Interesting stuff. If the drone is on your land, you might have the right to shoot it. But what if it's on a neighbor's land, but filming you? Don't think there's much you could do about that.

I'm going to find the best Nerf projectile toys, and modify the arrows with a little weight and attached fishing line. If one flys over my place, the rotors are going to say hello to fishing line.

I want to see Will Smith, Jay Z, Eva Longoria, Scarlett Hohannson, or Bruce Springsteen speak about this. I want to know what they think about their man's lovefest of drones and the fact that they kill little kids and babies in the Middle East. Will they shed tears for those kids and babies like they did for the Newtown little ones?

Are you right-wingers upset about govt drones or private drone spying on citizens?

Would you be so upset if war criminals dubya and dickhead or serial felony tax evader Bishop Gecko had ruled that drones in US were to become legal?

Boutons once again assuming that everyone who doesn't worship Obama must blindly support neocons like Willard and Dubya..... nope, couldn't possibly be that some of us have principles...

Would they shoot down manned-helicopters doing the same thing?

Don't they simply uses satellite data from government satellites, or are you saying they have their own?

I don't get the whole "would you be mad if Bush, Cheney, and Willard supported drone attacks on civilians or the use of drones on civilians" argument. It's pretty much common knowledge that Willard supports the drone war and the use of them. Bush and Cheney also support drones too. Right wingers aren't blasting Obama and his love of drones. It's mainly libertarians and liberals that actually call Obama out on this shit. You can't lump libertarian Republicans with the Bush/Cheney/McCain neo-con Republicans. The comparisons just don't make sense.

Have you missed my point?

Obama is using them excessively, in non-combative setting.

This is criminal.

Didn't miss anyone's point. I was clearly saying it's laughable how so many liberals and out of touch celebs love Obama yet they know nothing about his policies. They just blindly obey and support him. I was also pointing out that you can't lump the libertarian Republicans with the neo-con Republicans. The neo-con Republicans are the reason why America is so fucked up on foreign policy and terrorism. America has done a lot of harm to itself and to other nations because of the way it has handled foreign affairs. Blowback is real.

They are liberal in many ways, as the term first came into use when democrats switched to republicans.

The anti-war left bashed Bush when he waterboarded people and his minions outed CIA operatives. Those same people praise Obama like a god or a celebrity even though he uses drones and continues to let Gitmo stay open. The anti-war left has basically left the building. Kinda sad but that's how America rolls.

Some Obama supporters are sheep. Well, let's be honest. A lot of them are sheep. The remaining few just ignore the comparisons and similarities to Bush so they can sleep at night.
