FUBO!! FUTSA!! FUGOVT!!

[RC2]

The King and his servants won’t get screened.....count on it.

[vpintheak]

Some animals are more equal than others.

[JimSEA]

The less often the ruling elites share the privations and discomforts of the common man the closer tyranny comes.

[moovova]

Cabinet secretaries, top congressional leaders, an exclusive group of senior U.S. officials, commercial pilots, flight attendents, TSA workers, mooslems...

Everyone is equal, but some our more equal than others! LOL. Who DIDN’T expect a double standard? Poor American Sheeple.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It's good to be a member of the ruling class.

They may have undergone extensive background checks, but that wouldn't prevent a terrorist from forcing them to carry bomb-making materials secreted on their persons.

Check everyone or check no one.

[Jack Hammer]

They don’t want anyone to find out what everyone already knows: it’s an essential fact of life as a congressman/senator that he be d1ckless and have no balls.

[SkyDancer]

"but many of the exempted government officials have gone through several levels of security clearances, including FBI background checks."

Except of course Obama ...

[Uncle Miltie]

Third post! Can’t pull the wool over your eyes.

[Last Dakotan]

an exclusive group of senior U.S. officials

What Czars are these?

[MWS]

Why the American people aren’t rioting over these blatant double standards is beyond me.

We need to be writing to our congress critters and insisting that if the American people are going to be forced to go through this b***s***, government officials must be required to do so as well.

Differing standards for the ordinary populace and for the ruling classes is the very definition of tyranny.

[2harddrive]

President Obama did not go through any government screening! He has never even shown a Birth Certificate! Why should we believe that OTHER Fed.gov “officials” have gone through any screening?

[Uncle Ike]

Did the TSA screeners threaten a mass walk-out?? I mean, they gotta draw the line somewhere, as to what they’ll touch....

[don-o]

Lotsa F words in a lot of recent posts. We got the U. How long before we just make it real with the C and the K?

Then. we can be as passionate and emphatic as the DUmmies and the Kos Kiddies. /s

You put that Facebook “Like” button up. I might consider mashing it, if you would consider getting the language cleaned up.

[Brilliant]

Of course the important people don’t need to comply.
