Dictators Need Not Apply

Dear Old Blog,

A thought regarding the presidential race:

No policy gain (even one that I really want) is worth having a dictator or even a president who moderately disrespects the rule of law.

First of all, because this is the United States of America. We are a democratic republic and we get our wins through the democratic process.

But, secondly, because a policy win handed to you by a dictator can always be changed at the whim of a dictator.

In the United States, we do not have kings or queens. We have a president who is constrained by the rule of law and the separation of powers.

And, we don't need a president who sees himself or herself as the Messiah or one with a savior complex.

We already have Jesus, thank you.

Love,
Paul
