No, Mr. Obama, America is not safer.

How, exactly would you have handled the situation in Boston?
Watched the Boston insanity much of yesterday. Too bad they didn’t kill both perps. Chris Wallace of Fox News made a good point. He said “how many people in the area do you think, might like a gun to be able to protect themselves and defend their homes?”
Whho boy, one can have a field day theorizing all these SWAT teams, police and even NG on a hunt for Muslim Democrat Terrorists, and they stumble upon a coincidental militia staging area of thousands of militia member’s ready to embark upon a 2nd Amendment march with full intentions of a show of force against an illegal government.
Militia is fully armed as well, they may not have the nifty MRAPS or choppers but make up in quantity of its soldiers.
My Advice:
Bring your own bomb shelter!
I have watched FOX News this morning, and it seem’s to me that they have taken a stance of catagorizing the bombers as “Chechen” terrorist, and not Islamic religious fanatics. I don’t believe that nationality, or domestic vs. foreign labels are valid. It is the “religionosity” that was the root cause. Fanatic Islamic belief’s to be specific.
Here’s what I found interesting this morning:
I’m in the Boston area listening to the talk show feedback. While everyone is applauding the de facto police state, and others on this thread asking what *should* law enforcement have done in the alternative, much of the criticism was about the one person who [shouting mode on] BROKE THE RULES OF THE POLICE STATE, walked outside and noticed a blood trail. [shouting mode off]. If he and everyone else would have obeyed the rules, you may have never found the perp.
Lesson: It’s better to have a million extra pairs of eyes instead of just a few whose first priority is not become the next victim.
Also, with all the glad-handing being done by law enforcement and others, this case AGAIN displays a great weakness in American society for future enemies to exploit.
Just like with the DC sniper, a couple of individuals hell bent on destruction can cause a whole area to go into lockdown. In DC is was just roadblocks everywhere. In Boston , it was Martial Law (sans rounding up suspects at random).
Just think about what our enemies are visualizing while watching American TV and America’s reaction to it all?
I’ll leave you with this: Back in about 1999, some U.S. Army pilot flying an A-10 with 4-500 lb bombs strapped under its wings decided to change course and vanish off radar (I’m sure some of you remember this story - it was during the McVeigh trial in Denver). Some stupid General (who should have immediate fired) gave a press conference saying “Once the pilot turned north and went below 500 feet, we lost him on radar due to the ground clutter, and that’s why we can’t find him”. Thank you, General Idiot for explaining to the world how to lose a plane in U.S. Airspace.
... this is what pretty much happened again 2 years later. There’s a couple of missing skyscrapers to show for it.
Think about it.
These two were expendable delivery boys for a larger islamoterrorist group.
What advice would you give the country if you were on tv?
GET SCARED GET SCARED GET SCARED!!!! TRAGEDY PORN!!!
CITY ON LOCKDOWN (which, really? A city the size of Boston in complete shutdown for one guy?)
Get back to normal.
I just can’t take the media and even some of the government anymore. They manipulate with emotions far too often.
