Sorry. I didn't realize you were assigned the job to speak for everyone here. Pretty important job.
Now, try to focus for a second. I know it's hard for you, but give it a shot.
Go back a post or two. I threw out a hypothetical for you to think through. Apparently you missed the post. Give it a whirl. Let's up the ante, though. Let's say it is 10 evil men in 10 theatres all coordinated to blow themselves up at the same time.
Come on. You can do it. I know you can. Answer the question: What would you think of the TSA and Homeland Security then?
If you can't break out of your "take it up the ass" mode long enough to think that through, then don't bother answering this post.
Here's another clue, Vanna:
If you have an enemy, you do not merely put up fences. You hunt the bastard down and you kill him before he kills you. That's war. That's defense. You obliterate the son of a bitch. You must be heartless about it.
But we can't do that in America, can we? It's unbecoming a country to truly defend itself. We'll hurt feelings and step on toes. While you are satisfied to accept the TSA and Homeland Security as the answer, I am not. They are decoration -- nothing more.
Do you recall the Iran hostage "crisis"? Do you recall the Iranians also kidnapped some Russians at the same time they took American hostages? Do you recall how long the Americans were held? Did you know the Russians were released almost immediately? Do you know why? Because the Russians nabbed a few clerics off the street and delivered them back to the fanatics dead with some of their anatomy rearranged. That's defense. That's war.
We do not have the stomach for it. No. That's not right. We are not permitted to have the stomach for it. Too many of your kind accept whatever swill the government hands you as "defense" and "war". You talk the big talk but you are really just a paper tiger. You run around spewing whatever the current "tough guy" group-think happens to be and believe you are on solid ground. You aren't.
We've been down this road before and it's gotten us nowhere. When the good men of our armed forces did what it took to win, there were a bunch of milk-in-the-gut cowards out there crying, "Oh, the horror!".
So, nighty-night, little camper. Sleep well knowing a plane won't be crashing into your house. Your government is watching out for you. Everything is under control. You're safe. Don't let it bother you a bit that maybe someone you know will get it in the mall or at a restaurant or movie theatre or maybe even your local church. You surely believe the government has got your back, afterall.
