Not to say that conservatives always play nice and follow the Constitution. Maybe in the future, they won't. If they follow President Obama's precedent, what edict should they issue? I have my preference, but I will save it for later in the thread.

"The problem with Scotland is it's filled with Scots."-King Edward.

So we will just breed them out. Obama's policies are the equivalent. He's just breaking America with Cloward-Piven at all levels of society.

A conservative dictator is an oxymoron.

A true conservative would be like our Founding Fathers.

Our Founders were primarily concerned with the inherent dignity of the individual human soul and the importance of the Sacred Trust.

The term "We the People" addresses everything that is opposite a tyrant.

Therefore, the closer today's conservatives are to the actions of our Founders, the further away they are from being a tyrant.

The most important thing would be for said Conservative Dictator would be to issue a Executive Order Nullifying all previous said orders going back to 1970. That should about undue most of the damage.

a dictator has to pretty much:

1. disarm the sheeple
2. disrupt then destroy “civil society” (any organized groupings of people other than those controlled by the state -— include here churches, synagogues ... and civic organizations). Substitute state-controlled ones instead
3. seize control over means of communication (spy on telephone, internet, radio communications in particular)
4. then set up spy systems throughout the larger society (such as directing every federal agency and bureau to start doing lots and lots of “undercover” work directly against American citizens in the 57 states)
5. then instruct the children to spy on their parents
....
oh yes,
6. seize the “excess wealth” in society...after all, they didn’t earn it anyway.

What’s the purpose of a dictatorship other than to (enslave and then) sheer the sheeple? Grab that wealth and hide it in Swizz banks or on some offshore atoll somewhere.
Leave the people all impoverished so they will be even more dependent on the state.
That way, they will (so the thinking goes) be less likely to revolt.

And continue to feed then tons and tons of entertainment as diversions, 24/7/365.

Of course, nothing like that could ever happen in USA!
eh?

No such thing as a conservative dictator. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I personally would rescind EVERY executive order signed by all my predecessors right back to 1870.

That would be a good place to start. Then I’d ask both houses of Congress to go through every law on the books and either re-authorize the law or invalidate it. That would keep them busy for a while.

Any alphabet agency not expressly authorized by a continuing law or the Constitution would be disbanded within two years.

That’s where one starts...

Get the State Department to list the Democrat Party as a terrorist organization. Have all Democrat leaders nationwide arrested and imprisoned under the Patriot Act. Then call for a Constitutional Convention once they’re out of the way.

An easy question. You invite Amaia Salamanca to dinner and ask her to become your new Secretary of State. Knowing, of course, that she will decline.

"what action should a conservative dictator take when he or she comes into power?"

A conservative dictator should destroy the constitutionally indefensible federal powers now being exercised by the corrupt federal government. Destroying such powers will hopefully destroy any incentive for the next politician, either conservative RINO or liberal, to try to win the Oval Office for the purpose of exploiting those powers.

Note that a conservative dictator would probably have to unofficially work with the states to get citizens up to speed on the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers in order to destroy unconstitutional federal powers, powers which the states have never expressly delegated to the feds via the Constitution.

Once such powers are destroyed, the Oval Office could possibly become a way to honor a respected retired military leader who, like General George Washington, is still willing to serve the country.

Dictators = Totalitarians = Leftist/(D)himmi/Progtard wet dreams.

That ain't the way we roll, yo.

In the US: Conservative = original intent Constitutionalist.

But you already knew that . . .

The basis of what has come to be called "conservatism" was, in its day, nothing of the sort, and so we have to wonder what values and practices we intend to return to before we confer the label "conservative". And if it turns out that the actions we must take to effect this are contrary to the values we are trying to return to, then we haven't actually accomplished anything substantive.

The Constitution is a document written by formally named representatives of the people, reviewed in public by other elected representatives, and acceded to by the member states by a majority vote within each. However high-handed that may have seemed at the time (and George Mason certainly thought so) it was not at any point dictatorial. Were we to attempt to dictate our way back to that we would find we'd destroyed it in the process.

That does not mean that a governmental machine created by executive order may not be demolished by it. But even if we had a dictator with perfect wisdom the people would still be in the position of sitting back and saying "Do right, O Wise One" instead of making up government for themselves. I'm not suggesting you can't get there from here, I'm suggesting you can't get there by taking a road that leads elsewhere.

Adopt the original Constitution, ban slavery, and abdicate. The Constitution would have to have add-on’s to handle obvious evil interpretations that have been imposed on it by the Court. Sort of an “I really mean it section.” I can think of a lot of places for I really mean it. But you get the general idea.

A dictator would not be a conservative if they reigned as a dictator. He would be a progressive who finally got the power he has lusted for.

I think the only thing that works and is fair is to find a way to keep liberals from getting their primary paycheck off of the government. In other words, the liberal machine pays its workers for tooling at liberalism. So the big thing is to defund and push decision making down down down and take away mandates. By taking away federal mandates (in education, the environment, transportation etc) and pushing decisions down to the state and local level the liberal machine will be eroded.
