John McCain not ‘old bull’ just ‘mostly bull’.

yep, him and lindsey, two peas in the same pile of sh_t.

I could very easily see the use of drones in the U.S.A. by a series of small steps.

First, use them for surveillance of drug-growing operations and other criminal activities. Small unarmed ones, like this one used by the U.K. police force. Just think of them like the ubiquitous CCTV cameras, only mobile. All for your safety and protection, citizen!

Then a couple of years on, using drones as back-up when the police and other law enforcement agencies raid the backwoods meth labs. After all, they can help protect the police when they’re at risk of being fired upon by drug-crazed criminals. You don’t want to endanger our gallant boys and girls in blue, do you? Are you anti-American or something?

Move on from that to armed drone strikes where, instead of sending in the cops, you get a warrant from a compliant judge and send in the drones to take out the nest of criminals. Maximum reduction of risk to the law officers, and as we’re assured about the ones being flown today, they only hit the guilty and nobody innocent in the vicinity because they’re so accurate and pin-point targeted. So if you’re innocent, you have nothing to fear – and if you’re complaining about having a drone bombing the street where you live, it must mean you have something to hide, you probable terrorist, you!

He’s not showing much “decorum” in calling Senators of his own party “wacko birds.” And Steyn is right. Sometime in the 70s or 80s, the city of Philadelphia bombed a row house containing black separatist nuts and killed quite a few. The U.S. government used military assets (tanks) to attack that compound at Waco. The people inside were religious nuts by most people’s lights — but today, Roman Catholics are being portrayed as religious nuts for not wanting to pay for contraception and abortion. It’s one thing to talk about a military-style operation against an American overseas engaged in terrorist activities in a place where the local authorities won’t or can’t detain him. Here, one assumes the authorities can and will arrest bad guys. Blowing remote control holes in them without trial is not how we do it here.

I stand corrected – one American police force has already bought its very own military-model surveillance drone and is only awaiting permission for its use:

“The Miami-Dade police department has purchased a T-Hawk drone from the military contractor, Honeywell, and is now awaiting FAA approval to operate it in domestic airspaces.

… But, if the FAA gives it the green light, its duties in Miami will likely be quite different—aiding SWAT teams and search and rescue operations.”

Step one, citizens. Remain calm, all is being done for your safety and protection. Top men are working on it now – Top. Men.

The Onion gets it.

By the way, if you are ever near Waco, go see Mt. Carmel and think about how anyone could imagine a surprise attack on the place.

And, I remember the Attorney General “taking responsibility” for the debacle at Waco. She served eight years in office, presumably because she could finger Bill Clinton as having given the go-ahead for the assault.

Don’t forget about the midget drones being perfected by scientists. That mosquito buzzing around you might be recording your conversation for the people at the Ministry of Control.

Apparently the torture John McCain underwent in the Hanoi Hilton produced some form of latent brain rot. He has become beyond pathetic and his “sell by” date has long passed.

Having reported myself to AttaaackWaaaatch multiple times for cursing and swearing about the Kenyan Communist occupying the White House, my destiny in the gulag is already set. But, you other patriots here will have to free me after Civil War II.

Imagine all the time and trouble and overtime pay to members of the Gestapo…er…I mean ATF and FBI agents if drones had been available to use at Ruby Ridge and Waco.

Why, Randy Weaver’s wife, son and dog could have been taken out with only three well-directed Tomahock missiles.

Tea Party rally? Lock and load. Press button. Boom! All gone.

We’re already building the tunnels, Don – the drones won’t be able to see us down there. And of course the big one from the Vatican to Wall Street has been operational for some years!

Tea Party rally? Lock and load. Press button. Boom! All gone.

Which is why the language of an “imminent threat” was left so vague. Remember that the Obama administration said that if you believe in some of the TEA Party positions — low taxes, limited government — or profess other conservative values, you’re a terrorist.

So are people with more than seven days worth of food on hand, people who garden, are pro-life…

It’s not far fetched to see a drone taking out a rally of ungoodthink.

Treat terrorism as a legal problem, and treat legal problems (including imaginary ones and/or mere policy differences) as terrorism– it is the logical result of all the linguistic inversions. “My enemy’s enemy is my friend” (as well as Stockholm Syndrome) drives the coddling of militant Islam. These people are just another barbaric tribe at heart. Cower when you cannot bully, kiss up to those who can bully, and join forces against any who stand in your way….And we are indeed pretty much at the point at which the rhetorical attacks are morphing into physical attacks, as they did in the 90s. God help us.

John McCain is a human exemplar of the mascot of the Democratic Party, in attitude and behavior, even if not in all of his political positions.

I quite thoroughly agree with Fuinseoig, Amy P. and Sybil Marshall. In fact, I see far too many parallels to the dystopia imagined by the novelist Eric Blair in the proposals of the current administration to leave me with any sense of comfort about this nation’s future.

Lindsey Graham is just another RINO and needs to go. Hopefully, someone decent will run against him in the Republican primary in 2014.

When liberals think of some of these issues (i.e. drone strikes on U.S. soil) will NEVER happen, or indeed, CANNOT happen, they are just fooling themselves. They want all the benefits of a free society, with none of the responsibilities.

I ask these kinds of people, after they huff and puff their disbelief, what do you think the people who lived in Germany in 1910 thought of their future? If you could travel back in time and tell some Germans that in a mere 30 years your kaiser would have abdicated and a dictator would have risen to power, embroiled your country in another world war (the first of which is coming in four years) and then systematically murdered millions upon millions of people? They would say you were stark raving mad, yet we know very well what happened.

The POTUS was formed by communists in his youth, some of its pals are reds and his “pastor” is a blasphemous demagogue. That someone like this got elected to the highest office in the country shows how undermined our system has become. We’ve taken our status as a “free country” for granted too long and we’ve squandered it.

Sure…Dandy Randy is a fine example of an upstanding “conservative” leader…first he votes for Chuck Hagel and then he spends 13 hours telling us that the sky is falling — or at any rate could be falling in some future dystopian Amerika. All John McCain did was deliver a well-deserved “Shut up, Jackass.” Get over the McCain bashing, people. He was the last chance we had for normality for the foreseeable future.
