Dictator

Is the failing “great communicator” looking for a starring role in the new version of “The Great Dictator?” He plans to use “executive orders” to circumvent the will of the people (Part I, Aug. 21) as expressed by our duly elected Congress. How do these “executive orders” differ from the edicts of a fascist or communist dictator?

They indicate a disdain for the people and a psychotic determination to have his way at all costs. So what if the costs include depriving us of our liberty and making a mockery of “justice for all.”

Poor (Nicaraguan President) Daniel Ortega! I’m sure he can’t figure out what President Reagan wants of him. Should he do as the President says or should he do as the President does?
