The future dictatorship of America.

I can't count the number of times people have told me 'oh the american public will *never* have a dictator over them! It will never happen!'.
I wager Venezualians said the same thing and look where they are.
Yet today I found an interesting video of an Obama speech. I can't remember if I heard this before, but it didn't surprise me at all.
Look at this video, and notice the crowds. Notice the people calling out that they want a dictator. Listen to them chant 'yes you can', based on Obama's slogan.
Many of you know that I have no faith in the American public. I have a phrase I use often "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers", and this is exactly why.
I doesn't really matter how many hot-head anarchists and anti-government right-wing people we have.... IF they are vastly out numbered by the ignorant left like in this video.
And by the way, before I start getting a whole bunch of hate-obama replies, Obama isn't the problem. He's the only one in this video saying "our system of government doesn't work that way".
It's the people. Obama isn't going to go for dictator, he'd never survive it. But someone will. Someone always does. Hitler assumed power from the cheers of the German public. Lenin, over threw the government with massive popular support. Even Castro and Chavez, had screaming fans taking them to the top.
And before we get so arrogant as to believe we're secure here in the US, just look at this crowd demanding a dictator. It's these people we must educated, or defeat.

The minute people were ok with their children being molested in the name of "safety", I accepted the fact that Americans would gladly embrace a dictator, as long as that dictator preached the canon of Safety Uber Alles.

Andy, I agree. I have been saying this a while. We as a country are being slowly moved into this idea. New Deal, Patriot Act, welfare in general. ""A government big enough to give you everything you need, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have...." Gerald Ford

Left/right, liberal/conservative, Repbublican/Democrat; all just a bunch of words...ever hear of "Blue Democrats," for example. Each side promises to do what's right for the American people, and then don't. It's profitable to be at war, so Corporate America tells our government to go to war, and it does. It doesn't matter about the parties or 'beliefs," which are little more than smoke screens. Follow the money. Look at the figures that are donated to each politician. Then, look at figures by Ron Paul, where he has much of his money from "money bombs," which are donations from individuals. I honestly hope he makes a huge impact, along with those with the Occupy Wall Street action. However, with the (UN) Patriot Act being renewed, and more laws that get passed (in Illinois, it's illegal to film cops on PUBLIC STREETS...no repeating of Rodney King?), I don't know if I'd say a "dictatorship," so much as something like Communism, with a "group or party" calling the shots, as opposed to just one, main person. Maybe "Corporatism."

It is not profitable to be at war. I don't know where that idiocy came from, but it simply isn't true. Show me one government or nation anywhere that got wealthy from war.
And no, no corporation anywhere has ever "told" government to go to war. That's the biggest garbage I've ever heard.
Rodney King got beat because he refused to obey police officers. If you had watched the entire film, he was fighting them. If no one else has told you, let me be the first. King deserved, and earned every single blow he got.
Occupy Wall Street? Are you kidding? Those pathetic bits of human debris will never do anything of any value, except make things worse.
Wow... where do you people come from? Can we send you back?

I can't find my usually close-by copy of the Constitution at the moment, but we were to be attacked I believe the President can declare martial law, which could open the door to such a possibility. I would rather not go into the scenario I can imagine, except to say I've often wondered if there would be an election in 2112. And I've never felt that way before in my life.
