A small town in the American Southwest... everything in the desert is designed to prick you, wound you or eat you. What better metaphor for 21st century Earth? Prickly City is a comic strip about the friendship between Winslow, a coyote pup, and Carmen, a straight and narrow kind of kid. Prickly City offers a conservative perspective on political and social events within an ongoing storyline. As Carmen might say, "We may not be correct but we will always be right."
Their high jinks provide endless laughs as Winslow gets into trouble and Carmen follows. Join Carmen and Winslow for their adventures in the desert!

Drones are a terrible idea. All they do is kill terrorists with our having no military losses.

‘Drones are a terrible idea. All they do is kill terrorists with our having no military losses.
A comment like that coming from you doesn’t surprise me in the least. Callousness about civilian losses and innocent lives lost is within character. Collateral damage. Meh.
They’re all terrorists, of course.

Stalin called Americans who sided with him and called themselves Communists "useful idiots’. In this matter he seems to define you.
Our terrorist enemies are certainly not stupid. They infiltrate themselves seamlessly into civilian neighborhoods totally surrounded by women, children, the poor and the common population. Then they set up shop and fire rockets, build weapons and train future suicide bombers. If we try and stop these activities, the unthinking like you say we are callous about civilian losses. What would you do to stop these terroristic attacks? If truth be known, you don’t really want to stop them because they further your cause.
To stop a war against you, unfortunately some civilians must die. Think our A bomb and Hiroshima/Nagasaki. Think Dresden. If you truly want to have fewer civilian losses have your people stop the terrorists from moving into their civilan neighborhoods. They must take responsibility too.

Now local governments are getting into the drone act. While there are some legitimate uses (search and rescue operations), there are some less-than-legitimate uses (spying, illegal search and seizure).

LOL! Cute. What is my “cause”? And who are “my people”?

From reading your posts over the months you apparently intensely dislike the US and most Americans. You oppose repeatedly the actions we have taken vis a vis the rest of the world. You have a totally different view of what you see as the purpose and goal of US foreign policy. Terrorists are not our friends. I live in NYC, I will do anything, I repeat anything, to prevent another 9/11.

If I so intensely dislike Americans, what say other Americans of my presence on this site? You mistake disliking US policy with disliking Americans. Not unusual with folks who are a tad too patriotic. Usually it blinkers them to the failings of their national governments.
I can confidently say a good many Americans will disagree with you. In fact, when I have criticised any given policy affecting others on this globe, I usually take pains to avoid naming the USA directly as it isn’t just the US involved; unless it is the US leading the policy. The US is often bashed hypocritically by other nationalities of nations doing exactly the same thing, if not on a smaller scale.
I do have a problem with US foreign policy when it is callously applied. Your country’s self-interest is often at odds with everyone else. Your country is the most powerfuland , if your country had truly been a benevolent super-power, doing real good instead of Realpolitik, then I would be singing its praises. However, it has proven time and time again it is not Exceptional. I will continue opposing the US world view in its present form because it is alienating most of the planet and making me, part of the Western world, into a bloody target along with you. I hate being a target. I grew up under constant threat of terrorism because I was perceived to be part of the oppressor.
“Terrorists are not our friends”. No shit. Unfortunately, your country’s actions are creating so much ill-will that we have a steady stream of folks peeved at your foreign policies, generations of them. It astounds me that you’re blind to it.

I live in NYC. There’s a limit to what I’d advocate. If “anything” means putting in place a police state, then count me out. NYC is already too much of a police state for my liking.

Yes, we are exceptional. Unlike the British, we didn’t occupy vast swaths of the world. We also aren’t seriously considering regulating the press (as the British are doing), nor do we regulate “hate speech” the way they do in Europe.
Are we perfect? No. Did we prop up a bunch of bad dictators during the Cold War (and after)? Yes. But if you are waiting for the munificent Chinese to take over, like so many “open-minded,” “progressive” liberals like Ken Livingston of London (who seriously believes the US is the most dangerous country in the world), then don’t complain to me when you don’t like the outcome.
