LOL..dictators don't get voted out of office..they get overthrown or shot
Didn't that happen in Honduras? Isn't Barack Obama openly siding with regional Marxists (Castro, Chavez, Ortega, Morales) and is punishing the government and people of Honduras who ousted their Leftist dictator wannabe?

Honduras did not back down. They stood their ground for what their government stood for and upheld their constitution. I say kudo's to them for not letting the US try to bully them. Notice their ousted leader ran crying to the US for help and got none.
The more they open their mouths, the worse things get for them!
MADISON - U.S. Rep. Paul Broun is again raising the specter of Democrats turning the United States into a totalitarian state.
Broun, R-Athens, apparently has not changed his belief that President Obama may be a fascist since he made similar remarks in Augusta in November and then in an Associated Press interview.
I agree, its wrong to pigeon hole 0bama like that, he is using pieces and parts of fascism, capitalism, totalitarianism, socialism and Marxism or whatever "ism" he can, in order to attain his goals and move his agenda forward.
And I love the outrage from all the nitwits who spent years bashing GWB...now they get a taste of their own medicine and they just can't believe anyone would bash Obama.
That's pretty much the way I see it. We spent 8 years being critical of Bush for his decisions and policies and now Obama -- and his wife -- are getting bashed for everything and anything just to give us "a taste of [our] own medicine". Funny how so much of the Obama bashing is exactly the same thing as the Bush bashing -- except for the fact the with Bush it was legit and with Obama it is so much just throwing the same words back.
Perhaps if you came up with a taste of some other medicine.....

Here is the thing Kev - the Congressman IS CORRECT.
It's so sad when seemingly bright people don't even know the meaning of the words Fascist and Communist and because of that, throw it around willy-nilly.
FASCISM - any political or social ideology of the extreme right which relies on a combination of pseudo-religious attitudes and the brutal use of force for getting and keeping power.
- - - Webster's Dictionary
The major characteristics of "Fascism" :
* EXTREME RIGHT
* PSEUDO-RELIGIOUS
* BRUTAL
Let's consider the wing with which people are associated with, when speaking of political partisanship.
LEFT WING - the section of a political party, government or group that holds the most left or radical views.
- - - Webster's Dictionary
RIGHT WING - the section of a political party, government or group that holding the views of the Right.
- - - Webster's Dictionary
THE RIGHT - that section of a political party ... which associates itself with traditional authority or opinion and which in legislative bodies is seated traditionally to the right of the presiding officer.
- - - Webster's Dictionary
THE LEFT - that section of a political party ... which differs most from traditional authority or opinion and which in legislative bodies is seated traditionally to the left of the presiding officer.
- - - Webster's Dictionary
Is that clear?
Left = opposition to traditional authority
Right = support of traditional authority
True "Fascism" would have to be in support of "traditional" authority, using brutality and pseudo-religious behavior.
So what clue leads us to know what "traditional authority or opinion" is?
Amendment V, US Constitution 1789
... nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
What is AGAINST traditional authority or opinion?
From the Communist manifesto:
"In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property."
Most Americans would be surprised to learn that private property rights were abolished by voluntary enrollment into national socialism (aka Socialist InSecurity).
PRIVATE PROPERTY - "As protected from being taken for public uses, is such property as belongs absolutely to an individual, and of which he has the exclusive right of disposition. Property of a specific, fixed and tangible nature, capable of being in possession and transmitted to another, such as houses, lands, and chattels."
- - - Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.1217
If the government takes your property for public use - and does not pay just compensation - then you have absolute proof that you do not own private property anymore.
In case you were curious, there is NO LAW that requires all Americans to participate in Socialist InSecurity, nor is there any law that punishes an American who does not participate. It is 100% voluntary - voluntary servitude - legal slavery to the collective STATE.
(BTW - no communist nation achieved true communism. All admit that they have only reached SOCIALISM...)
COMMUNISM - the ownership of property, or means of production, distribution and supply, by the whole of a classless society, with wealth shared on the principle of 'to each according to his need', each yielding fully 'according to his ability'.
- - - Webster's Dictionary.
SOCIALISM - A political and economic theory advocating collective ownership of the means of production and control of distribution. It is based upon the belief that all, while contributing to the good of the community, are equally entitled to the care and protection which the community can provide.
--- Webster's dictionary
Socialism and its cousin, communism, are diametrically opposed to absolute ownership by individuals. They will only tolerate qualified ownership, shared with the State, and you know who has the superior claim...
So the president is NOT a right wing totalitarian advocate.
He's a LEFT WING, opposed to private property rights, dyed in the wool SOCIALIST / COLLECTIVIST, dedicated to taking from one and giving to another.
And, no, the Demopublicans nor the Republicrats will resolve this problem.
In the "horse race" of politics, they're all running on the left side of the race track, since 1935.
