    So they want to train people to watch for this behavior? Doesn't that mean they're also tipping everyone off that might be caught on what not to do? Making it easier to not be caught? Nice a net to catch the idiots and a rule book for the smart ones.

    Obama had nothing to do with that. Gay marriage? He did nothing but blow off the gay community for the first 4 years. He then started playing up to them last spring because he wanted their votes again. Marijuana ? You gotta be kidding me.

    Look I know you wanted him to be a great president, hell I did too! But you guys supporting him are KILLING us. The guy is a liar and hes no friend to liberals either! hes a rightwinger!

    I don't know if you're aware of this, but Gay Marriage passed by very slim margins in Washington State, for example. The fact that he came out in support of it was hugely beneficial to the cause; not to mention his refusal to enforce DOMA even before the Supreme Court got rid of it.

    I'm not talking about his actions, though. I'm talking about the state of the nation; which has actually been improving overall.

    America's politics are quite right wing, yes.

    I don't regard myself as a "liberal".

    Obama’s dismal civil liberties record
    Despite vows to increase transparency, the president has made the government ever more authoritarian and intrusive

    "Lying murdering dictator"....Yeah, right. You're clearly a little unhinged if you think the US is anywhere near a dictatorship.

    He already called him a fascist dictator. Seems like more than enough hyperbole there.

    Are you American?

    You are very young if you do not realize how far the USA has shifted towards a Police State. Id argue we are a Police State now in fact. Freedom is an illusion in the USA.

    I'm not American, but I do have citizenship and live here. And no, I'm not "very young" either; more than that, I teach history.

    The US is not anything resembling a police state, period.

    I think there are a few vets in my family that would like to disagree with you.

    Then you should know better. History always repeats itself.

    seeing as how I have done nothing but lay out facts and input from respected DEMOCRATS that contradict nothing but opinion from yourself, we will have to disagree. I suggest you take off the partisan goggles and step away from the coolaid.
