Quote of the Day by Avoiding_Sulla

[Travis McGee]

Top federal executives from the president on down enjoy using underlings who are "Peter Principled" yes men with lots of skeletons in their closets. They can be depended on to follow orders blindly, no matter how absurd or dangerous.

A 9-11 may happen because of the proliferation of these numbskulls in key positions, (see the Minnesota memo, I refer to the unnamed FBI HQ Supervisory Special Agent who repeatedly spiked the computer search warrant), but the more important factor to their bosses is their bulldog loyalty and zeal to follow orders, even to march off of a cliff. (Or order others to march off a cliff.)

This "leadership" trait of placing blindly loyal idiots in key firewall positions is a central part of my novel.

[Stallone]

Bush has lost it big-time on arming pilots.

There is simply no justification or rationale behind the decision.

In the event of hijackings, this policy prevents pilots, who already have a life and death power over the passengers, from having the tools to save the plane, the passengers, people on the ground, the buildings and symbols of America, the U.S. economy, our peace of mind, etc.

This will not stand.

This man must be removed from his post. Let us make this the Free Republic cause of this week.

[etcetera]

Write Congress and the Whitehouse to complain about Mineta and Magaw. Demand that they be removed.

As a result of that alert, no ATF field agents in the Murrah Building were killed or injured – even though they were the apparent target of the bombing. No one else in the building got any warning, so 168 men, women and children were killed. But no ATF agent got a scratch. Magaw did a great job of protecting his own that day, but he didn't do much to protect innocent civilians.

What a slug! Since the first time I heard on the news about the OKC bombing something smelled real bad about it. I'm convinced the Feds knew when and where the bombing was going to happen. The only thing is I can't figure out why they didn't stop it.

We pay the price of Bushs failure to clean house.

I've never been able to understand how so many people who had complete mistrust of our government a few years ago suddenly felt everything would be OK just because the president had an R behind his name now. Silly.

Magaw decided it was against the law for home-schooling families to own guns and equally illegal for gun-owners to home-school.

This statement should tell us all we need to know about this despicable little tyrant.

The big question really is, why is he in the position he now occupies instead of fishing in his bass boat in Arkansas on a fat pension?
