ACLU On Targeted Killing: We’re Cool With Obama, But, We Don’t Trust Future Presidents

Posted on by William Teach

On first blush, I wrote the headline to reflect that it was weird for the ACLU to even attack Holder and Obama. How often do they do that? Not that often, and, the attacks are generally soft.

Worst President Ever: Obama’s Intimidation Tactics Continue

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama and his campaign apparatus have been filling the minds of possible campaign donors with calumnies and untruths about the left’s newest, favorite whipping boys: the Koch brothers.
