You may not like the title of this post, but it is exactly what Obama has claimed when he claimed the authority to assassinate American citizens simply because he “suspects” them of being linked to Al-Qaeda. Only a dictator has the power to kill his subjects without due process. Only in a dictatorship do people have no rights, no access to due process. Therefore, when Obama – through his DOJ – claimed the power to kill Americans on a whim, he declared himself to be a dictator.
Here is a story that illustrates my point:
American drone deaths highlight controversy
But the most controversial drone strike took place on Oct. 14, 2011, when 16-year-old Abdulrahman was killed by U.S. forces.
Family of the Denver-born teenager say he had no ties to terrorist organizations and was unjustly targeted because of his father.
Now, I don’t know whether this child had connections to terrorists or not, but that’s the point! Our constitution guaranteed a right to trial to establish guilt or innocence before we have our rights and liberties taken from us by society. Our founders wrote this into our constitution specifically to prevent Obama from doing exactly what he is doing. The constitution is the supreme law of the land. Therefore, to do what he did, Obama had to violate the constitution, which means he violated the law, and the only way one can do that is if they declare or assume dictatorial powers.
Ergo, Obama has declared himself dictator. If you don’t like that, too bad! It’s still true. The question now, whether you agree or not, is what do we do about this?
But wait, there’s one more thing to consider. If we accept everything Obama has asserted as justification for assassinating Americans, then we need to face the fact that Obama — himself — has met that criteria. He has ordered the direct military aid to “associated forces” of Al-Qaeda, both when he helped the Libyan rebels and now in connection to the Benghazi-Syria gun-running operations. So why are we protecting a man who — by his own argument s– should be the object of some special attention from a U.S. drone? Mind you, I am NOT calling for harm to Obama, only pointing out that he is guilty of the same, exact activities he is assassinating Americans for based on his “suspicions.” That kind of hypocrisy is synonymous with dictatorship.
[Note: if you are one who thinks Obama's actions are justified by the fact that we are at war with Al-Qaeda, STOP! You are wrong. 1 -- we never declared war. 2 -- Obama said it's not war, it's a "kinetic military action." Since Progressives like word games, this undermines any claim to war he may make. 3 -- Obama told us the "war" with Al-Qaeda is over because he had "decimated" Al-Qaeda. No, there is no justification for Obama assuming dictatorial powers. But it is an example of what happens when you allow your language to be destroyed for the purposes of manipulating public opinion.]
“You may not like the title of this post” <—- stop being a damn apologist! You are dead nuts on target with your post. No need to open it up weak.
But yeah, 4th Amendment anyone?
Anyone?
Yeah you crazy-insane liberals. Tell us how you feel about your own liberals getting targeted by Prince Charming's drones? What about that?
Augger,
I’m trying to reach those who do not see this, who are so sensitive as to be nearly unable to function (i.e. the Melfamy’s of this world).
“I’m trying to reach those who do not see this, who are so sensitive as to be nearly unable to function (i.e. the Melfamy’s of this world).”
For people like Melfamy, I think you are going to need Play Dough and color crayons.
Anti-psychotropic medications wouldn’t hurt either.
Augger,
Sadly, you’re probably correct.
And Sadly WE the makers have pay for Malfamy-the-taker’s Medications, Play Dough and Crayons.
Like I said… we allowed daddy Bush to open this pandora’s box and now the unruly kids are RUNNING WILD!
Poli,
This started a long, long time ago. This current crop of players are just the most recent in an historic parade of tyrants.
Yes but without a doubt, Bush’s’ Patriot Act took the door and swung it WIDE OPEN and now the convicts are streaking right through the Bill of Rights and Constitution.
There are specific acts in the PA that is making this new level possible.
“Sadly, you’re probably correct.
“
Sad indeed. Just check out the latest ground and pound with Melfamy…

Honestly, I think this may inspire me to begin a series of weekly guessing games here at the RNL called “Name That Crazy (censored) Liberal” where I will post up some facts about a crazy (censored) liberal from current and past history, have you fine folks guess who I might be talking about.
LOL! Do it!
“LOL! Do it!”
Your wish is my command. See below.
Augger,
I LIKE IT! That would be a great series — and eye opening, too (especially for the Leftists here).
While I am SICK of the Left constantly and incessantly blaming G. W. B. – it WAS Bush’s fault this is all happening!
As a father, if I do not constantly regulate and restrain my son from certain things then I am failing as a father. I use this analogy purposefully because the Left I believe live their lives in a ‘child like’ state. Most have never really gained discipline growing up and today we see their acts as adult children.
Follow me here; points in brackets.
If I allow my son to surf the Web unrestrained he will find everything and anything. [The open door]
If I allow this to continue it becomes acceptable. [The new norm]
If then try to apply restriction I get resistance. [The defiance stage]
We allowed Bush to open the door on limiting our civil rights with the Patriot Act. [Obama's open door]
We then did NOTHING! [The new norm]
We now say STOP and its too late, the acts are already committed and what do we get? [DEFIANCE]
These people are children but the moderate right are STUPID neglectful parents driven by self inflicted guilt and delusional good intention, Thus the supreme law, The Constitution (or discipline), is erased and the tyrant child shoots up a school or drops bombs on civilians.
Poli,
I think you R correct about Bush and the Patriot Act…..Blaming GW as the left does is its OWN issue … A tired old excuse and more but let’s not attack that one here.
BUT … the Right, the Conservatives and the “Classical Liberals” could certainlt do themselves a favor by just calling a Spade a Spade……and the Patriot Act is that Spade……..It is nothing short of Facism……and Bush pushed it !!!! We have to accknowledge that fact. Obama is just carying it Forward at an accelerated clip.
The Patriot Act was introduced so fast and had the appearance of being pulled out of a drawer already Re-written and waiting……JUST LIKE ObamaCare was!
Joe and Utah have done an excellent job of high-lighting the Progressive agenda from the late 1890′s going forward by Progressives in both the Republican and Democrat partys … and so has Augger about the more modern face of this scourge. The Patriot Act was part and parcel of this very Progressivist agenda….and from it came the Dept of Homeland security and the TSA.
that should be PRE-written and taken from a drawer.
Absolutely!
Poli,
While you are sitting around blaming Bush for all of Obama’s latest initiatives (granted, I don’t think Obama can think for himself, but that’s another story), I would like to turn your attention to history for a moment.
Let’s play “Name That Crazy (censored) Liberal President”
This president was widely criticized by many for such initiatives as the Court-packing incident of 1937, economic polices which shifted the tone of America from individualism to collectivism, a dramatic expansion of welfare, and end-around Congress supplying military equipment to countries fighting a war … after Congress voted to remain neutral, the entrapment of mass American-Japanese into detention camps (retitled: “Internment Camps”), and a overt racial divide amongst Black Americans serving in the US Military.
Sound familiar? Check your answer below …
Ans: Franklin D. Roosevelt
So really Poli, who’s playbook is Prince Charming of today playing from?
FDR… yes yes yes… look. We can go back further to Lincoln to make my point but again, we’re talking the difference btwn Adults and Children. After Lincoln suspended HC he restored it. That is true statesmanship and leadership for a cause OUTSIDE themselves.
AND… AND… how about Wilson? Again, the ONLY president since Wilson (Obama) that has violated as many factors of the presidency; laws, ethics, et al
Ah, Woodrow Wilson: the world’s first fascist dictator.
At least… for the USA
Woodrow is a good choice, but for non antiquity times, I think that award would go to Napoleon Bonaparte.
Augger,
He was more of a good old fashioned dictator than a fascist. No nod to needing to work with corporations
Wilson is a Good example….but don’t you think Lincoln fits the bill too ??
Don,
Yes and no. As has been pointed out, Lincoln returned things to the way they were. That had to be taken from Wilson. Besides, I think Lincoln had a bit of an epiphany while in office and came to understand where and how he went wrong (but then, that’s just a sense of his mind — I’m probably wrong).
“…but then, that’s just a sense of his mind ..”….?? meaning Your sense of his thinking and motivations ?
Well … the Gettysburg address certainly doesn’t fit with the Facist description ….. but Sherman DID rape the south. So Policy wasn’t altered by Lincoln however much he may have had a change of “Heart”.
Did you really want me to type at 4,000 plus essay about all the crazy progressive Presidents from Lincoln to Obama?
I sort figured you might have some insight to them all, so I choose the one who Obama mimics the most.
Augger,
I’d argue Obama mimics Wilson more than FDR. FDR at lest gave nod to the constitution: Wilson and Obama both see it as an obstacle to be ignored.
Correctly stated Joe.
But go read the PA and you will see all the doors that were formerly closed now opened. It is SCARY! Its an all new level.
Who is FDR?
Here it is.. a direct result FROM the Patriot Act! I have uploaded the memo to my SkyDrive.
You can read yourself in its entirety, says that a drone attack can take place if any “informed, high-level official” determines that a targeted individual “poses an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States,” if capture is not feasible, and when the operation can take place “in a manner consistent with applicable law of war principles.”

That ALL comes right out of the PA.
Thank you G.W. for giving our own internal enemy an open door!
Now Poli, you sincerely do not think Bush had enough brain cells to come up with that, do you?
It’s just an opened door from an earlier opened door, from an even earlier opened door ….
No I don’t. But he signed it. I don’t even think he read it before he found out was was in it… LOL
But the PA is “another door” for the left to abuse and we didn’t need that one more door opened. But the Republicans do this all the time. They seem to NEVER think ahead.
This is a joke right ?
I love it… LOL!
Augger,
Have you seen M. Stanton Evan’s new book on FDR ?…”Stalin’s Secret Agents: the Subversion of Roosevelt’s Goverment”.
It is co-authored by one of the authors who exposed the Venona Soviet spy files in 1995 “The Venona Files” !!
Communism was RIFE within the FDR regime.
And so HERE WE GO!
NOTE
When the Left is involved in ANYTHING it turns out like the USPS, Amtrak, SSI, black neighborhoods, ObamaCare (new estimates reach 40 trillion!) and now this http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/02/06/dem-congressman-claims-theres-a-major-historical-error-in-lincoln/
All I can do is – LOL!
