Support for power consolidation, support for emperors, then a comparison of an emperor's rule to presidential rule man. Don't say Ron Paul will do X and Y when it's clear he won't have the ability to ever do that/want to, then say WELL OF COURSE A PRESIDENT DOESNT HAVE THE POWER OF AN EMPEROR, it's contradictory.

I just told you I was not cmparing their power. That sentence meant an entirely different thing. You wouldn't understand and I don't expect you too because I will not be explaining it.

Assuming we already settled that an emperor is a pretty bad idea.

You've missed my point. You weren't saying the emperor held the powers of a president, and I wasn't commenting on that. I was referring to how people act as though a president can and will make radical decisions to change government as soon as they're in office, one of your arguments against Paul during your rhetorical commentary on how he will tear apart government. Of course people can easily contrast a president from an emperor when asked, but in actual commentary they tend to treat them like one.

Trying to play high and mighty when I systematically shut down all of your points is pretty silly.

If Ron Paul is elected as Prez, I think I'll be really disappointed in America.

I won't get into an argument about it, as I have little education in American politics, though it intrigues me
