Have the terrorists won? You betcha

Posted on November 16, 2010 | Comments Off on Have the terrorists won? You betcha

One of several succinct commenters on this Reuters news article:

“The rag-heads won, didn’t they? We now have f-ing idiot security people in place who don’t think, invasion of our privacy, a huge organization that has not prevented a damn thing since they were created but have collected cuticle scissors, manicure sets and lots of bottled water and cola. Support no travel day. If successful then it should be upped to once a week. Defund TSA and put the money into research and profiling. Just because we are human doesn’t mean we can’t be smart.”

Ah, but the government doesn’t want us to be smart. Much easier to govern idiots. The connected just show their pass. The unwashed get the pat-down prostate exam.

UPDATE:  Iowahawk’s Ballad of TSA, Comply With Me:

“Comply with me, you domestic coach class bums
If you opt out I’ll just give a shout
To my icy-handed chums
Comply with me, bend over here it comes….

“Don’t crack wise or I’ll ruin your whole day
Please don’t frown when I pat you down
It alerts the CIA
It’s perfectly legal practice except at Gitmo Bay
Comply with me, comply comply
Comply with me, obey, obey, obey!”

National Opt-Out Day

Posted on November 13, 2010 | Comments Off on National Opt-Out Day

Good thing I’m not flying on Nov. 24, so I don’t have to test this idea. But some people are finally starting to protest the intrusive federal airport security, to include pat-downs of breasts and genitals and scanners showing the body under the clothes.

Cobb sees a perfect opportunity for Obamalot to raise its polling by cutting back on this crap. Not that they would, of course. That would be far too much hope-n-change. Thus opt-out day. Of course if you do “opt out,” you will get the pat-down from the federal stooges. Figures. Screwed either way.

Waiting for the forces of Mooselim decency

That Tom Friedman of the NYTimes, what a card. Or as Snoopy-the-Goon says, it takes a village to raise an idiot.

The Sarah Palin administration

Posted on November 5, 2010 | Comments Off on The Sarah Palin administration

Super good idea to quash her seriousness deficit. I especially like John Bolton as secretary of state. Nobody takes Hilarity seriously, but everybody would pay attention to Bolton. Also Petraeus as secretary of defense.

And so on. Let them address the policy questions the overpaid, blow-dry journos like to pretend they understand. One thing seems dead certain to me. No matter how bad Barry is between now and then, no white guy is going to beat him in 2012. But a woman could.

Jack Reacher, emotional incompetent

Posted on November 2, 2010 | Comments Off on Jack Reacher, emotional incompetent

I used to read Jack Reacher thrillers. Now I see I have missed the latest two in a row. I think I overdosed on him back when he was shilling for the Democrats in denouncing the campaign in Iraq.

I’d finally realized that Jack was just another Leftist messenger from New York, a murderous one for the violence-freaks, but in the end a bore with a toothbrush who was so emotionally stunted that he couldn’t abide a serious relationship with anyone.

J’accuse!

Posted on October 25, 2010 | Comments Off on J’accuse!

Spanish journalist Pilar Rahola, on accepting the ADL’s Daniel Pearl Award:

“I accuse journalists and intellectuals of remaining silent before the barbaric oppression of millions of women, condemned to live under medieval laws which amputate them as human beings. No demonstrations, no Obama declaration, no boycott, nothing. These victims interest nobody, perhaps because Israelis or Americans cannot be blamed for their misfortune. And only anti-Americanism and anti-Israelism mobilizes their selective ire.

“I accuse journalists and intellectuals of remaining silent before the permanent slaughter of hundreds of Muslims, victims of Islamic bombs, whose plight interests nobody because one cannot put the blame on Jews nor on Americans.

“I accuse journalists and intellectuals of criminalizing Israel to the point of delirium, and of helping to create a mentality that is understanding with Palestinian terrorism.”

Millions of oppressed women. Ignored.

Radical Islam is older than dirt

“It  is a misfortune to human nature when religion is given by a conqueror. The Mahometan religion, which speaks only by the sword, acts still upon men with that destructive spirit with which it was founded.” — Montesquieu 1639-1755
