"The best form of government is a benign dictatorship with a very wise person in charge. A Constitutional Republic like ours in the USA is second best."
Have you ever lived in one? I have (in a not so benign, after all) How do you ensure that the dictator and his successors stay "benign", "wise" etc? Its sad to see American conservative thought arrive at such a state. Mainly out of fear, I suspect. Be careful what you wish for.

Throughout history, the people have always wanted a king, a good king. I believe most Americans wanted George to become the American king for life.

A good king would be much better then a system that allowed ill informed idiots to elect a parasite named Barack hussein.

Did I mention that the benevolent dictatorship would have you as President and me as VP?
