xactly - criticism will not only be unacceptable, it will be deemed so dangerous that it will have to be silenced. The worst is yet to come....

Yes, and the way they'll get dissent silenced will be to tie criticism of Chairman Hussein to the prohibition against threatening the life of the President:

TITLE 18 PART I CHAPTER 41 § 871
Threats against President and successors to the Presidency

Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.[emphasis added]

The foundation for the speech codes is being laid.

That’s strange. None of these rules have been in place for George Bush.
