Public Accepts Assassination

With recent disclosures that the Obama Administration personally operates a secret murder list that includes seventeen-year-old children in the Middle-East, it should be clear that America is moving into a new phase of transfer of power to the Executive branch, unheard of in this nation's history. A recent ruling by a judge that Obama doesn't have the right to indefinitely detain American citizens without a trial shouldn't really be cause for celebration, since Attorney General Eric Holder already argued at Yale Law school that President Obama has the right to assassinate Americans without a trial. When Congress followed up on this horrific declaration in a hearing on counter-terrorism with FBI Director Robert Mueller on whether these Executive Assassination powers applied to U.S. citizens domestically, Mueller replied that he'd "have to check." Obama takes and wants personal responsibility for all of his murders and loves it to be this way. This was also the case with Adolph Hitler, whom Germany invested all of their trust in. Of course, any leader whose acts are criminal demands "personal responsibility" for their acts so that the nation--as a collective, absolves themselves of responsibility for the actions carried out in their name. In a free nation such as the United States, where citizens are more free than most other nations of the world, the fact that virtually no public outcry among the vast majority of Americans over the executive's self-proclaimed right to assassinate them is deeply troubling. Perhaps those who are even informed about this proclamation figure that if they aren't doing anything wrong, then they have nothing to hide. However, in a Constitutional Republic, the burden of proof rests upon the government, through due process of law and evidence of the charges made against the accused, before the state revokes "life, liberty, or property." Surely, the evisceration of the Magna Carta of 1215 upon which the sixth amendment gauranteeing these rights is based, under the guise of protecting the population from "terrorism," will cause Americans to lose all three. The indoctrination of the public into the idea that wanton murder of this U.S. administration of both Americans and foreigners based upon a slight suspicion of wrong doing that the executive imagines--without the benefit of an investigation or examination by the prosecution in a court of law is preposterous.
