I think conservatives really dont believe Ob is imperial Tyrant...because if I were he, and an imperial Tyrannt, I would re-write all the laws just to dick with the GOP.

Republicans, you got it good. We treat you better than any other country in the world would. Count you blessings.

Questions like this are proof positive that you are one of the uniformed voters who are responsible for putting a communist in the White House. You should be ashamed for playing a part in the downfall of this once great country.

If you want to have an actual debate, make some well read and well articulated points, and we can debate policy all day and see who is more "uniformed". I doubt you want to do that though. These days CD is all about throwing out the caustic one-liners (your post above) or linking a news 2.0 article where the op doesn't even know enough about the subject to actually debate it and cite real sources (like this thread).

One can argue the merits of tyranny. However, the facts are clear that these events did, in fact occur. Liberals (as the one above) are so far gone that they simply deny the occurrence of these events, thus it is easier for them to rationalize being a liberal and embracing fascism.
Cleaning up conservative lies is more unpleasant that cleaning up my dog's feces.

1. James Rosen was under investigation because his information leak put a CIA source who was in North Korea in danger. Do you remember when the Bush administration was intimidating CNN reporters?

2/3/4. Bush starting the NSA surveillance program and you weren't complaining about it.

5. No citizen has been killed by drones. A department of Justice memo said they have authority to if the citizen is a leader with Al Qaeda or an associate force.
Take a Rare Look at How Obama Decides to Send Drones to Kill Americans
6. No evidence that Obama had anything to do with it and he actually fired the head of the IRS for this

Evil Obama!

Imperialist! Communist! Fascist! Kenyan!

So, have you heard about this birth certificate rumor?

President Obama is no more an imperial president than any president that preceded him. Ironic that he should be branded with this label considering that the legislation of his party is the most filibustered in the history of the American presidency.

Pretty soon they are going to need a new metric to count the filibusters.
Where to begin...

#1 The filibusters you speak of are phantoms....not happening. Prove it to me and notice that you will cite cloture...cloture simply ends debate. Cloture can be used when there is no filibuster or threat of filibuster. Cloture has even been used when ZERO votes against a bill happened - simply to speed up the process. MSNBC knowingly cites quotes, because this massive number of filibusters is a lie - a lie manufactured to explain Obama's ineptness.

#2 Find another recent president that on multiple occasions says X is illegal for a president to do and then does it. Obama has more power than Bush had. He is per the term an Imperial President.

You are obviously ignorant so you resort to the tactic of slander.

Schlessinger's book in the 70s started the term Imperial President - which is a president that expands the power of the president beyond that of the constitution.

It fit Nixon and it fits Obama.

Take off the dunce cap, use your brain for a change, read the article and then I challenge you to make a thoughtful response to the article - if you can.

I think you're forgetting one person. This is a good Fox News article.

A true liberal wouldn't support Obama's policies.
