If the activities of his campaign and supporters are any indication, dissent will be dealt with in a ruthless fashion in an Obama administration. Wholesale vandalization of McCain signs in Maryland, threats of prosecution of McCain supporters by pro-Obama sheriffs and district attorneys in Missouri, the illegal search of Joe the Plumber's private state records by top level Ohio bureaucrats who sit on Obama's Ohio steering committee, the threat to television stations who run McCain ads, by Obama's incoming Federal Communication Commission members................all this is reminiscent of Zimbabwe and Kenya, not the United States. But that is exactly the tyranny that Barack Obama and the New York Times are about to unleash on us. And the journalists and self-declared 'conservatives' (like the chameleons Doug Kmiec and Christopher Buckley) who are jumping on the gravy train may well regret their enthusiasm for the 'new' kind of governance. It will be new alright...for never in our modern history will we have seen the use of Federal law enforcement and federal courts to shut down the voices of dissent in print, on the air, and even physically in person.
Oh, you think the ACLU will do something? Heck no, they will cheer on the sidelines as evangelical Chrsitians, believing Catholics, and anyone else who they despise is silenced. And please, don't tell me that 'but Joe Biden is a Catholic'. So was Roger Taney, the pre Civil War Chief Justice who 'personally' agreed with his bishops that slavery was immoral but didn't want to 'impose' that belief on others.
