Romney and his staff continuing to crack under the pressure of maintaining the false " Presumptive Nominee " status as Romney's gaffes hit an all time high while on his European Donation Tour.

Romney staffer tells Press to " Kiss My Ass! " during opening round of questions as Ron Paul supporters across Europe show up at every photo-op and press interview with huge signs and cheers for Ron Paul.

I guess the people of Europe want Ron Paul to be President more than we do since I haven't seen a gathering of Ron Paul troops at ANY political gathering shown on the news for at least 6 months. There was a time that no news camera could roll anywhere in the country and not be forced to get at least 2 Ron Paul signs in the back ground. Now....nothing. Hmmmm.....

Romney Aide Loses His Temper With Reporters in Poland: ‘Kiss My A**’

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s international trip was just starting to look up when his traveling Press Secretary, Rick Gorka, told reporters to “kiss my a**.”

Romney received the de facto endorsement of the influential former Polish president Lech Walesa yesterday. But today, during a visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Warsaw, things took a turn.

After the Romney family laid a wreath at the memorial and paid their respects, a group of CNN, New York Times, and Washington Post reporters, it seems, starting yelling at the governor about the “gaffes” of his trip.

CNN provided a transcript of the altercation:

CNN: “Governor Romney are you concerned about some of the mishaps of your trip?”
NYT: “Governor Romney do you have a statement for the Palestinians?”
Washington Post: “What about your gaffes?”
NYT: “Governor Romney do you feel that your gaffes have overshadowed your foreign trip?”
CNN: “Governor Romney just a few questions sir, you haven’t taken but three questions on this trip from the press!”
Gorka: “Show some respect”
NYT: “We haven’t had another chance to ask a question…”
Gorka: “Kiss my ass. This is a Holy site for the Polish people. Show some respect.”
Moments later, Gorka told Jonathan Martin, a reporter for Politico, to “shove it.”

Here is video:



The aide later called reporters to apologize, but the Obama camp made sure to jump on the incident.

Jen Psaki, the deputy campaign press secretary for the administration, commented that Romney has now made a “series of fumbles.”

“He’s been fumbling the foreign policy football from country to country.

And there’s a threshold question that he has to answer for the American people and that’s whether he’s prepared to be commander-in-chief…. This raises some questions about his preparedness,” she added.

Judge Jim Gray on The Six Groups Who Benefit From Drug Prohibition | Peace . Gold . Liberty | Revolution

Uploaded by ReasonTV on Mar 8, 2010

In 1992, Jim Gray, a conservative judge in conservative Orange County, California, held a press conference during which he recommended that we rethink our drug laws. Back then, it took a great deal of courage to suggest that the war on drugs was a failed policy.

Today, more and more Americans are coming to the realization that prohibition's costs—whether measured in lives and liberties lost or dollars wasted—far exceed any possible or claimed benefits.

Reason.tv's Paul Feine interviewed Gray about drug policy and the prospects for reform. The interview was shot by Alex Manning and edited by Hawk Jensen.

Court Demands TSA Explain Why It Is Defying Nude Body Scanner Order

Politics, General + Law(s)

A federal appeals court Wednesday ordered the Transportation Security Administration to explain why it hasn’t complied with the court’s year-old decision demanding the agency hold public hearings concerning the rules and regulations pertaining to the so-called nude body scanners installed in U.S. airport security checkpoints.

The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit’s brief order came in response to the third request by the Electronic Information Privacy Center for the court to enforce its order.

A year ago, the circuit court, in a lawsuit brought by EPIC, set aside a constitutional challenge trying to stop the government from using intrusive body scanners across U.S. airports. But the decision on July 15, 2011 also ordered TSA “to act promptly” and hold public hearings and publicly adopt rules and regulations about the scanners’ use, which it has not done.

Defense Language School 'Ethicist' / 'Philosopher': We have "Moral OBLIGATION" to murder via Drones!

Submitted by AnCapMercenary on Thu, 08/02/2012 - 19:09

Meet the psychotic academic statist murder enabler: Prof. Bradley Strawser, USAF (Ret) who now landed a cushy job at the US Navy's Defense Language School in Monterey, CA, primarily because:

His forceful defence of the military use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as drones are also called, is largely the reason he has landed a tenure-track post as assistant professor of philosophy at Monterey's Naval Postgraduate School, an elite college which gives master's and PhD courses to military officers, academics and policymakers.

The philosopher making the moral case for US drones: 'There's no downside'

It's one of the US's most controversial policies; one that resulted in large numbers of civilian deaths overseas. So why does Bradley Strawser see targeted killing as a moral obligation?

Rory Carroll in Monterey

guardian.co.uk, Thursday 2 August 2012 11.02 EDT

At first sight, Bradley Strawser resembles a humanities professor from central casting. He has a beard, wears jeans, quotes Augustine and calls himself, only half in jest, a hippie. He opposes capital punishment and Guantánamo Bay, calls the Iraq invasion unjust and scorns neo-conservative foreign policy hawks. "Whatever a neocon is, I'm the opposite."

His office overlooks a placid campus in Monterey, an oasis of California sun and Pacific zephyrs, and he lives up the road in Carmel, a forested beauty spot with an arts colony aura. Strawser has published works on metaphysics and Plato and is especially fond of Immanuel Kant.

Strawser is also, it turns out, an outspoken and unique advocate for what is becoming arguably the US's single most controversial policy: drone strikes. Strawser has plunged into the churning, anguished debate by arguing the US is not only entitled but morally obliged to use drones.

"It's all upside. There's no downside. Both ethically and normatively, there's a tremendous value," he says.

"You're not risking the pilot. The pilot is safe. And all the empirical evidence shows that drones tend to be more accurate. We need to shift the burden of the argument to the other side. Why not do this? The positive reasons are overwhelming at this point. This is the future of all air warfare. At least for the US."

************************************************** ************
Like all neoCon scums, Stawser also loves twisting Plato and Kant's works to suit his Machiavellian views.

For those who are geolpolitcally aware, it's no secret that US Navy's Defense Language School in Monterey, CA, is the home of foreign mercenary terrorist network training HQ.

Strawser is a prime example why some 'academics' are far more dangerous to humanity than any 'insurgent' with an AK47 or a Russian RPG7.

May the name "Bradley Strawser" live in infamy, like John Yoo, the torture apologist; look for BOTH of their names, at the upcoming Nuremberg Tribunals, 2.0.

It's extremely frustrating that there are no accurate polls regarding the election, but I think this pretty much confirms what Dr. Paul says about freedom being popular.
