What could be more morally satisfying than incinerating brown skinned families over in Pakistan as a way of demonstrating the superiority of Jeebus?

Wow, I'm impressed. It is always gratifying when someone posts something that reflects a degree of rationality and intelligence.

K.

You know, Kirata, I thought for a moment that maybe my words were over the top, maybe a bit too strong. But then I remembered how one of GWB's generals was caught talking about how this was in fact a holy war, that "our God was bigger than their God" and was only fired due to the embarrassment he caused.

I thought about how Eric Prince, the CEO of Blackwater is convinced that he is fighting a religious crusade against Islam, and how his forces have committed murder and senseless slaughter, even to the point of gunning down government officials in Afghanistan- without any repercussions.

About how many of our unmanned drones blow up buildings without any way of knowing who or what is inside, and the reports of entire families being incinerated mistakenly.

So on balance, it seems pretty reasonable to say that America is incinerating families in Pakistan to show the superiority of Jeebus.

Sadly so.

The Obama administration has granted secret permission to the CIA to carry out more indiscriminate drone missile strikes in Pakistan, even as protests over civilian casualties caused by the attacks continue to grow.

Officials revealed this week that the US intelligence agency is operating under rules that allow it to target suspected “militants” in Pakistan based upon “pattern of life” analyses, without even ascertaining their identity. For the most part, they acknowledge, the names of those assassinated with Hellfire missiles fired from Predator and the larger Reaper drones are never known.

Well, Kirata took care of one of them.

Let me handle another.

Of course, Obama is also the American President to authorize the assassination of an American citizen without due process, in clear violation of the Constitution.

I guess "Jeebus" is one of Obama's heroes?

I have drawn a total of 3 weeks of unemployment in my life. I have spent many hours crawling around grouting tile, painting baseboards, laying oak and bamboo flooring in my rental houses, which I bought with my own down payment money. I pay property taxes, pay my dues for my Homeowners Association... and some stupid cocksucker... has the fucking nerve to say I'm a Marxist Democrat who hates America and supports terrorists

Okay, okay, take it easy, no need to be so sensitive about being a Republican. [:D]

When 98% of layoffs were the result of Mr Richie Rich, business owner, purging his employee roles of high paying whtie males in favor of creating his own little chinese labor force of white, lesser paid women, I don't think government is the only source of problems.But government is the only thing 'we the people' can vote out. Unless we are a shareholder, we have no say in how the corpratocracy is run..

Actually, I feel exactly the same way about Obama doing this shit as I did about Bush;

What Obama is doing in Pakistan/ Afghanistan is illegal and wrong; whatever I agree with him on domestic affairs, he is doing a miserable job with regard to our foreign policy.

What his motivation for it is beyond me, but the end result is the same- we blithely incinerate brown skinned foreigners with abandon, not caring much who is guilty or innocent, all on the flimsy pretext of "Keeping America safe".
