Part of me says, "I wish he would try it." [Put Sarah Palin in Gitmo], but reality sets in and I realize that if he tried to, he would probably succeed. We haven't stood up to him on anything yet, so why start then? [If he tries to put Sarah Palin or any other popular Conservative in Gitmo.

In reality Obama does as he pleases and when he pleases.

Obama is described by what HE DOES not what his detractors “remain free” to do. Obama is in fact on the traditional arc for Evil.

“, including her attempt to portray criticism of her “speech” (her gun sights over Democratic districts prior to the Arizona massacre) as “blood libel”.

1) They werent gun sights. They were surveyor marks, moron

2) she wasnt referring to criticism of her speech as “blood libel”. After the shooting, liberals in and out of the news media were pointing fingers at those of us on the right, trying to pin blame on us (when the shooter was a left winger). Thats what she was accurately calling a blood libel. Falsely blaming a crime on a group of people who had nothing to do with it.

The psychological term for this is projection. What this liberal is really saying here is that she would like to throw all Conservatives into a concentration camp if she could get away with it. I'll bet O'Bastard feels the same way.

Well, first off Obama isn’t a Dictator. He’s a Tyrant. Tyrant is one step from Dictator.

As for Noam Chomsky, don’t worry about him. A genius he may be on linguistics, but he’s been outed as a Socialist disguising as an anarchist disguising as a left leaning libertarian — tending towards actually Communist and outed for a long time, and full of confirmation biases.

Nobody really quotes him today, nor listens to his political views anymore. Aside from his academics, history will have little use for him in the political and philosophical categories.

The reasoning - that arresting political opponents equals dictatorship - does provide a bright line, and there is a certain usefulness to this. By this argument, Madura of Venezuela is a dictator but Vladimir Putin isn’t.

However, the real world is characterized by a continuum. Usually, a graduates incrementally from democratic to dictatorial. Madura, in Venezuela, came very close to absolutely disarming the people. Democrats, in the U.S., want to take steps in that direction.

Generally, the opposition party is more sensitive to civil liberties than the ruling party. With some notable exceptions, it was the Democrats who criticized Bush for trampling on the Constitution, just as today it is the Republicans who criticize Obama.

People who deny such things as shades of grey and the role of the opposition in a democracy merely display their ignorance of how the world works.

“aporia,” What the heck does this word mean?

Link

1 : an expression of real or pretended doubt or uncertainty especially for rhetorical effect
2 : a logical impasse or contradiction; especially : a radical contradiction in the import of a text or theory that is seen in deconstruction as inevitable

I was curious too, so I looked it up.

The most amazing thing about this article is that it appears “journalists” like Sarah Jones believe the regime can and will protect them.

Obama hasn't had to send Sarah or any of his detractors into Gitmo or have them bumped off because he has the MSM to do his marginalizing for him.

If obamateur were a dictator ... well, let's just say that dictators often meet unpleasant fates. Hitler did. Mussolini did. Causescu did. Nikolas II did. Louis XVI did. Napoleon did. Etc.

That he hasn't succeeded doesn't mean he isn't trying.

I’ve never called Obama Hitler. I’ve said he is an affirmative action Hitler. A rather incompetent copy of the original with some of Hitler’s speech making capability without Hitler’s skill of giving a speech by memory.

Such a stupid contention. I guess, according to this chick, just Sarah using the term "Dictator" is silly, because she's not in jail, so Obama couldn't possibly be one. Anyway, according to leftists, the term Dictator should ONLY be used for right wingers. Witness, they never used that term for Lenin, Stalin, or Mao.

Sarah is WARNING us of Obama's actions, which are bordering on the dictatorial, by pointing out Obama's pronouncements and Executive Orders. These show that he has no intention of being held to the laws of this country.
