Admit It: You Just Want Your Own Dictator [And He's Trump]

Whoa cowboy your paid consultant face is showing.

I didn’t expect quite that many Freepers calling for a dictator, but these are strange days.

I don't think they are calling for a dictator as much as recognizing that a dictator is likely the only way to undo what this one has done.

[itsahoot]

Go ahead and waste your vote on this loud mouth, self promoting yankee.

Thank you, I believe I will. Kbar points out that Cruz has always worked in some form or another for the government and you quote his law degree requires him to, classic circular logic.

"I don't think they are calling for a dictator as much as recognizing that a dictator is likely the only way to undo what this one has done."

LOL, oh well, then, my mistake---that's not calling for one at all./S

I'm a conservative, and I will never give one damn bit of credence to progressives who want to tear up the Constitution and install dictators.

The constitution, that you think was not torn up years ago, will not save the Republic any more than a restraining order will protect the life of an abused wife.

"The constitution, that you think was not torn up years ago, will not save the Republic any more than a restraining order will protect the life of an abused wife."

Then you've become a progressive who embraces tyranny.

Good luck with that. You're right in there with the rest of the fools who said, "It'll be different this time", despite the teachings of history.

This is a Constitutional republic and we scorn your type.

If it takes a dictator to save this country from what Obama the dictator has done, then I’m all for it.

Several months ago I saw a call for a military coup in America. It was in these FR forums. There was support for that idea. Just a few years ago there would have been cries of “Treason.”

And today we are so bad off there are calls for an American Ceasar. To hell with the people. To hell with our Constitution.

I understand frustration with Obama. I dislike him as much as anyone else.

But words have meanings, and there are words being tossed around on these forums that are dangerous.

In case you haven’t noticed, I already live in a dictatorship and you do, too.

What is truly sad is that you believe that your dictator, which you declare and support, will be any different than any other dictator ever... Something like, "He may be a dictator, but he's our dictator, dammit."

If conservatives of any stripe actually believe this, then the lawlessness of liberalism has truly infected the very marrow of our nation, and we are doomed, and rightfully so... shamefully so.

We are a nation of laws, not people.

“I lose either way because I’m a conservative and Trump is not.”

Just because you say so... I’m not convinced you are a Conservative or that Trump is not.

Precisely right. Imagine Conservatives willing to tear up the Constitution, who applaud going beyond it's constraints... You can't. They can't. Those who would do so cannot be Conservatives.

[kabar]

This mess was created by people like Trump and his wealthy and powerful cohorts buying elected leaders and judges for pennies on the dollar to carry out their global socialist agenda.

No blame for the politicians who will gladly do their bidding for a price? Why blame the Johns instead of the prostitutes?

Trump has never been anything but a crooked politician, buying crooked elected politicians and their crooked appointees.

Trump is not a politician. He is a private citizen.

I would not have believed you if you said last year that we would be seeing calls for a dictator on this site.

[Bulwyf]

Well said. A dictator is not wanted. A Constitution respecting, small government conservative is what is needed.

If anyone tried different now and you need to resist, you won’t be alone.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." -Sam Adams

Participating in politics is politics.

Trump is a politician. Using government to advance your power and wealth is the very essence of politics.

What planet are you from?

[CatherineofAragon]

Powerful quote. Thank you.

[itsahoot]

Then you've become a progressive who embraces tyranny.

Big difference between embracing and acknowledging. There is no way to restore the Constitution by going through the Congress who has been busily destroying it. If you don't see that then so be it. Something has to be done to bust up the uniparty.

Truth sucks don't it. I took the Oath to defend the Constitution in 1955 and have been trying ever since to defend it but the scum politicians that take the same oath have been trying their best to destroy it. Stuff the B$ and wake up and smell the coffee and buy your own ammo.

[central_va]

I wish there was some way to dye Trump black so he can have the same carte blanche as O’Bastard enjoyed.

[kabar]

I speak English and understand the meanings of words. Trump's entry into the Presidential race has made him a politician, but contrary to your assertion, he was not a politician before that. He was a private citizen.

Politician: a person who is professionally involved in politics, especially as a holder of or a candidate for an elected office.
