Not just the US Department of Justice. Bigger than that.

Hitler used the Reichstag Fire to eliminate the Weimar Republic to become dictator.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Obama and his minions would do something similar.

Obama must not be elected, for the sake of our country.

Read “The Forgotten Man” by Amity Shlaes...see how the FDR administration treated the opposition.

Liberals love to use the strong arm of the government to further their aims and produce more ‘enemies’. It’s a given.

This all appears so dismal. Post this as a vanity...no. Having read several books now regarding our fellow Americans who happen to be liberal, I am still utterly confounded by their choices. It has taken years to get to this point, decades. And yet, here we are. Some 50+/- a few percentage points ready and willing to give away ...everything.

We have the two farthest leaning “democrats” running for the highest seat in the land and the opposition has a left leaning moderate. Why? We have one party running as far left as they can get and the other compromising our future.

None of the democrats issues, rhetoric, etc. match their behaviors! None of it! They have or will put up for Presidency a man grossly unqualified, unvetted, and unlinked to America as their candidate!?

I don't get it.

At what point do these tactics go to voter intimidation and electoral fraud?

At what point do these tactics go to suppression of Freedom Speech, which leads to freedom of information?

After promising to filibuster the FISA deal, Obama turned around and voted “Aye.” Who are we supposed to think he intends to use those powers against, should he be elected? What suddenly made it seem like such a good idea he was willing to totally reverse a campaign promise? Of course he’s salivating over the prospect of making his political enemies pay.

He’s also said he wants his own security force bigger & better funded than the military, IIRC.

That is why I questioned the need for a Department of Homeland Security..

Well, that too, perhaps. I'm talking Chinese Red Army type stuff -- where the army runs the major industries. In the US it would be twisted around a bit. The big "entertainment", communication, and search houses would take over thought control -- that is all this grand internet and mobile devices would be big-brotherized but in a distributed way. (That's Biden's baby.)

The FCC and the FEC would prevent any reactionary ideas from being posted or peer-to-peered. Goodbye usenet, goodbye FR, goodbye blogs. Except blogs that toe the line and talk about how great the Olympics are!

Employment regulation would increase -- re-education and firing of any unwilling to toe the PC line. Victim-group affirmative-action haves would be aggressively favored in every aspect of now-government regulated life.

The Government will favor sexual perversions and demand that school kids indulge. Obama's mentor Frank Davis's lurid stories will be prudish in comparison to what would happen.

This would a public-private-elite partnership or a highly coordinated order. Huge, gigantic.

A new police force? That's important, maybe, but small potatoes.

The Constitution doesn't limit the President's pardoning power, but no President has ever tried to pardon himself. I guess if Bush were worried he could resign at 11 a.m. on Jan. 20 and let Cheney issue the pardon.

If some foreign country sets up a "war crimes" commission and demands Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and other American officials be extradited for trial, would Obama comply? It might be a good idea if someone would ask him during the campaign. He'd have to say "no" even if he intended to hand them over, but it would really annoy his supporters to hear that "no."

Title correction:

An Obama Justice Department/Ministry of Truth would be used to prosecute Conservatives.

No ambiguity needed.
