Lets say I call the police and say I had uncovered plans to bomb my local high school. Would that not be considered a bomb threat?

Basically, the Iraqi Prime Minister is guilty of a bomb threat.

Russia told us about the Tsarnev brothers, we didn’t listen. Several people told us about bin Laden, we didn’t listen. ...pattern forming

Given that we’re in “October Surprise” territory, I trust the Iraqi prime minister on this one over the foreign enemy combatant in our White House by a factor of about 100.

I was just thinking that we should have a law doubling the penalty for treason if it’s done within 2 months before a US election.

We can’t survive these “October surprises”; that month alone puts the survival of the country at risk.

On 9/10/2001, the fedzilla had no indications of an impending attack, either.

At least no indications that they were capable of recognizing.

We had “no evidence” of a plot against the consulate in Benghazi, either. How did that turn out? Friggin Keystone cops.

Killed with bacon fat if you’re Muslim, maybe.

Or maybe we should just say it only takes half as much evidence to convict you...

Nor have they on any and every other day sine then. Except when they have - but it didn’t go public.

Bomb scares are not about real bombs. They are about scaring people. Imagine you saw or heard that story as you were waiting for a subway train.

We were also told of the panty bomber....by his own father.

Keep your gas tank full and have a family plan.

I’ve got it: For treason committed within 2 months before a US election, we allow “strange and unusual” punishment rather than straight hanging or lethal injection.

Well they did get the Hutaree Militia, but one of those finiky Constitutionalist judges let 'em go, wasting all their great work.

Judge acquits Hutaree militia members of conspiracy charges

Remember the not so distant past.......don’t believe them, this government has been compromised by Obama’s Islamic extremists, there is no other rational explanation.

A video caused the death of four Americans in Benghazi
We do not trade terrorists for hostages
AQ has been decimated, terrorists are on the run
Ft. Hood was an act of workplace violence
We were warned about the Tsarnaev brothers
The Muslim Brotherhood created the Arab Spring
