Stomp all over people's civil rights, gut government agencies that protect and serve all of us, kill Americans on the street in cold blood, and pilfer tax payer funding for personal gain.....get's little in the way of traction. But jack up their gas prices, not to mention their groceries, and they're fucking up in arms!!! I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
