Amazing how quickly a person can be turned into a criminal by a government whose primary purpose is NOT protecting the rights and freedoms of it citizenry.

While I agree with this guy's motives and am surely sympathetic to his cause, it scares the hell out of me. Why? Because if speeches like these, and actions like these, become widespread, and get serious attention of authorities, I would not put it past this president so shut down the internet "in the interest of national security". He already posses that power under some prior executive order. Or even to declare martial law. And then there would be pure hell to pay. And I'm not engaging in some kooky conspiracy theory. All who post here know full well what BO is capable of. And with Boston, ricin letters, possible or probable involvement of sleeper cells, gun buyers going nuts, his loss over the gun bill already making him furious.....one more terrorist incident might be enough to push him over the edge.
