President Obama's Wake Up Call...

David S. Broder wrote in his Washington Post column, "The Christmas Plot appears to have shaken Obama like nothing else that happened in his first year. When he allowed the White House to quote his warning to his Cabinet colleagues that another 'screw-up' like that could not be tolerated, he seemed to signal that his benign leadership style had reached its limits."

Wil writes:
Our national security and the safety of our citizens, and any other country's citizens in the trust of our nation while they are here visiting, should not be a partisan issue.

The leadership style and philosophy of the President and his benign, global apologetic style and trusting nature to the enemies of our Constitution abroad are just infecting his department/cabinet leadership and as a result they COLLECTIVELY have looked the other way at warnings received and not acted on valid concerns that this past Christmas could have gone very badly for Americans in Detroit... it doesn't matter that the flight was coming into Detroit from an overseas airport and that country allowed the 'alleged terrorist' into the terminal and onto the flights intially, it was our government that allowed the threats to go unchecked and not have placed him on a non-entry list so he couldn't have gotten onto that flight.

President Obama needs to realize that his magnanimous HOPES that if he trusts them and respects them and APOLOGIZES to everyone that they will stop trying to attack us is just false. He also needs to come to terms that he is the one ultimately responsible for any breeches of the national security of the US. He can delegate authority but he cannot delegate resposibility, there is a reason the POTUS is called the CHIEF EXECUTIVE - it means he is the highest authority and responsible stake holder. Take a note from President Harry Truman Mr. Obama, "The Buck Stops Here" refers to the ultimate responsibility that is left in the hands of the POTUS

One thing and one thing only makes us an enemy to SO MANY people regardless of how NICE YOU ARE TO THEM, do you know what that is my friends? It is the beautiful LIVING document that was crafted OVER 234 years ago by a convention of 13 colonies and adopted and passed as the Constitution of the United States.... By virtue of our citizenship and the values of this country, we are enemies to people whom we have no quarrel with, yet they find a problem with us because we dilute the message they are trying to spread. America symbolizes the thing they are trying to destroy and their message holds no water with us in existence...

Full Body Screening - TSA's Airport Security Escalations

I have recently been reading and hearing alot of different opinions on the TSA's decision to enhance airport and passenger security by engaging these new "backscatter" imaging devices that create a mesomorphic scan of the individual that reveals the lines of their body and any "un-natural" objects that they may be hiding under their clothes and near their skin.

Some of the comments I have read are just moronic:

This one was posted by someone only identified as L on the Nothing To Do With Arbroath: Full body x-ray to be tested at U.S. airport blog;

"Yeah, sure it blurs the naughty bits. Right. How long will it be before those images start popping up (unblurred) on porn sites? All it takes is one idiot in a position of power..."

Here is another comment that was just as moronic posted on the same blog by someone identified as Tsitsi-which may be shorthand for African/Islamic wannabe terrorist who doesn't have the sack to pull it off...

"That's it, I'm not flying to the US until they stop this senseless "war on terrorism". Which might not be in my lifetime."



Trust me Tsitsi flyer, we really don't want or even need you here with an attitude like that. These are measures to protect citizens of the United States AS WELL AS OTHER countries travelling to/through the U.S. I am sorry that Canada, and wherever you are from, have no warrior ethic to fight back instead of being a constant victim economy of apathy.

Let's for a minute just focus on the comment aimed at this technology being abused for "pornographic" reasons... (and I am literally laughing out loud here, folks) I don't know about you, but this picture, and some of the newer technology ones that actually create a line drawing "likeness of the outline of the natural contours of the person being screened, ...they are about as pornographic as Picasso's "Guernica"!


Actually, Guernica is alot more sexier and provocative than the TSA security lab director, Susan Hallowell's body (who was the test subject in the second image above). The scan actually makes her look more like one of the hive zombies from the recent Will Smith flick "I am Legend"...

So come on America and our global neighbors, grow up and move on, terrorism wins most when they have altered your lifestyle and when you are talking about them. Stop talking and live your lives, move on and ignore them...
