The three biggest threats to America are liberals, liberals, liberals.
Laura Murphy, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Washington legislative office, said the administration should "produce the legal rationale that allows him to unilaterally decide when drones can be used ... and we would like him to clarify why he feels he has the authority to use drones outside of the battlefield and how he's going to constrain that authority." Anytime the ACLU thinks it's a bad idea...then it's probably a GOOD idea.
They don't.
Quite frankly, if they are enemy combatants (which all 4 were), then I don't have a problem. You have waived your rights as an American if you have plotted to kill innocent Americans. Ultimately, the question needs to be answered as to what the difference is between using drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, etc. and doing the same thing here. The answer isn't simple, but it does need to start with the planning of activities designed to kill, hurt or otherwise induce terror on civilians.
"They'll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject those voices." Seems to me that the president may have been listening to some sort of briefing that there was a storm that was about to hit...of course, he would deny it and Jay Carney (appropriate last name for this barker) would tell us that the president only gets the news when the "common folk" do.
"parents and union leaders who say the closings will disrupt communities and put children in danger with longer walks through troubled areas." Hey parents, who do you think is responsible for those "troubled" areas and disrupted communities?
Reminds me of some tenants I had a few years back...we're here, we can do what we want, you can't make us leave. After 4 months of nonpayment of rent, $15k of damage to the interior of the house and two court cases later, they were finally "escorted" from the premises, while I received exactly $0. What a pathetic society with a pathetic loser as its "leader".
And through it all, there will be no accountability from this administration.
You missed the point of the article completely. The article is about the sanctity of life.
Interesting that for 2500 years, the Hippocratic oath containing the words "I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art." was just fine, but by 1989 those words had been taken out by all but 3 medical schools in the US. Welcome to the decline of western civilization.
