Daily Kos: Conservatives don't really care about 'tyranny'

http://m.dailykos.com/story/2014/08/14/1321553/-Conservatives-really-don-t-care-about-tyranny

Conservatives love to scream about "tyranny" and "jack-booted thugs" and whatnot. But if last night taught us anything, it's that they really don't mean that. The IRS scrutinizing politicized Tea Party groups before approving their non-profit applications? Why, that's the Death of Freedom. Protesters getting their Constitutional First Amendment rights violated in plain sight by actual real-world jack-booted thugs?

(snip)


So it's clear–here we have a real world example of people's freedoms being overtly violated by the government, and they can't be bothered to get worked up about it. Proof, as if we needed more of it, that for conservatives, it's all about Black Guy Obama Derangement Syndrome, and not about any real concerns about tyranny.

That Obama is in the WH has only made them worse, not created the underlying Total Paranoia.
