These Federal agencies have a lot to hide right now as they are being used by the Administration more than ever as punishment tools for those that disagree with the Obama/Dem agenda. The EPA is targeting businesses that are owned or run by conservatives. We know about the IRS, NSA, and BATFE.

Government on every level is out of control, and we better start holding them accountable.

Justice Department officials said the photo was included as a joke and that they were unaware it was viewed as offensive by agents. They plan to remove the entry, but not until the government shutdown is ended and federal officials return to work, said Richard Marianos, the special agent in charge of the Washington division of ATF.

Seriously? Am I the only one who thinks this is the epitome of narcissism? Do they really think we are that damn stupid?

I know, these are merely rhetorical questions. Just pointing out how absurd it has become.

Considering they routinely get away with basically whatever they want these days and elections have meant essentially nothing for the last decade or three, yes. 2008 and 2012 give them very, very little reason to think we're not stupid.

Anyway, ATF doesn't need to hypothetically threaten with firing squads, they're called SWAT teams. Thanks to our glorious "War on Drugs", police can be sent to anywhere on suspicion that drugs MAY BE present, bust in and kill whoever they see (particularly if you try to defend yourself), and the worst that happens to them is they have to write a measly check after the fact out of the taxpayers' pockets and say "Oops, sorry, wrong address." That basically amounts to government owned death squads.
