Bottom Line folks?

Each and every FReeper participating in these forums, a right guaranteed by the First Amendment, is a potential target for the 0bamunist thugs, if any one of us is deemed to be a ‘terrorist’ due to our non-support of, and opposition to, this illegal regime in Washington.

If it were a Republican President, there would be a 24/7 frenzy from the lamestream media for a special prosecutor, articles of impeachment, and removal from Office.

Being that it is the Dear Comrade, and said media just cannot service the Kenyan Usurper enough, such policies will be silently condoned, and the liberal talking heads will look the other way.

Baloney. I have never liked the slippery slope argument, but there are too many ways that can be abused. I would not have supported President Bush doing it, and I don't support this president doing it.

False accusations can be made and evidence can be manufactured so that “anyone” can become an “unconvicted” criminal. THE bedrock of our Republic is the rule of law and the mandate that a “CITIZEN” be given a trial before his peers. Do you really want to give President Obama the right to kill anyone he deems (there is that word again) an enemy of the US. Really!!!

How long before, “Those who will not take the Mark, will be executed.” is heard coming from the White House?

With such an action, Zero's probably settling a score for one of his Muslim financial backers.

Demonstrating his boldness while flying so squarely in the face of the Constitution is a raw show of power not seen on Earth in 65 years.

Without using due process, Zero's claim for such an authorization alone is a direct violation of the Constitution and impeachable. The trial deserves to be short.

“I never thought I’d see members of FreeRepublic advocating for the rights of a terrorist imam”

The next step up from this is targeting a US citizen not in Afghanistan, identified as a dangerous enemy of the state by state decree. Sounds reasonable to target a dangerous imam overseas who happens to be a citizen, less reasonable to target a “terrorist” in West Virginia, but the logical and legal concepts points to being able to do just that.

I mean, imagine if Clinton or Bush I had targeted the dangerous terrorist Terry Nichols and authorized his death far from a battlefield, based on what he was planning and advocating. Lives would have been saved! Childrens lives! A drone in Prescott AZ could have taken him out as he was testing fertilizer mixes. What could be wrong with that?

The Feds said (during Bush’s term) that calling Islamic terrorists, ‘terrorists,’ was a bad thing and they changed it to ‘militant.’

Today I hear that ‘islamic radical’ is now a no-no word. But the Feds freely love to use the word ‘Christian terrorist’!

American Christians (and Jews) who speak the truth (which brings terror into the hearts of those in the District of Criminals) will be labeled terrorists and be subject to...’liquidation.’ Yeah, that’s the ticket!

Now that’s the regime change I can believe in!

Not really. Every single one of those wanted posters had to be approved by a judge. The perpetrator had already been tried “in absentia”. There were and are specific laws covering that. Anwar Al-Waliki has already said through his family that he is not supporting terrorism. He does not come forward because he fears that he would not receive a fair trial. There is “reasonable doubt” of whether he is guilty or not.

“More pertinently, by waging war on us he is committing insurrection against the United States.”

I’m not sure if you knew this or not but the Left has been waging a covert war on America for the past 100 years or so. Now it will become a little more overt.

Perhaps on a bit of a tangent, or perhaps relevant — when did the “wanted, dead or alive” notices so notable in the old West finally disappear? And what brought about their disappearance? Is there some old, moldy, but unrepealed law that Obama has dredged back up? (Funny that Dinner Jacket should have called him a “cowboy.”)

They are very nasty, ugly and hateful people.

0bama could do anything and they would condone it and rationalize that it was justified in some warped way.

BINGO!

We already know that Hassan(the Ft. Hood shooter) was involved with both Obama and this American iman. Obama is protecting himself from further revelations.

...and advocates attacks on American military targets (advocacy which happens to be Constitutionally protected)...

Sedition is Constitutionally protected?

But don't you dare try to "torture" the little twit! Since when did assassination become permissible while torture is not? Truly, liberalism is a mental disease.

Well, if he is still hiding but in communication somehow, there is a dreadful lot he could tell without showing his face.

“So when does the left LOSE IT, and demand Obama’s impeachment?

Or must there be an additional factor of Aggravated Unlicensed Republicanism in the Third Degree?”

And for that remark, Comrade, you name has been added to the “To Be Vaporized” list.

DOUBLEPLUSGOOD, heh?
