how deep our troubles

QUOTE OF THE CENTURY, MAYBE EVEN THE MILLENNIUM

Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic . Someone over there has it figured out. We have a lot of work to do.

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

Americans support targeted killings

of US-born extremists – poll

The plurality of Americans support the idea of targeting and killing their fellow citizens if they are suspected of being members of terrorist organizations.

The findings are part of a new NBC News Survey of 1,000 adults.

More than four in 10 respondents said they supported the targeted killing of Americans who are suspected terrorists living in other countries, compared to a quarter who said they do not.

Sixty-six percent of those surveyed also claimed they favoured the use of drones to eliminate suspected members of Al Qaeda and other terrorists living in Pakistan, Yemen and other countries.

To compare, only 16 percent of those surveyed said they oppose such strikes.

The Survey came few weeks after president Barack Obama delivered a high-profile address at the National Defense University in Washington in May in which he laid out new guidelines of the use of drones to kill terrorists overseas, vowing to put limits on the use of the unmanned air crafts.

The speech came after Attorney General H. Eric Holder Jr. sent a letter to Congress in May in which he publicly confirmed for the first time that U.S. drone strikes have killed four Americans.
