The "Don’t Lie for the Other Guy anti-straw purchasing program"?
Uh.... with Project Gunwalker, isn't it the BATFE that is doing the lying and obfuscating?
How about their not taking action when they have direct knowledge that a crime is occurring, leading to the death of an agent from a different Federal agency and possibly the deaths of many others in Mexico?
Maybe the problem is my Catholic upbringing, where I was taught that the sins of omission can be as damning as the sins of commission.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke
Then again, Edmund Burke was also responsible for uttering other gems:
"In a democracy, the majority of the citizens is capable of exercising the most cruel oppressions upon the minority."
"Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance."
"The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."
At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Ben Franklin was asked what form of government we had:
Come on now! ATF has been enabling, condoning, and encouraging straw purchasing for several years now. It;s been said that one shot up road sign stands to undo thousands of dollars of pro-gun advertising. Just what do y'all think Project Gunwalker is going to do to ATF's "Don't Lie For The Other" Guy campaign? To say nothing of the dollars NSSF has poured into the government's rathole. [W3]

Not a democracy.
Nothing less than domestic enemies, in my book.
