Exactly.

Words are thrown around today so as to lose all meaning. Socialist, fascist, dictator, etc. It's like a schoolyard namecalling tantrum.

Here you go:

A dictator is a ruler (e.g. absolutist or autocratic) who assumes sole and absolute power with military control but, without hereditary ascension such as an absolute monarch.[1] When other states call the head of state of a particular state a dictator, that state is called a dictatorship. The word originated as the title of a magistrate in ancient Rome appointed by the Senate to rule the republic in times of emergency (see Roman dictator and justitium).[2]

From Wikipedia: Dictator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I looked it up, so you don't have to.

lol to this, especially this part:

Should be "twoopers", but still, that was really funny.







Oh, and ROTFLMAO at you for believing it.

Nobama sure threw a bunch of words around during his campaign ... nothing else though ... no substance .... no meaning ... just words

He must be one of those that can stand around and talk all day long, and not say a damned thing ..

People, people, all these drugs are getting to your heads!! Put those pipes down!! If you believe he's a dictator, go live in North Korea or Sudan for a little while. You'll be begging to come back and live under "this dictatorship" faster than you can say Obama!

Well, since there is this thing called a House of Representatives and Senate that Obama hasn't sent home... the question remains stupid.

Thanks for looking it up and proving that the OP and several others here don't know what it means.
