"It's clear to me that expanding the use of unmanned systems hold enormous potential for our state and our country," This Congressman brought to you by the drone industry.

Drones advocating drones.

I wish they had patches like NASCAR drivers, it would make it a lot easier to find out who bought them and what they stand for.

Later the news said they had busted a meth ring in canada and followed the money trail all the way to jordan. Now im sure it was more than meth. I do not want to be spyed on by drones either but on the border looking out for terrerist. Fine by me. I still have the tape.

I told my grandfather and he told me to call FBI. Well i didn't want to call and get in trouble but he taked me into it. I had them listen to it over the phone and they said to send them the tape. I made a copy and sent it to them. They called back and and said it was arabic and wanted to know where i lived and how far my scanner would reach. A couple days later several military helicopterflew over town heading towards canada. I live only 30 miles from the border.

Here's somthing you don't know. I live in north dakota and a few years ago after George Bush gave his tv speach on starting war in Iraq. I went and turned on my scanner. Now i modified it with a protable tv to here phone conversations. Well i picked up what sounded like someone speaking arab. I got my tape recorder and recorded the conversation. You could clearly here the words bomb, fuucking amercans and envelope.

Corporatist bitch. Lap dog. Silly.

If you think that Middle Easterners are attacking the US because "our God tells us to kill Americans" then you don't have a clue about Middle East history. The Iranians overthrew their govt because it was a despotic regime that the US put into place and got rid of the democratically elected leader to do it. Go read Lawrence of Arabia and learn about the Balfour Declaration in addition to much of the more recent Middle East history (if you dare to learn more that what some TV pundit tells you.)

I went to school in tampa, i am from grand forks. msnbc is where i seen that the economy will crash in 2013 look for yourself asshole.

[monjiaitaly]

war is the terrorism of the rich and powerful, terrorism is the war of the poor and powerless. They neither want or need our advice, besides we are there to take resources it has nothing to do with democracy. I am on their side on this one, when you keep bombing and killing my people, I will fight back, by any means necessary. Even if it is against my religious beliefs, which be the way suicide bombing is not in Islam in any way shape or form.

[John Jamison]

I saw the Heidi Heitkamp ones. She seems to support terrible economic ideas like raising the minimum wage. She also thinks that investing some social security contributions is equal to "risking our money in the stock market". Of course, when you invest intelligently at all in the stock market, you are nearly guaranteed returns which will actually outpace inflation. So I guess she thinks that billions of dollars are wisely invested when they lose value to inflation.

I'll take Berg, thanks.

[John Jamison]

The question is, what ideas do YOU support? I vote for these "sell outs", just like I sell out everyday when I go to work, instead of sitting on my broke ass at home, not selling out.

[John Jamison]

That's stupid. How about "let's make the military as dangerous as we can make it and put more lives at risk and keep all jobs as labor intensive as possible, in order to save jobs." That's what you seem to want. Brilliant.
