"German was a totalitarian dictatorship devoid of law except those dictated by the Fuhrer. We are a representative republic, with laws written by for and of the people."

Are you drawing a comparison between the dictatorial edicts issued in a totalitarian state with the Executive Orders that are issued by a President of the United States. Is that what you seem to be arguing, in your surprisingly brief and esoteric re-posting of my words?

You have a keyboard, use it.

You have a brain (I assume)

Use it!

Pardon, I was being laconic. Obama announced his intent to rule by executive fiat yesterday, and you mention how Hitler ruled by executive fiat.

I thought the comparison was obvious to the casual observer.
