Our operations in Somalia--which even US government officials admit may be counterproductive in the long run--are the latest case in point.
In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

We finally have a proactive president...
This is pro-active idiocy.
Iraq
Somalia
Mali
Mexico
Indonesia (?)
Pakistan
we, the shining city on the hill, are killing people in all these countries and probably more. Who knows what our anti-drug efforts are doing in central America?
And our President runs around with his secret list. He won't tell anyone who's on it, but if your name shows up, you're dead.
For you Dem progs who think that's OK, imagine President Jeb Bush with that power in four years.
Obomba is "pro-active" like a warlord is "pro-active".
Since you feel that's "awesome".
Have a read of Glenn Greenwald's latest article.
He talking about you.
