At every turn obama takes us closer and closer to an old East German like society. Papers! You have no authorization for this activity! ...
It is the parable of a frog in hot water. Ten years ago, if the feds had stood up and enacted or admitted all these things at once - NSA spying, government controls on travel, fast 'n furious, letting Muslims kill ambassadors, infringements and attacks on the entire Bill of Rights, etc. we would have marched on DC and demanded accountability, prosecution, and removal from office. That is not just from the Executive Branch but many from Congress too. But gradually, we have watched our freedoms and liberties eroded. It is sickening.
And yes, I believe there is a huge political element to this - not just a primal lust for power and control. If former President Bush had done half the things obama has done the liberals and MSM's heads would've exploded.
I am going to refer to the armed agents of the illegal and abusive treatment of citizens and guests as VoPo — Volks Polizei, the East German DDR’s “People’s Police”. These tactics are more like those of a Communist dictatorship.
