    At the White House on Monday, Mr Gibbs said President Barack Obama’s highest priority was “to ensure that when you or I or others get on to an airplane, that we can feel reasonably sure that we can travel safely”.

    Can you believe his audacity? (Is that the audacity of hope?) Does President Obama really think that when he goes to the airport that somehow his security experience is like the one that the public must go through?

    Pirate, let’s restate…

    “This is what HAS happened,

    A terrorist event that the back-scatter machines COULD have prevented DID happen.

    (The crotch bomber)”

    I am starting to believe the crotch bombers handler was paid by Chertoff,

    Or, has any member of congress ever gone through the scanner?”

    I only pray to dog that Hillary Clinton hasn’t had full body imaging. TSA Grade A Eye Bleach needed.

    Don’t blame liberals for this, Obama is no liberal. The question has been raised, who is more conservative, Reagan or Obama? This liberal will not be voting for Obama the next time around.

    I blame liberals for this, its very clear they hate our freedoms.

    We live in a tyranny of the liberal minority…hopefully even more of the public will wake up, and we can really oust Democrats from both houses even more…another historic defeat, before we lose America forever.

    Its time all freedom loving people come to the aid of their country and vote these bastards out.

    Obama has continued many of Bush Jr’s policies and has enhanced some of them. Obama is Bush Jr. Why is there so much hate now for Bush Jr Jr?

    The newly elected republicans will not touch any of Bush Jr’s or Bush Jr Jr’s policies. They need a enemy so that they can sucker the conservative republican voters into voting republican. The tea party scam worked very well.

    Conservative republican means no intelligence. Conservatives do not even know what liberal means because they have told so many lies.

    To avoid the TSA, stop flying.

    Its the old good cop/bad cop routine to NUDGE us to the scanners:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cass_Sunstein

    Progressives KNOWS we are too stupid to see what they plan for us is brilliant, a must do…so they NUDGE.

    AND this is confirmed by the propaganda press, aka establishment press making this story #1 but not discussing the violation of the 4th Amendment, by a regime that clearly hates the right to privacy and so is dangerous.

    Also their back door shadow government covert activities…the latest being net neutrality…that threatens our freedoms.

    Our times are too dangerous to be mindless…its time to wake up.

    Vote Demoncrats out, they are a cult, not the pro American Democrats of former years…a gaggle of Soros sock puppets who hate our freedoms but love getting rich destroying them.

    Everybody here knows exactly what happens if the DOJ or HSA backs down on security procedures, or even hints they might….they’ll get ridiculed to no end. “Obama is soft on terrorism.” It’ll be in every 2012 political ad.

    I’m laughing at how many situations BushCo set up in this manner…where changing (fixing) or backing down on over-ambitious Bush’s reactionary 9/11 policy will be conflated mercilessly by the right-wing press.

    If you or somebody you know is flying tomorrow, they better get to the airport at least a couple hours early. TSA is not ready for a massive number of pat-downs.

    Blame the conservatives who vote in fear for wackos after being brainwashed by their GOP shepherds. Years later, they belly ache at the results you see.

    The liberals and centrists are always there to prevent and fight back…Let take a look….

    * Iraq war : Baby Bush avenges daddy Bush.. Nuff said. Protesters then accused of not “supporting our troops”. Today the conservative sheeple agree – a trillion dollars later.

    * Vietnam/Kent State protest. Sheeple called them hippies and communists. Now the same sheeple listen to woodstock music because it’s cool.

    * TSA : Cheney administration encroaches on civil liberties and creates TSA jobs program for government approved sexual assault. ACLU called “pro-Muslim”. Now the flying sheeple belly ache.

    * The GOP installed Supreme Court allows corporations unlimited money to buy government. Half the sheeple think this is a good idea. The other half have no fucking clue. In 5-8 years the sheeple will be bellyaching of corrupt government.

    * Bush gives away $800B in tax cuts – a spending because it’s unfunded. Half the sheeple like it because “tax cut” is in the sentence. The other half have no fucking clue of the math involved. The sheeple are just now figuring out thanks to Dvorak cartoon characters used to educate.

    I blame you and sheeple like you Dallas. Regurgitating the liberal talking points/blaming Bush is tiresome, inaccurate, unimaginative, mindless dribble designed to disguise the real problem. You solve nothing, much like the politicians you claim to support.

    Both parties are up your ass Dallas, both will continue to screw you, and everyone else, in the ass as long as you, and everyone else, remain a one-sided idiot that can’t think for him/herself, take action and VOTE THEM ALL OUT.

    Term limits are where transparent government will come from. One term (change the House term to 4 years). The government should not be a jobs program or life-long career choice. Career politicians must be eliminated.

    More than one term in public service leads to less public service and more corruption.

    #32-35 & uncle Dave

    A brain is a terrible thing to waste.

    Why grope children and grandma, if not to NUDGE the public to accept the loss of your 4th Amendment…

    The TSA has not caught one terrorist.

    It won’t stop chemcial explosives.

    We had terrorists attacking us for decades, why the over-reaction now?

    Why the panic?

    Why not adopt common sense security we know works well for the Israeli’s?

    Because that doesn’t fit the progressive agenda to scare us into accepting the loss of our freedoms.

    Vote the statist cult out, vote out all progressives, whether Democrat or Republican…

    Before its too late.

    Uncle Dave and sock puppets will rejoice Big Government runs their life, but many of you who are giving up your freedom, will not.

    How to get TRUE security? Tele-presence!

    No more putting up with being groped by underpaid, low-expectation, semi-literate, GED-carrying troglodytes.

    We need a much faster INTERNET and in return for this, our contribution to national security, it should be as widely and as inexpensively available as electricity.

    No more dicking around with telcos which try to rip a hundred bucks a month out of your pocket.

    Control ComCast and Cox and Time-Warner he same way that we control the power grid. And no censorship either.

    True net neutrality just like the phone system has. (“We serve everybody, from presidents and kings to the scum of the earth.” – Ernestine [AKA Lily Tomlyn])

    If they can do it in Finland, we can do it here: The internet as a basic human right.

    Alfred, you assume progressives want this touching. I don’t think they do. And with that the rest of your partisan rant floats away like a fart in the wind.

    Neither party wants to be seen as soft on terror, and the current admin sure as hell doesn’t want to be asleep at the wheel like the last guy. Therefore, TSA is stuck with implementing a policy that prevents the pols from being embarrassed.

    You realize that Beck is just one small step away from playing with his poop, right?

    Again I have to remind people that there’s a lot of land between the coasts. The average American doesn’t care. They just want on the plane, and considers anyone that gets in their way of that a liberal asshole. There’s no unity in this country. If everyone would agree not to fly for a single day, the airlines would bulldoze the TSA out the airport. It’s all about me and getting to Moms house for in time for dinner, damn anything else.
