New Washington Post polling data reveal that liberals strongly approve of Obama’s drone assassination policy – even when it is used to kill American citizens. Overall, 83% of Americans approve of Obama’s drone killing policy.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is raising hell about the administration’s secrecy – demanding that they at least release the confidential memo that explains why the President has the right to order secret killings. But the Obama administration is stonewalling in the best Dick Cheney fashion. ‘
The following poster – entitled Liberty Drones – beautifully captures the depravity of Obama’s policy. (The artist, Tom Blanton, has a bunch of great art work at the PoliCulture page of his Flickr photos. Tom is also the mastermind of the Project for the New American Revolution).
It is sad when the battlelines for the defense of liberty have retreated so far that it is necessary to argue that it is imprudent to permit Presidents to secretly kill one’s fellow citizens.

I remember suspecting this during the Bush years. I tried to start conversations with my liberal friends about specific things that Bush did that were wrong, and they always steered the conversation over to personal attacks on the man. As if his intelligence or social status or presentation had even the slightest relevance to the pile of bodies that was accumulating.
Now, their approval for the Obama administration has caused me realize that they were merely doing identity politics the whole time. How sad and boring.
