No doubt about that. But they are not all of us.

"We" aren't fighting anyone, you coward. Mailing bullets to a foreign country so they can keep your boogeymen away is not fighting a war. But no, our allies will not win any wars either. Modern wars are hydras, they cannot be "won" for any length of time and their blood permanently poisons and...

I don't think it is that clear cut. I do see why it may not seem like it from abroad, but the American public does have limits and they are dancing close to several of them. Intensifying on extrajudicial killings could be a disaster for them in the midterms.

It didn't just hurt his career, it resulted in the illegal criminalization of gay marriage in the state.

So are we. So is every "great power". We are all fighting vicious wars in other people's backyards, wars that mostly take innocents and cannot be won or even ended. But you've just to wave your stupid flag over the next field of corpses, eh? You're feigning outrage about countries you can't even...

This is why I get a sandwich at the deli and then do the rest of the shopping.

The police called up the governor and were like, hey, should we point guns at a lady for acting weird? and he was like, go right ahead boys.

Any evidence of this?
