Your derangement is hanging out again.

Once again, you are confusing tyranny with not getting your way.

Bless your heart. You're so lost.

Tyranny is a cover up of what happened in Libya, and why.

Tyranny is secretly securing reporter's phone records. .

Tyranny is targeting your political rivals with the IRS.

It's clear, you're the confused one.

This has zero to do w/ ' not getting my way', or because Obama is black.

Seriously, shove those red herrings up your arse.

Oh, and btw... which of the two quotes listed in the OP do you agree most?

Do I even need to wait for an answer?

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

And nothing has happened in American history between Thomas Paine, who was not a part of the government of the United States, and Harry Reid?

Oh, our govt has interned US citizens of Japanese ancestry.

Done experiments on 'Negros' in Tuskegee.

Lots of stuff has happened...what in particular do you have in mind ?

And what does it matter that Thomas Paine wasn't " a part of the govt " have to do with anything ?

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Was it tyranny when the Bush admin targeted the NAACP with the IRS?

Was it tyranny when the Bush admin intercepted virtually ALL electronic communications in the nation?

Why wouldn't you speak out about it when it happened then?

Was it tyranny when we were lied to and misled into a war of the administration's own choosing?

Where was your outrage then? Thousands of American soldiers died, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, all for nothing; where is your outrage?

Oh. You decided to aim it at the black guy, because it "bugs" you that he's black.

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

Want to try that "sentence" again, in English this time? You're making even less sense than usual (and that's saying something!)

Thousands of German-American citizens and Italian-American citizens were also interned by FDR and his FBI at dozens of camps all over the country, the biggest one being Crystal City, Texas. It's interesting that the Japanese and the Italians were released almost immediately when the war ended. The Germans, however, were sent to Ellis Island and held there for another three years before they were released.

Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus during the Civil War, and he imprisoned US citizens without any charges or trials. He also ordered battle-weary Union troops at Gettysburg to march all the way to New York City to put down an insurrection that sprang up that became known as the Draft Riots. Federal troops fired upon and killed hundreds of citizens.
