There was a time when liberals...

I couldn't care less how you see them. The US has seen terror acts as a criminal offense throughout it's history.



Not true. There were the Puerto Rican separatist group attacks in the 80's. The first WTC bombing in '93. The Black Liberation Army in the 70's. There's more if you actually look.

In Texas 1880ish Los Sediciosos would ride in burn rape and pillage and run out. They deliberately terrorized white landowners. Harper's Ferry etc.

"How would the power to assassinate U.S. citizens without due process look to you in the hands of, say, Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann?"

I'm pretty certain a renunciation of U. S. citizenship occurred about the time he started aiding and abetting terrorists.

He did?

No automatic renunciation of citizenship for treason:
US Code le 18, 2381

It was more of an effectual than a legal declaration. But, either way, the s bag terrorist is dead.

...sided with Crazy Ron on these issues.

Ron Paul Slams Awlaki Killing: ‘He Was Never Tried Or Charged For Any Crimes’

Now, you've got Obama seeking the death penalty at Gitmo tribunals, shooting an unarmed bin Laden, and unleashing the drones of war on an American turned terrorists.

It must gall the anti-war left, to no end, that their man in the White House is simply carrying out the previous administration's policy on terrorism.

For someone who es about "big government" you sure seem in a hurry to give it more power.

So you're not pretty sure of anything. Okay.

"effectual ... declaration"



Like good right-winger or "Christian" preacher, Yoni makes up as he goes a long.

I'm certain, regardless of your place of birth or your citizenship, if you want to foment acts of war against the United States of America, I don't give a if President Obama or President Bush take your ass out, as long as it's taken out.

I especially like that former Vice President Cheney gave Obama kudoes for the strike and then suggested an apology was in order for blasting the previous administration for just such practices.

[ElNono]

I'm certain.

No, you're not.

[Yonivore]

No, you're not.

Now, you want to argue over whether or not I'm certain I don't give a ?

You're not certain, there's nothing to argue about.

Terrorist activity is largely a criminal offense, not a military offense. Outside of the news media cliché, there's no such thing as a "War on Terror". That Congress authorized the use of military force against those people doesn't mean that Congress declared "war" on them, or that the people on the other side are "soldiers". War is declared on nations, not ideologies.

You can simply go back and take a look at innumerable trials of terrorist actions (Unabomber, McVeigh, etc) for precedent on the matter. There's little doubt.

I disagree, the Branch Davidians are a distant correlation. Law breakers than resisted law enforcement, they died.

This guy was a law breaker to say the least. He resisted the law for years, he died.
