DUmmies are little dictators waiting to get out.

appalachiablue (39,963 posts)11. Absolutely! Explain what an anti democratic, dictatorial regime and agenda mean as clearly as possible.Use historical examples of dictators and authoritarians and also present figures like Orban in Hungary.Explain what a dictatorship means for average people -- corrupt media and courts, lack of a free press and freedom of speech, loss of civil rights and voting, paramilitary groups and secret police, harassment of dissenters, minorities and more.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
