Dems want to import more muslims so every event can be this protected....they are fitting right into Obama's changed America.

Dems wonder why Americans are getting furious.

If a person is truly devoted to destroying himself along with a few dozen others . . . is there anything that can be done?

Heavily armed won’t mean diddly when the nuke hidden aboard the freighter at the pier goes off.

After going through the metal detector and patdown to get into Madison Square Garden for the Globetrotters Sunday, I said “Thanks a lot, Islam”. Got a look from security for that.

LOL....I posted on an earlier thread about normal everyday Americans speaking out and up more than I have every heard in my lifetime this year. That was a perfect example of something that would not have said last year.

Unfortunately the same holds true when you go through security at airports, what used to be a breeze. But thanks to that cult by some referred to as a religion, it got to be a chore. But there is little doubt in my mind that this will not go on forever, as the day of reckoning will come, probably not in time for me to see due to my age. But rest assured it will come just as the end of communism.

By next election cycle, a new generation of leftist freaks will be telling us that only law enforcemement should be allowed to have “long guns”.

What are the odds those long guns look like my assault weapon?

Well, if they had a little less than the twelve to fourteen pound triggers on their weapons, I’d feel a little safer.

I keep waiting for a nuke stashed aboard a private jet to go off as it overflies Manhatten on the way to Newark Airport.

The Muslims go on a yearly rampage in Paris and vicinity and burn hundreds of automobiles.

It will be interesting to see how many Muslims are rampaging there this New Years.
The French stopped reporting on these Muslim rampages a few years ago

France has hundreds of no-go zones that the Muslims totally control without worrying about police interference. -Tom

I'm sure the cops have thought about the possibility of mortars, rocket launchers, and other standoff weapons.

It's not like it wouldn't be a piece of cake to smuggle anything like that across our borders and preposition it in the city. Hiding and transporting them in delivery trucks, dump trucks, garbage trucks or tractor trailers would be relatively simple. Hamas and Hezbollah have done it already.
