“The United States usually pays up to $2,500 for civilians killed in lawful operations such as air strikes.”
The Brits are even cheaper, the story says, doling out as little as $210 for accidentally killing an Afghani civilian.
Question is, how much do you think the DHS or the Pentagram or local law enforcement would pay you if it accidentally killed a family member during “lawful operations”?
Nevermind all that. I’m sure you will be richly recompensed by Janet Napolitano. Afghan’s, on the other hand, are just “little brown people” as my military friend’s describe them.
Sessions: “Do you think that you could act without congress to initiate a ‘no fly zone’ in Syria without congressional approval?”
Panetta: “…Our goal would be to seek international permission and we would come to the congress and ‘inform’ you and determine how best to approach this. Whether or not we would want to get permission from the congress… I think those are issues we would have to discuss as we decide what to do here.”
Of course, whenever someone attempts to hold one of these totalitarians to the confines of the Constitution, they quickly come up with an ‘out’. The Pentagram’s Press Secretary, George Little, argued that the Constitution doesn’t apply in the Syria case because “The President has the authority under the Constitution to act to defend this country.”
Huh?
How does implementing a no-fly zone (an act of war) on a tiny country with no navy constitute “defending the country”?”
Apparently the logical stretch that a unilateral presidential order to bomb Syria is somehow defending Amerika is a sufficient explanation for congress (who has better things to do like executing their insider trades and otherwise felating satan). Apparently excuses like “defending the country” and WMD 1.0 (Iraqi style) and WMD 2.0 (Iranian style) are enough to get the medicated, semi-lucid, diabetic and bloodthirsty Amerikan populace to ignore all this quaint, silly “republic” nonsense. I mean, America is “exceptional” right? And nothing is quite as exciting to Amerikans as a television war where “we” liberate a bunch of little brown people by turning their country into rubble… especially now that the NFL season is over.
As a Couty and State delegate, I get emails from GOP candidates. Here’s an email repsonse I sent to one:
Hello Mr. Weir,
Thank you for your email. As a County and State delegate, I feel it is my responsibility to vet the GOP candidates. I have a couple of questions for you that will help me to understand your ideological and philosophical foundation.
Question 1:
Do you believe that the criminalization of drug use is in the best interests of society or do the costs of enforcement, prosecution and incarceration outweight the benefits?
Question 2:
If you were presented with a mandate by a Federal Agency that you believed was unconstitutional, would you be willing to nullify that mandate by refusing to abide by it? Or is it your view that nullification is impractical and such disputes should be sorted out by the courts?
Question 3:
Do you support a State law that would sequester access to video, taken in a public setting of alleged police brutality, from the general public until the officers or deputies involved have their disciplinary hearing?
Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond.
“Bioethicists” argue that 2 years olds can be aborted as they are morally irrelevent and might be a burden on the collective.
The article, published in the Journal of Medical Ethics, says newborn babies are not “actual persons” and do not have a “moral right to life”. The academics also argue that parents should be able to have their baby killed if it turns out to be disabled when it is born.
The journal’s editor, Prof Julian Savulescu, director of the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, said the article’s authors had received death threats since publishing the article. He said those who made abusive and threatening posts about the study were “fanatics opposed to the very values of a liberal society”.
John Stossel, the last libertarian with a show on the FAUX network, interviewed Adolph Cheney’s Ribbentrop (aka John Bolton).
After Bolton tried to explain how questioning the empire somehow sullies the honor of Amerika’s noble poet warriors who are out there fighting for all our freedumbs (aka KBR’s bottom line), he was booed and heckled.
The Bill, proposed by a former cop (Rep. Mark Barker, R-Colorado Springs) and written by the Fraternal Order of Police, is making it’s way through the Colorado State legislature…
Disciplinary hearings for police officers accused of wrongdoing — and possibly even video evidence of their wrongdoing — would be closed to the public under a bill making its way through the Colorado legislature.
