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

But the president is not your savior. A person empowered to make everything great also has the power to make everything horrible. If a president alone can transform America, then something has gone terribly wrong with the system.

Thanks for posting that quote. My problem all along has been less with Trump than with the messianic horde that has sprung up from a pool of people I once mistook for conservatives. They are going to spread palm fronds before Trump's limo has he rolls into town.

Sadly you don’t get it.

Trump has led an extremely political life, buying off crooked officials by the gross.

Without his grimey politics he’d probably be a mail carrier in the Bronx.

What a load of trash.

Nah, but at this point, rather than where we are headed, I’ll take a Pinochet.

Our vets have to be taken care of.

We have to end Obamacare, and we have to make our country great again,

and I will do that."

Billionaires are bad
Billionaires donated to Cruz.
Cruz is bad.

Billionaires are bad.
Trump is a billioinaire.
Trump is good. He*s not like the others.

He and the other fawning believers are from Trumptopia. It's a planet that was formed when Paulanus exploded. Trumptopia sits on the outer edges of the universe and its inhabitants, like their king, believe that the universe revolves around them.

Now that's the kind of intellectual discussion that brings people to this site.

Do not try to twist my point.

The idiot foolishly tries to maintain that Trump is not a politician.

I believe he used sarcasm to help make your point.

Now that's the kind of intellectual discussion that brings people to this site.

You Trumpsters ain't got no sense of humor. Do you Trumpsters shotgun a big bottle of hateraid first thing every morning?

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

That is the point of the article.

Thanks for providing an example.

[Fundamentally Fair]

It will take a man with a powerful ego who loves this country and is grateful for all it's given him. If he has to bend the rules to get rid of those in power who got there by bending the rules then it's fine with me.

A few months ago, I was afraid that the Trump campaign would be the end of Freerepublic.

Now I fear that it will be the end of our Republic.

California stands a very good chance of going Republican for the first time since Reagan. LINK

Hello my friend...

I think some people just don’t understand what a dictator really is.

Hitler was a dictator. Stalin, Mao, Castro, Hugo Chavez... they were all dictators.

We don’t need anything remotely like that.

[Bulwyf]

No, nobody does. Some might of even of had good intentions, but absolute power corrupts.

Whatever happens, I hope the US gets sorted this coming year. I need somewhere to move to probably heh.

“To: DSH

You and the author are wrong. Trump actually believes in the Rule of Law and wants our laws enforced. For example, illegal aliens under the law should be deported. Sanctuary cities are prohibited by law, but the law is ignored. Obama issued two unconstitutional executive amnesties that Trump says he will rescind.
We have both parties in Congress willing to surrender their powers under the Constitution to the Executive Branch. The Iran deal and budget bills like the recent Omnibus bill fail to invoke Congressional authority and control. The Reps joined with the Dems to make this possible. So now NR is worried that Trump will become the new dictator ala Obama.

If Trump gets into the WH, I can assure you that Congress will make it far more difficult for him to achieve his agenda than it did for Obama. You can bet that the Dems will act like a real opposition party and you can also rely on the GOPe to throw roadblocks in Trump’s way.

The reality is that Trump will not have the same latitude and leeway to act unilaterally as Obama has. The NR will be part of the MSM cabal castigating Trump in the WH. No more fawning MSM, which will also act as a check on Trump or any Rep who gets to the WH.

Almost missed this posting. Thanks for the come back, DHS.

We are in a heap of trouble. America is in DANGER!

We must come together as conservatives and stand for our Constitution. It is imperative to America as we have know it, seek God and pray for our nation and God’s blessing to be on America, not allowing evil to prevail. God can do anything, we must know and have faith this is the truth of His WORD, in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Halleujah! Amen.
