TSA

There's a lot of discussion about the TSA advanced security screenings lately.
Personally, I never fly. I used to love flying until people went Security-crazy about a decade ago, and forgot that personal and civil liberties don't have to be checked, and thrown out if they contain more than 3oz. of patriotism.
Advanced security measures are a joke anyhow. x-rays that only penetrate clothing, pat downs through clothing...these things are NO GUARANTEE of safety.
Extremists could still hide explosives up their...... "Cavities" So what's next? Body-Cavity searches for everyone? -PASS.

And what's the point anyhow? Does not giving up out privacy in such a flagrant manner go completely against Benjamin Franklin's now very famous Proclimation that Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase temporary safety, deserve neither? Is not the freedom of privacy essential, is a flight not temporary?

How paranoid and trembly-scared have we, as a nation become when this doesn't just stir us to outrage? We're being groped by government officials.....Dramatic to say, I know, but think about it...Travelers are LITTERALLY paying money, and lining up to have Government security officials, Rummage through their things, and either take pictures of them naked, or physically grope them, with the real possibility of a strip, and full-body-cavity-search.....and they don't even buy you a drink.................In fact, they take the drinks you have AWAY!
Again, I know it seems dramatic, but in all reality, when you stop.....stop and REALLY think about it, can you honestly say you are comfortable with the situation? No? Then why do you tollerate it?

- I'm sure, to many, being checked in the airport is nothing more than a minor inconvenience, but to the observant, we see what's happening with the TSA and wonder, "Where does it end?"

Here, a private industry (airlines) has been hijacked by an overreaching Government (who are excluded from screenings, by the way) and we just let it pass like it's nothing.

Many would point to the patriot act,and the legalization of things like phone and internet monitoring, security cameras in public places, GPS tracking through your Cell Phone, and things like the Real ID act as signs that we've let things go TOO FAR!

I don't want to be labeled a nut-job, (too late) but can you honestly say you feel safer because of all this "Security?"
I for one feel FAR less safe! I just feel surrounded and bullied by the preverbial "Big Brother." I don't like it, I want to live in a world where I'm not being coddled by a Government. I think airline security should be up to the Airlines. not a group of unarmed police, formed 10 years ago, specifically to bully and harrass airlines and their passangers.

You know, airport security had a pretty good run pre- 9/11. If security were up to AIRLINES, in this, "post 9/11 world" I imagine we'd have some varriety in the strictness of security. I can see the advertising now..."don't like how unsecure you feel on that airline? distrusting of Muslims, and "other people?" We offer Gropings, and nude photos of you! to give you awkward, and uncomfortable peace of mind."
-and the counterpart, the airline which 'I' would fly: -"We won't touch you, we're straight with you; You may get hijacked, and the Airforce will shoot you down over branson, if you don't take controll back, are you okay with this? -Welcome aboard, sir!"


Frankly, I think The day I let myself be overpowered by nailclippers, is the day I deserve to die.

Something has occurred to me: It is the new Status Quo, that Health care is a "Right." So, it seems as though Food and Drink should also be a right, Perhaps shelter as well?
Here's an Idea: Maybe we could have our government distribute our food to us based on what THEY deem appropriate for each citizen, Just like health care, and then they could give us our shelter as well! Heck, lets just throw out Capitalism all together and go completely to Communism; That sounds acceptable, doesn't it?
How could it possibly go wrong?

.............................I can't imagine any way that government control of health care, food, and shelter could ever go wrong.

Some may not be able to see the connection between health care and sustenance. But It is VERY obvious to me, that it is another inevitable step. Some people are uninsured, we'll provide it. Some people can't eat, we'll feed them.
Isn't our new (false) Messiah so generous? Bestowing rights on us like a god? Curring his people's illness....Never mind the very human cost of all his Gracious "gifts."

It's Communism.
And if communism is so Great, why have people in Communist Nations routinely risked their lives to escape?
Even in the Liberal holy land, the Fee(albeit Horrible)Health care land of Cuba. People routinely risk their own lives, and the lives of their families on a gamble of long odds, to ride any piece of scrap they can find to com to the amazing, CAPITALIST America. Because Freedom is THAT important.

But here we are, throwing away our hard fought reward of freedom; and for what?
A false promise that SOME, not all but SOME Americans will be covered for limited health insurance, and a promise of further control of our very lives.

In writing this, I've been trying to think up one instance of when a Non-Criminal has ever fled the Us, for freedom; The funny thing is, I can only think of one instance, and t was the case of the parents who fled to Mexico with their daughter, trying to escape what?
Government Mandated Health care.

I'll end this entry on that note.

Burning the Constitution.

Well my friends, They've done it.
They have thrown out Checks and balances, they have ignored the American people, and they have Bastardized the very teachings and standards of the founding fathers.

We are lost.

The time for negotiations is past. Every time we tried reason, progressives blocked us with irrationality, and blind ambition for control. A time of action is upon us. I am speaking of a revolution.
We MUST take back our nation. We MUST fight. We MUST above all else, restore our nation.
We must rise up and overthrow our corrupt, and unpatriotic leadership.
We must protect our country, and our constitution from all threats both foreign AND Domestic.

And this Health care bill, and the sleazy and snakelike ways it has been rammed through, despite majority contention, and bypassing the house of representatives.....
My countrymen, this is in every way a threat; Nay, an assault on the very foundation on the freedom and foundation of our nation.

It falls to us. It falls to everyday people, Fathers and Mothers, Sons and daughters, EVERY MAN, WOMAN and CHILD to rise and TAKE BACK OUR NATION.
We no longer have the luxury of apathy. We are all effected, and if we let this pass without consequence, we will all be responsible for the destruction of Freedom, of over two hundred years of liberty, ambition, and decency. Stand my fellow Americans, Stand and fight!
Fight until we reclaim our Country.

Stand.

Stand and be counted. Stand for freedom. Stand for what you know in your hearts is right. Please join me. My Countrymen.

Please just Stand.
