Not yet. But in the same sentence where you try to evade the issue you still acknowledge those "worrying trends". That at least shows you have a remnant of intellectual honesty. What you lack, however, is historical knowledge and understanding, and the ability (or more probably, simply the willingness) to connect the dots of the data right before your eyes.
I clearly stated we were seeing actions "beginning" to mirror the Stalinist template. There are a lot of stages to those strategies which come well before the gulags and shooting people, and some of those ARE being implemented right now, such as legislation being introduced giving the Attorney General discretion to classify "dissenters", such as gun-rights advocates, Tea Party attendees, abortion or tax protesters, "radical" right-wing bloggers, etc. as "terrorists". Our mainstream media has already been co-opted and subdued (most of them willingly, I grant you) and is essentially functioning as a State-Run Media.
Those are just a few examples. There are many others, across a wide spectrum of issues, and these things are being documented and discussed on FR right now. The situation facing this nation and its people right now is well beyond the "worrying trends" stage you so blithely try to dismiss.
The point I made is not "bull". It is fact. It is reality. And, it is happening right now. You can ignore this developing reality if you choose, but there will come a time when that reality will not ignore you...
