Freedom in Peril

What would America become under President Obama with a rubberstamp Democratic Congress? In short order, the Fairness Doctrine will be reimposed to silence talk radio-the voice of the people and the balance against the mainstream media (both television and print which are demonstrably in the thrall of the left). Soon thereafter, America will be made to resemble a college campus with national hate speech codes to ensure civility and by the way, abrogate the First Amendment. Even the pulpit will be subject to censorship with gospels deemed offensive to homosexuals or Muslims banned (this is not far-fetched-pastors in Australia, Canada, and Sweden have already been charged according to The Seven Hundred Club). Home school will soon be a distant memory with students forced to attend government instruments of indoctrination. If parochial education survives, the circulum will have to comport to that of the government schools. Right to work will end with open balloting subject to intimidation. Unions will assert this new found power to end free trade. The Second Amendment will go the way of the First with such onorous regulation as to make protecting one's self, family, and property impossible. Even the possession of ammunition will be curtailed. Private property rights already diminished with Kelo v. New London will erode so much further as to be meaningless. Sentencing reform and generous parole, pardon, and amnesty will release thousands of thugs to the streets (Obama and his ilk have long militated to reduce the terms of those incarcerated for crack arguing that they face harsher sentences than those primarily white detained for possession of powder cocaine). Criminal aliens will be welcomed as part of the amnesty that will accompany open borders. Inevitably some of those entering will be Jihadi terrorists. Felons and foreigners will gain sufferage rights overwhelming the franchise of today's legitamate voters ensuring that Obama's supporters will monopolize power. Four more years could become President for life as Obama will be able to pack the courts and manipulate the Constitution to his will. Rule by caprice and decree will be enforced against a servile disarmed public with felons and Latin Americans assuming the roles of police and an army and looting anywhere any prosperity remains under Obama's socialist economy. Central planning will decide where you will work, where you can travel, and even what days you are permitted to drive. Rationing will be the norm. God help America.
