I warned people in email and conversations starting in 1999 that this bunch would stop at nothing and had a totalitarian agenda all planned for the country. Stolen elections was one of the things I warned people about then. Reichstag fire type excuses for suspending civil liberties was another. War in the Middle East, and one party rule were also visible on the horizon back then.

When I see someone throw eggs and flour into a bowl and start mixing furiously while the oven warms, I am never surprised to see a cake appear later in the day. I would not, for example, expect to see a live chicken result from this. Nor would I suspend trust in my own observations and common sense if Chris Matthews told me that it was not possible for a cake to appear.
We are obliged at this time to struggle, with all the Powers with which the Constitution hath furnished us, in Defence of our Rights; to prevent the most valuable of our Liberties from being wrested from us, by the subtle Machinations, and daring Encroachments of wicked Ministers. - Sam Adams 1771
