None Dare Call It Dictatorship

...Unless they don't mind looking like a tinfoil-hatted, hyperbolic Chicken Little.

Josef Stalin = Dictator
George W. Bush = President of a consitutional republic

Actually, it's a representative republic. But other than that, I concur.

Tell me, how is two thirds of the Federal Budget constitutional?

When was the last time a state stuck its thumb in the eye of the Fedgov under the protection of the Tenth Amendment?

Our "republic" states that Congress declares war and then the Administration goes about the business of waging war. When did Congress declare war on Al-Quida? They generated some feel-good "support," but no declaration.

We poll, we poll, and we poll...

The Patriot Act is a good law because:
A) It is constitutionally mandated
B) It serves the purpose of limited government
C) Its sponsors enjoy an 80%+ approval rating

Food for thought...
