I'm for killing terrorists after a warrant for their arrest has been issued and ample time for them to turn themselves in has passed.
Did the killing of Awlaki qualify? A warrant is all you need? I would think you would at least want them to have been indicted. Some semblance of due process. Some official record of why the government decided that this American deserved to die without trial, if only to protect other Americans whom they might target who are not so widely disliked.
No?
Are you really really sad this guy was offed?
Sorry. But when you fuck with the best..you die like the rest.

The hypocrisy on the left is stunning. The old "make love not war" and stick a flower in a rifle barrel was just political B.S. The left wants to kill people and break things just like everyone else as long as they have a radical left wing administration but the freaking cowards don't want to get their feet wet.
Illegal aliens have been said to be covered by the U.S. Constitution - entitled to due process, etc. I have heartily disagreed. Liberals want to included everyone apparently ... so far not necessarily hypocrisy. Could be ideological differences.
Until today. Now the U.S. Constitution covers noncitizens but does not cover citizens. THAT is hypocrisy.

An enemy of the State is no longer a citizen. I agree with this assassination.

The constitution only applies to Americans you like?

If you are in a war and you join the other side, your side has the right to kill you.

Nixon considered John Lennon an enemy of the state.
Obama's White House considers returning veterans, single-issue voters, abortion opponents, and gun rights activists potential enemies of the state.
We are well into slippery slope territory here. Halfway down the ravine. It's one thing to be glad that a terrorist has been taken out of commission. It is another thing to be cavalier about the possible constitutional ramifications of this. This is serious stuff. We are not treating it with the sobriety it deserves.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide. Abraham Lincoln --January 27, 1838
