Did I hear correctly? Liddy came out of retirement and accepted a salary of $1 (one DOLLAR!!) to have to sit in front of that bunch of democrat hypocrites and be told how awful he and his executives are?!?!?!

God, we need You to start zotting with the lightning bolts anytime now!! PLEASE!!!

Our country can’t handle much more of this blatant, in-your-face corruption!!! :*(

This has got to be unconstitutional....ex post facto?

Makes the pols look good in the short term and costs the taxpayers more in the long term- typical CYA tactic by pols.

My GOD, I've resisted the 3rd party temptation up to now, but this is freaking unbelievable.

Then take them to court.

Congress is outside its bounds of authority.

Thank you for that clip. If only we still had a few good souls in our media... Maybe they’re hiding out there somewhere. This is what needs to happen - TODAY!

See this thread for an even MORE compelling reason to be absolutely livid today:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2210006/posts
The House Passed Obama’s MANDATORY National Service Program which includes the plans for the “National Civilian Community Corps” and mentions “campuses” and uniforms for our youth to be “trained” to respond to “natural and OTHER disasters”. This is the civilian force Obama wants to be as “well funded, and well-equipped as our military.

And, that is just ONE SECTION! He has plans for citizens of ALL ages - forced servitude!!!

It’s definitely time to stand up and scream!
