"Showboating", huh? Whatever.<br>
<br>
The vast amount of drone strikes overseas have either been against
people on their kill list going about their day, not currently
involved in a violent attack, or they have been against people
they can't identify but that they are reasonably sure are
terrorists because of their associations. Again, not taking them
out while they are actively engaged in combat, just assassinating
them wherever they happen to find them, doing whatever they happen
to be doing at that moment. Doing the dishes, blam, dead, along
with who knows how many people nearby. No due process, no vetting
of evidence, no jury of their peers, no idea even what criteria
our President uses to determine who gets to die that day.<br>
<br>
Nobody I've seen is saying that we can't use drones, even on
American soil, against people actively involved in combat. The
problem is that that isn't what they are being used for.<br>
<br>
If you want to wish this away as some kind of stunt because he's a
Paul or because he's a Republican or because you don't like his
haircut, then you're part of the problem. Our President is out of
control with these assassinations, and our police departments are
out of control in their militarization. Drop the damned Us vs.
Them crap, please.<br>

there be a disclaimer with this “purist’s” showboating?
Where does shooting someone in self-defense, or those
occasions when law enforcement officers are forced by a
critically dangerous situation (for example a gun battle)
to shoot to kill come into this equation? I am sure that
Rand will zoon right to the top of the list of right wing
