Drudge Report ^

SIREN ON DRUDGE. NOTHING FOLLOWS YET!

[Arizona]

"shource"? Is it toddy time? :^)

[CommiesOut]

My nerves are gonna be shot by the time all this is over with. I think I'll go get my hair done and pretend I'm a sheeple.

LOL! Welcome to the club. I see you understand now my feeling of riding huge 'Titanic' or 'National Jumbo Jet' hoping that the Pilots know what they are doing.

>I just want to stick up for Drudge. His greatest claim to fame isn't his speed on posting; it's a few "insider" facts that the regular media simply would have ignored. He didn't.

I agree, he's broken stories that nobody would touch *AND* forced the other news outlets to then carry those stories.

I have a problem when he starts throwing stuff out there and feeding into the media frenzy on certain topics (this being a prime example).

I love Drudge though, he's a character and he tries to do the right thing.

[CheneyChick]

4. His latest idea is that he is Will Robinson (of "Lost in Space"), and that the Jupiter 2 was real (which is why you were summoned, CheneyChick).

LOL! Do you think of me as "Lost in Space"? Danger, Danger, Will Robinson! I loved that show.... It was all true, you know. Yes, yes, it was.

Hey, folks, just wanted you to know I was listening to COPE (a radio station in Spain with an Internet feed) and they just mentioned this incident. They were impressed by the fact that the passengers got up and rushed the guy. Everybody in the Western world is worried about this, and I think our actions are giving a lot of reinforcement and courage to other people who are more than a little nervous right now.

"My Constitution arms US all!"

Time for America to do away with ALL laws that violate the 2nd amendment.

Text of the Second Amendment
"A well regulated Militia
being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
Anyone who actually reads AND understands the 2nd Amendment
will see that there is no constitutional authority for any type of gun registration
and *there is no need for anyone to have to apply for a license to carry a gun.
*NOTE Vermont is the only state that understands this!
Any political party, politician, judge (etc), organization or individual who trys to convince you that:
1) you must register a firearm
2) you must pass a background check
3) you must wait (x) amount of days before you can get your firearm
4) you need to have a license to carry a gun
is either uneducated about OUR rights as citizens
OR is actively working to undermine OUR country.

How Did the Founders Understand the Second Amendment?

How the Brady Bill Passed (and subsequently - "Instant Check")
When the Brady Bill was passed into law on November 24, 1993,
the Senate voted on the Conference Report
and passed the Brady Bill by UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

NOT ONE SENATOR FROM EITHER PARTY VOTED AGAINST THIS
AND THE NRA HELPED DRAFT THE BRADY BILL.

>He told the producer who mentioned this on the radio just minutes ago, that the teen has mental/emotional problems, and wanted to go to the bathroom, but went to the cockpit instead. The teen did not appear angry, or upset.

You've got to be kidding me

If Drudge freaked everybody out over that...I love his site, but....that's too much.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the heads up here!

We have a friend who is a senior flight attendant with a major airline. A week ago Sunday we asked her what was happening, and what were they doing.

She said the first thing before each flight is a real serious discussion among the flight crew to ferret out a pacifist on that crew. They will not fly with someone who will not fight and if necessary kill a hijacker!

Next if the PCers/ACLUers forces them to put someone on the plane that the crew feels represents a threat, the crew will radio the tower or airport security to get these people off of the plane (yep racial profiling by the crews who don't want to be the next mass murder victims). This has been done, and our PC media ain't telling us about these incidents!

Last but not least, they are making sure that in the first 5 to 6 rows on the aisle seats are guys that weigh in at 180 to 200 lbs. Guys who look like they would be to take care of them selves in an incidence like this one. Anyone who resists being moved to from one of these aisle seats gets a strong message to move their clymer to a window seat or back.

When you hear that 10 passengers took care of this mentally deranged lunatic, the flight attendant's stategy of strong non pacifists in the aisle seats for the first 5 to 6 rows sound like a logical move!

She, also, said that it would be weeks before the doors are changed and the cabins are bullet proofed! That may change after this incident.

Apparently there are just about enough pilots in their union, if not authorized to carry a gun on board, they may go on strike and shut down all airlines until they have permission to cwc!

Thanks again for the quick heads up!

[The Kitten]

Why do they let these scumbags on the airplane. No deranged loser should be allowed a plane except in the baggage compartment and wearing a straitjacket. I don't care if he didn't know what he was doing - he could have killed everyone on that airplane. I sure hope the passengers dished him a good beating 'for his own good' seeing that he is going to get off scot-free again and surely ride the next plane.

[Grampa Dave]

You posted, "In the future, passengers sitting in aisle seats in the first three rows should be asked if they are physically able and willing to defend the cockpit!"

See my reply #49. Some of the flight crews agree with you, but want rough and ready guys 5 to 6 rows back from the cockpit!

[alnick]

That's exactly the idea that I got from the article, a mentally retarded young man who in the past has been allowed to take a tour of the cockpit. Harmless, but how are the other passengers to know that. If that is the case, I'm sure his parents won't be taking him on planes in the future.

[He Rides A White Horse]

I think I'll go get my hair done and pretend I'm a sheeple.

Sometimes it seems not really knowing what is going on would be a blessing.

The curse of Free Republic............

"I think I'll go get my hair done and pretend I'm a sheeple. "

Heh heh. I'm with you. I hear those Sony PLaystation thingies are lot's of fun... and I hear they got this thing... outside the house, real bright, yellow, up in the sky, supposed to be real warm and pleasant... maybe I'll check it out soon... yeah... that's it...

[StealthChild]

Yeah, where did we go wrong? Fresh, clear-eyed, and smiling everyday...driving to the tennis club in the Carerra everyday...a quick sauna and half hour refresher snooze around the pool...then it's off to meet Lauren for a chat at the closest Starbucks.

You know what the secret is? You just PAY, (or so you think) others to take care of that "nasty little business" of running your country. They think that the life that they enjoy can be purchased with their tax dollars going off to Washington every April, and nothing more. Explains why our country is in the disarray it's in today: too many have had it too good and too easy..."Fiddling while Rome is burning." [End of Rant]

[texlok]

Amazing how quickly that disappeared from the top and has been replaced by the siren.

Those people in Belize are going to need a helluva lot of help..140mph winds...and we will be good little citizens of Planet Earth and help them out (I don't mean that sarcastically, we are one of the few countries around that actually cares about others in the world and that's one of the reasons we are such a big target).

For the same reason these deranged scumbags are loose on our streets, in our stores, in our parks and sometimes sizing up our homes!

The beloved ACLU and other Left Wing Extremists have made these deranged scumbags, protected Icons, either as the unbathed so called homeless or as in this case, a good guy if he is on his meds! Many have the wonderful title of "Client used by the mental health industry, social workers industry and of course the lawyer industry!

Oh, I hope your information is accurate. I'd love to be able to sit closer to the front next time I am on a plane. [6', 215#, self-defense instructor] I just can't make myself push everyone else out of the way when the seat-scramble starts, so I usually end up aft of the wings.

When I say "you," I don't mean you personally. I'm agreeing with you!!...I sometimes long to be one of the Tennis Club Crowd myself. <:-)

Unless you are wearing a turban, a dashiki, an OBL button and speaking Farsi, you would probably go to one of the seats. This friend said that their agents at the loading gates are sizing up the good lads to be seated in the aisle seats.

I'll let you sit on the aisle seat, and I'll be next to you. After you break them up, I'll sit on them and torque a few broken limbs!

Also, just ask for an aisle seat towards the front. I have a feeling that the good big guys like you who fly on a regular basis will get the good profile to get aisle seats as time goes on!

I would like people like you after a good police check get half off on all flights. If there is a first class section, fill it with guys like you first!
