Thanks for the ping, Kaslin.

The IBD Editorial board better watch out—they’ll get a call from the Republican leadership telling them to retract.
“Is U.S. Now On Slippery Slope To Tyranny?”
Yes. Next question please....
Yes. As the central government decomposes legitimate business in its quest for power...expect life to get worse. Lots worse.
Until We the People put our foot down.
The US is on the slip-n-slide to tyranny.
Never been more fitting a term for U.S. voters than now with the election of Comrade Obama.
Today Rush was saying that he could never get elected to anything because he could never pander. I guess Snerdly must have asked him if acquiring and holding an audience wasn't similar to attracting voters.
My thought was that it would be if only people of some reasonable intellect were allowed to vote. But now we let the "useful idiots" vote; and Rush is right because he could never attract and hold such people.

We are partway down that slope with too many spineless Republicans adding grease to the hillside. We have reached the stage where the Administration decides to file suit against a state for defending the US borders and makes the announcement on foreign soil to foreign media. Our national government has become the enemy. Louisiana has now supported a suit to overturn the Federal moratorium. The multistate case against Obamacare is also pending. There is a trend here for all to see.
Thanks for the ping, Kaslin.
How can this be? FReepers assure me all the time that the Golden Age arrives just after the next election. / s
America -- a great idea, didn't last.
Is U.S. Now On Slippery Slope To Tyranny?
Short answer, YES!
I would love to see a pay per view debate between Thomas Sowell and 'The W0n'. It wouldn't even be a contest since Barry's pretty much intellectually unarmed.
No slippery slope. America is already ruled by a tyranny of lawyers.
The law is whatever they can make a judge believe
Is U.S. Now On Slippery Slope To Tyranny?
Yes they are not listening. We are no longer a government of the people. They are trying to Rule.
zero, nanzi and hairy think they are dictators.
Yes. We have been headed towards tyranny for a long time.
But the people who tried to point it out were drowned out in a chorus of jeers of “kook” and “crazy”. Even around here, it was common to point out how government was abusing its power and people would shrug and assume growing government was fine because it would never be used against them, but just against the people they considered “bad people.”
You grew the beast. It’s just poetic justice when it turns on you.
Yes, but in actuality the slipperiness of all of this probably began around 1930 or so. (This is where I like to point out the Smoot-Hawley Tarriff Act of that year, but that’s a thread for another date and time).
So really you figure, what, 80 years of this slope has brought us to this point?
