The United States of America is still a Republic.
You want to see a dictatorship? Go to Burma, or to the former Rhodesia. Try China, or the government in Russia.

Look into the NSSM 200 signed by Kissinger on April 24th, 1974. This dictatorship started way back when in the 70's. Then there are the Patriotic Acts not to mention the numerous Executive Orders that the Public is NOT allowed access to... even with the Freedom of Information Act.

The Bush administration has released a directive called the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive. The directive released on May 9th, 2007 has gone almost unnoticed by the mainstream and alternative media. This is understandable considering the huge Ron Paul and immigration news but this story is equally as huge. In this directive, Bush declares that in the event of a “Catastrophic Emergency” the President will be entrusted with leading the activities to ensure constitutional government. The language in this directive would in effect make the President a dictator in the case of such an emergency.
“...it is not enough to overthrow the old state, but that the new state must previously have been built up and be ready to one's hand... In 1933 it was no longer a question of overthrowing a state by an act of violence; meanwhile the new state had been built up and all that remained to do was to destroy the last remnants of the old state - and that took but a few hours." -Adolf Hitler, 1936
