DISCLAIMER:

• I realize some of these are more important than others, obviously passing the NDAA and allowing the indefinite detention of American citizens is exponentially worse than appointing lobbyist Holder.
• Do not assume I agree with Bush or another politician because I disagree with Obama.
• I am opposed to corruption, corporatism, interventionist wars, secrecy, and policies destroying our liberties.
