Uh, since Drifty is staunchly anti-Confederate, does this mean he likes drones?

If not, what in Haruhi's name is the point of this picture?

Hamfast Ruddyneck,
Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking. Seriously though, WTF is the point of this picture? Methinks Ol' Drifty still can't ge himself to condemn the Obama drone program and this is his cognitive dissonance on display.

No one thinks Lincoln would have used drones against American citizens on American soil in 1864?

I saw this and I though;
Ahh a sequel to Turtledoves "guns of the south"




To those who've not read that book, it tells of time travelers delivering AK-47's to GEN Lee.

Nobody's arguing against the use of drones in a traditional battlefield environment.

What seems a wee bit more problematic with this scenario is whether Lincoln would have had an extra-judicial kill list, or if he'd have gone along with "signature strikes" or the deeply perverse reasoning that any post-pubescent male in the strike area is a militant until proven otherwise. Or how he'd have felt about the Executive having the power to kill anyone, anywhere in the world, without restraint.

Drones? I wish. I also wish for a platoon of M1 Abrams and a few Apache attack helicopters.

Effing confederates. Damned traitors who've never repented. You aren't Americans. I despise that we continue to mollycoddle you. Huge mistake, as you always show us.
