Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live under tyranny? Now you know. We are no longer a nation governed by the rule of law. We now have the rule of Obama. America isn't bothered by this. Get ready for despotism.
Update: I understand any hesitance to use the word "tyranny". Inflammatory language strains credibility if not used appropriately and sparingly; but in this case, I believe tyranny is the appropriate word.
Tyranny... "oppressive power; especially oppressive power exerted by government"
Going by that definition I'd say we're there. It's a soft tyranny to be sure, but it's getting more serious every day. We now have a president who has no respect for the Constitution, contracts, or the rule of law. He has publicly stated his preference for redistributing the fruits of your labor.

What would be the most appropriate way to describe Obama's approach? Obama calls it "ruthless pragmatism." Is ruthless pragmatism any kinder or gentler than tyranny?
