Interesting comment, well worth repeating:

They are getting ready to put down an insurrection.

And they don’t know if it will come from the right or left (they really don’t).

(Emphasis added)

Nor do they care, as long as they can rule the ruins.

There is real fear on the left that there will be cuts to entitlements (there will be, the only question is if they will be planned). And then there is those on the left who feel that Obama isn’t moving fast enough.

But the real reason is that the State is very scared of the people right now.
