(1,315 posts)But I see a huge chasm between discouraging protestors and chickenhawkish cries of send in the Warthogs and Apaches...
People literally cheering on the idea of using military hardware against people they disagree with. Most of whom are not now, nor ever have been the ones doing the fighting, look around this and a few other threads, and take a good hard look at what they are cheering for.
Droning on American soil, using CAS against protestors, purposefully infecting the "other side", withholding medical care from infected people based on lifestyle and political leaning. Even in jest, which I doubt everyone is it is pretty disgusting.
An please do not try and warp disagreement with this rhetoric as a support of the current Republican and Conservative groups, it is a warning that this is exactly how nations begin the descent into death squads and pogroms. Dehumanizing is evil, and the mark of monstrosity.
