Allow me to invoke the Godwin Law here. Not since the McCarthy Era has this nation taken on the paranoia of the Hitler regime in the 1930's. Intelligence gathering has entered the 21st century. We either keep up or get blown up.

This is where you and I differ. I don't give a fuck what letter is after someone name, if they are doing something that is wrong, well it is wrong.
Don't worry though, not one single fuck is given. Soon we can get back to arguing about guns, gays and abortion. Yippeeee!
