DICTATORSHIP,,
DICTATORSHIP you Wanna Talk about Dictatorship how about it When the DEMOCRATS can just take it upon themselves to decide that they will change the amount of VOTES needed to pass a bill!!!!! They are So Tore up among themselves they cannot agree So they will just BYPASS those that Dont agree By changing the amount of Votes needed to pass a Bill...
WITHOUT any INPUT from the Folks WHO PUT them in OFFICE the PEOPLE themselves.....THEY WILl JUST CHANGE THE LAW TO FIT THEIR NEEDS!!!!
ok We cannot get enough Votes to pass this so lets just Change the law to read we Will just pass it With out the required majority Vote in our OWN party...
Now thats a Dictatorship!!!!!!!
WHO GIVES a RIP if its Good or Not???
The PRES says he wants it So lets just Do it!!!!!!!
Rufus I personally am getting REAL TIRED of YOU Calling most Republicans UN AMERICAN or AMERICAN HATERS
I KNOW a BUNCH of Reps and I am Afraid if you called em that to their faces you Would have to unbutton your Fly to Talk..
have you Ever Actually looked up the Word DICTATORSHIP???????

When governments' power does not come from the people, their power is not limited and tend to expand their scope of power to control every aspect of people's life.

dictatorship is a form of government that has the power to govern without consent of those being governed,

A form of government in which one person or a small group possesses absolute power without effective constitutional limitations..

Dictators usually resort to force or fraud to gain despotic political power, which they maintain through the use of intimidation, terror, and the suppression of basic civil liberties.

They may also employ techniques of mass propaganda in order to sustain their public support.

Sorry Rufus but it is just getting OLD!!!!
How about debating With Some FACTS!!!!!!
From Field to Show and Show to Field the way it should be

Pine Mountain, how do you feel about Leon Panetta as head of the CIA? I noticed that Leon and the White House are butting heads. Panetta has threatened to quit. Do you think that Obama is forcing him out so he can put one of his Communist Czars in as head of the CIA. That is pretty scary, huh? Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dorn must have a grin from ear to ear.
As Rev Wright said, the chickens are coming home to roost.

Rufus, I'm assuming the translation of the above would be "WON'T" so I guess we'll see if you value what you say more than that POS muslim invader who deceived yah.

Also, for you and Long Hair (AKA "more of the same"), please try to realize that if this board were overrun with democrap libtards, most of us wouldn't be here! :shock:
Hell, we're brought together on this board by a common interest that no self-respectin :loser: iberal would ever condone.

"HE THREATENED TO QUIT IF THERE WERE ANY PROSICUTION'S, OF THE C I A "

The CIA, although gutted by the democrats, has done more to protect this country than anyone in the present administration. Holder has time to investigate the CIA but he refused to prosecute members of the New Black Panther Party who were trying to intimidate voters at a voting booth.
They want to free terrorists and prosecute American freedom fighters.

Pine Mountain you may as well leave, just like Obama, you have been exposed. When you get sick and the political board refuses to pay for your oxygen because they need to buy hay for wild Mustangs, build bicycle paths, build another bridge to nowhere, and buy more clunkers so the UAW can spend the winter in the Carribean, I hope your remember where it started. Good luck to you.
