Keukasmallies Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Here is a great opportunity to slide Hill'ry into a politically safe (for Obama) position. No fear of her philosophy greatly impacting court decisions because she is the poster girl for situational ethics, policies, and general poll-defined responses. She could be the first Justice that based her decisions on a listening tour....yeah, I know, it didn't work here in NYS either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blzrul Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I am still laughing at that nitwit from KEN-tucky calling on Obama not to apply any political litmus tests. WHAT A BUNCH OF FREAKING HYPOCRITES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Frenkle Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 In all seriousness, whoever he nominates will almost certainly get confirmed, right? Or am I missing some angle here? Wackos will be more fightened than usual. Gun sales are sure to skyrocket again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PearlHowardman Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Gun sales are sure to skyrocket again... Speaking of guns, did President Obama authorize the murder (shooting) of two inept, hapless Somali pirates a few weeks ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PearlHowardman Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Speaking of guns, did President Obama authorize the murder (shooting) of two inept, hapless Somali pirates a few weeks ago? ...because while liberals are so obsessed with how the USA looks around the world re: supposed torture, we should also prove to the world that the President of the United States authorizing the killing (as in DEAD) of incompetent pirates was done ONLY as a last resort. An investigation is warranted and actually necessary. We should see what other (European) countries leaders have authorized pirate killings. Did George Bush authorize any *specific* killings during his Presidency like Obama did here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Speaking of guns, did President Obama authorize the murder (shooting) of two inept, hapless Somali pirates a few weeks ago? No, he authorized the shooting of 3 pirates who were threatening to kill their civilian hostage. If he had done nothing and let the hostage be killed, you right wingers would have been screaming about how it shows he can't even protect one American. Stop being a hypocrite. And what does that military action have to do with gun control? Or are you one of those wackos who think we need our guns to fight the American military?

And if Bush had done it you would be here screaming about how he killed black youths due to his racist nature. For the record, I would approve of any president making that order...assuming one did in this case anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Speaking of guns, did President Obama authorize the murder (shooting) of two inept, hapless Somali pirates a few weeks ago? Yes, he's clearly pro-gun and pro-murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blzrul Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Speaking of guns, did President Obama authorize the murder (shooting) of two inept, hapless Somali pirates a few weeks ago? It was actually THREE. Glad to see you know what's going on in the world. Had those inept hapless pirates beheaded the American captain I would LOVE to have heard your take on THAT. How this relates to replacing Justice Souter...who can tell. Buy all the damned guns you want. Obama doesn't want your guns. And hopefully all you nuts with guns will shoot each other. Just don't take out any innocent people in the crossfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PearlHowardman Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 No, he authorized the shooting of 3 pirates who were threatening to kill their civilian hostage. Are you absolutely certain about that? If so, was it absolutely necessary to kill the pirates? Were there NO other alternatives? Wouldn't a FULL investigation provide the answers?

Wouldn't a FULL investigation provide the answers? All reports were that one of the pirates put his gun toward the back of the American's head after an argument, and that is why and when the sharpshooters fired. In fact, there were reports that the sharpshooters had several good shots at the pirates and could have taken them out earlier but didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of hijackings in the open ocean. Do other countries have a similar Kill policy by their elected leaders? Who is the last US President to authorize something like this? Congress should fully investigate. The President of the United States authorizing the killing of ANYONE is a very serious issue and full disclosure is warranted. Why isn't Congress investigating? There's two dead people. Dead because President Obama authorized it. Very serious!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not have anything close to an accurate perception of what or who he is. I'd hate him too if I was as uninformed as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finknottle Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Like a few hundred thousand Iraqis maybe? Sure. Bring it. Geez, you know the left is intellectually bereft when you have to step in and make their arguments for them... The example to bring up is not the Iraq war, which anybody not frothing at the mouth will recognize had at its goal winning militarily and stabilizing the country, preferably with as little killing as possible. An on-point example is the question of who ultimately authorized the Hellfire missile operations - these were intended to kill high-value targets. The answer is Clinton and Bush.

So you would have no problem with the 60-70 million gun owners in this country shooting each other? in fact hope for it? What a strange twisted world you live in.
