Obama had tyrannical capabilities and acted upon them and Trump looks to be the same.  They have been offered that capability by lax SCOTUS rulings and by Establishment delight to rule by regulation.  The pendulum swings back with force when it has been pushed hard in the other direction.

I know it is much easier to believe in a utopia brought about by those who say they are looking out for us and know what is best to meet our needs.  It is also very easy to believe that nothing is changing and life as we have come to know it in the US will just go on without the necessity of action from us; the trash will get picked up, school buses will pick up the kids, the check will come in the mail, electricity will always be available, toilets will flush and the benign hand of the federal government will take care of all the bad things that threaten us....all we have to do is vote for the "right" people.

You go ahead, sweetie.  You can cite all the people you want to bolster your beliefs if it helps you.

You are wrong.  The slope continues slippery and has rapidly "progressed" during the 20th Century, but became even more treacherous during this century during the Bush and Obama administrations.  Progressives are patient Communists, even if they aren't aware that what they are doing helps to usher in Communism.  What is coming is anybody's guess, as Trump seems to be our most unprecedented leader, yet.  

I truly hope there never comes a time when you will be grateful that some of us take our rights and responsibilities seriously.   Of course, it is entirely possible that failing will just allow this "Grand Experiment" to slip forever into oblivion and most will never know what has been lost.  Still...there are many in foreign nations who hope the US can stand strong and remain a beacon of liberty to those who seek it.

It is all bound together in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution and Bill of Rights.  As They keep trying to unravel it, they know exactly what They are doing.

I am going to stop writing on this topic.

Wait, Obama acted on "tyrannical capabilities"? Jesus please us. Have you ever actually lived in an authoritarian regime? Where are you pulling this shit from?

Obama "tyrannical"? Looks like someone is -- pardon the pun -- triggered.

The way I heard it (out of Rush Limbaugh's mouth) was "Obama's totalitarian regime".   Wacky

That's how the rabid gunners think, folks. If you aren't worried about them you should be.

I worry about anyone who doesn't know the difference between liberty and tyranny, because sooner or later they will get the latter ... or inflict it.

Glad you don't fear me firearm owner. But the  Tongue Might indicate sarcasm in your response to Thump.

America already has corporate socialism. They socialize the profits at the top when they win, and socialize the losses on the other 99% below them when they lose.

If the morons on the economic right would do their history, after WW2 we had heavy taxes on the top and heavy investment in programs, the pay gap was much lower and pay ratio wise met the cost of living far better. Reagan started the decline of that.

I am a social liberal, but no, I don't want us to become Stalin's Russia or even Catro's Cuba. I am simply for busting up anything that gets too big, anti monopoly, not anti private sector.  I think we can have universal health care and cheep to free higher education. 

And thanks for your comments to Jeanne too. "Trust me I know what I am doing" has had a lot of kids accidentally shoot themselves or others. That happens way too much to simply blame it on the parents. I blame the far right and NRA marketing.

"Trust me". Dear Complete Stranger, why should I trust you with a gun?

Agreed, I already told you my family history of mental illness, you'd be right to question me. That is why "Legal at time of buy" isn't enough, because right now, I have no criminal record. 

I trust you from what I have read because you don't flip out like others here when I object to the way things are. And you keep them locked up, and I'd bet you don't brag to everyone in your face to face life about what you own. 

If anyone's argument is "RIGHTS" and "Just because", they completely miss the point because nobody is trying to or should try to ban every single firearm.
