The Federal Government has been taking away your rights for years, one little, seemingly inconsequential piece at a time while giving you "free" stuff. You took it. You didn't complain then. Why act surprised or offended now. You chose to take the relief and traded in your independence and freedom.

It's a little late to complain. And don't insult my...or your own...intelligence by acting surprised.

A second Obama term will improve the EPA’s tactics.

First they came for my pot...

Then they came for my hookers...

Then they came for my guns...

Then they came for my toothpaste at the airport...

Then they came for the creek that runs through my property...

Then they came for my raw milk...

Now they are coming for my opinions...

This is why I am against the war on drugs. This is what it started, and this is the end result.

Those that are willing to sacrifice liberty for security will end up with neither one

this is an interesting topic.

the article is not easy to follow - but i think the guy Keller [the ordinary citizen affronted by the epa visit] got in trouble by emailing someone not in the epa?

Why did he talk to the agents?
Did they have a warrant? No, then screw them. Don’t even answer the door.

The only option at this point is to rid the nation of the Obama administration, crack down on the EPA, and rid us of the threat it poses....

Amen!

I will hold my nose and vote for the "lesser of 2 evils" as at least Mittens has (at least to my knowledge and those who hate him are welcome to correct me with documented evidence to the contrary) never said or done anything which would indicate his HATRED or INTENT on harming (if NOT destroying) our Republic.

At this point, if forced to vote for Dear Leader or Beelzebub, I'd have to toss a coin as I could not tell the difference.

This is one of many examples demonstrating that even a liberal who values freedom should demand a smaller federal government constrained by the enumerated powers. If they don’t want a bloated conservative presidency trampling individual rights, they should oppose the precedent being set today by the bloated Obama Administration’s thuggish tactics.

“Armed” EPA officials? Why is that not surprising? I can’t think of a single reason that EPA employees would be armed.

It’s a creepy email. He obviously did not just want to say “Hello.” He meant to imply more than that. Can no one see that? As it is, it seemed like a threat to me, but if they did what they are accused of doing, they overreacted.

“The Federal Government has been taking away your rights for years, one little, seemingly inconsequential piece at a time . . . “

It’s called Prgressiveism.
