They deceived the public." This reflects the DEA's contempt for liberty, elections, democracy, and the intelligence of American voters in many states over a period of years. Jesus says it is not what enters a man that defiles him, but what comes out (Mark 7:15). This treasonous language spewing from the DEA while America fights for the freedom of others speaks much of the anti-American, anti-Christian, and anti-family values of those who only wish to preserve their well-abused privileges to impose suffering upon those who've harmed no one nor their property while living off other peoples' taxes. Some say terrorists will take away our freedom. The DEA political ideology calls American elections "coups," and continues to terrorize those deemed "politically incorrect." They appear to relish their opposition to American democracy. The DEA and the Justice Department owe the people of this and other states an apology for their arrogance and treasonous contempt against our elections, our democracy, our liberty and our intelligence. Limit government, not liberty. It is still our patriotic duty. Glenn White Dublin - --- MAP posted-by: Alex
