I wonder... Didn't the Patriot Act of 2001 institute some of those "firsts"?

Then there was the Anti-Sedition Act of 1917... much the same thing...

I am not a fan of Obama, I am just sick and tired of this constant bitching and moaning... the man is a lame duck, get us some QUALITY candidates for 2016 and then lets talk.

I don't want to see Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman's name anywhere near the ballot, either... same goes for Hillary.

Keep the Tea Party extremists out, keep the leftists out and give us some good old fashioned moderates who might actually be willing to negotiate and get something done.

yes, I am tired of this shit. Seriously tired...

I am not a political person, but regardless if the president is democract or republican, they all do stupid things; some on their own accord, some they are told to do. I always take these sort of internet accounts with a grain of salt.
