Re-read my previous post for 90% of the answer. Here is the rest. After TSA head #2 gets fired nobody in their right mind will accept that position. (now ex-head at next interview "Well, yes, I was fired after 4 weeks, but so what...") You have to go at these things with a 20 year plan, or more. Just as liberals slowly got us here we can't suddenly reverse it all. You have to do it small steps at a time. Otherwise you alarm the low level govies and they refuse to do it.
No possibility of being fired? He's the president, if he can't change that what can he do? Change that, fire these people! If half the Constitution and the Bill of Rights can be ignored and gutted during "wartime", then so can their stinking contracts!
Clean house! If the pres can't fire them, our government has all kinds of slimy ways to lean on citizens when they feel like it, IRS audits, paper violations that result in a 3am SWAT raid, etc... I'm not advocating any of those mind you, I'm just saying if they really wanted to implement this policy they could.
The reason they aren't implementing it is painfully obvious. The President (among others) doesn't want it implemented because he is hostile to gun rights. The public clammored for it, they went through the hollow motions to placate us, then did what they wanted anyway. How very, very Clintonesque! If that's the way the pres is going to be, then we as citizens need to do a little cleaning house of our own:
Voters to President: "You have until November 4 to effectively implement the armed pilots program, and stop blocking its effectiveness. Failure to do so to my satisfaction will result in your immediate removal from office."
It's interesting to observe that when it comes to screwing us over, the politicians find a way to do it a matter of minutes.
But when it comes to doing something positive, or actually recognizing our Rights, we're just supposed to shut the hell up and "wait 20 years".
I don't know what's more pathetic:
The fact that so-called conservatives are the ones screwing us over.
Or the way their defenders try to spin it.
