I think it was Rush who asked what civil liberties the Feds had taken from me. Ruby Ridge, Waco and several other incidents have taken my faith and trust in the Federal Government. There is no excuse for stalking a man invading his property and killing his children and wife. As for Waco, the very kids they claimed they were protecting were murdered by Government "professionals" - every one of them with a college degree. The Sheriff in Waco told the BATF he could get Koresh to come in with no violence. They told the Sheriff to do traffic control. Makes me sick to this day.
Bumps and bravos to your post. I can't improve on it.
