Now you're sounding just like Torvald with his "usual suspects". You openly invite this stuff, and that's indicative of just how far outside normal rationality your political thinking is. If you'd listened to what we told you the first time around you wouldn't have problems with "Trolls". The fact that you made the comment marks you as troll-bait and as a troll yourself. You need to stop leaping and start thinking.
As Bilge_Rat said, the Lefties made these claims against Reagan, and then against GW, and the Righties said the same things about Clinton. The wonderful watchdogs who protect us from ourselves always seem to cling to one side or the other, and never have anything reasonable to say. It's always "Bush this" and "Obama that", and they never actually discuss anything, just preach. They are the voice in the wilderness, and God is on they're side, and if only we'd listen they could save us all from some bogeyman or another. One thing they never see is that those of us who truly do think about these things believe that they are just as dangerous as the people they want to save us from.
Sure, I have problems with Obama, and it's true that the government always manages to erode our freedoms until we get upset enough to do something about it, but that doesn't mean he's planning to usurp the Constitution and make himself President For Life, and if he did the people themselves would never stand for it.
As Jefferson pointed out,
"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
