Somehow I posted this in the Welcome & Help.

Time to go. It's been fun, but I don't belong here. I posted something objecting to a drone strike against a terrorist, and I got an incredibly bloodthirsty reaction. Of course my post was hidden within minutes. I find it truly disturbing that so many people on DU could so easily subscribe to the notion we are entitled to designate human beings as Bad Guys and execute them without due process. I'm sure not all DU people agree with that, nor the drone wars conducted to facilitate it, but I am shocked (yes actually shocked) that so many people enthusiastically subscribe, unquestioningly and unconditionally, to the drone wars. I am also shocked that so many people are so eager to hide posts with which they disagree. Thank you. Take care. Try to show some respect for each other. Vote Democratic

1. Perhaps you should realize that there isn't DUE PROCESS in WAR. nt

9. When did Congress declare war

in Yemen, Pakistan, North Waziristan, or Somalia?

Has the US skipped that part of the process as well?

11. What war? nm

2. No offense, but there are bigger things going on right now

Of which, of course, you are silent on.

3. Sorry to see you go.

We all get a undeserved hide once in awhile.

4. I'm pretty comfortable seeing ISIS as bad guys

and btw, what you actually said was that he was killed for "mocking us." Which is bullshit.

5. Bye

6. It is primary season and everyone is on pins and needles wondering if they are going to say

that might get them banned or whatever.

As far as the drone, I am pretty sure that probably 75% or so do not like them at all and have said so.

7. Go find your "safe place" so no one will disagree or challenge your opinions then.

If you can't take it, then it's best to go.

8. Never attribute to malice those things easily explained by stupidity.

Anger first, reason second is a normal reaction.
Stay and help keep reason

10. Okay goodbye

See you in a week.

[Kingofalldems]

12. I was the first response and asked you to take it down.

I wish you would have.

BTW, I did not alert on your post.
