Who funded these studies?

james you must still be in high school or something

what an ignorant opinion

you have convinced yourself that i somehow effect your life, but In don't.

@SPEARS I don’t know how that goes against what I am saying in terms of conservatives leaving the union

@james j, you just advanced to level 20!

Obama did go wild with drones 😳 just sayin...

@Beth he did he became a neo lib

No argument there... I was skeptical of the need to go into Afghanistan at the time - and we find out later that they agreed to turn bin Laden over to a neutral country for trial and we declined. I never thought that Iraq was justified. I am hoping to live long enough to see a non-apocalyptic, post-war human era. One can hope...

Although he was handed a war @Beth

@busillis they were independent studies

he didnt become a neo lib, he always was, everything was lip service. they then blamed the other side for not being able to do the things they promised you james. and in doing so they propagandized you to think that people like me diminshed your standard of living

@james j I live in the rural South with my total rejection of organized religion and my love a firearms and 100% support for all drug legalization.

@TaLoN132 Good luck with that. I am not so hopeful.

“Handed a war”... not the best way to describe it 🙈

@SPEARS also most of the problems of the Middle East were perpetuates by bush senior

he has been propagandized by the media and DNC, there is no hope for him. he will not read articles that provide a different perspective. he will reject all truths

Hoping does not imply expectation...

'Inherited' is better

@Beth we were in a war before he came into office . How would you word it

i don't know how to make it any more clear to you, that as a far right wing conservative, I hate republicans more than you do

Oddly enough I don't come into contact with many people that would disagree...

Just saying

@busillis that’s not the majority. Especially historically. It’s nice to see some liberal values permeate the Deep South. Which btw I also lived in

disagree with what busillis?

@SPEARS well you keep voting for them

Not you particularly but the south in general

Now that I've cleaned the mess of coffee I spilled on my table.

Those people are all just about dead

@busillis yeah because of recent that region started getting exposed to more liberal values , less dogmatic religion influences

I don’t know how to word it but handed a war doesn’t seem the best way to justify that he went wild with drones

@TaLoN132 All you can do is make sure your kids educate their kids. Your grandchildren's children will be the next hope to turn this alt-fact-driven reality around. Anyone alive right now is along for the ride, I fear.

@Beth I’m not excusing getting crazy with drones. I’m saying he didn’t start the war

A war that was unconstitutional in the first place, let's make that evidently clear.

Staunch atheism is a family tradition

james, I live in the dakotas. after the civil war, the american army sent Custer, an ex conferedate soldier and democrat, to pacify the native people. My family came a decade after a confederate did a light genocide of the native peoples here. My family had no part in the decision to do this, or participated in doing this. I am not going to defend or equate republican/conservative values to the south that started the democratic party and who people of color equate me to being similar to because I share the same skin color as Custer

@SPEARS also I read and vote conservative material all the time. It’s just spouting impulses and marketing to the Limbic system. It’s all the liberal are coming, there is a reason of the people that take Alex Jones serious to they all tend to be conservatives

false equivalency james

As is a disdain for government

Southern values are conservative values. Parties are irrelevant it’s just about liberals and conservatives. Back then republicans were the liberals and the democrats represented southern conservative values. As I said today’s liberal is tomorrow’s conservatives @SPEARS

Is it possible that the level of drone use did not appreciably increase under Obama as those types of decisions regarding tactics and such are not necessarily handled at that level. And, if that is the case, it appears that Obama "went crazy with drones" because he was more transparent about it?
