Broun warns of dictatorship

9/03/09 • On Line Athens

U.S. Rep. Paul Broun is again raising the specter of Democrats turning the United States into a totalitarian state. Broun, R-Athens, apparently has not changed his belief that President Obama may be a fascist since he made similar remarks in Augusta in November and then in an Associated Press interview. He told a meeting of the Morgan County Republicans on Wednesday night that Obama already has or will have the three things he needs to make himself a dictator: a national police force, gun control and control over the press. "He has the three things that are necessary to establish an authoritarian government," Broun said. "And so we need to be ever-vigilant, because freedom is precious."

Exactly. Don't be fooled by the rhetoric.

Broun is just ANOTHER pub that voted for FISA and would be just giddy about Republican totalitarianism....

Oh, like there is a lick of difference between Obama and Bush. Obama has advanced the Bush policies and Bush dctine times two. You Repubicans should be singing Obama's praises, and I have no doubt you would if the talking heads you listened to started chirping his praises.
