Short version: A President and executive branch that believes it can pick and choose which laws to obey, and ignore the public’s elected representatives (this NIH thing), and who considers a wide range of ordinary Americans to be its enemies (various terrorist lists), and has given itself authority to gather personal information about such people (the DHS thing), and further authority to shut down any media it chooses (SOPA/PIPA), and arrest whoever it wants without recourse (NDAA).

This is looking more and more like a full-on assault on free speech and a nascent police state.

None of this would be possible without the acquiescence of the GOP.  Face it, both parties are enemies of the people. We have nowhere to go.

Face it, both parties are enemies of the people.

Agreed.
I remember NY-23; that alone should be proof that the party is NOT on the side of the people.

We have nowhere to go.

[...] Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
