There are no longer any restraints on government power, now that they may force us to engage in commerce against our wills (health care insurance).

Next up, they'll demand that we eat according to their government sponsored diets, as that is related to health care. Then they'll come for our smokes and booze, as both are not good for our health.

I'm left wondering at which point will the people rise up and cast out our ruling class?

A Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

Maybe when they start killing us while we sleep.

I don't know if a drone strike on a U.S. citizen in the U.S. would actually cause an uprising.

Look at all the lies that were told over Ruby Ridge. They were believed and there was no insurrection.

What if drones had been around for Ted Kaczynski. Would anyone have said anything?

How about Richard Jewell? Because the media drove the story -- the President could have said he needed to take him out because that is what everyone thinks he is guilty.

That is not acceptable.

Oh, come on. It's not like the government just throws people into a jail cell without a trial and leaves them there or anything.

Okay, maybe they don't throw EVERYONE into a jail cell and leave them there.

Yet.

I hope you enjoy your trip Gitmo for your rejection of pure political thought.
