A former U.S. president is accusing the current president of sanctioning the widespread abuse of human rights by authorizing drone strikes to kill suspected terrorists.
Jimmy Carter, Americas 39th president, denounced the Obama administration for clearly violating 10 of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, writing in a New York Times op-ed on Monday that the United States is abandoning its role as the global champion of human rights.
Instead of making the world safer, Americas violation of international human rights abets our enemies and alienates our friends, Carter wrote.

The Jihaddis want us to send guys out to meet them in hand to hand combat.
I think it's fine to send a drone and just fry them like bugs.
They're the ones who want to get wasted, and so they get wasted.
The fact Carter is taking the side of the Jihaddis is highly suggestive of his having become a Moslem.

“Now Im wondering who was the last Democrat president who actually loved this country. I know it wasnt the last three. Truman?”

JFK, for all his faults, in addition to being a combat war Vet, came from a generation in which Love of Country was the overwhelming default sentiment. Yes, things began to change for the MUCH worse during his presidency, and he is to blame for a lot of that.
Additionally, he clearly loved HIMSELF more than his country, and for that matter, more than his wife and children as well....

Obozo is a murdering thug. No difference between him and his “sons” on a typical Saturday night in Chicago.
Follow this line of reasoning:
1. Obozo using drones more and more to kill suspected terrorists overseas.
2. Obozo signs law allowing him to unilaterally declare anyone in the US to be a terrorist with no proof.
3. Obozo starts using drones in the US for “surveillance purposes’
4. Guess what comes next?

Leave it to the first peace prize winner black POTUS Obama to launch the first ‘assassination by drone’ wars.
Killing their entire family with a hellfire missile is much more humane than water-boarding them for info.

Jimmy didn't get the memo that RATs are only supposed to be "anti-war" and "concerned with civil liberties" when Republicans are in power. Democrats (Clinton, Obama, etc.) are ALWAYS allowed to bomb whoever they want, for whatever reason. If a liberal RAT like John Edwards were in power in 2003 and decided to "wage war" with Saddam Hussein, Michael Moore & most of the Hollywood weird crowd would have applauded it, as would have Nancy Pelosi and most of the congressional RATs.
