#1 "compromise" means giving them 80% of what they want til you have to compromise away the other 20%.

"see how reasonable we are?"

#5 Another liberal seeing the world thru liberal eyes.

He never does identify the nation's enemies but you get this feeling that implicit in the article and unstated is that the conservatives are the enemy. As an example, he mentions that citizens are arming themselves. He never mentions that it is a reaction to violent crime.

it seems unthinkable that the U.S. could drift into dictatorship.

Why? We have been heading in that direction as rapidly as Obama can make it happen. He has tried to circumvent both the Constitution and Congress in every way he can.

The writer doesn't seem to understand "cause and effect." This author never quite seems to get the fact that in 2010 and again in 2014, the people have moved to protect themselves from Obama and the radical left. He just doesn't seem to like the direction of the country in response to Obama.

#6 it seems unthinkable that the U.S. could drift into dictatorship.

JQC, you don't seem to get the problem here. For people of this ilk there's nothing wrong with dictatorship BY THE RIGHT PEOPLE!

Call it "dictatorship of the proletariat" or "technocracy" or "aristocracy" (with self defined aristocrats) they are perfectly happy with a dictatorship by themselves.

They only complain about a dictatorship when it is by folks they don't agree with or groups to which they do not belong.
