So if someone wants this kind of career and the best kind of life for himself and his family, he deserves no respect?
Not if they get in bed with the devil to do it.

Come on now you can't blame an individual if he personally feels that he wants to fallow a career in law enforcement. Then decides that he wants to focus in on, enforcement on Tobacco, or Alcohol, or Explosives/bombs. And the best way to further your career, make the most money, to get the best benefits, to have better hours, so on and so on and so on. Is to go up the chain, so that usually ends with a job in the ATF. So if someone wants this kind of career and the best kind of life for himself and his family, he deserves no respect? Even if he has nothing to do with the firearm aspect of the agency, or even if he has no part of making any policy. He is just doing a job, to support his family, doing something that is his passion, and he personally is doing nothing wrong, but because his employer is the BATFE, (which is were he will make the most), he deserves no respect?
We are all open to our own opinions, I am just having a hard time wrapping my head around this. Its okay though. God Bless.
hehe, nice list. looks like someone has been reading the 10th amendment.

EXCLUSIVE: Issa demands "gunwalking" information from Secretary Clinton
Posted by Sharyl Attkisson
Today, the head of the House Oversight Committee fired off a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her agency's refusal to turn over documents and information about the ATF "gunwalking" scandal exposed by CBS News.
"Given the gravity of this matter, this refusal is simply unacceptable," reads the letter from Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.).
[edit]
"This refusal is mystifying in its own right" and "stands in stark contradiction to the promise of transparency promoted by President Obama," reads the Issa letter. He is now asking for the information as well. "Additionally, please explain in detail the reasons behind your refusal to answer the Senator directly."

Justice Dept. “Surprised and Disappointed” With Subpoena Issued for ATF

WASHINGTON — No surprise, politics is surfacing inside the beltway.
The Justice Department on Friday expressed disappointment in a Congressional committee which issued a subpoena for documents from ATF on a controversial gun program, saying it had already told the committee it planned to cooperate.
“We are therefore surprised and disappointed when shortly after we notified your staff of our intent to work with the Committee, you nevertheless issued a subpoena a few hours later,” the Justice Department wrote Friday to the committee chair Rep. Darrell Issa. “ Despite this unnecessary step on your part, we will review the subpoena and work with the Committee to address your concerns.”
The Justice Dept. response came on the same day Issa, chair of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, announced he had issued a subpoena to ATF after the agency failed to a meet the Wednesday deadline to handover documents pertaining to the gun-walking programs Operation Gunrunner and its offshoot, Operation Fast and Furious.
