Well, I think conservatives care about the UN because we pay about 25 percent of its dues, it meets on our soil, and operates with impunity. Even after this, it still acts against the interests of the United States. Everyone likes to hear about what they hate. It gets us riled up, and for us political types, we live to get riled up.
Regarding Homeland Security, it is an imperative part of our country's defense. Secret police? You must be kidding. People are pissed about wire taps. People are pissed about torture accusations. I'd be furious if I ever found out we werent torturing people and tapping their phones. The government is charged with defending this country, and I think they should do it by whatever means needed. People can proclaim about the lack of personal freedoms, but I don't see the government stripping you of much. Chances are, tapping phones are the tip of the iceberg. I'm not worried, because I don't do anything wrong. I don't really think HS or the CIA or the DIA or NSA is concerned about what I say to my mom or girlfriend, unless it ends with "death to the infidels. All praise be to Allah."
