Barack Obama, Dictator
What better example of dictatorship than President Obama’s dictate to BP to deliver $20 billion to a special fund that will be distributed by some political appointee to victims of the BP oil disaster?
Either a nation is ruled by a dictator or it’s governed by the rule of law.
Under a dictatorship, the dictator simply dictates to people what they’re going to do and not do. Those who refuse to obey are punished severely.
Under the rule of law, if a company commits a tort against other people, the victims have the right to sue in a court of law for damages. That’s one of the reasons we have courts — to enable people to peacefully resolve their differences by following well-established judicial processes.
Someone might say, “But America is a representative democracy and, therefore, can’t be a dictatorship.”
Nonsense! It is entirely possible for a society to democratically elect a president who then exercises dictatorial powers.
