This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If you don't think Social Security & Medicare are next, you're not paying attention. If you voted for this, you deserve all that's coming.
