Scapegoating onto all Republicans is despicable, racist and thoroughly un-American.

Left wingers are dangerous, simpleton racist morons and quite stupid, especially the whackjobs that read occupydemocrats.

But are you onboard with Obama destroying whistleblowers? Especially those that blow the whistle on his nefarious assassinations of innocent civilians in the middle east? Or are you like the vast majority of Democrats and Republicans….a closet racist?

US drone whistleblowers have their bank accounts frozen5 days ago

The U.S. Government failed to deter them through threats of criminal prosecution, and clumsy attempts to intimidate their families.

Now four former Air Force drone operators-turned-whistleblowers have had their credit cards and bank accounts frozen, according to human rights attorney Jesselyn Radack.

“My drone operators went public this week and now their credit cards and bank accounts are frozen,” Radack lamented on her Twitter feed (the spelling of her post has been conventionalized). This was done despite the fact that none of them has been charged with a criminal offense – but this is a trivial formality in the increasingly Sovietesque American National Security State.

Michael Haas, Brandon Bryant, Cian Westmoreland and Stephen Lewis, who served as drone operators in the US Air Force, have gone public with detailed accounts of the widespread corruption and institutionalized indifference to civilian casualties that characterize the program. Some of those disclosures were made in the recent documentary Drone; additional details have been provided in an open letter from the whistleblowers to President Obama, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, and CIA Director John Brennan.

“We are former Air Force service members,” the letter begins. We joined the Air Force to protect American lives and to protect our Constitution. We came to the realization that the innocent civilians we were killing only fueled the feelings of hatred that ignited terrorism and groups like ISIS, while also serving as a fundamental recruiting tool similar to Guantanamo Bay. This administration and its predecessors have built a drone program that is one of the most devastating driving forces for terrorism and destabilization around the world.”

Nonsense.....what Trump said is to shut down muslims trying to enter the US until we figure out what is going on...IOW, until we have a vettng process that works so there are no more San Bernadinos....perfectly reasonable and given that the government has info that ISIS is trying to infiltrate the refugees population...very prudent.

Your silly assed spin is just that....silly assed.

Zax,
Scapegoating onto all Muslims is despicable, racist and thoroughly un-American.
I agree, but then the following statement makes you a hypocrite ...
Right wingers are dangerous, simpleton racist morons.
Aren't you doing the same thing that Trump is doing, namely stereotyping and painting with a broad brush?

Even Dick Cheney is speaking out against what Trump said. And you can hardly find anyone more right-wing than that guy ...
