Homeland Insecurity

To anyone credulous enough, to actually believe in government competence and having our best interests at heart, irrespective of party and ideology, allow me to take your rosy red glasses and smash them into an oblivion.

If the Secret Service cant keep wanna be reality stars from crashing the White House, what makes us think the same government is going to prevent some tiny, disgruntled piss ant little terrorist wannabe with explosives in his Shiite stained underoos.

You cannot stop a perverse ideology by looking at child cock and fat white American ass prior to boarding a plane. Seriously, the enhanced airport security in the wake of the botched Christmas terror attack, particularly the proposed body scanners, in fact violate child pornography laws.

Is Herbert from Family Guy now heading the TSA?

We mustn't allow ourselves to think of this as most dispensationalist end of days fundamentalists do; that is, in terms of a winnable "us versus them" eschatology. This is not a winnable war; believing so means that you’re either an elected official looking to score political brownie points or your pharmacy was out of thorzine. I mean, it's the equivalent of thinking you can defeat rape and murder.Such Manichean thinking defined our foreign policy for the past eight years and left us much less safe. Terrorism can only be extenuated and put in check, and doing so is a matter of law & order. Making people strip down, although fun and sexy, will do nothing to stop some whiny, dispossessed douche from becoming radicalized. Religion, for my part, is perhaps more dangerous than guns, but so is propping up a corrupt narco state in Afghanistan.

In short, to all of the dyspeptic conservatives putting their hatred of health care in abeyance, us liberals haven't smoked so much pot that we somehow forgot that, in fact, it took George Bush 6 days to come out and make a statement about Richard Reed deciding to light his shoe to bring an American plane down while over the Atlantic. They also don’t want you to know that there were no military tribunals to try Reed in, because their hero George W. Bush tried both and Jose Padilla in federal court. Indeed, the hypocrisy will make your eyes bleed!
