116. From what I've seen publicly of DEA

Mon Apr 2, 2012, 06:34 PM

Apr 2012

and personal experience with a few DEA agents (to be)

They seem to believe they're on a crusade, which is all kinds of wrong when perpetuated against citizens who are following state law.

But of course you go on to make straw man arguments to bolster your point.

Maybe what he (the poster you are responding to) said was a little over the top, but what the DEA is doing under Holder and Obaman is just seriously F'd up and beyond over the top.

Obama made another promise that he's made a full 180 on when bankers who've wrecked the economy are still running around free and getting their million dollar bonuses and yet he can spend time and resources going after organizations that are actually following state law and are not harming ANYONE. (holy run on sentence Batman!)
