In Glenn Greenwald's latest article, he discusses the fact that Obama and Holder have taken it upon themselves to decide, like some Sultan or Emperor, when an American citizen who displeases them can be assassinated using the power of the American government.

If anything should scare the average American, this should, especially when you recall that the government is defining those who disagree with them politically, and even people like returning soldiers, as terrorists or potential terrorists.  

How far is it between killing Al Qaeda fighters who happen to possess citizenship, and killing someone like, I dunno, Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity because they are of a different political persuasion?  Looked at in this context, it is extremely worrisome that leaders of the Democrat Party are using such hateful language to describe those who disagree with them, since the dehumanization of your opponents through propaganda is the first and well recognized step to justifying their physical elimination.  If you think that's crazy, simply research the methods used for this purpose by the Marxists, the Communists, and indeed even our own government during the two world wars (remember the "Hun?")

As Leon Panetta recently confirmed, the President makes the ultimate decision as to whether the American will be killed: “[The] President of the United States obviously reviews these cases, reviews the legal justification, and in the end says, go or no go.”

So that is the “process” which Eric Holder yesterday argued constitutes “due process” as required by the Fifth Amendment before the government can deprive of someone of their life: the President and his underlings are your accuser, your judge, your jury and your executioner all wrapped up in one, acting in total secrecy and without your even knowing that he’s accused you and sentenced you to death, and you have no opportunity even to know about, let alone confront and address, his accusations; is that not enough due process for you? At Esquire, Charles Pierce, writing about Holder’s speech, described this best: “a monumental pile of crap that should embarrass every Democrat who ever said an unkind word about John Yoo.”

Do you trust these guys? With your freedom, your money, or your lives?
