It’s only a matter of time till that KIND OF headline appears. We couldn’t get the people there in time, since we have cut back on manpower and the ‘Borders are safe’. But we got them anyway. It’s a good thing Eric Holder, and John Brennan established the star chamber process for killing some Americans they KNEW were a threat to other Americans.
I would rather hear we went out and killed Awlaki because we COULD and it was an exceptional out of process RISK taken by a few good men then hear we now have an INSTITUTIONALIZED PROCESS, VETTED BY ONLY THE EXECUTIVE, for using technical means of silent attack from above to kill Americans and VIOLATE the Constitution when the exec feel it’s needed. Besides, didn’t they say the war on terror is over?
I find it truly CHILLING to find out one day the executive and others in the legislature want to limit the 2nd Amendment, treat those who uphold it as ‘NUTS’, and then leak that there is a process by which they violate the Bill of Rights, kill those THEY DEEM threat to the people (maybe THEM) in SECRET PROCESS, and they think its OKAY.
OKAY.
And Jay Carney defends it in public as LEGAL. Legal by that same process water boarding was made legal. So 40 seconds of water being poured on your face is now worse than a Hellfire missile? Usually SEVERAL. With other people around.
Could those who thik that’s okay differentiate between those who mean little harm to the people EXCEPT FOR THOSE WHO CREATE A PROCESS FOR KILLING AMERICANS WITHOUT THE BILL OF RIGHTS BEING INVOLVED, and actual terrorists?
Any guesses?
This nation is in REAL, REAL TROUBLE. Maybe it began with the Patriot Act. Maybe it was accelerated by the CORRUPT SELF RIGHTEOUS progressives in charge now in their runaway executive power.
And Tea Party ‘gun nuts’ are not alone in this concern.
SALON:
When even a Joan Walsh is wondering, you have to KNOW something is REALLY REALLY OUT OF ORDER.When liberals ignore injustice
Last year Brown University’s Michael Tesler released a fascinating studyshowing that Americans inclined to racially blinkered views wound up opposing policies they would otherwise support, once they learned those policies were endorsed by President Obama. Their prejudice extended to the breed of the president’s dog, Bo: They were much more likely to say they liked Portuguese water dogs when told Ted Kennedy owned one than when they learned Obama did. But Tesler found that the Obama effect worked the opposite way, too: African-Americans and white liberals who supported Obama became more likely to support policies once they learned the president did. More than once I’ve worried that might carry over to bad policies that Obama has flirted with embracing, that liberals have traditionally opposed: raising the age for Medicare and Social Security or cutting those programs’ benefits. Or hawkish national security policies that liberals shrieked about when carried out by President Bush, from rendition to warrantless spying. Or even worse, policies that Bush stopped short of, like targeted assassination of U.S. citizens loyal to al-Qaida (or “affiliates”) who were (broadly) deemed (likely) to threaten the U.S. with (possible) violence (some day).
