Freedom Chicken strikes down Surveillance State asset

Just a State Department of Natural Resources drone, not a CIA one carrying cocaine.  This time.  But Freedom Chicken is watching.  And waiting.
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."
--Lysander Spooner

That is funny.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

There are youtube videos of eagles and hawks downing drones

Crappy Chinese DJI Phantom. Doesn't count. Let me know when the birds take out an MQ-9. :P

Don't need an eagle for that, just a lieutenant.

Can a MQ-9 survive a bird strike?
