Default Obama wants a peek at your hard drive

Honestly I couldent tell if this was a hoax piece or not.

However if it is not I'm sure some of you will find this disturbing news.

I'd go as far as to say it's what state-owned Russian media does best. This is slanted at best, propaganda at worst. Provide another source please.

This is loosely related.

Your right, you won't. Nor will you need to give up your guns, revert to a socialist system of government, be more susceptible to terrorist attack or make friends with terrorists. It doesn't stop the alarmists from wailing like spoiled school children though....

I have no guns. No big deal there. I do not see me reverting to any type of government. I'm good with just waking up in the morning. Sure we are safer from terrorist attacks( just trust me on that one that is all I can ask). Well, Paul Revere was an alarmist. What is wrong with an alarmist?

I'll start the wailing. You sure try hard to convince yourself that Democrats are not a problem. Big news....they are attrocious and very dangerous to liberty. Just what do you call a system of government that provides top to bottom "free" healthcare while undermining private health options? "Freedom"? "Liberty"? "Capitalism"? What is the problem that you simply cannot see the danger to personal and economic freedom while they now seize private businesses with taxpayer money and now are trying to control financial compensations within them? I guess to you that's "freedom" and bears no resemblance to any type of socialist central planning in anyway. Perhaps you can see the fascist resemblance to some of it? Perhaps not. I guess now that we cannot even define the enemy in the terror war, nor can we even properly describe the action as "war on terror" we're going to make friends with the enemy. And we will be safer to boot. We've already seen how his gestures played out with Iranian Ayatollah. And now we have his AG admitting some of the people at Guantanamo will have to be released in the US. Not my words...his. I'm sure you would feel comfortable if one of these guys moved next door to you because you so trust Obama and his decisions.

On the gun front, Democrats may not be taking away guns now, but they sure do make it more difficult for people to own them. They do everything they can to make the process of acquiring one a nightmare so as to perhaps dissuade people to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights. Take the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing and Records Act of this year and some of the troubling provisions within. It defines all gun dealings as interstate commerce, which automatically makes them subject to federal restrictions and it requires that all persons who even possess a "qualifying" firearm be licensed by the feds as a "gun dealer". Can you not see a problem there, or do you think this will reduce gun violence as the bill says it's main goal is? I guess you're just taking the administrations advice and just closing your eyes to it. Well that's easy for some I guess. I guess to many Dems, the alarm over what many see as gross incompetence, harmful financial and government realignments, irresponsible actions in our current overseas "contingency actions", and the incompetent foreign policy to go with it are something you should just simply term alarmist. Quite funny. But we do need more alarmed people out there against what you voted to bring us.
