So you can be executed for sympathising with something now?

If it's Sammy Hagar, clearly yes!

Apparently. They are judge, jury and executioner. So much for the rule of law.

It frankly blows my mind sometimes that the public just accepts this sort of thing ... almost no one gets upset, almost no one pushes for real change.

Everyone is so complacent that they let the government do whatever they want. It's frightening.

[ELVIS]

That's exactly what happened in Germany in the 1930s...

[Seshmeister]

Exactly?

I agree with this, however I think it would be a slight exaggeration to say that U.S. citizens are getting routinely zapped by Hellfire missiles...


Off-topic but interestingly related, I once heard a story on NPR about gov't concerns that the drone operators or remote pilots flying them from USAF bases on the continental United States were actually legitimate military targets even in the US...

Speaking of drones on US soil.....

Pressure builds for civilian drone flights at home

Civilian cousins of the unmanned military aircraft that have tracked and killed terrorists in the Middle East and Asia are in demand by police departments, border patrols, power companies, news organizations and others wanting a bird's-eye view that's too impractical or dangerous for conventional planes or helicopters to get.
Along with the enthusiasm, there are qualms.

Drones overhead could invade people's privacy. The government worries they could collide with passenger planes or come crashing down to the ground, concerns that have slowed more widespread adoption of the technology.

Despite that, pressure is building to give drones the same access as manned aircraft to the sky at home.

Exactly?

Yep, Obama is the new Hilter

[Dr. Love]

I don't think he's Hitler, but he's no friend of the people, either, allowing shit like this.

Or do you guys think this is acceptable out of him as well?

Nope, as I've stated a million times....it's not Obama, Congress, The Repukes, The Demos, or the 1% that's the problem!

It's the apathy of the American people that's fucking this country up, period.

They're only getting away with the things We the People allow them to.

So you're going to go vote against those turkeys, right? All of them you can. right?

[Dr. Love]

Also, this one IS on Obama. He is the CIC.

Well, according to you, Ron Paul, and the Constitution, they are following "the law." they're just protecting the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. It is absolute after all!. I mean, we can't "quarter" our soldiers in private citizens houses, but the Constitution says nothing about Pretator Drone strikes by the illegal U.S. Air Force that shouldn't exist as per the Constitution...
