Now we’re really mad at this subset of redheads. And they are numerous enough, organized enough, and dispersed enough that they really hurt us with some regularity.

How do we declare war on them? How do we fight them when they can use hair dye and make-up to disguise their being redheads while all the other peaceful redheads still exist, with red hair? They are among us. They are us. They are American citizens. And yet they are attacking us in loosely coordinated and devastating fashion. What do we do? How do we deal with this?

Don’t prattle to me about “police”. What do the police look for?

What do we allow our POTUS to do if he is somebody we trust to do right?

What do we allow our POTUS if a scoundrel is elected two years later when our man’s term runs out?

Reverse that. Do we want our “trusted” man to be saddled with insane restrictions placed on the scoundrel?

Those are tough questions, especially in a political climate such as we have when trust in our government just plain does not exit nor is it warranted, not for Bush, certainly not for Obama.

It is time to figure out what to do rather than blather about the Constitution when arguably it does not apply. Fighting for a foreign government used to and should still end your US citizenship unless Congress decides otherwise. Logically fighting for a more or less organized enemy of the US that is not itself a nation but fights with a nation’s worth of resources should also remove citizenship.

Regardless of citizenship, a silly shibboleth for argument, ALL men and women have a right to a fair trial and so forth given by God. But some of them resist arrest, do not avail themselves of opportunities to safely surrender and submit to trial. They may stay in their bunker with their hostage, instead. Common usage means we send in armed fighters to disarm him and capture him, if possible, and kill him if needed. If moving in on him is impossible, now we have drones. Or perhaps now we arm our police with Apaches. Either way if the person is causing enough disruption, he or she dies. If there is a taint of wrong doing involved those involved may face problems once all the smoke has cleared, presuming we are the victors.

Note that this may redefine our national relationship with organized crime and criminal gangs. What are the consequences. Think it out.

WTF DO we do? And, we’ve dawdled long enough we have to act fairly precipitously. The voters have done this to themselves.

There’s enough qualifiers in the passage above to give anyone pause, of course:

-
I read a full page article in an engineering trade mag today, it had the same long winding excuse ridden format. The article was titled something like ‘so where are the jobs?’… Actually I think it was the editor’s opinion piece…

It went on about off shoring being a decades long problem, and that re-shoring those jobs will not happen… due to efficiency improvements in the manufacturing world. Etcetera… AKA… excuse making for the continued poor jobs market.

There was also one sentence that foisted a load of blame on the REPUBLICANS… but not one drop of ‘dem blood’ or Barry’s finger prints are on the current economic malaise according to the writer. Fact is I saw cover for Barry all over the page. This guy has done this before, maybe it was over the Volt/GM/Detroit… But I’m not sure, it’s been a year or 2.

The faithful are now laying the ground work for a second term that totally sucks… and yet that allows them the warm feeling that Obullsh*tter kept it from being much worse.

sure there is….. just use the phrase “imminent threat” then ya can vaporize yahoo’s that are sitting on their Camel in the middle of a Yemen desert. Of course this assumes the the clowns run’n da circus are still argue’n over what the meaning of “IS”… IS

roflmmfao

This isn’t ultimately about ideological hypocrisy… too many journalists are ready and willing handmaidens to power – including the power to kill.

Horsecrap – ideological hypocrisy is exactly what it is ultimately about. Just watch those willing handmaidens turn into mighty anti-establishment warriors… the instant a Republican becomes President.

Who do you think you’re fooling?

Or maybe I’m just too cynical?

Liam on February 8, 2013 at 9:53 AM

There seems to be a lot of that going around.

Maybe it’s the new flu./

The establishment media used to remind us of that need for checks on power and due process when a Republican was President. Maybe we should have a Republican as President all the time so that the media can actually do its job.

Yeah, but then most of the media whores would be out of a job. How many actually have the ability for ‘investigative reporting’?

Most of the current crop appear only to have the ability to fall on their knees before The Chosen One and ask difficult questions such as:

1) How was your day?
2) How do you keep such a nice crease in your trousers?
3) Playing golf this weekend?

But should that fight show up at my doorstep? I’d be in it. The media would have to cover that, wouldn’t they? Could they turn away from that?

Washington Nearsider on February 8, 2013 at 9:31 AM

In a heartbeat.

To satisfy their masters.

And, if it’s not reported…it never happened.

Every one of these human trashbags would turn away if you and your family were dragged from your house in the name of whatever Bark said needed to be done. They’re all pathetic, enabling cowards.

Bishop on February 8, 2013 at 9:28 AM

I believe you’re right.

I also believe I wouldn’t go quietly. I want nothing to do with a real fight with the US government in any capacity. I don’t think it’s a fight I could win.

But should that fight show up at my doorstep? I’d be in it. The media would have to cover that, wouldn’t they? Could they turn away from that?

Washington Nearsider on February 8, 2013 at 9:31 AM

They might cover it, but that doesn’t mean you’d get any support when the government thugs murdered you and your family. The mass murder of the Branch Davidians in Waco proves it. 21 of those murdered were children under the age of 16.

The US government is evil. It is the enemy. And you should fear it.

They’re all pathetic, enabling cowards.

Bishop on February 8, 2013 at 9:28 AM

Yup.

Troll Free.

Del Dolemonte on February 8, 2013 at 9:38 AM

My thoughts exactly.

Where are our idiots telling us we lost?

Probably busy changing their Depends.

Jabez01 on February 8, 2013 at 11:26 AM

Excellent comment. +1,000.

To sit and think that these people care about the country or their own well-being is frivolous. They do not think more than one day ahead, these are shallow people with shallow souls. They’ve been trained that way.

This is true, yes; however, some of them might be surprised and perhaps even hurt when they themselves become targets in some way, especially if they perceive themselves to be super-loyal water carriers. Their shallowness also doesn’t include the possibility that they might be perceived as turncoats for any whimsical reason that might arise. Cue much sardonic laughter from the rest of us.

The question of assassinations

I have a question about this. My hope is perhaps you all will help flesh this out for me. Is a Marine sniper on the battlefield from, lets say, two clicks out committing and assassination when he pulls the trigger on a enemy?

Notice the lack of a question mark.

In all candor, I think a cold civil war has begun. And those who worship Obama will do all in their power to maintain their savior. Hypocrisy be damned.

PatriotGal2257 on February 8, 2013 at 11:04 AM

Considering his history of demonizing his enemies with intent to destroy, coupled with his disregard for the Constitution and a compliant media, what is there to stop him?

The media will become anti-establishment again.

it’s the deliberate targeting of individual Americans suspected of treason by their government with no real check or due process to make sure we’re getting it right.

Treasonous toward the US of A or toward the government? Hussein believes he is the government.

antipc on February 8, 2013 at 9:41 AM

With Obama, you just know that secretly in his heart he interprets “treason” to mean any citizen against him and his administration of statists and America-haters.

If he happens to assassinate an actual enemy of the United States along the way, well, then that’s some unexpected icing on the cake.

The issue here isn’t collateral deaths of suspected American traitors in military attacks on AQ assets — it’s the deliberate targeting of individual Americans suspected of treason by their government with no real check or due process to make sure we’re getting it right.

FISA courts were created for these purposes.

Regardless, the Valerie Plame outing was sooooo much worse than this or the Benghazi attacks. Just ask any journalist.

The sun sets in the West every evening, the tax man will come a callin’, we’ll all die some day, and mainstream media will cover for any progressive/lib regardless of their actions (John Edwards isn’t such a bad guy after all)…guarantees in life.

This place is done for, we just get to be the ones that watch it as it burns to the ground. We had a good run.

…candidate Obama rejected the Bush adminstration’s position that it could detain U.S. citizens as enemy combatants without pressing charges while President Obama claims the right to kill U.S. citizens without laying charges? The guy may not be able to pass a budget but christ, give him credit for ingenuity and brass balls.

How much longer will it be before Obama himself unilaterally decides to drop bombs from drones, inside the United States, on those “crasy right wingers” at Waco or Ruby Ridge. My perception is the left coasts and MSM would be completely OK with it.
