Hurr Durr! Duh, wuh, hurr hurr! That was about what I got out of that. Try again.

Um. There's diary entries where Ollie talks about meeting with Noriega and funneling the contras guns, money, etc. to help take down local gov'ts or groups that we didn't like. He also acknowledged their drug smuggling and reliance on drug money to fill their coffers. So, yeah, Ollie North is NOT some innocent…

I don't get it, either. Just like I don't understand how people can really take Grover Norquist and his tax pledge seriously. He came up with it when he was 12. Seriously. I'm not kidding. The political ideology formed by a 12-year old is a major force in our nation. How fucking pathetic...

Holy shit! I've known a little about North and how much of a douche he was, probably still is, but I didn't know about that.

Exactly. Thank you!

People can like what they want, I have no problem with that. However, I reserve the right to say that these artworks are lame. These works remind me a lot of Shepard Fairey's work, and I have little to no respect for Fairey's "pieces."

Maybe because it's mostly just art via copyright infringement. This is even weaker than Shepard Fairey's shit.

"This is a knee-jerk reaction to a very isolated danger widely publicized for shock value. It's a political tool at best and a witch-hunt at worst and even if the ethical implications of playing judge, jury and virtual executioner to a wide-spanning group of faceless convicts-turned-victims doesn't bother you, the…

Two words: Stun baton. Not only can it easily break bones, like someone's arm, leg or skull, but if the blunt force doesn't knock them out, then the several thousand volts of electricity coursing through their body certainly will. If distance is a prerogative, then consider a taser.

Yeah, that's kind of the point. FFS people, jayroni's post is seething with sarcasm.

Like, Art Bell? Or maybe Alex Jones?

Also, I've been around long enough to know that a lot of the local police, DEA, courts, etc. are just as corrupt and morally devoid as most of the criminal organizations they pursue. This isn't irate paranoia, nor delusional machinations. This is merely observation.

What scares me is that the USA military has been allowing for local police agencies to access and use drones for their raids. The first incident was for a raid on a man from North Dokota who was accused of stealing 6 cows. So, yeah, it's not like they only use it during intense Ruby Ridge type situations.

"supposedly Iran has figured out the codes to control our drones"

Wow... Do you actually believe that? If so, that's a very sadly ignorant viewpoint and so blatantly disingenuous, heavily laden with hyperbole, and such a wild misinterpretation that you might want to consider a career as a FOX News commentator.

Oliver North is an idiot and a massive crook. Oliver North, believe it or not, directly planned and executed a lot of the missions that created massive amounts of turmoil in the Middle East and South America. Not just with the Iran-Contra affair, but also the invasion of Grenada and the '86 bombing of Libya. He was…

Don't forget Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop.

Honestly, I blame a nation where, when it comes to child rearing, the inmates are running the asylum. I see kids pushing and ordering their late-30's/early-40's parents around, talking back, and generally saying some pretty nasty things to their parents that would have gotten me a whooping. Stuff like, "stop being a…

Two words:

Um. Tax incentives in the USA. As well as various rights. It's why gay marriage is such a big deal. If your gf is seriously injured, you won't be allowed to visit her. Family will, but since you're not her legal spouse, you cannot make medical and legal decisions on her behalf nor would you even be able to see her…
