Ever thought about those far right wingnuts that huddle around the tube for a FOX show or Beck’s rants or Rush or….well just about any of the so-called “patriots” in the media? Ever wonder what they hear when they hear the basic same stuff as rational individuals?
I found a cartoon that explains it very well……..
I know you think that you will make a better country with your ideas……personally I think you are nutz!
What started as an alternative to the 2 parties has since been hijacked by the batcrap crazies….more humorous than thought provoking.
If you have ever taken a college level philosophy course then you will recall the terms “ethics” and “morality”…..and if you had a good professor there was a discussion on the terms……sorry I digress….the whole question of morality forces me to revisit my college days and the debates I had………
There is a situation that the world needs to confront, especially the US…..that is the subject of targeted assassinations……most times by drone.
The debate started by then it was halted by the events in Baltimore…….now the question should be….will we ever have this debate or is it a dead issue?
Is the targeted murder of an individual moral?
The American people seem to think that targeted assassination is okay…..at least by drone……
Nearly 75 percent of Americans approve of using drone strikes to target American citizens who have joined foreign terrorist organizations, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll released on Friday.
The poll was conducted in the days following President Barack Obama‘s public apology for a drone strike as part of a counterterrorism operation that unintentionally resulted in the deaths of American hostage Warren Weinstein and Italian hostage Giovanni Lo Porto.
The survey also found that six in 10 Americans support using drones to target terrorists in general, while only 13 percent oppose it and 24 percent “did not feel strongly either way.” Support is higher among Republicans than Democrats (72 percent to 60 percent), while independents are less decisive with 45 percent in favor and 12 percent opposed. In addition, 47 percent of Americans said, according to the poll, that it is acceptable to use drones to kill terrorists abroad if innocent Americans are at risk of being killed as well.
What do you think? Is the targeted assassination moral? What about the killing of a person on some religious mumbo jumbo….is this moral?
Moral is moral. There is NO leeway in the definition. Killing 20 to eliminate one is no where near a moral act.
A Couple of ‘toons that came to me via Twitter……
There is a good possibility that Hillary, if she decides to run (like there is doubt), will win the presidency. If so what will Washington look like for the next years?
Twitter gave me the answer I was looking for…….
An excellent question and this ‘toon I got on Twitter is an excellent expalnation….
I have been railing against this country and the treatment of its veterans……this ‘toon is one of the best to illustrate the hypocrisy that exists………
Just a thought here…..which group would that be?
I have said many times what a moronic statement that is about the arming……..which rebel group? Keep in mind that AQ was born out of a rebel group fighting in Afghanistan…..a fact the people like McCain seem to not remember…..
I got this ‘toon in my reader on WordPress…….which would you arm?
The media gives us car chases in LA…..or a winter snowstorm……but when it comes to violence committed against Muslims there seems to be little interest in the act…….or that it is newsworthy……why?
I got this cartoon about the murders of 3 Muslims in Chapel Hill, NC…….
The question that needs asking is why is this murder less important than a person Jenner hit with a car?
Twitter is the bomb! I get some of the best cartoons ever!
You want someone to thank for the situation in DC?
Look NO further than the American voter!
