SAFE AT ANY PRICE
CONGRATULATIONS, AMERICA - YOU LOST!

By: Mel Young

Black Tuesday was bad enough. America allowed the bad guys to enter our country and attack us with a savage fanaticism, bringing more death and destruction to our own shores than America has seen since the war between the states. They did it with three hijacked airliners on domestic flights. Three airliners with passengers outnumbering the bad guys by ten to one or more and yet, they didn’t have the guts or common sense to fight for their own safety and lives and take out the terrorist. Allowing a handful of terrorist bastards to control and kill you is NOT heroic. It’s stupidity and cowardice.

Fortunately, there were a few, true heroes aboard the fourth hijacked plane; the one which crashed in Pennsylvania. Those men were true Citizen’s Militia men in the sense that they had the guts and the common sense to recognize that they were going to die anyway if they didn’t take back the plane, so they went for it. Who knows how many people on the ground were saved by their actions? Fighting for what is right is heroic, even if you don’t always win.

This does not discount the heroic efforts of New York’s Finest and Bravest, so many of whom gave their lives trying to help and save others. Fire fighters and policemen have always been up on the line for us. It’s a sad commentary that it takes a major disaster like this one to wake people up to the fact that those guys are laying their lives on the line, daily, for the rest of us. (This is not intended to compliment the bad cops; the rogue cops, those who work to impose a police state upon us.)

What is truly sickening is the massive wimp-out; the bleating of the sheeple afterwards, that they wanted to be "safe" at any price. Give up some more Constitutional Rights for safety...why sure. Stand in line for three hours at your local airport to be processed to board a plane for a two hour flight? ....noooo problem! "Pathetic" doesn’t even begin to describe just how low these people are crawling to protect their sorry asses at any cost.

I saw one of the whining, quivering masses on a local TV station the other day, waiting to fly out of LAX. She said she didn’t care how long it took or what personal freedoms she had to give up.....all she wanted was to be safe.

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Ben Franklin - 1759

Consider that literally thousands of domestic flights crisscross the skies of America every day. Four flights, no matter how heavily covered by the media, are a mere drop in the bucket. Many millions of humans; some people, mostly sheeple, ride those flights. Their risk of being hijacked is far less than that of choking to death at the dinner table, being struck by lightening and, most certainly, being killed while driving or taking a cab or bus to the airport. But....they feel scared......boo-hoo!

Regardless of truth and facts, the sheeple panicked. Their sudden fear of flying has brought our airline industry to bankruptcy in just a week or so. We are seeing massive layoffs of Americans totaling a hundred thousand or more, just from this totally chickencrap, wimping, whining failure of Americans to get some backbone, stand up on their hind legs instead of crawling and shout to the world: "SCREW YOU! No way in hell am I going to hide or not fly to give the bastards that did this to us a victory!"

If anything, Americans should have rang the ticket reservation phones off the hooks, reserving seats and taking that flight they have been putting off; driving the massive airline industry right back up on top where it fuels ten percent of our economy. Most certainly, the fallout from airline bankruptcies and tremendous down-sizing of their daily operations can do nothing but cause drastic harm to America; self-inflicted harm, thanks to the gutless masses.

Anyone ever consider that we should be taking away the rights of those who threaten and attack us, not giving up OUR OWN RIGHTS???

An Internet friend made a great suggestion the other day. When any Sunni Islamic fanatic kills himself or we hunt him down and kill him, we make damned sure to bury what is left with a nice pig head. Supposedly, this will prevent their spirit from living in the afterlife. Even if we only find a little DNA, bury it with some pork!!

Meanwhile, America must find a way to get back the guts that it has lost or allowed to be taken from it over the last several decades. You can wave flags and sing patriotic songs till the cows come home but deeds speak much louder than songs or flag waving. Sadly, the message, loud and clear from the trembling masses, is that Americans have been cowed into submission by a team of less than twenty, rag-head, religious fanatics who want to destroy our way of life and that of millions of people in other parts of the world so that they may impose a venomous, brutal, religious police state on so many millions who do not wish it.

Instead of "I’m not going to take this crap!", America has yelled, loud and clear, "I’m not going to even think of taking a risk by flying. Those nasty terrorist might still be around." It’s barf-arama time!

Great job, America, helping the enemy! Bin Laden and his band of killers must be laughing and drooling down their beards at the soft, pathetic, whining excuse for what was once, one of the toughest countries on earth. Sadly, Americans have been fed a line of pure bullshit for so long that they don’t even know it.

- You can’t ever say or do anything that might hurt someone else’s tender feelings.

- You don’t dare tell the truth if it might be sensitive to certain races or genders.

- You never, never use violence to solve problems. You must be peaceful and loving at all times, no matter how much others crap on you.

- You must give up your Constitutional Right to Keep and Bear Arms because guns are evil things that get up, load themselves and go out and shoot people at will. One must never even touch a gun, and certainly, never own or learn how to shoot a gun.

- No matter the occasion, one must always have respect and consideration for others. This includes those traitors and terrorist who attack us and attempt to destroy our way of life. They must not be attacked by our military but must be "apprehended" and given their day in court.

- Treason is no longer a dirty word. It’s fashionable! If it feels good, do it!

- No right, no idea, no person, or piece of property is worth fighting for.

GOD HELP AMERICA! They sure won’t help themselves at this rate.

Next time I fly, I'm going to be carrying a slab of sliced bacon in a large zip lock bag and five or six baseballs. Any hijacker on any flight I'm on is going to get pelted with both, before I (and hopefully my fellow passengers) get the drop on him.

Here's the advice I'm going to follow on any flight I take from now on
