Military age males count as militants, unless there is posthumous evidence proving them innocent. So, after you are dead, you must then prove innocence.
Ok, I rate this vid as anti-obama probably anti American, and certainly not reliable. ( though probably more reliable than anything Obama puts out.... but I'm not fond of his relationship with the truth. I think he's never actually made it's acquaintance... )
In any event, my caption for the above is....
"the odds on me admitting it's my fault."
Fairness insists I give Obama credit for continuing the Bush era drone strikes. He also gets full credit for telling us the truth Before the election that he would go to war with Pakistan.
And it's nice to have clarification on Obama's policy about militants. You are guilty unless you prove you weren't, back when you were still alive.
you'll note no definition of "military age". In the US, that ranges from 14 to over 70.
"Operators at CIA headquarters in Langley in suburban Virginia can fly the drones and fire missiles from them and watch on video as they explode on computer or television screens thousands of miles away from the battlefield or target. Critics claim that drones are creating a 'Playstation' mentality to killing," referring to the popular Sony video game console. "The Predator stuff gets to be very, very personal," a former U.S. official involved with drones told the Los Angeles Times. "You're basically seeing a person and the people around them, and you know that in 20 or 30 seconds they very well could be dead, if you give the order."

Blame Obama. Obama this, Obama that. I doubt he is capable of putting his golf shoes on the correct feet without written instructions and some diagrams. Or do you mean 'Obama Administration'? Big difference.
Crony capitalism or as you say corporatism wouldn't be anywhere near the problem if the fed govt wasn't in control of such VAST sums of money. Less power means less control means less reason for big business to lobby foe special treatment. Means less corruption.
When fed govt controls medical care, retirement savings, energy, food subsidies, oil, etc, the ALL related concerns are going to go after their "share" of the big brother pie.

"For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear. For a servant when he reigneth, and a fool when he is filled with meat; for an odious woman when she is married, and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress." — PROV. XXX. 21-22-23.
Three things make earth unquiet And four she cannot brook The godly Agur counted them And put them in a book — Those Four Tremendous Curses With which mankind is cursed; But a Servant when He Reigneth Old Agur entered first. An Handmaid that is Mistress We need not call upon. A Fool when he is full of Meat Will fall asleep anon. An Odious Woman Married May bear a babe and mend; But a Servant when He Reigneth Is Confusion to the end.
His feet are swift to tumult, His hands are slow to toil, His ears are deaf to reason, His lips are loud in broil. He knows no use for power Except to show his might. He gives no heed to judgment Unless it prove him right.
Because he served a master Before his Kingship came, And hid in all disaster Behind his master’s name, So, when his Folly opens The unnecessary hells, A Servant when He Reigneth Throws the blame on some one else.
His vows are lightly spoken, His faith is hard to bind, His trust is easy broken, He fears his fellow-kind. The nearest mob will move him To break the pledge he gave — Oh, a Servant when he Reigneth Is more than ever slave!

Sweden air dropped 800 teddy Bears over BelaRussia on July 4 to protest the human rights, governmental harsh rule, and poor economic trade conditions..... (causing the expulsion of diplomats and the closing of embassies) I wonder if they are free to buzz our Capital.
So Obama is bragging about "bailing out" the auto industry, claiming Romney would have simply let them go bankrupt. GM however DID go bankrupt, and is currently trading at less then half the price for BO to break even for the American people. Now he says he wants to do the same thing across all industries!
part of me still believes that a change in the White House will actually change the stink of the game..... the other part is buying ammo, guns, gas, and food - just like Y2K ..... (and I REALLY hope it turns out to be the BIG NOTHING that was)
Jews are slowly and quietly waking up to the fact that Obama is not their friend. Change is difficult over lifelong choices such as switching from Coke to Pepsi. The Democratic Party has been the brand for most Jews but this is increasingly being exposed as a dead end. Change is now possible as the Republican Party, led by future President elect Romney and Paul Ryan now represent the best interests of American Jews. Just as Obama tossed Churchill's bust out of the White House because of his disdain for Great Britain, the current occupant of the White House's sympathies lie with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood over the only bright light in the Middle East: Israel. The following article is from PJ Media and I encourage all Jewish Badweb brothers and sisters to read it. -----------------------------
quote:
Once the social stigma of voting Republican is removed, there will be more Jews willing to come out of the political closet, and others unable to admit it publicly but who will vote Republican nonetheless.
Obama's Continuing Jewish Problemby Abraham H. Miller.
When Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz proclaimed Obama’s support for Israel in a Pennsylvania synagogue, she was visibly shocked by the loud and vocal dissent from the audience. Unlike the sanitized pro-Obama Jewish events in Florida, where Jews who opposed him were prevented from entering, the Pennsylvania event was open to all.
Wasserman Schultz apparently so believes her own rhetoric and has been so insulated from the political change sweeping the Jewish community that for a few moments she seemed sufficiently shaken to be unable to continue her speech.
One group that has had its pulse on the political leanings of the Jewish community is the Republican Jewish Coalition. Playing on the theme of buyer’s remorse — Jews who voted for Obama but will not again — the RJC has been running ads and videos with Jews who supported Obama in 2008 and are vocal about their intent not to do so now.
The Jewish Democrats will quickly point out that no one expects the majority of the Jewish community to vote for Mitt Romney. But they fail to see that this election will, by all current indications, be close. A predicted near twenty-percent shift in the Jewish vote in critical states like Florida and Ohio can devastate Obama’s electoral vote count.
It is no accident that while Mitt Romney was on his way to Israel, Obama signed a security agreement giving Israel preferential access to American arms and munitions. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak was quick to note how supportive the Obama administration was of Israel, and liberal Jews immediately seized on that as if it were something other than the expected response of a small country dependent for its military hardware on a large country.
More important to discerning observers of the Middle East has been Obama’s flawed foreign policy in the region. It is no accident that Dennis Ross, veteran Middle East negotiator and 2008 Obama campaigner, will not be on the campaign trail this time. And Ross’ assistant, Aaron David Miller, just published an illuminating article in Foreign Policy noting that Obama’s view of the world does not include the scenario of an Israel surrounded by Arab states bent on its destruction. Rather, Obama’s sympathies are derived from his leftist political socialization, and he does not see a concession that Israel should not be forced to make to the Arabs.
The exclusion of Israel from the anti-terrorism conference the Obama administration sponsored in Turkey, and the conference’s refusal to acknowledge that Israeli civilians murdered in Israel at the hands of Islamic terrorists are terrorist victims, further underscores the leftist, pro-Muslim ideology of this administration. This is why its Department of State and press secretary are incapable of enunciating the words “Jerusalem” and “Israel’s capital” in the same sentence. Mitt Romney had absolutely no difficulty announcing what every Israeli knows: Jerusalem is Israel’s capital.
Jerusalem historically was never a divided city until the Arabs captured it in 1948 and prevented Jews from having access to their holy sites and burial places. East Jerusalem is as much an historical fiction as was East Berlin.
Obama’s thinking on Israel was best articulated by Thomas Friedman in a recent column that is as fatuous as it is banal. The object of Friedman’s outrage is Mitt Romney’s trip to Israel. Friedman characterizes Romney’s trip as one of pandering to Jews for money — and then quips that Romney should have taken it to Vegas, where there is more than sufficient Jewish money and equally compelling photo opportunities. Friedman increasingly has fallen into the leftist routine of wrapping Jews in stereotypes, mostly about money.
Friedman goes on to argue for more American pressure on Israel, noting that the major obstacle to peace is neither Palestinian intransigence nor Palestinian terrorism but Israeli settlements. Someone needs to remind Friedman that terrorism existed long before the first settlement, and Israel’s total removal of settlements from Gaza brought rockets and missiles, not peace. A similar outcome would await Israel’s departure from the West Bank.
By experience and socialization, the Jews Obama surrounded himself with in his Hyde Park bastion of rarified, elite liberalism are Jews who think like Friedman. But these Jews are hardly representative of the views on Israel of the majority of Jews for whom Israel is an issue. These incestuous political contacts are what have and continue to shape Obama’s thinking on the Middle East.
Israel itself, however, is only the most observable aspect of Obama’s Jewish problem, for as Noah Pollak has so aptly noted, Jews, like other voters, are first and foremost Americans and have the same needs and problems as other Americans. They are beset by a declining economy, fewer opportunities for their children, and an administration that never saw a new government bureaucracy that didn’t need to be funded.
Political preference itself is a function of the interaction of a number of factors. Among these, as I have argued in the scholarly literature, is ethnicity acting as a catalyst that heightens and reinforces those factors. But political socialization is not political destiny, and as some Jews change their partisan preference, so too will both their Jewish friends and neighbors. Once the social stigma of voting Republican is removed, there will be more Jews willing to come out of the political closet, and others unable to admit it publicly but who will vote Republican nonetheless.

I am so fed up with this swaggering, pimp-walking, arrogant Communist. He is destroying America with his Socialist, dictatorial fiats and EPA proclaimed “laws”. Take your race-baiting, Ameriphobe, Religiphobe swaggering self back to the south side of Chicago. We’ve had ENOUGH!!
why cant politics be more like the olympics -if your idea, philosophy and government cant compete - you don't medal - you don't place - you don't make the cut for the team.
Blasterd, I object to the term "pimp-walking". I'm not sure what you mean by it, but it sounds awfully insensitive, and I'd like you to retract it. Thank you.
No arguments with the rest of your statement. A little harsh. but it's not like saying Obama causes cancer. ( while Obama's campaign will tell you Romney Does. )
"Once the social stigma of voting Republican is removed, there will be more ...people... willing to come out of the political closet, and others unable to admit it publicly but who will vote Republican nonetheless."
with all due respect to you Patrick my Buell brother I am not politically correct, retract it no- explain it no problem, I just think he struts like a pimp. just my opinion
After a lifelong brainwashing by the Democratic Party, it was exceedingly difficult for me to change and vote Republican. Once I got over this hurdle, the blinders came off and easily came to the conclusion that Conservatism is the only way to save the country and liberate people. Several Badwebbers here are struggling with their blind adherence to the Democratic Party. I hope they find the courage to change as it ain't easy.
Oh. Here I thought he struts like Mussolini. Looks down his nose just like him.
I do suggest you not use such language, though. While simply disagreeing with his policies can get you branded as racist, using any terms that the racist left thinks all the time ( even if they are completely innocent ) will certainly get the race card pulled on you. Those folk ( lefties ) have a serious issue with a condition called "projection" where what they feel is assumed to be the way you feel. They are racist, so you must be. They want power, so you must want power, etc.
They assume "food stamp president" is racist because THEY believe blacks are on food stamps. They certainly believe blacks are pimps... so your statement is a red flag for them.
Political correctness? the New McCarthyism. Like the New Normal. It sucks.
I'm doing a pimp roll out here on the salt flats with a yarmulka on my coco (messianic jewish version with a St John's cross on it) in Obama's (dis)honor.
Now, let's see, Who was it who pushed for this to happen? Did some US President get the old dictator thrown out? ( the peaceful one who kept treaties ) If I could only remember.... Had something to do with this thread....
