No they don't. If one was to accept your goofy logic, the Liberal Party of Canada (the ones that gave us the Charter of Rights and Freedoms) would be authoritative simply because they brought in the war measures Act
I think you meant "authoritarian." And yes, liberal parties are entirely capable of being authoritarian.

It seems there are a fair amount of people world wide that are united in their dislike for trump.

Can't say it was or wasn't trumps intent.


Sort of like school, when you think back on it, it was the teachers you hated the most then are the ones you respect the most now because they did you the most good.

If Iran reciprocates and bans Americans, will tourists get a refund on their Stoning tickets and prepaid dirt and rubble tours?

Yeah, I know what you mean. The two I hated most were the gym teacher, who eventually lost his job when the district finally had to admit that he was porking the middle school girls (they would sit in his lap at lunch time; other gym teachers REFUSED to go on road trips with him and any girls' team), and the math teacher who would get drunk at lunch and punched a kid in the face one afternoon.


Yep, they were the 'best'. In a Trump-lover's world, I guess.

Some confuse fear with respect.

Maybe Canada didn't but the U.S. did. I know, you approve of everything FDR did, but the simple fact is he extended the power of the Federal government more than any other president in history.

He also banned Jewish refugees because they "might be Nazi spies." And imprisoned American citizens of Japanese descent without charges or trial. So the Used-Car-Salesman-in-Chief has pretty good precedents.

He also interned the Japanese with an Executive Order ... a whole lot like the current ones.

But not "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors," which is the Constitutional standard for impeachment.

Why don't you shut your piehole about things you know the square root of sweet f***-all about?

So, Bill Clinton was guilty of all of that above for fiddling about with the young female help at the White House? Aren't those offenses subject to both broad interpretation and angry mobs with pitck forks?

Donald Trump could be impeached over Muslim ban, says Texas congressman

A Texas congressman has joined calls for Donald Trump to be impeached for allegedly “exceeding his constitutional authority” with a temporary ban on refugees and immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries.

Joaquin Castro, a Democrat serving in the House of Representatives questioned whether the new President had instructed the US Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) to disregard court orders against his executive order.

“If Pres. Trump ordered CBP to ignore a judicial order he should be censured as a warning. If he does it again Congress should remove him,” Mr Castro wrote on Twitter.
