Administration attacks those it sees as enemies

Administration officials have attacked organizations they see as enemies: Fox News, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and insurers who announced that health care costs will increase under the proposed plan in Congress. Their actions have been deemed unseemly by both the left and right. Why do you think they did this?

They want to knock out anyone who does not agree with them, even if it violates their rights to free speech and/or freedom of the press.
They are merely inexperienced and are giving advice to other inexperienced people.
They want to mobilize the left wing base to get the poll numbers up, having lost the support of independents, according to the polls.

FAQ Challenges #5

5. Is it true that if I don't support particular counterterrorism policies that I'm not a patriotic American?

Disagreement about how best to protect the United States from terrorism is to be expected - this is a very complex problem. Debate about which policies should be implemented should be encouraged, for an open exchange of ideas competing for public support will help policymakers find the one that is best. What all patriotic Americans can agree on is that the United States must be safe and secure. It is only when someone actively works to make the United States less safe or less successful that they have the potential to cross the line of acceptable behavior.
