Obama's police state

Obama's police state

By Jeffrey T. Kuhner

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.

It’s just getting started. Plenty of people whined about the Nazi party but that didn’t stop it. Plenty whined about the Soviets but that didn’t stop it. Intellectuals whined about Mao but that didn’t stop it. etc

Only war can stop the Democrats and that will never happen. All we can hope for is an early death.

"The growing backlash against the new Transportation Security Administration"

Since when are growing and waning synonyms?

Dude, this is a pathetic attitude to take. It really is sad when the women in our movement (I assume you are a male?) have more onions than the men. I swear, Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, and Michelle Bachman have got more enthusiasm and courage than the men in the conservative movement!

Sorry to be brash, but we have no time for this crap! (Watch this if you can spare 3 minutes):

Look, I understand your frustration and discouragement, but we cannot give up yet! This is exactly what they want...to see us beaten even before we’ve fought! This is just beginning! He’s doing this against the will of the people! Have you already forgotten the elections? People are keeping score...this is not even near being finsihed!

I’m ready to fight and die but it seems like everyone else is ready to be soft and “turn the other cheek” or other nonsense. Quite frankly I’m not interested in living as a slave.

People are so afraid of being labeled “extremists” by the Marxist elite and their pathetic followers. What are people so afraid of? Losing their daily comforts? Your children will be happy and living in a bubble up until the minute they are shipped off to starve in a labor camp. It won’t happen over night but it WILL happen. We will lose everything. Is that what people want?!

When the TSA gets really really good at inspecting our bodies the terrorists will use IEDs and other external sources of explosions.

Could IEDs could be overlooked if they were hidden in wheel wells of planes?

I admit to some serious trepidation on Thanksgiving morning when I went through security at Palm Beach Int’l. Misplaced trepidation. I spent 20 minutes in line, from shoes off to shoes on. Because I have a pacemaker installed, I can’t go through the scanner and had to have a patdown, a bit more intrusive than previous patdowns, but the TSA guy kept up a running patter and was cracking wise. It was a non-event.

Are we talking about TWA 800 again...?

.
And none of these people mentioned above had access to a bunch of overpaid congress critters. But we do, and we get the same results.

What does it tell us?

But here’s why I haven’t given up hope:

1) The formation of the Tea Parties. These weren’t only formed to combat the taxing and spending that our government is engaged in, but also to fight the corruption and RINOs in our own party. Our country has never seen anything like this...ever! Now, you might be saying: “Yeah, well a Tea Party won’t be able to stop what’s going on!” Remember this; the Tea Party was the first installment of our outrage in a civil, respectful fashion. However, the outrage at what this administration is doing continues to grow. Next time it won’t be a Tea Party.

2) Consider how Obama and the Dems have had to pass their agenda (i.e. ramming through health care, not voting on tax cuts until the lame duck session, the DHS seizing domains on a holiday weekend. etc.) My point is, the people are NOT consenting to this! They aren’t just lying down. Something is going to happen...it always does! I believe most people are engaged and care deeply at what’s happening right now! Doubt me? Check out the comments on this DHS/ICE story on Drudge (The Hill): http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/technology/130763-homeland-security-dept-seizes-domain-names- Oh, and we’re revolting against this TSA groping outrage as well!

3) The mid-term elections! Not only did we take back the US House, but we also gained seats in the Senate...this was huge! Just as important if not more, was that most state legislatures went back to GOP (conservative) control! Even my home state of Michigan picked up Conservative US and State House members and a GOP governor!

Liberalism and its thug tactics are on full display for the entire world to see...they cannot hide who they are anymore. The left is still in panic mode over the midterms. This is why they’re trying like mad to implement these Executive decisions so fast. They will not stand!

This purposeful antagonizing and active aggression by Obama against the American people will destroy his chance (Authority) of trying to implement martial law. People are seeing day by day that their resistance against these unconstitutional thug tactics is completely justified (Again the TSA Revolt).

Everyday more people are coming to understanding that Obama is the enemy of the United States and nothing but a lip bleeding punk Bit*h! This is just beginning!

What this tells me is that obammy will be thrilled if he is able to drive the airlines into bankruptcy, too. People are going to get tired of this and stop flying except in cases of extreme emergency. He will have achieved another goal.........

I don’t think you got my point.

Even with our access to Congressmen, (people living under naziism and communism had no access to representation, but we do) we still have a repressive executive branch.

Where are the checks and balances that should have been in place in accordance with our Constitution? There are few because we have many weak congressmen whose main interest is in their careers and not the welfare of their constituents.

Yes I did get your point. I thought I was adding a bit more to it.

LOL! Merely talking about the story which anyone can read at the link I posted above.

Here's a different link

N.C. teen may have fallen to death from plane's wheel well in Mass.

If Delvonte Tisdale did fall from a wheel well, then airport security did a poor job.
