Op-Ed: Emperor Obama

We were warned. “Who can deny but the president general will be a king to all intents and purposes, and one of the most dangerous kind too; a king elected to command a standing army.... The President- general, who is to be our king after this government is established, is vested with powers exceeding those of the most despotic monarch we know of in modern times.... I challenge the politicians of the whole continent to find in any period of history a monarch more absolute....”
The rest is here.

Emperors and kings are hereditary, not elected.

The word for an elected, rather than hereditary, wielder of illegitimate, arbitrary power, is DICTATOR.

Yes, like all our favorite demons Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, Gaddafi.

Call a spade a spade.
