Imagine if America was a dictatorship.

Posted on 11/29/2012 7:21:26 AM PST by Lazamataz

Why are you guys so anti-dictatorship?

Imagine if America was a dictatorship.

You could get things done by bypassing various Houses of Congress at your will.
You could help your rich friends by bailing them out when they gamble and lose.
You could impose substandard health care on the masses, while you and your cronies continued to receive the best.
The media would claim to free but would actually be controlled by, and be the mouthpiece for only one political party.
You could wire-tap phones without warrants.
You could monitor internet usage at-will.
You could declare your own citizens 'foreign combatants', and torture foreign prisoners.
You could have rigged elections and not one media entity would object.
You could lie about why you continued a war.
You could ignore and lie about, then sweep under the rug any embarassing international incidents.
You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests.
If your 'Constitution' forbade certain actions, you could use the UN to implement them anyways.

Good morning.

Just imagine.

It's good to be king.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed fat man is king.

My imagination is working overtime - when do we get our turn in the dictator seat? I’m thinking maybe I could hit it and not pay any consequences...

Now now, lets look on the bright side...

Illegal immigrants will no longer flock here for a chance at a better life! Matter of fact, immigration of any kind will grind to a halt.
