Many posts and replies indicate that there is a real fear that Obama , who has arrogant despot tendancies , will set himself up as a dictator. As he continues to slip in polling toward Bush and Carter numbers and as his agenda fails to pass this summer many watch nervously to see how he will act out. Keep in mind rule number 1 in setting yourself up as a dictator. It requires the full support of the military. No dictatorship has ever survived or succeeded without the military. The military is usually the source of a coup. Our soldiers are patriots and an overwhelming number of them hate the pretender in chief. The odds of coup against Obama are more realistic than a dictatorship set up by the empty suit. When we look back at this after the 2012 election , after our long national nightmare is over and the pretender in chief is voted out , it will be clear that he was nothing more than an empty suit affirmative action created President that got in way over his head. The democrats will be banished for a generation as we witness the communist pigs they really are.

Is that why he currently has a 63% approval rating?
and as his agenda fails to pass this summer
Majority in the House, super majority in the Senate. His agenda is passing and there is nothing you can do to stop it! MWAHAHAHA!!
This is just... wow.
Explain how Obama has "arrogant despot tendancies", citing at least 5 examples. Then give a rigorous proof that you can extrapolate two points of poll data to get accurate predictions of the future. Prove that the only two possibilities for the future are a dictatorship, or a military coup against the President. Also prove that of the two, it is more likely that the military will turn against its Commander in Chief. Demonstrate that the 2012 election will result in a GOP president. This shouldn't be too hard with your earlier proof that the relationship between poll results and time is always linear. (Hint: Select the two points carefully) Also, prove that there will be a peaceful transfer of power under the previous doomsday scenario (both in the case of military dictatorship and presidential dictatorship). Finally, show specific examples of how the president "got in over his head", and how this will result in the democrats being banished for a generation.
I'll be waiting.
(but not really)
I've got news for you, Red. The way the Republicans are fucking themselves over (including by fucking other people), there's no way anyone's going to touch that party with a 10-foot pole come 2012. Except deranged psychos like you, but you appear to have experience promoting hopeless causes.
No. The arrogant dictatorship is the one we just finally booted out of office. George Bush is the one who said "The Constitution is just a piece of paper", and used signing statements over 1,000 times on bills passed by Congress to say, in effect, that as Dictator-in-Chief, he alone didn't have to follow the new laws like everybody else. He illegally eavesdropped on us, collected ALL of ur emails and many of our phone calls, and lied to get us into a war, all after fraudulently obtaining the office in the first place.
It was the Republicans who TURNED OFF the Democrats' microphones when they tried to speak in Congress and refused to let them ever hold a hearing about most of the administration's many Federal crimes. It is also they who have refused to comply with Democrats'Congressional subpoenas in the few instances when a toothless only-for-show investigation was allowed to take place (just imagine if Obama's or Clinton's people just refused to show up when subpoenaed by Republicans for a hearing--they'd have been thrown in jail). And thanks to a mostly Republican owned and controlled media, the American public, except the few that have CSPAN 2 and were able to stay up and watch it at four AM, knows about almost none of it.
THAT, Red, is a dictatorship, and you are a fucking idiot.
"Obama , who has arrogant despot tendancies"
Excuse me. Did you spend 2000-2008 dead or in suspended animation?
WTF is this shit?
"pretender in chief"? WTF is that shit? he won fair and square in the election, no one had to go to SCOTUS to fix anything
other than that stupid, the rest of the post is more stupid, get over yourself you moron
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengence; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.
Sorry... I thought we were reading a comic book
Obama's approaching Carter numbers, you say? You mean you're afraid he's going to broker a peace deal ending an ancient conflict, then retire to a quiet life of teaching Sunday school, building houses for poor people and occasionally appearing on The Daily Show?
What an evil, evil man! We should hope Obama doesn't follow in his evil, tottering footsteps!
If you knew anything about dictatorships, you'd realize that elections are things to be avoided by any self-respecting dictator.
Also, coups, by their definition, target the existing order. If the military follows the orders of the President in his capacity as CIC, it definitely is not a coup.
Learn the terms, will you? You look like a blithering idiot.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
