Man, I am happy your back... And I wish you'd leave. It's March, hit the road already and delete your account. Funny you know about that since you joined in February and it was posted in January. Learn something, when you're banned it means no one wants you here so quit making new accounts.

I absolutely detest the idea of drones "spying" on the American public, but, uh, what the hell are you talking about?

No doubt we'd get a taste of everyday life in the Middle East. Of course Liberals who castrated Bush for his trampling on our rights are now silent for Obama. Now in all fairness that could be flipped around on the conservatives who were silent under Bush. Yeah, the lamest thing is that all this garbage is politically motivated. So Paul Ryan was talking about how Obama wasn't strong enough with his foreign policies, but using drones is too strong? Nobody's ever happy, they just bitch about the other side. The whole thing is tiresome. I have no problem with drones - no matter if it's a lefty or a righty pulling the trigger - as long as they are targeted at crap. Why should our soldiers go over there and risk their lives with all the IEDs and suicide bombers about when we came take them out from afar?

Why should our soldiers go over there and risk their lives with all the IEDs and suicide bombers about when we came take them out from afar? Why not just nuke the whole country? We're bound to get a few that way. Why not use drones? Because they kill innocent men, women and children. They have been used to kill American citizens. They are being put into our skies to patrol us and the President was forced by a 13 hour filibuster to say that he does not have the authority to kill Americans that are not an immediate threat. Of course they don't disclose their definition of immediate so it really could still be anyone they deem a threat. You, me, anyone. Would you like Iranian or Russian drones in our skies taking out people they feel are threats to them? Of course not, so why is it ok when we do it?

Speaking of drones, the u.s House of Representatives voted to require the department of defense of disclosing whether the military is using drones domestically to surveillance the American citizens.

I somehow doubt the Senate will pass it and if they miraculously do then I venture that it'd be vetoed.

Why should our soldiers go over there and risk their lives with all the IEDs and suicide bombers about when we came take them out from afar? I would contest why we're there in the first place. But as Slappy pointed out, it kills innocent people which will only inflame and inspire more radical hatred toward us. I bet for every innocent person killed, there will be another person willing to do terrorist bidding because of it. Would you like Iranian or Russian drones in our skies taking out people they feel are threats to them? Of course not, so why is it ok when we do it? Duh Slappy...it's only ok when WE do it. Don't you watch the news?

I will not spend a second of my life worried about that. You guys who are always paranoid about the government, go ahead and fret. But I wonder, what makes you think that you are drone worthy?

Because being "anti-government" is one of the things Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano says is a terror threat to this country. If you believe in a "conspiracy theory" that the US government had any role in overthrowing a foreign country's leadership then you are a threat. Her report says that veterans could be a threat. Also people who are against gun control. www.fas.org/irp/eprint/rightwing.pdf

Listen guy, I have a better chance of going on a blind date with Joanie Laurer than any of this happening.

I have no fear of a drone shooting me personally, but the precedent that is set is just a little bit terrifying.

I do not fear the government coming and killing me. However they should not have the ability or the thought that they could.
