Obama Acts to Suppress Dissent
On Resistnet.com, today, there was a very chilling tale of a person who was grilled by Homeland security because they put a sign in their front yard (Spokane Wa.) saying “Obama is a traitor-make a citizens arrest now.” Homeland Security came and searched the person’s home and grilled them. Now, that person has been summoned to court under charges of “inciting an uprising against the President.”
This is not the only time this has happened. Last week, Chip Henderson in Oklahoma City had a bumper sticker that said “Abort Obama, Not Babies”. The Secret Service trailed him and then searched his home also, saying that he was threatening the President’s life, according to NewsOk. Mr. Henderson is a Christian who opposes abortion.
Now, mind you when the same signs were about Bush, no one made any objection.
It was okay to bash Bush. Looks to me like Obama can’t stand criticism. Suppression of
dissent is not conducive to democracy. I had mentioned this early in 2008, when I said that Obama had the signs and symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Of course, one of those traits is an inability to deal with opposition.
Even Senator Jim DeMint, from South Carolina has called for Americans to take to the streets, for “peaceful demonstrations”, according to The Augusta Chronicle. And, of course, we can’t leave the post without Rick Santelli the original “tea party rant”. When Larry Kudlow interviewed Rick Santelli, he said the response by Gibbs/Obama to his rant was an “assault on the Press,” worse that anything he had seen before. Looks like the Honeymoon with the Media is coming to a screeching halt.
