Because when you're keeping the American people safe, there are no rules - it's a jungle out there you know.

Obama's gone totally rogue.


Students didn't want to go to Vietnam and stopped it. Students are getting plundered for going to college, it's probably time to stop that too.



The NSA has gone rogue. This can't possibly have anything to do with our safety.


Mind blowing lack of sense of right and wrong from govt agents who think laundering the trail of their investigation is the right thing to do. We really are living in post-constitutional USA.
