slimy, power-hungry thugs
help themselves to more and more
control over our privacy?

of many intelligent and even patriotic citizens by presenting a
facade of protecting the security of
the American people.

Bewildered
Unapologetic
Self-serving

Running wild, running free
under the banner of liberty
mowing down your family

eating nails and righting wrongs
lighting fires and dropping bombs
