Although no specific plot has been identified, revelers this Fourth of July can expect extraordinary security -- from expanded patrols and SWAT units to biological weapon response teams and undercover officers mingling with celebratory crowds. "It's absolutely not a joke," said New York police Sgt. Thomas Horvath, who took ABC News on patrol around New York City's waterways. "The threat is very real. On the day of the [July 4] event, we're going to put out basically every asset we have."...

If you see something, say something!!!
Have a happy and safe 4th.
Anybody notice that there is always a threat but nobody can give you any idea of what it might be? Its probably a bunch of low level domestic terrorists flying the Gadsden Flag, drinking beer on the deck and plinking cans with the Gamo Varmint Gitter. Oh jeez thats us!!
I have no doubt that our LEOs have been prepared for this exact threat, at great taxpayer expense.
The children? What about THE CHILDRENNNNN????????

....A new Harvard University study finds that July 4th parades energize only Republicans, turn kids into Republicans, and help to boost the GOP turnout of adults on Election Day.....
Maybe this is what they are afraid of :-)
Amish Flash Mobs?
I would much rather have a truly celebratory 4th marked by focused action and total decisive victory in our theatres of war.
Fear is the only language murderous scum understand. They view humanitarian aid as an opportunity to steal and gestures of peace as an opportunity to attack.
Let future patriotic celebrations be enhanced by the world fearing us once again and keeping their animals caged.
I’m just going to hold my breath all day .
The pig-blowing Gadahn gave his fellow pig-@(O*&$_# associates ideas on who to target.. after Michael Moore trained him.
Yes, Amish flash mobs. LOL
We have the threat of religious fanatics who want to kill us and we also have to deal with inner city thugs who want to kill us.
This thread sure shows the polarity between DU and FR when it comes to this stuff. When Bush was around you’d get banned for mocking this kind of stuff.
Now, it’s all a joke. Just like DU said when Bush was prez.
I don’t think it was funny then or now. The jihadi threat is as real as ever.
I agree 100%. Stay vigilant.
It has never been a matter of “if”, only
a matter of “when”.
We know it’s coming, be prepared, be aware.
I just threw up in my mouth...thanks.
It’s real, but not as big a threat as we were led to believe.
Well, the SWAT teams will be getting double-time to goof off in their black ninja outfits.
Gotta keep the bureaucrats employed, right?
Jeez! I scrolled down and nearly crapped myself!
What’s the matter, couldn’t you find a bigger image?
No you too. And I thought I had the only family that flew the Gadsden Flag, drank beer, plinked from the deck, and grilled over the 4th.
