PRESIDENT OBAMA has refused to tell Congress or the American people why he believes the Constitution gives, or fails to deny, him the authority to secretly target and kill American citizens who he suspects are involved in terrorist activities overseas. So far he has killed three that we know of.

Rare for the "Old And Tired" Times to criticize Obama.

"Perhaps Mr. Obama still believes that, in a democracy, the people have a right to know the legal theories upon which the president executes his great powers. Certainly, we can hope so. After all, his interpretation might be wrong."
Oh I'm sure Obama believes this about a democracy... But does he feel the USA is still a democracy?
I'm very surprised to read how he is getting away with this.

If those who were killed were named Smith or Jones and were Christian and not muslim then the story would not even exist.

Does it help if all US Citizens are equal under US constitution, regardless of their religion? How about the 14thA? Was it suspended and kept hash-hash?

It is funny when the mass media refers to the constitution when defending the rights of those with middle eastern ancestry or roots but ignores the constitution in all other matters. I agree with you. My post pointed out the inconvenient truth about the inconsistencies that exist in reporting by the mass media and the hypocrisy of using the constitution only when it is convenient to support an agenda that is intended to destroy a belief system.
You should understand exactly what I am referring to.

Media is always biased, to left that is it. CNN and their likes, were born to be promote a nice Joe, harm-no-one, plant a tree kind of guy. All are good motives used to to dodge real issues, like drug-related violence, Black-on-Black violence, Poverty and ignorance and inner-city parents who just keeps popping out kids to feed the gang-brotherhood numbers. Illegal immigrants flooding Big Cities like Dallas and Houston (Why all the time the south part of said cities are safe-heaven for illegals immigrants?). Have anyone addressed the "familia" drug networks in said cities?!
Why Parents tolerate organized drug pushing gangs in their families, and hoods?!
