Pentagon Official: The Obama Drone Kill Memo Is Out And Libertarians Were Right — It’s Murder
The Daily Caller ^ | 6/24/2014 | Joseph Miller

Posted on 06/25/2014 5:53:03 AM PDT by Enlightened1

On Monday, the White House memo used to justify drone attacks on U.S. citizens was released, and it appears to confirm the worst suspicions of its libertarian critics. The Obama administration had sought to keep the memo secret, and now we know why: Because there are no checks and balances; there are no classified courts. Indeed, the memo reveals that the president of the United States ordered the targeting killing of U.S. citizens overseas — in violation of their constitutional right to due process — sans any type of oversight outside of the executive.

Summer is just starting, perfect time to threaten a race war in cities across America. Look how Cochran incited blacks to get their votes, by saying the tea party is racist and opposes Obama. Any effort to oppose Obama this summer will be spun and spun to incite black violence. He’s got a free pass until his term is up. Then they will use the same approach with Hillary, that we are against her because she is a woman. That’s why I keep saying only Palin can defeat her. By the time the election rolls around no one will care about Hillary’s past, and they will make full use of the “It’s about time for a woman president.” mantra.

I’m not worried: As soon as the next Republican gets into the White House, the Dems will go ballistic over Obama’s Drone-Strike Memo’s — without ever mentioning his name, of course. This will all be fixed and the policy will be blamed on Obama’s Republican successor, like Nixon got blamed for Vietnam.

But for now we are living in a Camelot/Liberal Utopia where their guy is always good & righteous and all evil flows from Conservatism. (sarcasm)

Good grief! It wasn’t JUST the ‘libertarians’ that were saying it!

Back in the 1990s we passed up the opportunity to get bin Laden because the Clinton Administration was concerned with due process and the legal basis to hold him. Clearly these individuals are colluding with the enemy and operating as enemy combatants with the goal to kill Americans. I’m not going to lose a lot of sleep over this one.

So, what I'm trying to say is please add me to the Nut-Job Conspiracy Theory Ping List.

If you don't add me, I will report you instantly to the Mods and just to make sure, not that they don't already know... nervous laughter, looking over my shoulder... I'll report you to NSA as well!

Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kind of cool. (Bill Clinton’s press secretary)

Obama “Press of the button, problem solved”.
“But that was the wrong target sir”.
Obama “Sh*t happens”

>" the president of the United States ordered the targeting killing of U.S. citizens overseas "

Using Progressive logic, means he can target US citizens on continent while he's overseas.

Ask that Rolling Stones reporter that had his engine blasted sideways.

That's rich, coming from people who think Hussein is black just because he has dark skin!

Black violence would be icing on the cake at this point to the democrat party - they have become the Elephant in the Room, no longer the slim work horse (donkey) of the middle class. The repudiation of Obama would be black violence and thus his place in history....

Hey, he’s got a pen and he’s got phone.
Why shouldn’t he have unrestricted power to illuminate anyone anywhere at anytime?

Given the lawlessness of this gang, I don’t see anything that would stop them from targeting US citizens anywhere.

Welcome aboard. There are still some silly people out there who think they can join without the threat.

Meanwhile, here are some fashion tips...

“I’m not going to lose a lot of sleep over this one.”

What next? Why can’t obama drop bombs on a “domestic terrorist” in Montana? What’s the difference? Geography? When people finally ask why the feds just say, “the guy was making bombs and threatening the president. We have it all on his hard drive. Yes, he’s dead and unfortunately he cannot say otherwise”.
