How do liberals respond to Obama setting this precedent? The US government now can place Americans on an assassination list without due process of law (or potentially any evidence at all considering the panel meets in secret). It has now been used to assassinate Anwar al-Awlaki; an American citizen. His crime was a speech / thought crime. He edited the Jihadist magazine, Inspire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspire_%28magazine%29 |

at 1:32 PM, Thursday October 6, 2011 EDT Did we have posts during the FISA debacle that went on under Bush II? It would be interesting to compare, since both affected US citizens.
(yes, I'm too lazy to search) |

at 1:34 PM, Thursday October 6, 2011 EDT IN FACT, rather than simply supporting the action that you agree with - you chose to use a partisan insult to get a leg up in the war of who possesses the least hypocrisy. BUT in doing so, you turned the matter at hand AWAY from the issue and towards a party-lined bicker-fest thereby employing the same focus on party-allegiance over principles that you condemn within your teasing.
AS SUCH, YOU ARE THE HYPOCRITE, SIR. GOOD DAY TO YOU. |

at 1:36 PM, Thursday October 6, 2011 EDT No, the original post specifically asked LIBERALS what their response was to this action. Therefore I stayed with the theme of the original post and continued it's partisan outline.
Besides, I already admitted to trolling. : ) |

at 1:52 PM, Thursday October 6, 2011 EDT My intention had nothing to do with pointing out hypocrisy.
My intention was to point out that the rights of US citizens are being eroded by both major parties. This polarization has got to stop. Both the Occupy WallStreet and the Tea Party movement have one thing in common. They identify the root of the problem. It is the cozy relationship that businesses have with the government and the effect it is having on the stability of both the economy and the country as a whole. Sure they disagree about the aggressor (OWS thinks that business is attacking government and tea party the opposite); but the important part is that they both agree that the relationship must stop. We can start by auditing the FED. |

at 2:30 PM, Thursday October 6, 2011 EDT I'm kind of with chase on this. I mean its not news or anything new at all other than the procedure seems to becoming a little more "formalized" which if you're going to do this sort of thing (not saying we should.. or shouldn't) I'd rather make it official as opposed to having it remain yet another big elephant in the room.
This whole idea of what would the "liberals" have to say is just garbage. Actions of this kind have been carried out by every administration for some time. Same goes for the illegal facilitation of importation of drugs into the US and world wide by intel (along with associated assassinations) to help provide funding for covert ops congress would have never openly approved also very fucking old news. A large part of this goes to keeping Wall Street liquid. Bush, Clinton BOTH very big players. Its documented. You'll find the far left taking a very dim view of either side of the isle in this case. This whole idea of protecting our way of life specifically our freedoms is also more garbage. Gotta keep the buy... sell... Buy!.. SELL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS !!! goin. Mad Hat kinda nails it. Follow the money. Actually WINNING the war on terror creates an even bigger problem than terrorism itself much like ending the cold war did. Sure, intervening and combating terrorist attacks the whole idea, but the you need the music to keep playing, hence this benefits no one more than the military industrial complex. If you're still stuck in the low level quagmire of liberals versus conservative ideologies you're just plain in the dark my friend. It kinda mattered more so before, but it's never meant so little as it does today. It truly has become a Wall Street government and anyone who's made a real effort to find where the bodies are buried has always been warned. To kinda spin Doug Stanhope's words. Complaining about the the left versus right today is a lot like complaining that your pole dancer at the titty bar is a communist. So what?.. The tits are out aren't they? |
