I wanted to post this to show the reason we have a 2nd amendment. One of the greatest dangers in histories is a dis-armed people ruled by an unchecked armed government. The body counts speak for themselves.

Thanks for posting.
There is no doubt in my mind that without our Second Amendment, Obama would certainly have already been put on that list.

Totalitarians, by definition, are leftists embracing a Central Planning governing model.
Citizens who can defend themselves would be an obstacle.

Neither Pinochet nor Franco belong on that list. Julius Caesar should probably be on it.

I met Ida Amin in the early 80’s....He was a charming guy...spent about 2 hours with him one-on-one.....
Of course, I knew he was a ruthless killer and a horrible human being but in a non-threatening environment, he was a very charismatic person.....

Agree with the general theme; however, I do believe Augusto Pinochet got a bad rap because communists had to divert attention from the economic miracle he created by following the advice he got from Milton Friedman.

Pinochet and Franco were heroes who saved their countries.

Pinochet! WTF???
He was mild compared to all the rest.
The Left hated him because he stopped a communist takeover dead in its tracks.
Note we don’t see any Castro, Guevara or any of the NORK Kims... No Saddam, Ayatollah or Qaddafi.

Well this is the liberal media, they snuck them in to keep it from being a list of 100% Monarchist, Communist, and Socialists.
Saddam Husein and Kim Jong Mentally Ill would have fit the list better.

My wife and I also spent time with Deng Xiaoping and his wife...he was the butcher of Tiananmen Square......This happened after I met him.....
Very polite and warm......

I agree, Pinochet and Franco shouldn’t be on it.
I personally think that Augusto Pinochet especially was a really good President.

Franco also had enough sense to not to get involved in the war in Europe even though Hitler and Mussolini both tried to get him to come into the war on the Axis side.
He also refused to allow the Germans to bring in artillery to bombard Gibraltar.
He is well hated by the American Socialists. They often have to look to make sure he is still dead.
To: dfwgator
So did Vlad III in Romania. He’s a hero there. Kept the hordes (Muslims) at bay by impaling them and hanging them at the borders and walls.
