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

Then you're an idiot.

I’ve formed my own opinion on what this country needs as a leader and no amount of howling at the wind by political pundits is gonna change it.

"Then you're an idiot."

"Lucius (Titus) Quinctius Cincinnatus. (b. c.519 BC) In 458 BCE (according to tradition), Cincinnatus, who had been consul in 460 BCE, was plowing his fields when messengers arrived to tell him he had been named dictator to defend the city against the Aequi and the Volscians.

Lots more where the above comes from. Sometimes you really do need a dictator, you just need to be really careful who you make dictator.

Dictators? Why have a revolution? If we elect dictators, left or right, we should just say we’re sorry and give it all back to England. The president should have powers over the executive branch only, and have the checks and balances of the other two branches.period.Just because these other two branches have shirked their duty lately is no reason to give the executive branch more power than the constitution allows now.Shouldn’t have happened with Obama and it should not be allowed to repeat. We are constitutional conservatives on FR, right?

And you are deluded. Congress will never undo what the resident has done because they mostly agree with him and that includes the so called conservatives like Ryan. If Trump or Cruz is elected I predict that Congress will rediscover the lost powers that they say they don't have.
