This is already well underway and began in earnest during the campaign. Obama is doing it himself, but discreetly in his speeches. The true threat is in his "henchmen" and supporters. If one speaks out against the President, and/or his policies, they are attacked personally, along with their family, friends, and employers.
No better or more recent example than Lou Dobbs on CNN. He raised the question of Obama's birth certificate. It was a relevant question, as someone in the military had sued in court over Obama's legitimacy as president, and his authority to deploy troops overseas. The question of the birth certificate had already been resolved, however, many don't know, or still have concerns, such as this serviceman
Within a day, Obama supporters were calling on CNN to fire Lou Dobbs. This type of censorship is cloaked within Free Speech and thus cannot be directly linked to the source. My feelings are that it will get worse before it gets better.
What I cannot grasp, try as I may, is what "force" has promoted, sustained, and instilled such vampant ideology within our Country. The ability to work together and compromise has been replaced "our Way or the Highway" mentality, on all fronts, at varying levels. It's trickled down to even the neigborhood level. I've had friends and neighbors spout politcal vitreous at me to my utter astonishment.
If we could only identify this "force" and it's source to neutralize it, maybe then we could work together. Until then, I don't foresee anything truly positive happening for a while.
