The Tea Party people and the far right say we are losing our rights as citizens. Everything is Obama’s fault and he wants to destroy whatever rights we have left. They had no complaints when Bush was waterboarding people at Gitmo, getting legal cover for traveling wiretaps and setting up wider domestic spying. What rights are they talking about? Here is a comment that was published in the Wash Post. I think the writer was Joel Auerbach (some time has elapsed). .

 One of the recurring themes in recent political discourse (I want to use the word tropes here, but it does not flow naturally from my pen) is that government is depriving us of our freedoms. Apparently, we basically are living in the Soviet Union. You can't walk down the street without feeling oppressed by the federal government. Like the parkway near my house where they're using stimulus money to fix up the streetlights: Whenever I drive down that road I feel like I'm living through Darkness At Noon.

 And what about taxes! Obama wants to raise taxes. Not on me, mind you, and not on most people I know. But the fact that he wants to raise the marginal rate to, like, 39.6 percent on income over $250,000 brings  to mind Mao and the Cultural Revolution. Why not just send us all to re-education camps???

Someone in Montgomery County, Maryland set fire to a speed trap camera. Breaks my heart.

The early investigation shows the fire was deliberately set and disabled the camera, Graham said.

So no chance the suspect was caught on tape before the flameout?

"No ma'am." said Graham. "Based on the mechanics of how the camera operates, unless the suspect was running past at 35 miles an hour with a burning match, the camera wouldn't have gotten it."
