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....

Good time to post your ‘hand gun’ article.

This is all out harrassment and nothing less. The sole purpose is to dehumanize us, demoralize us etc. It is an absolute ‘rage’ against Americans.

‘The road to tyranny, is (was) paved with good intentions.

Thanks. Hope many read that. We are sliding toward the ultimate ending. I don't see any way around an eruption of violence. Unless the new Congress can slow this maniac down, I'm not sure 2012 is going to be a realistic goal.

Will the citizens choose to accept tyranny?

Spot on.

When the foreign occupier employed the phrase 'fundamentally transforming America' two
years ago, that's precisely what he meant. Zer0 has no intention of going quietly.

As unbelieveable as it is, some aren't even aware of what has happened so far or what is happening now. If a full fledge tyranny happens, it will catch those people off guard because they were not alert to the advance of it. At that point there will be no 'choice'.

For us, for the Tea Party, for true patriots...no. Tyranny will never be accepted willingly.

And then for some, yes they will accept it because they never understood the concept of Liberty to begin with. It will make no difference to them.

Watch the TSA situation, that will answer your question. I'm thoroughly disgusted with those that are lining up like sheep; offering their children up like a sacrifice. (might be too strong of a word...can't think of another) It is truly disgusting. Those people will go along.

It is a result of inconpetence combined with political correctness. The reaction of the administration is a combination of incompetence and indifference.

Last night they seized "Torrent-Finder.com.

FR Thread on subject.

Now why on earth would the Dept. of Homeland Security seize a domain?
Torrent-Finder was only a search engine that allowed people to search for torrents. It did not host a single file.

Why don't they go after a site, such as Scribd which does in fact host copyrighted material without regard for the copyright?

Could it be because left wing Hollywood was after their boy Obama to do so? This way, they can continue to charge extortionate fees for movies and the actors who support the Democrats can continue earning too much money and remain a part of the left-wing elite?

Do you sleep better at night knowing that the Department of Homeland Security is seizing domains to protect your from torrent search engines?

Visit Torrent-Finder.com ... if you dare, they might log your IP address... they are logging links and using Google Analytics... anyway, if you do, here is what you see:

As long as their are idiots out there who believe its for our safety, this marxist regime will continue to erode our freedoms. I’ve heard some of these idiots call in to talk radio and state that they want to be safe, so they’ll endure the inconvenience.

What stupid, stupid a** sheeple we have in America. They give up their freedoms for a maybe. The terrorists are laughing their a**es off at us, and they should.

This administration is dumber than a hammer.

This Administrion isnt stupid. They know exactly what they are doing. They know the sheeple will do nothing to protest.These are the same people that would willingly be loaded onto boxcars and shipped to a camp.
Americans have become fat,dumb and happy. As long as they have a reality show to watch and junk food to eat,they will be content.
