This is the problem with small-town American politics: they think drones are the problem, and then they argue against people like the ACLU who are fighting government surveillance which is a far, far more serious threat.

@1 agree. But that was a really good ad.

I seem to recall that right wingers were also against a national ID card because we could all be tracked and our guns taken, but now thanks to hand wringing over voter fraud we are moving toward having a federal ID card to prove citizenship.

Isn't that's the guy who runs against Louis Laffer in Alpha House?

PEW PEW! ain't no problem guns cain't solve! America!

Oh, great, now my wingnut neighbors are going to be blasting away at stray leaves and whatnot, and the bullets are going to come down on my roof.

"Deadeye Dick" in 3...2...1...

Holy hell, this is so unfair.

We left-wingers got in so much trouble for being "anarchists" for opposing war, racism, and stuff, mostly peaceably and lawfully, 1968-'74 or so.

And here, we've got right-wingers openly calling for armed insurrection, and even picking up arms against federal agents, and nothing happens??

Friends, it's been a slow revolution, but the fascists are winning.

Wow. Who knew Henry Rollins retired to be a conservative rancher-wannabe?

@1: you realize drone are part of the surveillance problem, right?

#9: Actually they're just a technology that can be misused or not, just like police helicopters, gunships and tomahawk cruise missiles. There is nothing inherently scary about drones, and I'm more worried about commercial drones crashing into my house than being spied on by them. And don't take that to mean I'm endorsing drone strikes abroad or police surveillance locally.

If Obama can maneuver the Republican Party into dismantling the surveillance state, it will rank among his greatest achievements.

Bullshit. You promised me a drone getting shot down and I expected to see a drone getting fucking shot down. Hell, all I saw was a lame screen effect and a quick cut.

I agree; not impressed unless he actually buys and shoots down a drone. It's not like they're that expensive these days...
