Sinfix, study up on basic US government structure. What you are suggesting is not even in the realm of possibility currently.
The only way that the US could currently end up in a dictatorship would be through a miliray coup, and we are not even close to that possibility now.

Thinking it's impossible is one of the things that makes it possible. Americans hear in the news "it's legal to be assassinated by a drone on american soil without receiving a trial" and they think "i wonder what the kardashians are up to today".

No fallen superpower from history ever saw their demise coming, otherwise they would have prevented it. Christianity was the fall of Rome. Ideas can be more dangerous than bullets and bombs. Entitlement society is infecting the US and growing by the day.

You are making your statements with no basis in facts though, which is as blank said - paranoia.

Anything is technically possible; however, probability show that the likelihood is so small it can reasonably be ignored at this time.

How would i validate a prediction? Using any example from world history, what factual evidence predicted the demise of any dynasty? excluding those who were conquered by military force.

Everything i'm "paranoid" about with Obama is currently happening. I predict it getting worse. How is it possible for that prediction to be proven? If it's so wrong..... why do so many people share the paranoia?

It is legal to be assassinated by your government without a trial. This can happen today. A drone could be entering my neighborhood right now to assassinate me as we speak. Technically....... by the letter of the law, this can happen.

while i do not really think this can or will realistically happen, i recognize that it overrides our trial system. Technically...... you can be "judged" without a trial, by your government, today... right now.... Feb 9th 2013.

That's just one of many examples of this government over stepping and power reaching.
