You know you're old when the term "Traitor" is what Tea Republicans call Republicans that voted to raise the debt ceiling, voted for Obama Care, and/or voted their conscious. See Tea Republicans Eat @!$%#!

You know you're old when "Patriot" described someone that served in the Armed Forces and not to describe a flag wrapped Republicans that once attended a "Tea Rally In The Alley," with a loaded AKR.
