28. Whistle blowers

I don't think ANYONE is in favor of the approach the Obama administration has taken against whistle blowers.

Only those in our government favor these tactics.

They govern out of fear and what ifs.

Our voices have been silenced.

That is the reality we live in these United States of America.

What specifically was the "dirty work" that you say that Nixon was doing for the Eisenhower Admin? AnotherMcIntosh Mar 2013 #7

You're distorting. No one said worse than Nixon in everyway. What the fellow said was that, snot Mar 2013 #10
