Obviously you didn't read the OP then.
Posting on a message board is harmless. When you become an active irritant to the Obama personally, you become a target. Too many have already found this out.
A political target perhaps, but has anyone been taken out and shot? That's what I think of when I hear the word "tyranny". It's that kind of hyperbole that causes people to discount the Obama-haters.
Excuse me?
Taken out and shot? Is that the standard?
There are other ways of taking people out. One of them is destroying their lives. This is the first time I've seen the kind of abuse that the White House has been dishing out. The only thing that even comes close to some of the thuggish behavior we've witnessed from Obama was when LBJ blackballed Eartha Kitt for mouthing off to him in public.

My wild-ass-guess is that we'll look back on the Obama administration and say yes, this was the turning point. But it won't completely because of Obama, it will also be about the culmative effects of liberalism in general, an educational system, a media, and a culture (via Identity Politics) that have been pushing in that direction for decades now.
I could even argue that it's a chicken-or-the-egg issue: Did Obama create "the change", or was he the result of it?
So, as I've been babbling for quite a while, here we go: A move away from federalism and towards central planning; deeper divides between races and less assimilation by immigrants; more dependence on government; more scorn and punishment for individual achievement and effort; deeper political divides but a clear momentum for the Democrats due to their wildly successful Identity Politics strategy; a culture in clear decay; continued lowered standards and expectations and the inevitable resulting decline.
Not trying to sound alarmist, we've already passed the tipping point. So the question is how well those of us who are not thrilled by this can adapt to it.
Give the credit/blame to Obama, or consider the possibility that he's the result and not the driving force.
.
He was the lynch pin that got the ball really rolling. Most of the changes were happening under the surface. He just brings it out in the open. He's the progressive spokesman who is tasked with making us used to all of the changes...

If you call that tyranny, you have an extremely low bar. What do you call what Hitler and Stalin did? My opinion stands, calling the Obama administration "tyranny" is a prime example of why people consider his most ardent detractors deranged and why he won re-election despite a very so-so record. He's been greatly aided by his opponents being their own worst enemies.
I'm sure most of you feel like we're almost living in a Twilight Zone these days. How can Obama get away with what he's doing? How can he go out in public and say all of these scandals are phony with a straight face? Well, it's easy, he knows everything about everyone. Anyone who becomes involved in what he's doing Obama has the goods on them. Even before they begin to become a problem he's already got them by the balls.
Fact is, just about everyone has done something that can be exploited. if not, they know enough to make something up. Everyone is vulnerable. Some of us more so than others. Some of us have cheated on an exam or fudged on our taxes and still some have sent pictures of their penis to strange women. Think about your past. Has there ever been something you have done that if it came to light would embarrass you? Anthony Weiner has been caught several times but that didn't stop Geraldo Rivera from doing it last week.
There is a reason why this country is so great. We've always felt we had privacy. In many countries privacy is a thing of the past or it never was. Here in America your privacy is a right. Thanks to recent revelations about NSA spying and IRS abuses, our security, our peace of mind is slowly slipping away. This is one of the primary reasons so many come here. It's not just that the country is the land of opportunity, or used to be. It's the secure feeling that we used to have that nobody was looking over our shoulders.
The year started out with the Administration hammering new gun regulations down our throats. Then the IRS scandal came to light, ether by design or by necessity. Then it was discovered that the NSA records every single communication that every single American does. They have total access to every email, every text, every tweet. Imagine the IRS, in full control of Obamacare, what they will be able to do once they look at your blood tests and discover if you've been using drugs or alcohol and begin to use it against you.
Taking all of this in to account, now imagine a White House that no matter what they do it seems nobody can stop them. The media won't call them into account and nobody has the courage to stand up to them because something in their history could possibly come to light or has already been pointed out to them could come to light.
It's clear that Obama has no intention of following the law. He applies our laws unequally whichever way suits him. I believe the GOP has come to the realization that there's really nothing they can do to stop him without destroying themselves in the process. The new Tea Party caucus doesn't know how it all works. Folks like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul don't know the real deal. Boehner, McCain, Christey, and the rest of the RINOs know where their bread it buttered. I believe that the White House made it obvious to everyone including the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. It's no accident that Obama has put every record of his past under lock and key. He doesn't want anyone else to do to him what he's willing to do to us.
This is the reality of America. This is the change that was promised. This country has been transformed into a police state. One that a large part of the populous isn't even aware of. The more you pay attention the more frightening it becomes. Some would say that our country has always been this way. Some may have tried to make it that way in the past, but they've finally got it all thanks to technology. Everyone that owns a cell-phone can be tracked. Every communication monitored and recorded to be used at a later date. This is why al Qaeda uses couriers instead of cell-phones. Once the government targets you you're toast.
HA! Tell that to the IRS. The same agency that is targeting groups that oppose Obama.The long of the short of it?

The fact that you can freely post on a message board about how much you hate our government or current President proves otherwise.
The far right blame the media instead of accepting the fact that the electorate knowingly, willing, voluntarily, and exceedingly happily, elected Obama and rejected the far right's vision for America.
The reactionaries get their own throat.
We know the Obama campaign engaged in massive voter fraud in 2008.
They also sought unsuccessfully to suppress the military vote, which historically votes conservative.
This time, they did both.
Before the election, we heard almost weekly about some shipment of absentee ballots getting lost on the way to our troops in Afghanistan. Or ballots being mailed out too late to be of any use in the election.
There was the odd story of a plane that crashed and “burst into flames” carrying absentee ballots into Afghanistan. Oddly, as soon as the story appeared, it disappeared. Did anyone die in the crash? What kind of plane was it? It seemed like a cover story in order to destroy the ballots.
Team Obama sued Ohio to prevent the military from voting early, a long-standing policy that worked around military training and deployments, because Team Obama said it wasn’t “fair.”
Considering that the election was extremely close (Obama won by roughly two million votes), the question becomes: if our troops’ votes were counted, would Romney have won?
Did Obama steal the election—again?
Will our soldiers come forward and demand that their votes be counted, and will the public stand behind them?
Let us hope so.

Obama won re-election not because he was popular but because the election was already preordained. The media helped Obama every step of the way, the debates were set up and moderated by the media elite. Rules like same-day registration, early voting in Ohio that lasted over a month made it impossible to prevent cheating. Rigged voting machines. Democrats voting multiple times. It happens in other countries, why not here.
BTW, every despotic regime starts out like this one. The key is feeding the population small portions of shit at a time till they have no freedoms left. Then every one of them does whatever the hell they want once they have the folks scared shitless.

You have been lied to.
The IRS scandal was manufactured. It was revealed that progressive groups were also subject to targeted review, though they had far fewer groups.
But let's face it. If your organization is founded on a belief that taxation is illegal and immoral; and if your group wants to abolish the IRS, than OBVIOUSLY your tax applications are going to warrant additional scrutiny. For who is more likely to break tax code than a group that believes taxes are illegal and evil.
But let's get to a bigger crock of shit.
You are aware that the Republicans blocked a recent amendment which would have challenged the National Security Agency’s collection of millions of Americans’ phone records. Democrats in the House voted overwhelmingly to repeal this holdover from the Bush surveillance state.
But . . . the Republican Party protected the NSA Surveillance Program in the recent House vote. The GOP supported the greatest concentration of Government power ever - but they lie about it in posts like this
House passes defense spending bill, rejects effort to cut off NSA surveillance program | Fox News
"Obama stole the election. It's happened before in other elections and his organization has taken it to an art form. After all, that is what he taught at the Unv. of Chicago for 12 years."
Grow up. We lost because the far right lied and denied, hated and raged.
The electorate said "screw you, reactionaries".

I loathe this Government in it's present form. It resembles nothing like the Founders created. Instead of promoting, safeguarding Liberty as was intended? It has instead taken liberty away.
