Obama's police state
The Washington Times ^ | November 26, 2010 | Jeffrey T. Kuhner

Posted on 11/26/2010 12:04:26 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

President Obama is engaging in a relentless assault on our freedoms and constitutional government. The growing backlash against the new

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) airport screening procedures signifies that Americans finally may have had enough.

There is a grass-roots revolt against state-sanctioned sexual harassment. And who can blame the protesters? Children are stripped of their shirts, and their private parts are touched. Nuns and old ladies are groped by intrusive TSA agents. Breasts have been fondled. Men's crotches have been patted down. Full-body scanners show images of people naked - a clear violation of privacy and civil liberties.

The administration insists that the enhanced procedures are vital for national security. The rationale: Last year's underwear bomber nearly blew up a plane flying over Detroit. Hence, everyone's private parts are now the property of the federal government - at least when flying.

This is wrong and dangerous. Airport screening procedures have been a huge experiment in mass political correctness. For fear of insulting Muslims, the U.S. government has insisted that all Americans take off their shoes, pull out their belts and walk through metal detectors at airports. Americans have patiently put up with these inconveniences. But now, for many, enough is enough. "Don't touch my junk" has become a national rallying cry.

The central problem with modern airport security is that it falsely assumes that every person - each of the 7 billion people who inhabit the planet-is an equal terrorist threat. The 80-year-old Irish Catholic nun, the 3-year-old toddler, the 61-year-old bladder cancer survivor whose urine bag was punctured by TSA apparatchiks - all of them, according to Mr. Obama, are potential suicide bombers. They're not. To pretend they are is to engage in leftist multicultural fantasy....

I used to hope that after OThuga was installed, that maybe as high as 40% of FREEPERS had awakened.

Now, I’m not at all sure of that.

Your 20% may be generous.

Of major concern is the virtual certainty that some of the senior, old-timer . . . FREEPER elites . . . were assigned to become such by said powers that be . . . as sleeper agents . . . well taught to appear as genuine conservatives etc. etc. etc. until the time when they would wield their influence in critical other directions.

It’s been increasingly disturbing to see so many old timers saying startlingly naysaying things to factual conservative stuff . . . more or less functionally in behalf, to great or lesser degree . . . of various aspects of globalism.

What are the guesstimates of the

END TIMES LIST MEMBERS

as to how many FREEPERS—what %% are really aware of the evils and insideous treasonous reaches of globalism already and the looming fulfillments of Biblical prophecy re the global government and the END TIMES?

You are correct. It is only to condition the sheep to obey orders without questioning.

Why do you think the push is on Nationwide for “light rail transpotration”? To get the sheep out of cars and trucks so they can be easier controlled until time to dispose of them.

My guess would be something like 10% of FR members are aware of the Sorosians and their predecessors, the Rockefellers etc.

That might be a too-generous estimate though.

You could well be right.

Sometimes I wonder if it’s 5%.

Yeah, didn't you and I and B4Ranch have this discussion last week? I guessed it was something like the general percentage of the population that votes Libertarian, like 3% or so.

Most people just can't believe there are individuals with the morals and hunger for power of a John Edwards who aren't such complete eff ups that they actually make it to the top (or are born there, more likely), and start running things behind the camera instead of in front of it.

Ok, so maybe I should correct this to say that the liberal voters are dumber than a hammer. Of course, this administration knows what its doing. It plans to take away our freedoms and dumb us down. It seems to be working in some areas of this country.

Liberalism is a mental illness!

Part of the Agenda 21 Plan is using light rail for transportation between the central cities.

I think 20% have heard of it and know that it is something for the future. 10% know what it is and 2-3% are up todate on the growth of it in our local communities. Probably they are the only ones alarmed by the fact that everyone else just shucks it off as though they have no reason to be concerned.

Big difference between awakened and alarmed. Most folks just roll over and go right back to sleep.

Yes it could be reasonably argued that Christians should boycott the system as long as it has the naked scans and gropes. The scan and grope droids are not doctors or nurses with deep backgrounds in the ethics of approaching the nude body of an unrelated person, especially if it happens by surprise. What’s more, it isn’t even clear if the scanning and groping would even find most bombs designed to evade it.

Soros sounded like a nutty conspiracy theory at first, but now it’s clear he’s buying worldwide political influence by the trainload while being careful never to let his image and name be pumped up as an obvious big shot. As long as there are Soroses (and others with similar missions) we are foolish to restrict our attention to the famous name big shots.
