What in the world are you folks so frightened of?

Are you afraid that the Federal government might seize you off the street, declare you "an enemy combatant," and lock you up for as long as they want, without trial? Are you afraid they might unilaterally declare that might torture you, or anyone else, if they think it's important for national security? Are you afraid that the federal government might listen in on your phone calls, emails, and other communications without a warrant? Are you afraid that they might explode the Federal deficit, spending billions they don't have, and saddling our children with the debt? Are you afraid the Govt might plunge this nation into an expensive, years long destabilizing war on false pretenses?

I don't blame you if you are, but these were all policies of the prior administration, and I don't remember a lot of complaining about it from the angry right wing. To the extent that the Obama Administration has not ended these policies, I share your frustration.

But it is astounding to me that so many people seem to believe that our constitution is under attack because a person they don't agree with was duly elected President of the United States and is pushing forward the policies he campaigned on. Last I checked, that happens just about every four or eight years.

And by the way, the last I checked, Obama has said he believes the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to own guns, and has advanced no legislation or initiatives of any kind to do anything to curb gun ownership. At all. I would suggest at least waiting until he does something -- or indicates a desire to do it -- before you grabbing your weapons and swearing to shoot.
