Anyone can see that a beneficent tyrant could better protect us from foreign aggression. Without the constraints of a Congress, the tyrant could act more swiftly and effectively to prevent, or prosecute, foreign wars.
That would be the new Tea Party hero Tom Cotton (!) when he wrote for the Harvard Crimson.
This is probably taken out of context and I’m not motivated to go through his whole archive to find out. But it’s revealing either way. This was written before he became a politician and had to pretend that he loved freedom. It is what they really think … as long as the beneficent tyrant is George W. Bush or Dick Cheney …
