Bring Back America

It wasn’t very long ago that the Agent of Change promised to veto pork-barrel bills. But like so many other promises this one continues to be broken weekly. At a VFW meeting in Phoenix the tough talking Prez said “If a system doesn’t perform, we will terminate it. And if Congress sends me a defense bill loaded with pork, I will veto it. ” But not so much.

Take a look at some of the goodies in 2010 Defense Appropriations Bill, just signed by the President last week. The $4.2 billion in pork spending must fall under some Clintonian meaning of pork.

Among the list of pork:

∙$5 million for a visitors center in San Francisco
∙$23 million for indigent health care in Hawaii
∙$18 million for the Edward Kennedy Policy Institute in Massachusetts
∙$1.6 million to computerize hospital records in Oakland
∙$47 million for anti-drug training centers around the country
∙$20 million for the World War II Museum in Louisiana
∙$3.9 million grant to develop an energy-efficient solar film for buildings
∙$800,000 for minority prostate cancer research
∙$3.6 million for marijuana eradication in Kentucky
∙$2.4 million for handicap access and a sprinkler system at a community club in New York

Every dollar spent for crap like this is one less dollar spent for our troops. It’s laughable that these thieves in Washington, particularly on the left, act as though they are offended when they are called out as frauds. The President and the lying swines in Congress are a bunch of crooks committing grand theft of your wealth. This time it’s at the expense of our troops.

Joe Wilson was proven right again. You lie, Barack.

“I think there are situations like this where we are afraid of being accused of profiling. The fact is while the overwhelming majority of Muslims are outstanding people, on the other hand 100% of the Islamic terrorists are Muslims, and that is our main enemy today. So while we should not be profiling people because of their religion, at the same time we should not be bending over backwards to somehow keep them off a list.”

And the liberal douchebag counter: Tim McVeigh. Morons!

Get your vomit bag ready. He who adores himself tells NPR why Muslims dig him so much.

Is it any wonder that Democrats have a reputation for being weak on national security? Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Bennie Thompson- (Dumb-ass, Miss.) had this brilliant masterpiece to say: “You pat down every person who’s suspicious. I don’t think you have to target people. This Swedish grandmother could just as well be a part of a terrorist plot as anyone else. So I think we have to be very careful when we try to target people.”

Therein lies the root of our problems in trying to protect this country. If your local cops spent their resources on surveillance in front of the local gardening club instead of at a known gang hangout on crack alley they would soon find themselves looking for work.

Why then should airline scanners waste their time frisking a Swedish grandma when Achmed and Abdul are next in line behind her? If Bennie Thompson doesn’t understand that he should be removed, not only from his chairmanship, but from even serving on the Homeland Security Committee. With a moron like Bennie calling the shots I’m not getting that fuzzy secure feeling.

Bennie’s dopiness didn’t stop there. He said “It’s a matter of money. You know, security is an issue, but as we struggle with this economy, there’s only so much money we can dedicate to this particular issue.”

Stop the presses for a moment. Didn’t Bennie and the rest of his Marxist party members just commit to spending about 3 or 4 trillion dollars over the last 11 months? Propping up car companies, insurance companies and unions is more important than national security? I think Mr. Thompson has lost sight of what his job is. Bennie’s got to go. Like most liberals, including the leader of his party he is clearly incapable of keeping this country safe. The damage these clowns are inflicting on us seems to be never ending.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – In the wake of the Christmas Day
airline terror attempt, the Department of Homeland Security today said it
was instituting a bold new series of security measures, including issuing
an official “proof of terrorism” I.D. card.
“All potential terrorists must have the terrorist I.D. card in order to
be barred from boarding,” said Homeland Security secretary Janet
Napolitano. “If you want to get on the no-fly list you’ll need a
completed application and the $25 fee.”
Ms. Napolitano said that while the terror suspect’s father had warned the
U.S. about his son weeks before the incident, the Homeland Security Dept.
was tightening rules in that area as well: “In the future, it will be
necessary for a terrorist’s mom and dad to warn us before we take it
seriously.”
The Homeland Security chief said that her department would continue to
crack down on the primary threat to air safety: shampoo.
“We will be looking out for shampoo like never before,” she said. “If you
want to smuggle it on board, you had better hide it with your bomb-making
supplies.”
She also praised the Department’s decision to ban in-flight bathroom use:
“One thing every terrorist has in common is that they eventually need to
pee.”

WTF is up with Finance Committee Chairman Max (Foster Brooks) Baucus? Does the bill cover alcohol dependence therapy?

Here we go with some new PC stupidity. Airlines are imposing a host of new asinine regulations in order to keep you safer in the sky. No, they are not banning Muslims from flying.

Passengers are now confined to their seats for the last hour of their flight. In that last hour of flight time they will no longer be able to use a pillow or a blanket and they will have no access to books or newspapers. Basically the new solution to dealing with Muslims that wish to blow up planes is to treat everyone else like children. I hope the airlines will be stocking up with a large supply of stain remover.

In addition to these new measures passengers can expect longer delays in lines, more body searches and more intrusive searches into carry-on bags. Anyone inconsiderate enough to have a disease like diabetes, which requires insulin and needles, will have a lot of explaining to do.

As it stands right now pilots cannot enter the cockpit with nail clippers. True, nail clippers have been the weapon of choice in so many hijackings. But here’s what’s most outrageous about that stupid rule, the cockpit usually has an axe in it. Axes are safe, but nail clippers are dangerous.

Really, do airlines actually think they can stop someone from going to the lavatory if a person needs to use it? Is that the best these idiots can come up with?  And how many times are flights delayed, and end up in a holding pattern circling the airport? One hour soon becomes two hours. Two hours of crossing your legs and staring at the person sitting next to you because you can’t read a book.

This plan is total bullshit. Everyone knows the reason all these rules were put in place and no one has the spine to say it. How many grannies in wheelchairs have attempted to blow up planes? Have any girl scouts tried? And how many families with kids in strollers have threatened to bring down jets? Napolitano seems to think returning veterans and Ron Paul voters are dangerous. Have any of them blown up planes? No.

There is one and only one group threatening to blow up planes, Muslim jihadists. So why are they not profiling Muslim men 18-50 years old? Doing this would be common sense. In addition to taking that approach wouldn’t it make sense to pay extra attention to passengers whose names are on terrorist lists? Wouldn’t it also be wise to pay attention to passengers whose fathers warn the State Department that their sons may be terrorists?

Now that Abdul Farouk Umar Amadumfuk wore explosives in his drawers every passenger may have to undergo a cavity search? Is that rational? I’d make the claim that every man wearing a dirty long night shirt should have to undergo a cavity search, but who on earth would take that job? Airlines will have to hike their rates 500 percent just to cover the cost of finding someone to take that job.

The answer is simple, profile, profile, profile. That is the only way to lessen the threat. Cut out the politically correct nonsense and the airlines will be safer. Until then be sure to pack a lot of extra diapers for the kids and the adults as well.

How is it possible to write a story about the failed terror attack on a NW Airlines flight without any mention of you know who? That’s just what the NY Times did. How are we ever going to defeat this enemy if we refuse to recognize who he is? Then again, we have a commander who is not comfortable using the term “victory.”

More than 276,000 federal employees and retirees owed back income taxes as of Sept. 30, 2008, according to data from the Internal Revenue Service. Remember the same rules don’t apply to them.  More reason for a simplified tax code. But don’t bet on it. It’s a lot easier for the looters to get at your money this way.
