Forty-One Percent of Democrats Say Obama Should Be Able to Kill U.S. Citizens on U.S. Soil With No Checks and Balances Whatsoever

Allahpundit reports on a new Fox News survey, "Poll: 41% of Dems think president should have power to kill suspected American terrorist on American soil":

Obama Kill Citizens

“On his own.” To be clear, they think he should have the power to do this “on his own.” This is what years of screeching during the Bush era about “the unitary executive” has come to....

Behold the power of partisanship, and ask yourself what those numbers would have looked like if they had tweaked the question to name Obama. Some liberals have admitted that they’re okay with O’s drone program because they trust him personally to administer it judiciously. Rephrase this question so that it’s about him specifically and maybe you get to 50 percent among Dems.
"Good" men in power is the recipe for totalitarianism.

But Democrats only care about civil liberties when the other side's in office.
