Would I be right in "hearing" in this post that, if things continue in the direction they are currently going, the US government will become increasingly despotic, begin to enter homes, interrogate, intimidate, seize possessions, weaponry, etc?

Yup, maybe not all at once.

First will come weapons and entering homes imo.

the one thing that may save us, is that most people involved in things such as the DEA, FBI, CIA, and military are usually very conservative. Even moreso than myself.

I think the govt will find it hard pressed if they really start over reaching their bounds, to get these factions to do their bidding.

Which is why I don't Obama to start that National Security Force. I'm not saying he will use it for such a manner, hwoever, someone in the future could use it as an outside resource to impose their will on the people if other govt factions refuse to do so.
