Yes, it’s true.\u00a0 Woody Allen, moral beacon for our time, has said Obama should have dictatorial powers “for a few years”.\u00a0 In the words of Allen,<\/p>\n

it would be good\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6if he could be a dictator for a few years because he could do a lot of good things quickly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meaning, of course that those pesky people who don’t agree with Obama couldn’t stand in the way of all the “good”.<\/p>\n

(Sidebar: who gets to decide what is “good”?\u00a0 Oh, I guess that would be our new dictator…)<\/p>\n

This coming from the man who had an affair with Mia Farrow’s adopted teenage daughter while living with Farrow.\u00a0 He then later dumped Farrow and married the step-daughter.\u00a0 Allen is now 74 and his wife is 39.\u00a0 It seems as though some of the “good” Allen hopes for might be to eliminate all laws pertaining to child pornography (nude pictures Allen took of the girl) and statutory rape (she was 17 when the affair was discovered).\u00a0 Certainly the concept would find favor with Roman Polanski and his Hollywood crowd of defenders.\u00a0 See my previous blog on the Polanski subject<\/a><\/p>\n

And the film, Death of a President<\/a> will become passe’ since there will no longer be the need for a public and messy assassination of anyone who might be elected that opposed the “good”.\u00a0 With dictatorial powers vested in Obama he can follow in the fine tradition of other great dictators like Mao Tse Tung, Josef Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, Adolph Hitler, Kim Jong Il, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, Ho Chi Minh and Pol Pot.\u00a0 The disagreeing offender will simply disappear one day and that will be that.\u00a0 Come to think of it, who wouldn’t want to have their name added to that list of luminaries?<\/p>\n

There is so much to be sad about here; that someone would actually suggest such a thing in this country, that Allen is not the only one who feels this way, that the Obama administration seems to agree (though not all at once of course).\u00a0 But dictatorial power is the endgame of ever expanding federal power.\u00a0 Of course Obama will never publicly say such a thing.\u00a0 Yet a reflection of just how much power and control has been transferred to the federal government in the past year should worry anyone who believes in personal responsibilty and individual liberty.<\/p>\n

This comment by Allen is unconscionable.\u00a0 It is outrageous and should be roundly condemned from every corner of our country.\u00a0 But it won’t be…<\/p>\n

Perhaps now is the time for us all to think twice before spending any money at the movie box office or the video rental store.\u00a0 For if there is one thing Hollywood does understand, it is money.<\/p>\n
