Patsfan, I never said that Obama was going to confiscate anything. But I did say that he could.
It's been done before in this country. And it was just done in Cyprus.
There is healthy paranoia and there is irrational paranoia. When there is a debt that Obama only shows a propensity to increase as it's effects are drowning many of us, when there is a clear pattern of redistribution in the policies and programs of said President, and when there is precedent as pointed out above, prudence says to connect the dots and proceed with caution. That's my stance. If you don't feel the need to watch the red flags wave in the storm, that's your priviledge.
