This is a wake up call for every political activist to the left of the the current president's attorney general appointees who has ever filled out an income tax form, an application for federal student financial aid, an application for federal employment, served in the military, ad infinitim...
Maybe you were a gay man who decades ago said "no" when the military asked if you had ever had a homosexual relationship. Or you didn't state some piddly bit of income on a federal tax form because not being a tax lawyer you didn't know it was income. Or maybe you enlisted at age 14 because there were no jobs in rural South Dakota on the eve of World War II, and the recruiter went along with that little lie, and you were really 12 because you're birth certificate was never recorded... And because you were active in supporting Democrats or maybe just because you're drawing a federal employee pension and the Republican's can't balance their budget the Federal Agents may soon be knocking on your door, even if it's in a nursing home.
History tells us that the halocaust happened in small stages like this... "first they came for the immigrant activists, but I was not an immigrant activist". Let us Minneapolitans quit worrying about leaf blowers and insure that the sad history of the halocaust is not repeated here.
