I just seen this video and couldn't help but laugh. ARF was calling Ron Paul nuts for thinking Anwar al-Awlaki should get a trial. Now that Herman Cain agrees with Ron Paul i was just wondering what ARF has to say. starts at 6:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a1_73OyiWQ This video made me like Cain even more. I disagree with him, but he still has my vote. |

The difference between Ron Paulians and normal people is that normal people don't have the need to defend and apologize for, every single, damned, word that a candidate they are considering voting for utters.

You don't lead by following opinion poles. Principled people hold to unpopular beliefs, and make you think again.
In 2022, when the US is run by unelected tyrants, do you want a military drone operator ordered to kill your rebel son to remember a history of unconstitutional orders being obeyed, or a history of troops refusing to kill US citizens without trial? I'm happy he is dead, but wish we could have had him tried, even by a military tribunal, in abstencia, first. Just so one man instead of 12, can't kill me, since that seems rather perfunctory. |

The difference between Ron Paul zealots and those who think for themselves has already been demonstrated several,times in this thread.
It will take some time for the Ron Paulians to understand that because the very concept of independent thought is alien to them, all that matters is what the old man says and it must be defended at all costs. |

Quoted:
If Cain is serious, then I can't vote for him. I mean the ONE THING Obama is doing right is fighting terrorists with deadly force on their home turf. You have to give him credit for that and I am thankful he does. It's inconceivable that a GOP commander-in-chief is going to worry about a terrorist's first amendment and due process civil rights to the point he ends up being softer than Barack Hussein Obama (mmmmm mmmmm mmmm). The Constitution isn't a suicide pact, and I see no reason to extend its protections to people sworn to destroy it. That's exactly how I look at it, and although I despise the man to his corrupt, socialist, core, I do give Obama a modicum of credit for at least allowing the military to pursue and deal with terrorists abroad. I can't support a candidate won't do at least as much as Obama to remain in pursuit of terrorists wherever they operate; whatever their country of origin may be. |

Cain has no background in these matters. Obama had a broader idea, having been a Senator, and even an ideal of the House and Senate intelligence oversight functions, and still campaigned in a way that made a lot of us question whether he would prosecute this fight. Everything changed when he took office. Put a man in there with a little bit of common sense, reality will take it from there. Now, if my computer wouldn't keep locking up, I could see what Cain actually said - something tells me it was nothing like what Paul said. FWIW, I could easily see why someone could get tripped up with the criminal law argument - especially if a manipulative person presented it that way, and he didn't think about it / have background in what was actually at issue there. |

1. The issue is not extending the constitution, but withdrawing it's protections from citizens. It limits the power of governments, and the right to life is the core of all rights.
2. Obama has never done anything right. Learn that fact, and apply it to all future situations. You can trust but verify the Russians, but never trust Obama. Christ! 3. What is so difficult in having a military tribunal try citizens even in their absence? Because it grants legitimacy to trying terrorists in military courts, which Obama is against. Due process is possible by the military, unless you are a Marxist Socialist Phony President. 4. Due process protects OUR rights, when Obama-Napataiatano-Holder declare gun owners "domestic terrorists". 5. The Constitution is not being protected by the people sworn to uphold it, including when the violate it in every way, even ways you approve of. 6. Supporting Obama's violations of the constitution does make it a suicide pact. Stop and think. |

There's a difference between protesting a war or politics peacefully within our borders and calling for "the faithful to kill the non-believers" from outside them. Thus one of the differences in being a birthright citizen and an enemy combatant. As a side note, he also apparantly had renounced his citizenship circa 1990 claiming to be Yemeni born when he applied to Colorado State, and spent summer vacations training with the mujahideen. |

Do some Googling. EDIT: Look, I did some of your homework for you: Geneva protocols regarding classification of combatants in armed conflict: http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/wars/a/loac_2.htm Lawful Combatants. A lawful combatant is an individual authorized by governmental authority or the LOAC to engage in hostilities. A lawful combatant may be a member of a regular armed force or an irregular force. In either case, the lawful combatant must be commanded by a person responsible for subordinates; have fixed distinctive emblems recognizable at a distance, such as uniforms; carry arms openly; and conduct his or her combat operations according to the LOAC. The LOAC applies to lawful combatants who engage in the hostilities of armed conflict and provides combatant immunity for their lawful warlike acts during conflict, except for LOAC violations. Noncombatants. These individuals are not authorized by overnmental authority or the LOAC to engage in hostilities. In fact, they do not engage in hostilities. This category includes civilians accompanying the Armed Forces; combatants who are out of combat, such as POWs and the wounded, and certain military personnel who are members of the Armed Forces not authorized to engage in combatant activities, such as medical personnel and chaplains. Noncombatants may not be made the object of direct attack. They may, however, suffer injury or death incident to a direct attack on a military objective without such an attack violating the LOAC, if such attack is on a lawful target by lawful means. Unlawful Combatants. Unlawful combatants are individuals who directly participate in hostilities without being authorized by governmental authority or under international law to do so. For example, bandits who rob and plunder and civilians who attack a downed airman are unlawful combatants. Unlawful combatants who engage in hostilities violate LOAC and become lawful targets. They may be killed or wounded and, if captured, may be tried as war criminals for their LOAC violations. |

Al-whatever the fuck his name was was part of Al-Qaeda's command structure. The communicated with the shooter from Fort Hood, with the dumbass who tried to bomb Times Square, and with two of the 9/11 hijackers. He was a combatant and a commander in a global war on Terrorism that had targeted the US and its citizens. That job has hazards, and eating a missile strike is pretty high on the list. |

Yemen does not extradite, no matter the charge, to the US or anywhere else. It doesn't happen, so we were never going to get al Awlaki in front of a federal judge.
Our choices were: 1) Let al Awlaki continue untouched in perpetuity to "inspire" others to pull stunts like the underwear plane bomb and Major Nidal Hasan's mass shooting at Fort Hood. -or- 2) Send a CIA SAD team to kidnap him and bring him to the US to face justice. -or- 3) Hellfire for fun and profit. Ron Paul fans: Assuming you hate the fact that the government assassinated a US citizen for any reason at all, would you have supported a plan to kidnap him (extraordinary rendition) in Yemen instead if it meant getting him into a federal courtroom to face justice for his crimes? |
