[UA] The Patriot

[Rayburn, Russell E.]

In a sense, they all fit.  

I'll also note a group of "traditional republicans".. those who think
the neocons are liberals in conservatives clothing.  The TR's might even
be classified as "classic liberals" or "libertarians", depending on
who's doing the classifying.

You could say they're Patriots in that they firmly believe that America
as envisioned by the founding fathers, while far from perfect, is the
best deal going for the common man ( maximized individual liberty, a
gutted Federal government continually at war with itself, etc. ).  

You could also say that they're fighting Against all other political
systems... I guess this gets down to how you define "Patriot".

I was thinking about that; seems like it could be a good fit in certain
places where national sentiment is largely defined by opposition to a
particular other country or entity: Ireland, Palestine, Chechnya, or
perhaps recent America.
