Ron Paul: Obama Presidency On The Verge Of Being A "Dictatorship"

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) says President Obama's continued use of the executive order "brings the modern presidency dangerously close to an elective dictatorship."

"That is arrogant," Paul said of Obama frequently using the executive order function as of late. "It is flaunting the Constitution and the whole principle of how we’re supposed to operate. The idea they can just do this and take over the legislative function and brag about it -- and Congress does nothing and the courts do nothing about it, it's very, very bad."

"He's dictatorial, is what he is," Rep. Paul said before the end of the interview.

I wish he would go make a citizens arrest of maobama and send him to GITMO for F&F

If Ru did that, I’d be his #1 fan.

Even a squirrel like Ron Paul stumbles upon an acorn of truth now and then.

If it’s good enough for Hugo, why not Obama?

Paul is right on a lot of things. Foreign policy he is out there, I agree - but on domestic issues he is spot on.

Our foreign policy for the since Viet Nam has been an absolute destructive disgrace, not to mention it's all but destroyed our economy, and forced the tax payers to their knees, all while being forced to prop up and pay off many countries to the tune of multiple trillions.

The results of this out of control foreign policy have looted the American treasure as the tax payers repeatedly are economically gang raped.

Obama is worse than Hugo

The thought of more soldiers dying for those ungrateful barbarians and savages is beyond infuriating.

I don’t vote for people who have Stormfront raise money for them. I don’t vote for people who are endorsed by Code Pinko. I don’t vote for people who calls OWS “victims”.

I don't disagree with Paul's sentiments or beliefs in this paragraph, but I really don't want to vote for someone who confuses "flaunt" and "flout".

[Paul Ross]

Agreed.

The Congress needs to stand up, eliminate all the 'baseline' budget authorizations that Obama relies on, and start impeaching the judges who do not enforce the constitutiion, but instead see it as a "living document" and keep blowing up the commerce clause to override everything else in it.

And they also need to be defunding every czar, and impeach Holder and Napolitano, and all the political subordinates. Of course that requires that Nevadans immediately remove Harry Reid. Why aren't they doing ANYTHING in Nevada? They have the right to do so.

Why are you obsessed with Ron Paul?

He has zero chance of winning the nomination.

[GlockThe Vote]

Ron Paul is the voice we need on domestic issues and monetary policy.

[Absolutely Nobama]

I intend to keep it that way.

[Antoninus]

Though I won’t vote for Ron Paul in the primary, I could vote for him in the general election without any trouble. Statements like this are why.

[jd777]

I think Israel can handle Iran herself. No?

[Absolutely Nobama]

Probably.

However, they are our ally. The United States does not stab alies in the back.

Paul is absolutely correct about this one (though he's a nut.) Time for an “Occupy Washington” movement. Most elected leaders prefer to wait for the next election to correct the problem, but somebody needs to stop these flagrantly illegal maneuvers immediately.

It's 360 days till Obama gets fired. What will he do when he's a lame duck?
