Yes, because your simply NOT ALLOWED to disagree with ANYTHING the government does. Although it's likely their stunted individual thought processes might be the result of a number of generations of inbreeding, which works out great for him because on christmas for his Mother,Sister, and girlfriend he just needs one present.

LOL

Glenn Beck said data will go to foreign govt too, i believe him. Gibbs will not answer those questions, he will dodge them. I think I might be getting to political in this post...

You have to click "I Agree", first. But I'm not going to try it - I'd like to not have to reformat the computer.
