Dictatorship Rules United States

[EagleSmack]

His brother might extend his dictatorship?

dic·ta·tor ( P ) Pronunciation Key (dkttr, dk-t-)
n.

An absolute ruler.
A tyrant; a despot.
An ancient Roman magistrate appointed temporarily to deal with an immediate crisis or emergency.
One who dictates: These initials are those of the dictator of the letter.

A dictator is one person. Bush will be out and three years and that is that. A new person will take over and you will have to find someone else to bash. That does not sound like a dictatorship to me. In fact it isn't at all.

Is this the best you can do. A definition from a dictionary to tell me about dictatorship. Man, I need someone else with a bit more knowledge to argue with here.

Correct. Please go back and see the following point:

This is not a true dictatorship in the absolute sense of the word, but it may as well be.

This is a different kind of dictatorship. This is a more dangerous kind based on greed and lies. It is based on cheating your own people to achieve personal goals that are devilish.

Webster Dictionary has the following definition of a dictotr:

Main Entry: dic·ta·tor

Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, from dictare
1 a : a person granted absolute emergency power;{BUSH} especially : one appointed by the senate of ancient Rome b : one holding complete autocratic control c : one ruling absolutely and often oppressively

The post was meant for Mog and not you Az. I read what you said. You are very well spoken and some people could learn from you here. With that said... Hitler was by no means left. He hated communism. He had social parts of his nazi govt but he loathed the Soviet Union and their form of government. That was one of his first rules of the day... to wipe out the German Communist Party. Then in June of 1941 he went to wipe out the Soviets.

I posted the term dictatorship for Mog so he could see how his prediction of an extended dictatorship through his brother. It is not possible and in the sense of the word... well, it flies in the face of logic. I could not even think of a proper metaphor to descibe it.

I would like to see where and when Bush was granted Absolute Emergency Power.

There is the National Emergencies Act. The President of the United States has the power to enforce this act by declaring a state of emergency, which Bush did on September 11th 2001.

He has stated that he will execute statutes of Title 10 and 14 which fall under military use.

Thanks ITN. My point exactly. Bush has the power to declare state of emergency anytime He might think it is important to raise the level of fear in the US.

Actually it is still in effect, the only thing he can do at this point is implement more statutes that would affect civilians and he has not done that, yet.

When a President implements all powers of the emergency act, Congress goes into recess and only the President can grant them session again unless 2/3 of Congress and the House of Representatives votes to overturn those powers.

Should those powers ever be fully enforced the American people have referred to it as a "constitutional dictatorship."

Azalie: EXCELLENT posting.

the problem is that "Americans" have a hard time differentiating the subtlties. As you can see......the go to their trusty dictionary to define dictatorship..........and use that as the arguement. Without seeing the variations. Seems that they only see things in black and white. (with us or against us......and other such restrictive concepts)

There are many forms of "dictatorship"......and the term can be used a tad loosely. There is no question that the "flavor " of autocracy/dictatorship is there. Goes with the bush personality too......and he is a control freak. And control freaks want things THEIR way. .........which then translates into a shade of "dictatorship".

Maybe what is needed is a new term.........one that can fully describe the ruling clan in the US so that they could put a label on it. If there is no label......they have a hard time comprehending it. This is a generalization of course......but it is apparent that conceptual thought is not their strong suit.

BUSHTATORSHIP

BUSHTATORSHIP

good one. mog. And very usable too.



OK......just to be very clear as to what you mean......(to prevent any distortions and misinterpretations )....you might want to define it explicitly. :wink: "we' have to be sure "they" understand the term .;-)


(an aside......but I would be willing to bet that the bush -jeb is being groomed to be the next shrub in the whitehouse. "we" already know that the bushites know how to "handle" the election process ......

It happens all the time with him. Poor guy, can't face reality. He disappeared when I challenged him to provide me with his sources and when you showed him the links to the websites.
