I wish Obama was a better president about this. It's a blight on his legacy.

[trog]

One of many... the growth of the police state under the watch of a professor of constitutional law has been particularly disturbing.

[trog]

Of course, what he has going for him is that he doesn't think rape babies are a blessing from God.

[dwer]

among other things. But the drone thing... not good.

If someone is a pacifist, that's great, although not realistic in the world we live in. If one recognizes the sad necessity for violence in today's world, one should also recognize that the percentage of innocent deaths under the drone program is far below that of any other means we have used to combat those who would destroy us. If you believe that a complete cessation of all military activity by the United States against terrorist organizations would have a positive effect, please explain your position. If you think you have a better way of combating them, please explain that as well.

[dwer]

do you disagree with the position that the kind of war we're fighting now has at least equal chances to create radical terrorists who hate the united states as kill them? Why fight a zero sum game?

[i]

yes I do disagree with that premise.

[dwer]

a great many people disagree with you strongly. There is quite a bit of evidence that heavy-handed American interference radicalizes muslim youth.

So, you prefer Romney?

[trog]

Here we go again. Clearly you prefer an avowed mass-killer of babies to a potential mass-killer of babies. I get it. You've made it clear that as long as Obama doesn't switch to the Republican Party, there's nothing he could do which would lose your vote. Fine.

[pacotelic]

What's great about your argument is that you can't ethically vote for Gary Johnson either. Voting for any POTUS is unethical and therefore makes one Hitlerbot 3.1

I don't think you thought your cunning plan all the way through.

[trog]

You're right. Finally, you get it. Voting is not only collusion in one's own suckering, it's unethical.

Combatant in a war zone?
Warzone is in a country that has asked/agreed to have drone strikes to help rid them of their militants?

No. Sympathy.
Nature is war.
War is a bitch.

[trog]

Holy shit, you are a Republican.

[squidb0i]

No. I'm a realist.
The world is not a nice place.

[trog]

Also, show me where Pakistanis have asked for American drone strikes in their country. Fucking American arrogance is sickening.
