He is not (yet) President of my "republic", and I invoke the constitutions of both my and your country which guarantee free speech even for a grumpy old sod like me.

As I said before, I was purposely polemicizing to hold the mirror up to those who have been for several days offending me with their endless Obamaphilic or -phobic discussions. It looks like everybody has forgotten the purpose of our being here on this list, and yes I find that outrageous, too.

Nor would I, that was the whole purpose of my polemic. I fully expect to be banned from the list for that reason, which would only prove that those peddling US politics here and elsewhere redefine democracy and freedom as they see fit (including being offended at my frankly using semantically correct words of their own language).

You may "have seen it before", but I am seeing it now, and I am both scared and worried about it.
