Each side of the political issue well knows the views of the other.

Is this the "ends justify the means" and it's the "right" thing to do?
Just last week Fox News contributor Dr. Ben Carson warned that Obama administration was “acting like the Gestapo.” Andrew Napolitano penned an opinion article for Fox News.com last month titled, “Executive order tyranny.” Napolitano concluded the article with the ominous question about Obama’s use of executive orders: ”Will this deliver us to tyranny?” Of course, a former judge like Napolitano is no doubt aware that Obama has issued fewer executive orders than any modern-day president—including Ronald Reagan. But facts don’t seem to matter when the right is playing to its base.

It’s a condition known as Moral Relativism and it occurs on both ends of the political spectrum. The ends justify the means. Most people don’t have a problem imposing their morality on others. Politicians exploit this weakness.
Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule — and both commonly succeed, and are right...The United States has never developed an aristocracy really disinterested or an intelligentsia really intelligent. Its history is simply a record of vacillations between two gangs of frauds.

Make no mistake about this, the left/right illusion is what keeps THEM in power by dividing THE PEOPLE. Oldest tactic in the book, and centuries later, people are still falling for this.

The left say 'the ends justify the means' when it's their guy doing it.
The right say 'the ends justify the means' when it's their guy doing it.
And both sides are wrong. The checks and balances are there for a reason.
That's what I've observed from watching the talking heads on tv.
