You and DGuller are far worse

You mean they take Berkut and grumbler's posts more seriously than you do?

As you well know, I was pointing out the ridicoulous tribalism in American politics (or most politics, as a matter of fact)

On the Democratic side, they went from OMG BUSHITLER to IT IS PERFECTLY FINE TO ASSASSINATE AMERICAN CITIZENS IF THE PRESIDENTS WANTS TO!

On the other side, they went from WATERBOADING IS GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN to OMG TEH CIVIL RIGHT OUTRAGE!

We think we are so sophisticated with our politics, where as in fact we are hardly better than shit-flinging monkeys.

I was never against the assassination of American citizens.  I was against torture and indefinite imprisonment (and to the extent those continue, Obama sucks).  It's called nuance.

Lincoln extrajudicially killed more than 72,000 Americans, no one ever gives him any shit.

No one? How can someone from South Carolina say that with a straight face?

He said it with his gay face.

So if I understood that correctly, a US citizen can be blown up with a drone missile for terrorizing a forum by starting too many threads?

What about a non US citizen living in Poland, as an example?

Not worth the price of the missile, it could better be used on an Islamic extremist terrorist.

Not worth a bullet, either.  Maybe a job for a guy with a knife.

Yes.

    They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

And a stitch in time saves nine. BFD STFU.

The sad part is that if this was done in the Bush era, you would be the thread starter, and Timmy would defend it as no big deal.

No I wouldn't

maybe. But derspiess would

I'm on record as saying I don't have a problem with the drone thing. Sorry T

I've said many times that I think the one group that can feel legitimately betrayed by Obama are the civil libertarians. They do. They get furious.

Luckily they don't matter anywhere.

[garbon]

Civil liberties are terrible.
