Tyranny and Irony

Remember how the right wing was screaming tyranny at the election of Barack Obama and at the passage of an economic stimulus package? Remember how Michelle Bachmann thinks answering the census is tyranny? Given that the events in Iran and Honduras over the last few weeks have shown us real world examples of tyranny, will these right wingers cease their empty rhetoric (simply because it has been proven to be empty in comparision) or will they continue (because spouting empty rhetoric has never stopped them before)?

You just know it will be the latter. They cried tyranny after the Cap and Trade bill was passed, and they will again after health care is passed. For the petulant uneducated spoiled children that currently comprise the Republican Party and the right wing of this country, tyranny is not being defeated in a landslide election and then watching your victorious opponent implement his agenda. Tyranny is not voicing your opposition to this popular agenda and this popular President in public spaces throughout the country with no fear of governmental reprisal. Instead, it is irony.
