That IS the markings of dictatorship---just as was George Bush II's ability to overlook the torture of prisoners held by the U.S. outside our territorial waters. We are either a nation of laws, or a nation of men--which entails that whatever man is in authority would just make up the rules as they went along. That is not our history.

I most likely will not vote for Paul if he runs, and I think he will, because I believe the extreme economic action he proposes would collapse us even sooner than our runaway debt will. But I totally support his libertarian views on how Americans should treat its own citizens.

No, Mr. President, the rule of law in our country cannot depend on your good intentions.
What good intentions?

True, so true. Did you ever hear of a scammer saying I'm Joe Scammer and you think he is the good guy. No, that is what scammers do. They play you, convince you he is the good guy. If they told you what they really want.. scam game over. Well basically thats what happened.

Obama is not a dictator but every action he takes is a power grab. Money is power, he already got a more of our money and he is already demanding more (2 months out). Watch the volume go higher as we get closer to 2014. He keeps demanding his way and then calls his approach balanced.

Look at sequester, he said he would veto any attempt to stop sequestration, added a tax increase as part of negotiations, republicans said no new taxes, then Obama ran around the country fear mongering and trying blaming republicans hoping you would buy it and put the pressure on giving Obama his tax increase. Obama will continue to demonize the republicans because he wants Democrats to win in 2014.

Why? .... Because it will give Obama more power.

Anyone who thinks to the contrary is a paranoid idiot who has no concept of reality, to be frank.
Obama is dictating his socialist agenda on the people.

Where have I heard about something like this before ? Some guy wrote a book about it. Uh, lets see here. The book was Mein Kamph, the guy was Adolph Hitler (who kept saying "Im no dictator" until 1939) & the nation was Germany under the Third Reich. Funny huh ?

At about the two minute mark, Paul deals with Obama's good intentions.


LiveLeak.com - Rand Paul at CPAC 2013

It's just that good intentions are not good enough!

So is the slogan "Forward" only used when it's necessary? When I was growing up and someone did something that I knew was wrong and I followed, I wasn't able to get out of trouble by claiming the other kid did it to. Why is it the left continues down this same path??????
