-1)Last time I checked, the President made a statement saying that since we're at war, he doesn't have to obey laws that he doesn't want to.
-2)Newspaper box through window < Invading a sovereign nation under false pretenses and fear mongering. I'd argue about whether or not the Starbucks/window thing is anti-nationalism, but I don't want to right now...different thread.
-3)How much of the GDP is the current federal budget? How much will it be in six years, if current spending trends continue? How long did it take to get Plan B into stores as a non-prescription item, despite being characterized as the safest drug reviewed by the FDA? How much have barriers between church and state fallen in the past six years?
Yes. I'm hyperbolizing some. But only some. We are not headed in a good direction. Remember how great it was when all we had to complain about was the Prez getting head in the Oval? That was pretty terrific, by golly.
