56% of Americans Think Federal Government Poses a Threat to the Rights of Americans. Where's the Shock?

...that according to a new CNN poll (link below). Drudge describes this poll result as a "shock." But why? It's no shock. Not when you have people like Obama's "diversity czar" Mark Lloyd (who has previously expressed admiration for the way Hugo Chavez has controlled the Venezuelan media) running around the FCC. Not when you have a White House that encourages the public to report any person who has a "fishy" opinion concerning health care reform. Not when you have a ruling party that seems dead-set on ramming through massive health care legislation through procedural gimmicks despite the legislation being overwelmingly unpopular with the American people. And of course, I could go on and on, but I'll spare you. Suffice it to say, I haven't been calling these Scary Days for nothing the last several months.
