Obama DOJ On Fishing Expedition For Police Who Are “Civil Rights” Meanies

In a major shift in policy since the Bush era, ‘civil rights investigators’ are being sent out by Obama’s Justice Department to large urban police departments […]

Never Saw This Coming: Goals Shift In Libya Kinetic Operation

I don’t think anyone saw this coming at all. It should be a complete and utter shock to everyone out there, right?

ACLU Has Hissy Fit Over Prom Breathalyzer Tests
