President Obama’s policy of targeting enemies, including Americans,
for death through drone strikes is the latest and most alarming example
of the endless expansion of government power, according to Judge Andrew
Napolitano.
Napolitano is the senior judicial analyst for the Fox News Channel
and is the author most recently of “Theodore and Woodrow” and “The
Freedom Answer Book.” He says the growth in government power is nothing
new, and the erosion of individual freedoms is always pitched in
pleasant ways.
“Monster government almost always comes with a smiling face,” he
said. “After it’s here, the face loses its smile and it saps our
liberties and our prosperity.”
Read
Andrew Napolitano’s hot new column, “Obama gives himself permission to
kill,” in which he asks: When will president’s drone murders come home
to our shores?
Napolitano said there is no implosion of rights as troubling as what
we’re seeing this week as the Obama administration defends the targeting
and killing of enemies, including American citizens, without giving
them the right to due process.

Obamacare excise tax showing up on receipts for sporting goods
(NaturalNews) The infamous Obamacare excise tax on medical devices that
we covered back in December has officially come into effect as of
January 1, and the fleecing has already affected some customers at a
popular sporting goods chain. As reported by The Blaze, the 2.3
percent tax, which was only supposed to affect medical devices sold to
hospitals and other healthcare entities, began to show up inexplicably
on store receipts at a Cabela's sporting goods store in Texas, catching
some customers by surprise.
A screenshot of a Cabela's store receipt that has widely circulated the internet in recent weeks shows purchases made for $279.67, with $26.69 of this total representing taxes. But further down on the receipt is a breakdown of this charge which shows $20.87 for "General Sales and Use," and $5.82 for a "Medical Excise Tax." Not only had the Obama administration previously indicated that medical devices sold at the retail level would be exempt from the tax, but Cabela's does not even sell medical devices, which makes the appearance of anomalous charge highly confusing.
