If Obama and democrats had their way the American people would fear them.
How to control people:
Spying: The more they know about the people they want to control the easier they are to control
Healthcare: The more control they have over peoples healthcare the easier they are to control.
Taxation: Hit enemies in the pocket, defunding them where they can't afford to fight back (ask IRS targets, ask any divorced man)
Media: Owning media corporations, they can demonize anyone who speaks out against them.
1. Be likeable.
2. Find the Achilles heel.
3. Understand that people are lazy.
4. Be deceptive.
5. keep them ignorant. Educated people are not as easy to manipulate.
6. Economically independent person are hard to control, pass laws and raise taxes to hurt them.
Nope. I'm not afraid of my government. But then, I've been in countries where I feared their government, and I'm not a paranoid. There is a huge difference between paranoia and fear.

Same here. If I was in Cuba, I would fear their government. People in my German side of the family feared their government (which was Communist). The right-wing blowhards on here are just paranoid kooks, getting off on the possibility of the South Rising Again. It won't, but whatever

Arrogance is the first step of the fall. Everyone knows that people in power are power hungry and selfish. Why anyone believes they are to be trusted with too much power is naivety at its height.
Nah, I stand by what I wrote about libertarians for all practical purposes being conservatives.
Rand Paul is probably the most well known libertarian associated politician which party he is in?
Rand Paul isn't a libertarian, so what's your point?
You can't point to a single libertarian politician on the national level, because they don't exist. The Libertarian Party holds a few seats in local or maybe even state offices; nothing more.

Those people thought just like you.
ps, your language is offensive, it shows your class i.e. lack of.
Please libertarians don't fear our government. Libertarians and conservatives are nearly identical in practicality.
conservatives and libertarians use hyperbolic language about freedom to discuss spending or taxes they don't like.
When it comes to the real things that governments do to snatch freedom, liberals are by far more leery of the government.
All the ways governments use power to really oppress people, conservatives and libertarians tend to love. While moderates who make up the majority of the Democratic party tend to support those displays of government power in times of crisis.
Conservative only seem paranoid when it comes to guns now days, ever encountered a libertarian? esp the college aged ones? they are scared of EVERYTHING.... which is understandable, the current administration is probably one hundred percent opposite of what they believe in.
No, I do not fear the government. However, there are times that I wonder if the government can be completely trusted.
I think you might be underselling it a bit.
