Obama's assault on personal freedoms is stupifying.Even more incredible is the sloth like indifference of the general public who want to be enslaved by the state thinking they will be safe and free.

See http://www.ronpaul.com/ Ron Paul to Obama; "Don't assassinate American citizens." Scroll down to 2nd short video.

Obama has kept Bush's Patriot Act,wants to bring in preventative dentention.ie even if you are suspected of commiting a crime you can be held indefinitely without a trial.This will mean the repeal of habeas corpus.

I see these outrageous statements by Obama as a ploy to push the boundaries of what the US people will find as acceptable in terms of the limitations of their personal freedoms and rights.

If enough people are outraged Obama,then he will offer a more palitable restriction like "Preventative Dention." This is how the process of facism creeps into our lives.

During the Christopher Monckton lecture at the Sydney Hilton yesterday,a couple of people raised alarm at the loss of freedoms we endure now.One was from Czechoslavakia and could see the parallels here in Aust to his old communist totalitarian homeland.

We cannot give up our rights and freedoms and live under the illusion of being safe from terrorism.That is an oxymoron.

Love to see you put the same sort of passion into similar things happening here locally.

Yes Stg.Just watch the throngs of idol worshippers fill the streets in Sydney when Obama visits in March 2010.They will be unquestioning in their admiration because he is black and aparently can do no wrong.

Most of the Obama worshippers will not consider in their wildest dreams that Obama has betrayed democracy and the basic rights of his fellow Americans.

Obama was the perfect foil to deflect attention and criticism away from the oligarchs of Wall St and the Fed.The left feel he can do no wrong and the right wing Corporates love him since he has extended the Bush agenda of granting more power to a few global elites.

quite right Arjay, if he was white, many OLO posters would be howling out about Obama.
Just as KRudd can do no evil, neither can Obama.
All the elections did was change the puppets, the puppetmasters remain the same.
