(302 posts)worthwhile to reject the democratic notion that we should bomb wedding parties in other countries? To reject the democratic belief that we must dismantle our civil liberties in this country? How democratic is it to have a pay for play system where the elite buy all of this power over our lives. Libertarians seem to be cast as the greatest evil in existence and that amazes me. It simply amazes me how people on this forum are either silent or cheer when we murder innocent people because they gathered in large groups.
If we are going to use these blanket insults against any who profess to be or support aspects of the libertarian, I say i should be able to ask any democrat why they believe it's right to kill innocent 10 year olds who are simply celebrating a wedding in Pakistan. Fair is fair right?
The left and the right bludgeon those who do not march in lockstep yet neither side tries to fix what is broken. As long as President Obama is bombing those wedding parties, it's ok. Or, if it isn't ok, we'll just keep quiet.
Your democracy looks pretty crappy right now, forgive me if I look for another way. I don't want the blood of our soldiers on my conscience anymore, I don't want the blood of innocent men, women and children on my conscience anymore, I don't want indefinite detention to be in my vocabulary anymore, I don't want police state and united states to be used together anymore. Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, and look out Syria, here we come. President Obama isn't responsible for starting this, but he is continuing it. I expected him to be better, why am I the jerk now that he really isn't showing to be better? now, he'll arm Al-qaeda affiliates in much the same way George HW Bush did in the lates 1980's. I wonder when this will turn around on us?
