"We are the aggressors in Ukraine"
This would appear to be true if you ignored the fact that the russians put a massive force of agitators there dressed as civilians controlled the elections and who beat citizens who democratically opposed the Russian dictator they installed. If you ignore all the provocations and dirty tricks it does indeed look like we meddled where we shouldn't have. If you forget to mention that hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians demonstrated against the Russian meddling and begged NATO to help them it does leave only the possibility that we somehow stuck our nose where it shouldn't have been. What we should have done is look the other way and let Russia take the Ukraine and kill the disidents just as they did all over Eastern Europe in the 40's and 50's.

"Consider also the drone war: dozens or hundreds of terrorist leaders killed or injured"
I fail to see how this is bad.

"thousands of bystanders killed or injured"
This could be true. It is hard to know because the terrorists always claim the dead terrorists were innocent locals gathering for a wedding or something. But consider the alternative when you don't try to stop them. We can see this in Iraq today. Have you watched the videos of the beheadings including teenage girls tied and beheaded because they didn't want to cooperate in their rape? Can you seriously think letting the terrorists run amuck is preferable to a legitimate effort to eliminate the leaders and thus slow the carnage.

"Then, of course, there is Ruby Ridge and Waco."
I'm not sure of the purpose with conflating these incidents with world wide terrorism. Ruby ridge was a terrible mistake; a ATF sting gone wrong. Once Mr Weaver failed to show up for his hearing the die was cast and it became a case of trying to apprehend a felon on the run. and went downhill from there.
Waco was an attempt by the ATF to make headlines and win some support. They had ample opportunity to apprehend Mr Koresh in town his habits were known. They preferred to storm the compound and make a big splash in the press; they did. BUT once those inside the compound fired on the federal agents they were clearly in the wrong. Stupid, stupid, stupid on their part. Mr Koresh decided he would rather kill his followers and die in the fire then surrender and that was sad. The FBI and ATF screwed up but it was Koresh who caused all those deaths.

High five!

"Why did Hillary go to the trouble and expense of using her own email server that was not secure when she could have free use of the State Dept."

I think we all know or suspect that Hillary was selling favors and taking payola. This was her private email where she could extort and defraud and hide her tracks. I have to say that for the smartest woman in the world she was incredibly naive about the internet and email. If justice is done there will be a tsunami of incriminating emails that will be recovered or "found". With any luck someone in the Chinese or Russian government will send some of those emails back.

You missed the point on the ebola crisis. The point is NOT that some people who feared an epidemic turned out to be wrong. The point IS that ebola should never have been allowed to enter the country in the first place and the administration did a crappy job protecting us from it. We were lucky. The prognosticators who feared the worst could have been right. The crisis also exposed the massive influx of "immigrants" from West Africa. Who knew that 150 West Africans a day were "coming to America"? Again another example of the administration working against the American citizens instead of for them.

"While Ebola is a deadly disease, it is relatively easy to contain as it is only spread by contact."

Do not under estimate the enemy. A lot of Western trained medical professionals with all the right equipment and training caught ebola. Many of them did in fact speculate that there was another way to catch it other than physically touching an infected person with bare hands. The theory is that it is possible to catch ebola from body fluids ejected by coughs and sneezes not to mention any body fluids. But again you miss the point. It is incredibly stupid to take a localized deadly disease into another country where that disease does not exist. It is totally contrary to good sense and medical science. Letting anyone fly directly to our country from these areas of infection was pure stupidity on the part of the administration. But then so wasn't allowing tens of thousands of children and adults in from Central and South America and placing them within our communities. It is almost as though Obama wanted to create a health crisis.

"It was more than reasonable to bring home medical personnel who had contracted the disease overseas working in less than ideal conditions."

I disagree. What would have been reasonable is to treat them right in place rather than transporting sick and communicable people to a country where that disease doesn't exist. As an alternative a single hospital (preferably in country) could have been designated to treat all medical personal that became infected. But to transport them to the U.S. or Europe was an unnecessary and foolish risk.

"experts disagreed"

Maybe. Maybe what really happened is those experts were looking out for themselves with total disregard for the citizens. If these "experts" want to go into a foriegn country of their own choice to fight a deadly highly communicable disease then they need to deal with the consequences. Don't play the hero and then wimp out and put the entire population of the U.S. at risk when you contract the disease yourself. The rules are and should be that you quarantine people when they get these kinds of diseases not spread them around the country. This was an abuse of power. No one was watching and the elite did what they wanted to do. That shouldn't be allowed.

Now you got it!! That is exactly the case. Quarantine means you stay put and don't endanger others.

You might remember that they did raise the alarm in the 60's and early 70's when it became obvious to 97% of the scientists that we were entering another ice age. You remember the scare stories when the temperatures went down alarmingly from the highs of 1934, the fear, the cries for more funding for scientists, etc. But no! It was just another scam gone wrong. The scientists very wisely picked the year 1934 to start their graphs and charts so that it emphasized the dramatic decrease in temperature but that damned mother nature double crossed them and temperatures moderated. But by the 90's another opportunity presented itself as temperatures returned to normal and actually increased from the lows of the late 60's. So once again 97% of the "scientists" claimed that global warming was going to destroy the earth and joined hands with socialists/marxists/communists and conveniently blamed it all on "profit" (key scary music). The corporations were destroying the earth and if we would just tax everyone and give the money to the scientists and politicians and raise the price of energy by 300% or more we could escape this terrible fate of burning to death. Gone were the temperature readings from the 1930's!! First they just ignored them (an inconvenient truth). Then they altered them to make 1934 seem downright pleasant. Because in fact it was warmer in the 30's then it has been since the 30's and that would blow the lid off the meme that CO2 is SOOOOO powerful that it is warming the earth. Then mother nature hit them again with no warming for the last 19 years; none, zip, nada! But no worries with their magic pen they found some warming and simply modified the temperature data to fit their agenda. After all how else can you force higher enegry costs and less jobs on the people except by hiding the truth?

Frankly I'm enjoying the show. Watching thousands of warmies flying to resorts on hundreds of fuel devouring jets to have their secret meetings. Watching global warming demonstrations being snowed and frozen out. Watching the latest frauds and lies to keep pushing this incredible lie. Watching the denigration and intimidation of scientists who don't agree and threaten the ficticious 97% consensus. What could possibly be next? Perhaps the dictator in the white house will eliminate coal by fiat and destroy an entire industry and set a disasterous depression in motion...
NO! That would be stupid...

And yet with CO2 increasing at a constant rate there has been ZERO warming for the last 19 years. There has been ZERO (or very close to ZERO) warming for the last hundred years. The 97% of scientists have had to alter the data to further the fraud.

Especially the last chart "average USHCN adjustments".

So what are you saying... That El Nino causes warming and not CO2? Or that CO2 causes El Ninos? Or that global warming DID NOT cause the California drought and it does cause El Ninos which will be beneficial to California and the Southwest? Or what? Exactly.
