Imagine if, like our Founders, they lived and traveled like the rest of us? No private planes, cars, security, healthcare, bonuses, paid global travel-vacations and they could only shop at WalMart and Sears.

It would change a LOT of things in this country.

Maybe they would start to even get some common sense if they had to live like ‘commoners’.

That’s why they can’t see what’s coming. They can’t even sense what we, the American people sense is about to happen. We all feel the danger right now and I, quite frankly, do not feel safe traveling or in a crowded public place of ANY kind. And what are they spending day and night on-in secret??-our healthcare. And what good is that if we are not safe and are being slowly infiltrated?

I think the enemy are sitting back and laughing at us- using a machine to look thru people’s clothes and frisk a nun in a wheel chair.
They are attacking us on MANY different fronts at the same time; not only are they trying to kill us openly on airplanes, but they have moved into our country, our schools, our govt. They work for our airlines,they are in our military. They are doctors and lawyers and business owners. The list goes on and on. They have successfully managed to blend in thanx to our PC-culture.

They have infected our country and right now, we have a compromised immune system thanx to Obama-a muslim.

We, the people can see it and feel it because we don’t live behind the New Iron Curtain. And the survivors will be the ones who don’t look to the DC-govt for what to do next.

Americans are on their own and I think that that is stressing people out more than anything; we at FR are the lucky ones-we know NOT to count on them for anything, but the rest of Americans are like sheep without a shepherd. All they know is that we are in trouble, so while we evil conservatives cling to our guns and God, they just hang onto the remote control and the latest issue of People Magazine.

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?

These are simply isolated incidents of extremism by people who have hijacked a religion. .... YEAH RIGHT....

Common sense will tell you that these terrorists are always testing the waters. They did it under Clinton , Bush and even now when the whole world loves our Dear Reader. As much as the success or failure of an attempt, is our reaction and response.

When Bush was in he took a measured tone and acted deliberately, in short he treated it as an act of war. Under 0Dumbo we get mixed messages, followed by indecision until the public and even the MSM starts asking "what the h#ll is going on here?". Then we get backpedaling, lots of false bluster couched in PC terms and in general a keystone cops act. Now maybe behind the scenes things are proceeding smoothly. I'd like to think so, but perception is everything in this game. The terrorists watch our media and see the public reaction and so even though the attack itself failed, they see Zippy's administration thrown for a loop and so they declare victory on their websites, thus encouraging more attempts.

He (and all other flight disruptors, no matter the nationality) should get an automatic 10 years in prison and made to pay restitution for the scrambled jet costs.

Just sayin’

A serious question for ALL.

Just what do you all think will be the result, if, say there is a serious attack somewhere soon—that kills or/and injures thousands?? Be it a plane, bus, by a rig or somewhere in a public gathering??

Would Zero and his merry brigade finally realize “man, we have GOT to get tough on these Muslims—and stop this kind of stuff—tell CAIR to go to hell- turn some terrorist spots to charred embers, and crack down here—do true profiling for trouble—and even—dare I say it—some “friendly persuasion” techniques— ALA “Jack Bauer” on any terrorists caught??

Or...would they ramble on about “oh...this was an attempt to make Obama look bad by Bush, Palin, Cheney and the CIA”—like they did yesterday— and instead target ALL OF US— and restrict OUR freedoms??

I doubt if this administration is capable of accepting personal responsibility, the buck will be passed in their own minds.

Profile mooslims. If they are allowed to do the dirty deed on the USA, there will probably soon be none left to profile.

>>> "Another article which can't be posted said he grabbed a flight attendant's arm, then took off his socks and shoes and threw them." <<<< This was one other tidbit about the Abu Tahir incident that I wanted to make sure you were aware of.... i.e., the first descriptions make it sound like he was drunk and stumbled into the plane's bathroom and locked the door, but no, there was an altercation.

Great the Muslim on my right is an unruly drunk and the Muslim on my left is trying to light his briefs on fire. Is there a no Muslim airline?

>>>> "There was a tweet that said that he emerged from the bathroom without his socks and shoes - and holding a razor. If he'd already thrown his socks and shoes at the flight attendant, that would explain that part of it. But where'd he get the razor? <<<<<

FYI

I can tell you exactly WWEAD - they would have shot him dead and then given every other passenger an intense in-flight security interview, disassembled this guy’s seat, the bathroom he was in and the trash receptacle he used to throw his paper water cup away with, alert every El Al aircraft in the air and on the ground, any flights not departed would be reviewed again for any irregularities, started teams rolling to interview every one of this guy’s relatives, etc, etc.

Which will not be done in the United States which is why Americans are going to have to unecessarily die in our skies at the hands of these terrorists and the incompetent bureaucratic officials right up to the President who coddle them and treat them with velvet gloves.

“What would El-Al do? “

Open the door and toss him out?

No wonder that statistics show that aliyah to Israel is soaring way beyond expectations, it’s probably the safest place on earth right now.
