Iraqi dissidents wave model plane

Let me help you pea brain! NEO = NEW. CON = CONSERVATIVE. GET IT? Nothing very mysterious about it or unfactual about it. They are the New Conservatives. It's the rise of nationalism. The rights of the government over those of the people.

It would appear not, as I was addressing Paul in the post you replied to.

...but you are unable to demonstrate them.

Hope you didn't bet money on that. 4 more years. Get used to it.

Nonsense, of course. This country was based on freedom of religion and no taxation without representation.

Evidence? When was blinking made a crime?

Not without supporting facts, it doesn't.

Best description of the LIEberal platform I've ever seen.

Then you can't possibly be refering to me. I've been a conservative since before I was old enough to vote.

How ironic, coming as it does from a proponent of the 'Government-as-Big-Brother' party.

Almost none whatsoever.

Never said they would or wouldn't! I'm simply stating that models could be used if so desired. Review your English Comprehension!

As for would they use them? Hard to say. I suspect it depends on what they intended to do, how soon and what assets they had on hand. OTOH, how much does a tactical nuke weigh and could a 1/3 Extra pick it up?

You know, it's fun to make jokes about it. Especially since we know the impracticality of it. But those who would ban our hobby see it only as a possible threat. They look at the UAV industry and see how many of those resemble our models. Then they look at Predator and how it took out a car with a Hellfire. And they ask themselves, is this hobby worth the threat to our voters? Guess what happens next?

I'll bet enough damage to cause Congress to consider a closer look at this hobby!

There you go! Putting words into others mouths yet again! But then, you would rather just surrender to everyone via appeasement wouldn't you?

Reg is a creditable and up to-date intelligence source..... Bwahahaha

You mean as opposed to "Commrad NP"?

And still a far sight less than what they pay in the old countries!

I can see why somebody recently posted a question as to why the number of posts on this NG has declined. I downloaded the posts today, and half of them involved a topic that has turned into a political pissing match. The use of this group for political bickering is disgusting. I for one use this group to gain or share information on my hobby, radio-controlled model airplanes, not for political bickering. The forums on

Flame suit on, activating kill file...

It depends. 5 pounds of C4 in a shaped charge can punch a nice precision hole, or in a unidirectional blast, it can shake things a bit. I suppose if you could pilot into a substation through the interference, you may luck out and shut it down.... Or, you could trow a 20lb satchel charge and have a much better chance of shutting it down.

To strike a grid, you would need strong intelligence and a solid cruise missle model capable of fly-by-wire. The jobbie would have to hit a 3' square or less target area and explode at the right time to deliver the shock wave appropriately to the target. Or, you could throw a satchel charge at it and be sure the job was done right.

The key is intelligence and the will to strike. Few have the grapes, fewer still have the brains.

Our hobby is not dangerous to anyone. Even our fuel(non synthetic) is harmless to the land. Cruise missles are WAY different than R/C airplanes, but understanding R/C is a springboard to knowledge of aerospace. The govermedia tells us that they are dangerous, not because they hurt people but because the knowledge empowers people. Model rocketry is now subject to ATF because the engines are defined as explosive devices! They arent afraid of model rocket engines or toy airplanes, they are afraid of the children of the USA growing up with knowledge of rocketry and aerospace. Why?.... after a few more years of news items like this..... those kids may become 'terrorists', or try to escape this enormous prison colony.

Today I read about a school teacher being dragged from her cruise ship berth at 6:30am in leg irons to a federal judge because of leaving her chocholate milk on a picknick table in Yellowstone, even though she had already paid for the ticket.

Why don't you look at the 5 year charts for each of the major US stock indecies. I think you will see that all of them started the free fall during the latter stages of the campaignes or just after the election.

Oh, and the sustained 8 years of unprecedented stock market gains started, coincidentally, around the same time as the beginning of the Microsoft persecution.

Typical Klondike. Paints everyone with the same brush but has no independent thoughts of his own.

Bush stood up in front of everyone and proclaimed that Iraq had tons of unaccounted for WMDs. Where are they? That site you posted came out and said that there was not enough evidence to say there were WMDs in Iraq. But that part you ignore because it doesn't support your views.

anti-american.

You certainly haven't proven anything except your blind following of a group of crazy people.

What else would you expect from him?
