The far left is eager to gain control of the government so they can criminalize those who disagree with them on policy matters. They oppose free speech and want to imprison those who disagree with them, just as assorted socialists and communists have done in other countries such as Russia, Cuba and China. So far the media have not dwelled on this phenomena though they have reported on plans of Congressman Dingle among others. Here is a report on what Obama's advisers are saying about their desires are in this regard.

The Democrats would have to have a filibuster proof majority to prosecute those they disagree with, and I think it is unlikely that they will get that this year, particularly since some of the "blue dog" Democrats probably wouldn't go along with the plan for persecution of political enemies. I would like to see more about the plans of these enemies of liberty. How would they neutralize the army, for example? What if Texas refused to hand over Bush for trial?
