Partisan BS aside, we as Americans should ALL be outraged at the enormous power the Feds have taken for themselves. We can all blame one person or another but that won't get us anywhere. There will be another flavor to come along and expand things even more and it will never stop until WE THE PEOPLE put a stop to it. If Americans as a whole stood up to this, it would be impossible to ignore or stop the people. It's way past time that the government starts to be afraid of WE THE PEOPLE so real liberty can be restored. I think BigDGeek said it best.. FIRE ALL OF THEM, EVERY SINGLE ONE! Start over with new rules that THEY MUST FOLLOW! At what point do we do this as a people by coming together and destroying the divisions that exist? I would think something like this would do it and I sure hope it does. Fighting amongst each other should be over, we should embrace each other to protect our future of liberty...

History shows the American people can be led to believe what the government tells them in the name of "national security".
We went so far as to round up Japanese-Americans and put them in our own version of concentration camps.
And Americans were just fine with that move.

Those that forget their history are bound to repeat it.

We can start by letting the politicians know they will no longer receive any campaign donations until it stops. Vote with your wallet. When they come around asking for money tell them no and that this is the reason.

The two party system is a complete failure:

The Republicans' Plan to Take Down Richard Cordray

This is worse than second graders fighting on the playground.

That would be a great start, I will do just that too when they come slinking around with their hand out.

I know, but you would think this, which doesn't have a political or partisan element to it, which targets every single one of us, would do it. It's a long shot, but I have some hope.

Many are not justifying it , some of the militant progressives are, most are just denying there is a problem.

It's only a problem for the crazy LWNJs when the other side does it. They have no soul, no brains, and no hope of common sense to view this as wrong.
