My apologies, I did more research, and even though he did say he might salute if they changed it to 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing' (which is still not a statement which deserves applause), he did not really go along with actions to change it. My sorrys for the faulty information. Side: yes

Just like GenericName described, America is not a dictatorship currently. However, looking back at History, primarily in the 1930s of the Great Depression, America could have become a dictatorship. For the main part, this would require a massive economic or social default for the majority of America to surrender their rights to a person who would "claim that they could change the nation." And obviously this has been seen in other parts of the world. Side: no
Democracy and liberty, in both the economic and political sense continue to be the guiding lights of the U.S.A., as they were for their founders well over 200 years ago. America has been the leader of the free world and democratic nations for over 100 years and continues to be so to this day. As the ominous shadow of European conflict looms once again in Europe it will be the United States of America to whom the nervous democracies of Europe will look to stand up to Russia's Ukrainian aggression and to contain it's eye to expansionism in the Baltic. Not only is America not a dictatorship it is the mainstay of democracy worldwide. Side: no
the nervous democracies of Europe will look to stand up to Russia's Ukrainian aggression and to contain it's eye to expansionism in the Baltic Our current leader has no intention of stopping Russia in the Ukraine. He is willing to sacrifice the Ukraine in hopes of Russian support in his futile negations with Iran. Our leadership in the struggles for freedom, around the world have, are, and will remain in suspension until he leaves office. Side: yes

Well when our media was not so Liberal biased, the people's vote stopped any would be dictator. But now we have a media bent on transforming American to their socialistic vision. The power of the press is enormous. You can take any topic or issue of the day and make it look good or bad simply by the way it is covered. I guarantee you that in Germany, they had pro Nazi press that said all the right things to put blame on the Jews for most of Germany's problems. This is how dictators come to power. THE PRESS! This is how Obama got elected. It mattered not that he had ties to terrorist Bill Aires, or bigoted Reverent White's Church of twenty years, or his Liberal socialistic ideology. The press buried these stories and made him out to be a savior for America's transformation. Fox news is the loan Conservative voice in a field of left wing Liberal news outlets. Have you noticed how that loan news network is under constant attack from Democrats. They are not happy with 99% of Liberal bias, they want 100% of our minds controlled. Side: no

Where is your evidence that the media is "bent on transforming America to their socialistic vision"? How can you say "liberal socialistic ideology" when those are two opposing ideologies? Have you noticed that when other outlets are constantly under attack by FOX? It is because they have differing biases. Side: yes

This new age extreme Left Democrat party is definitely moving our nation towards a dictatorship. Ask yourself what does Government have to do to get people to accept Government control? They must first get Americans hooked on Government giveaways. The more and more that Americans become dependent on Government, the more Government can control our lives. As Democrats become more intrusive, the people who live off the social programs created by Democrats will vote for them no matter how controlling they become. We are in the beginning stages of how dictatorships come about. I just wonder if the low end voters will ever wake up or is it like a Frog being slowly cooked in water. Side: no

"This new age extreme Left Democrat party is definitely moving our nation towards a dictatorship. " Nope. Executive Powers have been increased by both the Democratic and Republican Party (remember the massive increase in executive power under Bush)? And has also been opposed by members of both parties. "As Democrats become more intrusive, the people who live off the social programs created by Democrats will vote for them no matter how controlling they become. We are in the beginning stages of how dictatorships come about." That does not describe a dictatorship. Do you know what a dictatorship is? "I just wonder if the low end voters will ever wake up or is it like a Frog being slowly cooked in water." You might want to go ahead and get out of the pot right now, just to be safe. Side: yes
