They had no problem killing terrorist when Bush was President but now that Obama is, they want all terrorist to have trials and be captured no matter how many soldiers die to get them. It's the republican way.

He has been right about almost every single policy issue of the last 40 years.

You ever seen this 1988 video where he calls out Poppa Bush for the CIA drug running?


Ron Paul: George Bush "Deep Into" CIA Drug Trafficking - YouTube

Or this one from 2007 where he calls out how the drug war and the death penalty are inherently racist?


Ron Paul Calls for End to Drug War - YouTube

Or this one from 1988 where he said basically the same thing?


Video From 1988 Proves Ron Paul is not a Racist! - YouTube

Nice. Blame the kid for his having a sh*tty father.

Like a young kid had any choice into where his father drug him. I'm sure if your dad said "Hey, we're moving," you would stand your ground and say "No, I'm staying right here. You can't make me"

People like you are absolutely disgusting.

Who is "they?" I'm not a Republican.

Did you watch any of those videos I posted?

Libertarians were vehemently opposed to extrajudicial killings under Bush just like they're opposed to them under Obama.

Educate yourself. Please.

And I love how you conveniently left out the fact that ALL the links I posted in my OP were links to progressive/left-leaning sites. TRUE progressives are beside themselves.

Obviously you're not a true progressive.

First of all, we should stay out of the affairs of other nations and work on developing our own resources (all of the above, of course) so we do not find ourselves in a mess like in the past decade. Until then, though, it's bombs away as far as I am concerned. I could not care less if the losers who get bombed are American citizens. Don't try to kill your people and you can sleep easier at night. As for the 16 yo, well, that is prime terrorist age for a Muslim radical. No loss. An ounce of prevention, actually.

The only reason you righties are getting all dewy-eyed over these dead terrorists is because you can't resist whining about Obama. We see right through you.

You're absolutely sickening. Revolting.

Killing a 16 year-old American citizen (born in Denver) is fine with you. No crime committed. No evidence of terrorism. Just kill him because he's brown.

You sound like Cheney having a bad day.

I'm not a "rightie." Get your facts straight.

I guess you missed the "leftie" links I posted:

You've GOT to be kidding. Obama has had 5 years to get out of Bush's moronic wars, and drones are HIS favorite toy, but he's not to blame in the least?

Perhaps you want to explain why Obama hasn't cut Defense spending, when the vast majority of Democrat voters and even a significant majority of Republican voters want it drastically cut? Defense Spending Cuts Popular With Voters: Poll

You sure attack people a lot. Is this a "hider" name or did your real name get banned? Nobody takes you seriously because of your attitude. So it's cool if you want to follow Ron Paul like a robot, as others do, but try to think about things for yourself instead of just attacking people.

Angry, defensive post to follow from you, I'm sure. Hope you feel better.

I understand you are just following your party, but Obama inherited a mess. We are out of Iraq and will be Afghanistan. Not so easy to clean up after a disaster as you would like to think. But you are a good republican.
