Obama wins battle for oppressing rights

It's not easy to get a country founded on freedom and liberty to begin jettisoning those two ideals.  It takes a particularly useless generation to buy into it overnight.  Not to gradually evolve through a series of generations or even centuries, where things once shunned are accepted.  No, I'm saying getting people who only weeks earlier said 'the government has no right to keep people from enjoying their rights, no matter what the majority thinks!', to say 'I don't care if the government steps on someone's rights, the majority says it doesn't matter, so who cares?'  Read the poll.  The fact that the poll is supposed to mean something at all should be the news story.
