Dem talking point, No guns for those on No Fly List, what is up w that?
The entire no fly list is a travesty of justice!
Not that there’s anything wrong with preventing someone with ties to terrorism from flying commercially, but the government has an terribly screwed-up system for it.
First of all, the names on it are not published by law, so the only way you’ll even know you’re on it is to try to fly—and get refused at the airport by TSA.
Then, and probably one the worst things about it, if your name is on it, even if it is just a mistake, there is no way to get your name off. You can’t sue, ask for an appeal, nothing. Stuck on it for ever.
Also, they have names on it that may not apply to a particular person, but EVERY ONE who has that same name! Google your own name. you’ll probably see, even if you think you have fairly rare name, that there are others in the world who share you name, even middle name or initial and any different spelling. SO, if that name is on the list, you don’t fly either. Period. forever.
Obama said in 2008 that the whole thing was unjust; just another wrong committed by Bush, and he promised to fix it.
Has he? No.
Now he—and the democrats—are using it to get backdoor gun control or to hit “law and order” Republicans over the head politically.
Does our wonderful media even bring up his previous condemnation of the no fly list?
Bwahahahaha!!!!
Bet ya that Beyotch mentions it tonight in his monologue!
Yeah, anyone here now on the No Fly List should be immediately considered to be flown out of this country.
Sure the Dem talking point is to distract what they are doing-like everything to tie up conservatives like the IRS denying TEA Party appropriate status and the tea-bagger insulting Allinsky tactics.
