Pinochet had the right idea.

No. The cornerstone of American freedom is the First Amendment "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Throwing political opponents out of helicopters is the complete opposite of that. If we don't have the First Amendment we may as well be just another banana republic.

When it comes down to war, things change. And some things are worth fighting and killing (and dying) for. Like eradicating the diseased perverted forces that have taken root in America like — exactly like! — a metastatic cancer.

Thought question: how would your attitude have contributed to America’s founding, had you and your ilk held sway in (say) 1750?

Another thought question: what about WWII? Was Lindburgh’s attitude OK? Why or why not?

You speak well, but you have this one little problem...

The dude is a British citizen, not in America, and is therefore not under the protections of the 1st Amendment.

The limey bastid needs to keep his nose the f*** out of our business.
