Greenwald: How extremism is normalized: Obama's Radical Interpretation of The Bill of Rights

109. No answer, no surprise. Of course they should not be targeted and assassinated, but how long before

it happens, not necessarily to them, but to someone. We've taken the first awful step in the wrong direction. Now the next one has been taken, drones in the skies of the US. Step by step is how it happens.

Now that we have followed the Bush administration down that dark path, nothing would surprise me, and depending on which party goes there first, it will be defended by the followers of the party in power. For some, as we saw during the Bush years, so long as it was their guy doing it, they turned a blind eye and we slammed them, rightfully, for their blind allegiance.

Thankfully it is really just a few on the 'Left' who have flipped to now support these egregious Bush policies. I am grateful for the many, many voices raised in defense of what all of our elected officials swore to defend, the laws of this country.

Once this country gets back on the right track, History will not be kind to those who veered into the territory we are now heading towards. You would think they would consider their legacies at least, if not their oaths of office. This is a very bad period in our history with now, both parties refusing to stand up for what this country is really all about. Terrorists, who needs them when we throw away our freedoms without any help at all. All for political purposes, the worst kind of excuse.
