That at least shows you have a remnant of intellectual honesty.

No, it shows that I'm not a wacko. If you think we're living in another Cambodia or the Soviet Union, you're delusional. I wouldn't be posting here if I wasn't concerned about the way things are going, but I'm not afraid of being stuck in jail for voting Republican or for that matter, posting on Free Republic. I'll go further than that and say that Obama isn't to blame for all of the bad precedents that are being set and the current political/economic situation. His predecessor gets much of the blame for that.

No, it simply shows you're in denial.

Once again, I clearly stated we were in the early stages of the implementation of Stalinist techniques and methods of intimidation and repression. It is an incremental process.

In response you again engage in hyperbole and falsely claim I said things I clearly did not, e.g. "If you think we're living in another Cambodia or the Soviet Union, you're delusional." To the contrary, I simply, and quite correctly pointed out that the preliminary techniques, laws and regulations, demonization of "undesirables" by the political elites and media, etc., etc., etc., those precursors which history already shows often lead incrementally to more overt and brutal forms of oppression, all of these are already being implemented right now.

I wouldn't be posting here if I wasn't concerned about the way things are going, but I'm not afraid of being stuck in jail for voting Republican or for that matter, posting on Free Republic.

Nor am I, for the moment. Again you resort to hyperbole while ignoring the actual examples where state-sanctioned intimidation and threats are being applied, some of which I referenced in my previous post. They will go for the most easily demonizable groups and individuals first, e.g. protesters and activists for "undesirable" causes, bloggers and New Media, gun owners, etc.

I'll go further than that and say that Obama isn't to blame for all of the bad precedents that are being set and the current political/economic situation. His predecessor gets much of the blame for that.

Finally we are in complete agreement on something. Obama and Bush are both merely useful operatives in a much bigger plan, one which has been in process a long, long time. Millions of Americans are finally beginning to become aware of this, but unfortunately the hour is very late, perhaps too late...
