Somewhat, but you have to actually show an abuse. You can't just scream a tyranny and expect to be taken seriously.
Do you think the federal government is corrupt?
Granted, I assume that you don't think that any LIBERAL politician is corrupt, and handing $600 million to campaign friends is perfectly reasonable to build a broken website, and exempting companies from the ACA but not individuals makes perfect sense, and you feel deep down that the Citizens United Case is really about Republican corruption and that the fact that the majority of big business donated to Democrats while being exempted from ACA is just clearly a sign that the big evil 1% have had a change of heart. In other words, I assume that the only real measure you will use for what is and isn't corrupt is the existence of an R or a D next to the name.. but if there is an R there can you agree that such actions would be corruption?
I operate on the motto "If you can't trust a power to a political rival don't wish it for your political ally". The wheel of government has ways of turning no matter how much anyone wants it to stop. Whether it is Republicans or some other party the Democrats will not go unopposed, and at some point all these powers that Obama has taken for himself, to refuse to enforce laws, to grant exemptions to friends to laws on the books, to ignore congress, to tell congress when it is and isn't in session, to compel all Americans to buy a commodity -- all of this -- will one day be placed in the hands of a politician that scares the sh*t out of you.
