    So:

    The right ignores this wholesale because Obama = Weak On Terra, and that's just the way it's gotta be. Either that, or they bring it up because nyah nyah, libs are hypocrites because they aren't protesting.

    The left ignores this because, well, Obama's the best thing we've got, and rather him bending the rules than President Romney.

    And the loudest quasi-kinda-sorta-lefty-libertarian voices against this are those who align themselves with a racist old kook or the Koch Bros. or both.

    Meanwhile, the Bush Administration's expansion of executive power gets closer and closer to being codified.

    USA! USA!

    I'm a bit confused. Was The Patriot Act an Executive Order or legislative act?

    Sorry I stand corrected. I forgot that she was killed in drone strike.

    Has there ever been an administration that didn't take out "unfriendlies?"

    No, they only hung her out to dry so she could be picked off at any time.

    Do you really think that type of information is published? Maybe in a newsletter form?

    I guess now some people on the right are worried that the targets might include those in the Tea Party, "Oath Keepers," militia groups, etc.
    Like that would ever happen.

    You're either with us, or with the terrorists. Or at least I think that's what I heard on 9/12/2001. Sounds as if Obama's just following Bush's directives.
