The author could not get her piece published in the usual mainstream media suspects. From her Advice Goddess blog post:
"I don't understand it. I went to countless mainstream news outlets in America and every one of them refused to publish this -- my op-ed on our eroding civil liberties and what we need to do to stand up for them.
"Media outlets that refused to publish this piece include the LA Times, The New York Times, Reuters, CNN.com, The Huffington Post, AOL, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo.com, MSNBC.com, and The Washington Post.
"Apparently, only the Russian media cares about discussing civil liberties in America. The Russian newspaper Pravda published the piece about an hour after I sent it to them. (My next try was going to be North Korea, but the furor there following Kim Jun Il's death made that seem like kind of a bad idea.)"
Why Did I Have To Go To Pravda To Get My Op-Ed About TSA Rape Published?
It looks like the govt. unions are paying for plaintiff lawyers to file intimidation lawsuits to shut up anyone from complaining about overreaching intrusions by govt. employees. That's pretty scary.
Thedala magee should go to prison.
And the author’s solution is for more women to cry at checkpoints??? That is just not the American way of accomplishing things.
What was the real motive of the woman TSA employee? Was she trying to humiliate the victim or gain plesure from the pat down or just overly vigirous in her security duties?
As Benjamin Franklin (I think it was Ben) said:
“Those who would trade freedom for security will have neither freedom nor security.”
If this ever happens again, don’t sob. Look the offender straight in the eye and say in a loud voice: “You getting a thrill out of this honey? CAUSE I’M NOT!”
None of this happened until some Muslims ran airplanes into our buildings, and tried to blow up planes with shoes and underwear. And the minute we relax they will do it again. They have vowed to do so until we are all dead or Muslim.
But we must be tolerant of other cultures such that our women, child, old and our nuns, are groped by a government body that is not searching incident to an arrest and this goes beyond a Terry Frisk.
PING!
“Thedala Magee”, huh? Sounds like Ms. Alkon got caught up in a case of of ‘reparations’ and payback at the hands of one of our dusky sisters, eh?
I have had the pat down, not for what I did, but for the stupid TSA rules. A wanding would have cleared it up in a minute, but rules required a pat down, which held the long line behind me for ten minutes.
Constitution?
WHAT constitution????
Fuggedaboudit.
The US Constitution is little more than a museum exhibit these days.
And the elitist media are loving it - they’ve always felt they’re more qualified to run the government than the Great Unwashed; i.e., we the people.
Well that worked out really well.
