Dictatorship is America's only hope

America is eminently governable...if you reduce federal government power to 1925 levels.

 

So the solution to the government not listening to the people is to replace them with one guy who you don't even get to pick? And you think that this person that we cannot pick ourselves is not only not going to abuse his power, but is going to do things to improve lives for people he's not even accountable to.

Are you on Drugs?

 

Amerika is supposed to be a Republic, not a Democracy.

 

Find me a way within the current US framework where things can be fixed? America doesn't fix stuff, America finds new loopholes to abuse. If our representatives will not represent, why bother having them?

As for dictatorship, why are there many Russians who miss dictatorship? Why has Cuba hung in there so long even with their staring match the US has with them? Why did the Kims go through the act of dictatorship when they really could've just set up an absolute monarchy seeing that's what DPRK really is? Why has China not had a glastnost moment and why do people always forget Vietnam?

The classical Stalinist/Marxist dictator sees people as commodities and something that gets in the way. So do corporate executives and lobbyists. How then is the former tolerated and the latter hated when they're both the same thing and in many ways the former at least acts like they care. I'd rather deal with the Castro brothers than Wayne LaPierre since in their old age they're not that evil.

 

Our current politicians are not accountable and we don't get to pick the people who REALLY run the government: the lobbyists and corrupt CEO's. The US needs a hard reset because people will fight for freedom when it's at risk.

 

I don't think OP really thought any of this through before posting.

One day She will look back and be embarrassed about what She wrote.

 

Or one day I'll be right. What is really the difference between what we have now and what Americans see as a dictatorship? Nothing.

 

the civil war proved that this is already a dictatorship when those who no longer consented were forced at the end of a barrel of a gun and 1/2 million dead americans to stay in the union.

Government obtains jurisdiction by "are you here" yes, then we have it, no, we have it anyway.

Prove it! "just because we do"

One man or several man whats the difference?

 

"The Constitution is DEAD." Democrat Tyranny has replaced it! Name something unconstitutional about the Patriot Act... Be prepared to site the verbiage of the law chapter and verse. Want something to change drastically? How about arresting and trying Democrats for Treason? That would fix oh so much...

 

What we basically have in this country is a dictatorship or Tyranny by committee. That committee of course is different sizes depending on the time, and situation, but a committee dictatorship nonetheless. We live in Democrat Tyranny as Democrats have destroyed the concept of unalienable Individual Liberty. Don't believe me? Ask any LEFTIST Democrat type exactly how the Constitution or the Tenth Amendment limits government power...?

 

Within the current framework, the only way to fix the issue is for enough people in the country to wake up and elect only honest, good people. Which pretty much has a snowballs chance of actually happening, in my opinion.

However, I do not see how a dictatorship would be better. How would we prevent that dictator from abusing his power? I know if I was in that position, I would totally abuse the power. I would be way to tempted not to.

 

I'm with ya. The actual Civil War started when Union troops fired on Confederate troops on Sothern Land. There are many reasons the Civil War is called the "War of Northern Aggression..."

At the end of the war the President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, could not be charged with Treason as no one, try as they did, could find anything illegal about succession…

 

The reason we are having this discussion is because Democrats have violated the Constitution so much they have destroyed the fundamentals of our government. How about we simply not elect Democrats anymore, and actually charge people with Treason when they activity violate the Constitution? That would fix oh, so much.

 

Anyone that believes a Dictator would simply step down at a later date is not only ignorant of history but a major fool. Try installing one and a good American will put an end to their rule very quickly, count on it.
Always amazes me when so called Americans give up so easily and think that somehow we would all be better off as seperate Nations, we used call them weaklings and quitters in my day, thank GOD most Americans do not fall into that catagory.

Yes it is ONLY Dems that have done that, riiight.

 

If you were in a Dictatorship you would not be posting here, clear enough for ya?

 

Yep, Democrats are the only ones who threatened the Supreme Court so they would stop ruling DEMOCRATE legislation ("New Deal") unconstitutional. The "New Deal" transformed the government from one that was ONLY to guarantee and protect Individual Liberty to an activist government that basically ruled by Tyrannical Committee. Yep, that was all Democrats that started it all. Sure, some Republicans went-along-to-get-along, but no Republican ever threatened the Supreme Court. Google the "Switch in Time that Saved Nine" to learn why the Democrat Party is the party of Lies, Threats, and Coercion; Treason!

Great observation!

 

So, we should follow the constitution to the letter, and never make any changes?

Even if we, the people, change in the timeframe from when the Constitution was written?

The Constitution was written a long time ago. Times change. People change. I think the Constitution has to change as well.

The only question is HOW it changes. Hopefully, the Liberals and Conservatives can come to an agreement before the government deadlock and partisan bickery causes another Civil War.

 

Think the Constitution should be changed? Propose a legal amendment. Perhaps the needed Super Majorities will agree and the Constitution can then be legally amended as it has 27 times before in the past. Any "change" allowed by a simply law or even Supreme Court Judicial Review is unconstitutional and an act of Treason! Don't worry, if your proposed amendment is worthwhile I'm sure it will gain enough support to change society. I'm sure it will be much more popular than Obamacare as the scheme would not come close to achieving the necessary public support to amend the Constitution. Nor would any of the other Democrat Wealth Distribution and Social Engineering Schemes, which is why they don't even try and get legally passed amendments!

 

The people are the Dictators in this Country. The people run this Country, not the Government. The funny thing is the people who are nodding their heads right now saying, "yea, man.......yea" are the ones not letting the American people make the decisions.

 

Cool! Get corporations to reduce their profits to 1925 levels, and maybe we'd have something.

 

Oh, Jesus. You identify the problem as a big, corrupt government run by corrupt politicians with relatively limited power...so your solution to fix the problem is to make the big, corrupt government about a thousand times bigger and give one corrupt politician supreme power.

Are you insane?

 

We're all F'd anyway so, why not try anytihng at this point?

 

Because we're not "all f'd" and trying things that make your problem worse is the definition of stupid.

 

Lol....you know what they say about "doing the same thing and expecting different results...."

Is there an axiom about doubling down on the same thing?

 

Show me a dictatorship which isn't corrupt, self-serving/perpetuating or oppressive of its populace, then you might have an argument.
