I've seen this attitude before, but it's usually held by Democrats, Klansmen and others who believe that our Rights originate from men.
The truth is this. This man was an American, like it or not, and as such he had rights which cannot be waived by only one branch of Government. It was not acceptable to do this without first stripping him of his rights in a court of law, thereby stripping him of his protection as a citizen. That's what the Constitution lays out, that's what is the standard to be met, nothing less. Those who would reject this truth don't deserve the title of "American" and that includes you and all those others in this thread who don't seem to have a problem with violating the Constitution when it benefits you.
Bluntly put, it's people like you who are the reason why we have elected officials who ignore the Constitution and violate our God-given rights day and night. They're just the representatives of the problem, they're not the problem itself and as long as people like you exist, there's no hope of fixing our Republic. We're literally putting a band-aid on a severed artery.
Want to know what's wrong with the United States today? Look in the mirror, you're part of it.
Who is a bigot? Someone who wins an argument with a liberal. You are clearly a liberal. LOL
al-Awlaki deserved a missile up his a##. Deal with it.
