    Nonsensical cowardice with no basis in fact.

  2. And we are wasting money on this why????? on Journalist Gets Blasted By the Pentagon's Pain Ray — Twice · · Score: 1

    Leave it to the Pentagon to waste money on any weapon system.

    Nonsense. The Electoral College is sheer brilliance. Voters do not elect the President and never have. The several States elect the President which is what the Electoral College represents. Voters elect the representatives in Congress. Congress represents "the People".

  4. Here's a novel idea on State Legislatures Attempt To Limit TSA Searches · · Score: 1

    How about simple enforcing the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution??

  5. Re:How is a having a passport a privilege??????? on Damaged US Passport Chip Strands Travelers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The word entitled is used because travel is a right and has been recognized as a right as long as rights have been recognized. The right to travel is one of those rights covered under the 9th amendment.

  6. Re:Yes, and let private companies do it instead on FAA Bill Authorizes Surveillance Drones Over US · · Score: 2

    Actually, it's reasonable, knowledgeable and aware citizens this country needs. Ron Paul isn't insane, 98% of Americans are.

    Miniscule compared to the fiscal waste that takes place in the DoD.

    "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." Dwight D. Eisenhower

    Defense is not the #1 job of the Federal government, it is just one of it's responsibilities (establishing Justice and insuring domestic tranquility come before providing for a common defense) and worrying about Iran has nothing to do with defending the nation.

    Take your Thorazine before you hurt yourself and then re-read the US Constitution.

    Uh no we are not in the middle of a war or two? Have you received a draft notice?

  22. Re:Holy crap! on Iranian TV Shows Downed US Drone · · Score: 1

    It sure was a spy drone. Would you know what one looks like if you saw it? Ever worked on one? Ever operated one? Those large things standing up are landing gear nacelles. Nor is it the wrong color if it is for daytime operations. Radar absorbing material has no specific color. Oh, that grill thing on top? It's called an air intake and not knowing what sits behind it makes any assumption on what it's made out of total assumption. Imagination is not reality nor does reality typically match imagination.

  24. Re:Poking / Probing Iran's air defenses . . . ? on Iran's Military Claims To Have Downed US Surveillance Drone · · Score: 1

    The assumption that Iran is telling the truth and that the US is not is a pretty good assumption. The assumption that the US has not made a threat of war against Iran is quite bogus as the US perpetrates actual acts of war against Iran (and anyone else who is deemed a threat) weekly. This latest incident is just another example of that. Were the situation reversed, what do you think the US would be saying?
