You people either
are kids, or childish adults.
If you do not know

history, you must
re-live it. Try re-reading
famous history.

Hitler didn't start
as an oppressive monster.
His selling point was

he would cut through laws
and bureaucracy to do
what people wanted.

Can't you see what you
are calling Jeb Bush to be?
You want a Fuhrer!

---------------------------------------------------------

The Führer-Reich of the [German] people is founded on the recognition that the true will of the people cannot be disclosed through parliamentary votes and plebiscites but that the will of the people in its pure and uncorrupted form can only be expressed through the Führer. Thus a distinction must be drawn between the supposed will of the people in a parliamentary democracy, which merely reflects the conflict of the various social interests, and the true will of the people in the Führer-state, in which the collective will of the real political unit is manifested…

The Führer is the bearer of the people's will; he is independent of all groups, associations, and interests, but he is bound by laws which are inherent in the nature of his people. In this twofold condition: independence of all factional [dividing] interests, but unconditional dependence on the people, is reflected the true nature of the Führer principle. The Führer is no representative' of a particular group whose wishes he must carry out ... He is rather himself the bearer of the collective will of the people. In his will the will of the people is realized. He transforms the mere feelings of the people into a conscious will Thus it is possible for him, in the name of the true will of the people which he serves, to go against the subjective [biased] opinions and convictions [beliefs] of single individuals within the people if these are not in accord with the wishes of the people.

Ah yes, the classic "If you don't have reason on your side, then call names."

Asking a leader to do the right thing in a specific case is obviously NOT equal to inviting a leader to assume dictatorial power.

By the way, where in the law (and where in the Constitution) does it says that either a private individual or a county judge is allowed to deliberately starve and dehydrate a disabled person to death? Or did you not know that there is a complete prohibition on giving Terri anything to eat or drink, even by mouth?

By the way, where in the law (and in the Constitution) does it say that a county judge is free to completely disregard federal laws duly passed by Congress and simply do as he damn well pleases?

By the way, did you not know that our soldiers have a sworn duty to disobey an illegal order?

Frankly, it's YOU who remind me of the Reich. "I was only obeying orders."
