>Drone striking a us citizen

I can’t tell if your joking. Obama definitely was not a conservative, and he actually called a drone strike on a US citizen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki

However the people right now calling for Orwellian surveillance and restriction of travel are not right wingers.

Oh, right, I remember the uproar from conservatives protesting the drone striking of a US citizen by the far-left Obama.

Remember the PATRIOT Act? Remember the NSA mass surveillance program (which is btw still ongoing)? Remember black sites? Remember Guantanamo Bay? Remember No Fly Lists? Remember the 60 Words? Remember the militarization of the police force? Remember dragnet phone surveillance? ... Remember the PATRIOT Act?

I didn't say it's only right-wingers. I said it's not a partisan phenomenon.

As long as we can reliable place blame on a US political party this problem will go away. /s
