"Some People Just Need To Be Killed"

[sevin]

I logged into facebook and my brother had posted this article: Assassin-in-Chief (http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/278845/assassin-chief-kevin-d-williamson?page=1#.ToZpsjA0-gA.facebook). This conversation was below it:

Neo-con: I am a conservative and I agree with killing the piece of shit. As a matter of fact I would kill every terrorist foreign or domestic. The only difference is I wouldn't advertise it I would just do it.

My awesome mom: “First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.” -Martin Niemoeller

My brother: I understand the sentiment Dan, just think it sets a dangerous precedent for the President to decide something like that unilaterally. Now if military command was looking for various people who are considered dangerous leaders, that's different. I get the 'cut off the head' kind of strategy... but in the right hands...

Neo-con: Agree. And don't believe for a minute he did it on his own. Although he wants everyone to think he did I doubt it. His problem is he can't shut his mouth. Some people just need to be killed and the American public doesn't need to know how it happens, why or by whom. As long as they are dead.

This is what we're up against.

[smartguy911]

you should have said what if he himself is labeled a terrorist by the government? no trial?

[playboymommy]

That is a terrible statement.

[truelies]

Doesn't work- these people NEVER can grasp the idea that THEY could ever be a target for State Sanctioned Murder. This sort will not see the light until it is their home or auto targeted for a civil forfeiture, until they get a tax lien slapped on every asset & must prove they don't owe or come across a cop having a pissy day who just NEEDS to taser/shot/beat senseless a civilian and get the treatment only to be told by all of their neoconned friends "you must have done something to deserve it. officer friend would never strike without a valid legal reason"

[truelies]

BTW as to the 'quiet murder' approach- it seems to work.................all those bio-warfare scientists dead after the anthrax attacks and little to no public stir.

[donnay]

The sad thing is that many of the people claim to be christian--the sadder part is a lot of alleged Christian leaders agree to this murder.

It isn't self-defense when you unilaterally strike! It's the same equivalent as shooting someone in the street because YOU thought they may attack and harm you, just because the person gave you a dirty look.

These type people...unless you can clearly get through to them, their minds are completely made up because they have been fed a daily diet of lies!! The only solution is to try to get to them to see that government has lied to them in the past and they continue to lie in the present.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it..............The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

President Obama touted the killing of U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki in a drone strike in Yemen September 30, but Congressman Ron Paul has raised constitutional questions of whether the President can become judge, jury and executioner — in essence, an assassination — for alleged criminals.

The silver lining in all of this is that it literally forces the Constitution to the forefront of the debate. Just like a large ship, it is going to be hard to turn it quickly. The debate needs to happen. We eventually will turn the ship. Be vigilant and educate the "fuck yeah" Americans. We have lots of work to do.

[Kimmie]

I am sure there are many people the government had killed without disclosing what they did. In this case, the killing of a terrorist news is supposed to make the OBama administration looks good. Don't you think it odd that Obama Administration succeeds in killing two notorious terrorists in a span of a couple of months. something that Bush Administration failed to do for years.

Reminds me of the line in the movie, Enemy of the State: Carla Dean: "Well who's gonna monitor the monitors of the monitors?"

[Travlyr]

If we kill them all, then will we finally be safe?

[NYgs23]

Lunacy. People really believe the state is like a little god. And why would a god need oversight? Your brother is also incorrect to suggest it would be okay for the military to do it. It's not okay for any part of the government to just "mark" someone. We have civil liberties protections precisely to prevent this kind of thing.

[ConvertedRepublican]

You know, when I see all those docs on the History Channel about Nazi Germany, I have to laugh at the armchair historians who somehow think that all those Germans just made pledges to the dark side, sold thier souls to the Devil and loved evil.
No, the sad fact is, those German people thought what they were doing was right, patriotic. Only until they woke up in the rubble did they realize what had happened.
There is nothing worse than good people hookwinked into believing what they are doing is good, when in fact it contains the seeds of pure evil.
How, after almost 70 years after that alful regime was destroyed, can Americans applaud the same kind of evil the Germans embraced?

[Anti Federalist]

If we kill them all, then will we finally be safe?

Well, since the logic seems to be, "they attacked us for our freedoms" so we'll take away all freedom, it stands to reason that if we kill everybody, then we'll really be safe.

[Anti Federalist]

That.

[ronpaulitician]

Makes sense. Once the ten remaining terrorists are killed, we'll be able to move on to gang members, drug users, flag burners, and homeless people.

[Southron]

Didn't DHS say that people with RP bumper stickers were possible terrorists? Should they be assassinated? In fact RP should bring that up in the next debate when he is questioned on it.

How?

Repetitive police/detective/law/emergency TV shows and blow-em-up movie images that justify death, destruction, and privilege by authorities. The sit-down-shut-up-and-listen lessons taught in our government schooling system to obey people of authority or those in uniform. The constant fear mongering by 'news' media. The pride of "Be All You Can Be" even if it means turning you into a killing machine. The sweetheart deal of 'good money & benefits' if you join the regime. At the heart of it all is the inflation tax by the fiat money system which enslaves the people by making debtors out of everyone & forces everyone pay for the shenanigans whether one agrees or not.

That's how I see it. And it will only end when the majority embrace the rule of law, honesty, truth, and justice.

[affa]

How?

This. Our media is reprehensible. The story of 'the hero cop who goes above and beyond the law to stop the criminal that was otherwise unstoppable' is told dozens, if not hundreds of times a day on all the various procedurals on first run and syndication. It's told in various forms, but the message is always the same -- the law inhibits our protectors from properly doing their job, and they can only save us if they are allowed to operate above the law.

There are some stories in which the innocent are presumed guilty, but they are rarer. And they almost always get justice in the end... they never get executed by accident, because someone will work tirelessly in their defense.

[pcosmar]

I too have not had any luck in trying to cure stupid. :( I hang my head in shame.

No shame.
Ignorance can be corrected. Stupidity is terminal.

[AuH20]

Technically, this meme is correct. Robert Heinlein was right about alot of things.


Anyone who clings to the historically untrue -- and -- thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never solves anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler would referee. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor; and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.

Let this sink in. Kill or be killed. Obviously, I don't want to go any further, for fear of inciting the wrath of our benevolent Big Brother. LOL

Absolutely. I've met Germans that until the day they died, believed that the choice they had in 1933 was to vote for either the Communists or the Nazis, and they voted for the Nazis as the lesser of two evils, and then seemed surprised that evil resulted.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.

[Travlyr]

It must. The federal government just assassinated a subject of the constitution. Couldn't happen if the constitution didn't allow it.

Because you will read stuff like this:

“When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything - you can't conquer a free man;”

As long as we're quoting Heinlein, here's one of my favorites that comments on the "Borg Hive" nature of modern society.

Yes, division of labor may be economically efficient, it robs men of their souls at the same time.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

-Robert A. Heinlein

[WilliamC]

Well there are people that need to be killed, no question about it.

It's just a matter of how and when though, and the assassination of Anwar Al-Awlaki by executive order is both unConstitutional and extra-judicial.

I figure if Congress had the balls to actually pass a Letter of Marque and Reprisal naming Anwar Al-Awlaki and those who aid and abeted him as enemies of the United States, well then we could discuss whether or not it was moral or evil but it would be legal and Constitutional.

And unlike Ron Paul I am not completely against the death penalty in some circumstances, although I don't see how a judge and jury can try and convict someone who isn't brought before the court, and that certainly wasn't done in this case.

“Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate — and quickly.”

I like this one:

“The America of my time line is a laboratory example of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies throughout all histories. A perfect democracy, a ‘warm body’ democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self-correction. It depends solely on the wisdom and self-restraint of citizens… which is opposed by the folly and lack of self-restraint of other citizens. What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self-interest as he sees it… which for the majority translates as ‘Bread and Circuses.’

‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader—the barbarians enter Rome.”

[affa]

I love Robert A. Heinlein, and have read my share of him. I read Stranger in a Strange Land at the perfect age, and I credit it for 'waking' me up more so than any other single influence. The book isn't perfect; in particular, it's a bit sexist at times in a way that feels out of keeping for our time. But other than that, it's an important document on so many levels.

Highly recommended.

For those that know nothing about it (spoiler free), it's about a man who was raised by Martians (outdated, yes, but insert any alien race to your liking) and returns to the Earth capable of using his entire mind, free from the chains of our culture. That's the first chapter or so - the rest is about his interaction with our culture, our world, and serves as a perfect foil for Heinlein's priceless commentary.

[sevin]

UPDATE

Me: ‎"Some people just need to be killed..." Wow. Whatever happened to a right to trial by jury? The point is that it sets a dangerous precedent. This is how people like Hitler got so much power, the people let him get away with anything.

Neo-con: If anyone thinks he didn't have the support of congress they are mistaken. I hope they kill every asshole that raises their hand to run any terrorist organization. You don't deal with these people with courts and give them a stage for their followers to rally behind. You hunt everyone of them down like the rats that they are and you kill them. If the American public would get out of the way and let the military do what they do without bitching and whining about how they do it this would be over. The very people that complain about the assassination would be the first to complain when he attacked the US again. Except this time they would complain about the fact the Govt. Didn't do enough. I hate Obama and this may be about the only decision I agree with him on but he did it right.

Adam Gadhan , a notorious leader of American Al Qaeda, has called for terror attacks against Americans repeatedly. Now that precedence has been set, could Obama order extra judicial killing of a white American Al Qaeda leader Adam Gadhan next to avoid criticism that his target killing decison was motivated by racism against Americans of arab descent and based on double standard?

Bullshit on top of propaganda bullshit.

There are no fully automatic weapons being sold at "Gun Shows".
Apparently reality is not a deterrent to the reporter.
And yet the only "attacks" or "plots" have been instigated by the FBI. or in the case of the "car bomb' in New York was so lame as to be laughable. It was not able to make a good car fire. and would not have exploded.

The sad thing is that many of the people claim to be christian--the sadder part is a lot of alleged Christian leaders agree to this murder.

It isn't self-defense when you unilaterally strike! It's the same equivalent as shooting someone in the street because YOU thought they may attack and harm you, just because the person gave you a dirty look.

+ Rep for: "...claim to be christian" and "...alleged Christian leaders"

As a Christian, I really appreciate your wording. Thank you.:)

Great quotes as well.

I logged into facebook and my brother had posted this article: Assassin-in-Chief (http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/278845/assassin-chief-kevin-d-williamson?page=1#.ToZpsjA0-gA.facebook). This conversation was below it:

Some people just need to be killed and the American public doesn't need to know how it happens, why or by whom. As long as they are dead.



american public don't need to know every detail, but should they choose to, they should have the option to know, and should they choose to, they should have the power to decide. we need to start taking these questions head on in a more 1 on 1 perspective in concise, forceful terms that summarize the spirit of the constitution, not always long winded constitutional rhetorics. when you talk to rednecks, you need to sound rowdy, not like you're reciting off a book or talk like some academia.

Some people just need to accept that they are not pro-life but pro-tyranny.

I was curious about this quote, and as far as I can tell, no one knows who the original source was; it isn't known to be Goebbels.

In my research I came across this information...but there is nothing to cross-reference with. They give a weak argument as to say Goebbels would never admit that in public...but who is to say he did say that in public? He might of said it to one of the soldiers who repeated in a Nuremberg? *Shrugs shoulders*

Here is the source and another one to counter that it is indeed Goebbels who said it:

Neo-con: I am a conservative and I agree with killing the piece of shit. As a matter of fact I would kill every terrorist foreign or domestic. The only difference is I wouldn't advertise it I would just do it.

My awesome mom: “First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.” -Martin Niemoeller

My brother: I understand the sentiment Dan, just think it sets a dangerous precedent for the President to decide something like that unilaterally. Now if military command was looking for various people who are considered dangerous leaders, that's different. I get the 'cut off the head' kind of strategy... but in the right hands...

Neo-con: Agree. And don't believe for a minute he did it on his own. Although he wants everyone to think he did I doubt it. His problem is he can't shut his mouth. Some people just need to be killed and the American public doesn't need to know how it happens, why or by whom. As long as they are dead.

/end of conversation

This is what we're up against.

If that neocon is so concerned with worldwide terrorism, why doesn't he start his own private militia, travel around the world, and fight the terrorists with his own resources, instead of having U.S. armed forces do it at the taxpayers' expense?

On my facebook, not that anyone cares in my social network:


So, some REALLY important political figure thinks its ok to kill Americans without a trial. No matter how grave the crime, your are to be judged by your peers,convicted, and sentenced before you are "killed," or so the Constitution says. This important figure also claimed to be a Constitutional Professor. (lul)

This same important figure also claims to be a Christian-- a devout Christian. He tried really hard to make sure we all knew he was a Christian. What was Christ's opinion on captial punishment? "Let the first man with no sin, be first to throw the rock."

Even Timothy McVeigh had a trial, and even he had people proclaiming not to kill him, one of those being The Pope John Paul II.

It is very dangerous to have ONE man as the Judge, Jury, and Executioner.
We call this fascism, the very thing we fought against during WWII.

[ConvertedRepublican]

UPDATE

Me: ‎"Some people just need to be killed..." Wow. Whatever happened to a right to trial by jury? The point is that it sets a dangerous precedent. This is how people like Hitler got so much power, the people let him get away with anything.

Neo-con: If anyone thinks he didn't have the support of congress they are mistaken. I hope they kill every asshole that raises their hand to run any terrorist organization. You don't deal with these people with courts and give them a stage for their followers to rally behind. You hunt everyone of them down like the rats that they are and you kill them. If the American public would get out of the way and let the military do what they do without bitching and whining about how they do it this would be over. The very people that complain about the assassination would be the first to complain when he attacked the US again. Except this time they would complain about the fact the Govt. Didn't do enough. I hate Obama and this may be about the only decision I agree with him on but he did it right.

I'm not responding again. He's hopeless.

Anyone wanna guess what this dude looks like?
I'm envisioning a 400 pound unshaven jerk typing and eating his cheetos at the same time, all the while living in his parents attic. He probably works as a telemarketer or Wally World to pay his child support payments. He fantazizes about running through the woods playing GI Joe, but needs to take his primatine mist to catch his breath.
Oh, and I would bet the farm there is a King James Bible sitting next to his computer.

[acptulsa]

Well, some people do. And I can't imagine a better lot to start with than those who would appoint themselves as the ones to decide who should just be killed. For clearly they are the most dangerous to a civilized society.

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

Boy, Costa Rica is looking better every day. I can just imagine the blood thirst in the general public against the first state who would declare their independence, and then they have the audacity to chastise Mubarak and the rest of the Middle East dictators for doing exactly what they beat their chests about. All these MF'ers are authoritarian psychopaths. Well, for those who are pro-Standing Army look at what it has wrought.

since we're already branded as tin foil hatters maybe this is the tone we should take with these obtuse individuals with personality disorders instead of quiet reasoning and appealing to logic...GRRR!!!

Wow.
I have a pretty good imagination but,,,
Many if not most "militia" types are solidly behind Ron Paul and restoring the constitution, and having been the target of the Domestic Terrorism Propaganda,, see where this is going.
My wife works at WallyWorld, giving us a small income.
And I may be course and blunt often,, But my KJV Bible is not next to my computer, It is in software loaded on it. Handy and used often.

Unfortunately,, those disheartening comments are from Joe Average. They get their opinions from the news media and have not read of considered the Constitution, nor even given thought beyond the sound bytes.

Guess thats why Jesus had to be killed. The Preists had labeled him a domestic terrorist. Suppose thst makes killing him ok, but we never should have heard about it.

Thats what u should tell him.

[truelies]

Neocons are basically Nazis. I'm not using any hyperbole here. These are the scum who will support the government murdering 'the enemy' no matter what.

It would be more accurate to say that neocons are generic fascists rather than the specific nazi variant of fascism. Certainly the core Leader Principle of fascism is how the USA is actually governed. Bush stated the Principle in so many words and BHO has reaffirmed. America's unique contribution to fascism is using a figurehead Leader with some real power rather than the strutting peacock absolute Leader of WW2 Italy or Germany. Heck it is rather unclear who are actual named Rulers are or if they are even nominal Americans. Our Rulers make a point of never showing the sheeple their chains unless a sheeple annoys or frightens a uniformed goon or has something the State wants. Also unlike fascist Italy/Germany/Japan but much like the WW2 USSR or Tito's Yugoslavia the fascist USA has for the past 40 years engaged in systemmatic repression of the nation's core ethnic vast majority. That will turn out to have been the Rulers fatal mistake.
