...we will continue to work to counter violent extremism and radicalization in the United States and overseas...

This is this idiot's term for Americans who've had quite enough of this evil, communist administration's crap!

Napolitano’s conclusion:

“Because some in Amerika continue the insensitive practice of celebrating Christmas, which includes those who wish to acknowledge the legend of Jesus Christ as an alleged Savior of christians from eternal damnation, as well as the conspicuous consumption of the Santa Claus crowd, those that belong to the Muslim Faith, which we now know to be the Religion of Peace, have become outraged by the insensitivity of Americans. As such, the Dept of Homeland Security has banned the celebration of the alleged savior, Jesus, as well as Santa. Instead, as part of the Healthcare Reform Bill, which Max Baucas, who was not drunk, fisted through the Senate on the eve of the holiday formerly known as Christmas, every American will be required to purchase the Koran. Further, Turbo Tim Geithner will raise your taxes so damn high, that none of you will be able to buy gifts for the holiday formerly known as Christmas. Instead, the all-knowing government will extend the Cash for Clunkers programs to include, Cash for Jihadists, Cash for Stupidity, Cash for Crackheads, Cash for Progressives. And no, there will be no Cash for Christians. We are confident that this will stem the tide of human caused unanticipated events that Dick Cheney used to refer to as Terrorism. May Allah Bless America. Allah Akbar and Happy New Year.”

Signed,

Big Sis (because “Big Brother” sounds too Orwellian)

“Aaargh, another underling who has adopted the lingo of her boss.”

Same script writer, different mouthpiece.

It’s past time for Butch Napolitano to go.

I shudder to think whom Obama might select as a replacement.

From Op-Ed: “...Northwest Flight 253 near Detroit is a powerful illustration that terrorists will go to great lengths to try to defeat the security measures that have been put in place since September 11, 2001.”

Apart from the “great length” of boarding a plane with a bomb, what is illustrated is the great length a pc beauracracy will go to in pretending to address a problem while protecting the problem makers.

Napolitano and Co. are continuing to investigate who was behind this latest attack. The terrorist himself, as well as Al Queda have already claimed responsibility, but Big Sis is still investigating.

Next, we will spend billions on human body scanners. So everyone is inconvenienced. But this way we won’t have to “profile”. This guy:
1. bought a ticket with cash
2. bought the ticket in a country that isn’t on the Travelocity list of countries anyone would want to visit.
3. didn’t check in any bags.
4. didn’t have a passport.
5. his father called twice to tell intelligence agencies that he feared his son was going to do something bad.
6. was not permitted entrance into England

But Big Sis won’t allow us to use any of that information to screen this guy because that is profiling and we would must remain politically correct in all of this, even if it means people dying unnecessarily.

A friend asked this morning, “how could they not piece this together”? I said, “they didn’t have to piece anything together. They were given a completed puzzle!”

It’s either gross incompetence or willful negligence. Neither answer is a good one...

LOL!! I had to do a double-take to catch the sign. At first, I thought you were just referring to the return of the interminably long security lines.

Don’t worry, I witnessed the “enhanced screening” firsthand yesterday. While traveling home from Hawaii, my 53-year-old, blond, petite wife was singled out and frisked and wanded. I am sure all on our flight felt a bit safer.

Wow, don't you just love that deer-caught-in-the-headlights picture USA Today captioned the article with? Sort of makes you think of what Alfred E. Neuman's mom must look like.

we have increasingly focused on understanding the behaviors associated with violent extremism

Yeah, that should help, focusing on understanding behaviors. Let's see if I can help here:

1. Bomb building behavior: Caused by implacable hatred of the United States and implacable will to destroy it. Is irregular soldier in organized militia dedicated to destroying the United States.

2. Sneaking bomb on board U.S. aircraft with intent to detonate it and destroy aircraft behavior: Caused by implacable hatred of the United States and implacable will to destroy it. Is irregular soldier in organized militia dedicated to destroying the United States.

Now that you understand the behavior, Janet, you think perhaps you can stop focusing on that issue, and maybe perhaps focus on stopping it? Somehow, I think not.

This woman and her boss are extremely dangerous idiots, and unlike them, I'm not focused on understanding behaviors. I'm focused on driving them from office to prevent their behaviors.

We know that terrorists motivated by violent extremist beliefs desire to carry out acts of catastrophic violence.

Wow, I'm impressed as hell, Janet! And it only took 225,000 employees and an annual budget of 52 billion dollars to figure out that gem? Gosh, just think what ya'll could do with 500,000 employees and 100 billions dollars! You might be able to figure out that terrorists use things called bombs are some such methods to carry out their acts of catastrophic violence. Gosh, you'd be on an actual roll there, figuring out two nuggets in a row!

Ever time I'm sure there has to be some sort of absolute limit on the degree of stupidity possible in a single human being, Janet opens her mouth or publishes a little note, and my pathetic beliefs are shattered into a million pieces and my intellectual foundation is rocked to its core. "The horror, the horror."

I’m laughing at your comment, but also realize how scary it is.

I think Obama and his ilk are filled with the belief that all man is basically good and any bad behavior can be explained (poor upbringing, difficult potty training, raise in “unjust” conditions, blah, blah, blah). This is the group that seeks first to explain why the behavior is understandable, then tries to address what everyone else can do to get these people to stop their behavior (apologize to them for our wealth, feel guilty for believing Israel has a right to exist, etc).

Or, we can just say that blowing up planes is unacceptable irrespective of the reasons you think you should be able to, and we will find and kill each and everyone of you who tries to do that BEFORE you even get close to the airport.
