No, you specifically stated your belief that anyone who deviated from the Constitution (your reading of it) or changed it (which would include amendments, by the way), was a dictator. Faced with the dilemma you've painted yourself into, now you are trying to change the subject away from your definition of a dictator back to simply calling the current president one.

No, the South thought it had the right to secede under the United States Constitution. Lincoln thought otherwise. The South thought that if it seceded, that it could keep Federal property and fired on Ft. Sumter, Lincoln believed otherwise and considered it an act of sedition.

For that matter, how about Thomas Jefferson? He violated his own small government views on the Constitution with the Louisiana Purchase. Was he also a dictator?

"ANYONE WHO DEVIATES FROM (or seeks to change) OUR CONSTITUTION - BY DEFINITION - IS ADVOCATING DICTATORSHIP." Lincoln and the North deviated from the South's interpretation of the Constitution. Lincoln and the North changed the Constitution. By your own words, you would call them dictators, so you have two choices. Stick with your definition and call him such, or admit that maybe there are more than one interpretations of the Constitution and not everyone who disagrees with you is a dictator.

Was Lincoln a dictator?

Read your history. There have been multiple interpretations of the Constitution (with even two distinct schools of thought in the early days of the Republic) that have been warring with one another since the founding. It's one of the reasons why the nation's leaders eventually accepted SCOTUS as the arbiter of these disputes and their opinions as settling them.

No, the insurance isn't free. You still have to pay for it monthly, but at least it's better than suffering and accepting an early death.

No, you half-wit, I don't want a dictator of any stripe, which is one of the reasons why I've been complaining about Bush and Obama's attacks on our civil liberties for the last 7 years. Tax rates from the 90's, a social safety net, and a well regulated market =/= dictatorship or socialism.

For starters, the size of the insurance pool.

No one's asking you pay off someone's credit card bills. But asking every citizen to contribute a modest amount in the form of payroll taxes to provide for Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, and providing a minimum food suppliment to those who need it isn't some godawful unreasonable commie idea. We're all Americans, and we're in this together.
