Barack Obama

The notion that somehow we are all so safe, to the point that we don't need the NSA anymore, is absurd.

The whackjobs that live up North in Northern Idaho don't want any federal government, as they rail against it all of the time.
Almost 30 years ago they started railing against "black helicopters" and they became more paranoid as they grew to be more anti-government.

That is, until they retire, and then they are the ones that shout the loudest that their Social Security checks aren't enough to get by on!!
They are the same whackadoodles that voted for "Right to Work" for less back in 1986 here in Idaho.
And so they worked for lower wages until they retired, and now they wonder why they have such small Social Security checks.

As a result, we've been dealing with people who have expressed "Tea Party" values here for a long time.
They are not moderate Republicans, they have always been extremist Republicans.
Most of them gave up on the idea of trying to be moderate about their value system a long time ago.
So, for me, most of what they spew is just recycled garbage that I have heard before.
Many decades before, in fact.
