Just because we disagree with you is the same as me tagging tagging you for blindly following the media scandal circus. It is unproductive and adds nothing to the debate.

As far as being consistent with our beliefs, as I've said several times, I'm concerned about the Patriot Act and have been since 2001 when it was passed by Congress. I just don't see how this is NOW a scandal nor how it's all President Obama's fault.
