We all know what Republicans think about President Obama. To them, he's an evil socialist Nazi tyrant bent on shredding the Constitution, eliminating freedom, and imposing a dictatorship.

So when it comes to putting sensible limitations on the power of the executive branch that Obama heads up, Republicans are all for it, right?

Well, maybe not.

The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill last October that would extend key provisions of the Patriot Act but add new restrictions on FBI demands for records from U.S. businesses and impose new reporting requirements. Republicans have objected to placing any new restrictions on the executive counter-terrorism powers and have blocked the Judiciary Committee’s version of the bill.

Why do Republicans hate freedom?
