How long before Blackwater offers onboard security...
...for ships on the high seas? I can already hear the cash registers ringing.

2. Well, when you have so-called "liberals" and "progressives" making such remarks as

"A small craft comes anywhere near a larger vessel and you blow them the fuck out of the water and ask questions later.", I'm sure a lot of "liberals" and "progressives" will happily go along with all of the rightwingnut "kill em all & let God sort em out" mantra. Blackwater will make tons of cash...until enough innocents get killed and their remaining friends and family rise up and use terrorist tactics (unless they happen to be a first-world armed nation) in retaliation
and so the fucking circle continues.

9. Remember all the "strawman" crap the rightwingnuts love to use; if you
are against "A" then you must be for "X"?

Nothing in-between?

Remember if you were against invading an innocent nation who'd done nothing whatsoever to us, you must be a Saddam-lover.

Remember all that rightwingnut bullshit?

If you're against "A small craft comes anywhere near a larger vessel and you blow them the fuck out of the water and ask questions later.", you must be for "No security needed".

Amazing.

Sad. Disconcerting. And amazing.

6. At least there they'd legitimately earn their keep. . .
instead of stepping on the toes of regular military and screwing things up.
