Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Good News for a Change on the Taser Debate
Monday, January 11th, 2010Finally a bit of good news on the horizon, which may slow the abuse of Tasers by law enforcement. The Ninth Circut Court has ruled that police officers can be held liable for harm caused by the inappropriate use of Tasers.
Honey, I Shutdown the Airport
Monday, January 11th, 2010Take a moment and read the article on Reuters concerning the shutdown of a California airport. I’ll give you the highlights here:
A thirty one year old gardener is inspected after the TSA bomb sniffing equipment gives an alarm over his bag. Found inside are five Gatorade bottles containing an amber colored liquid. The equipment finds positive for TNT and TATP. Two out of five of the TSA officers inspecting the containers, are overcome from what they called “chemical odors” when examining the material and are rushed to the hospital after becoming severely nauseous. The entire airport is shutdown for the rest of the day. County Sheriffs, the fire department and FBI agents, as well as members of a “joint terrorism task force” arrive on the scene and question the gardener for the remainder of the day. He is described as being “very cooperative” with their investigation.
Tests come back with the finding that the five bottles contain honey.
You read that right. Honey. You know, the food made by bees.
I realize that most of the TSA is manned by idiots so dim witted that they can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, but the level of bat-shit idiocy needed to convince yourself that you’re somehow overcome by the “chemical odor” emanating from a bottle of honey is so staggering, that you have to wonder if there are more than two or three neurons in their head altogether – and they’re devoted to panic!
Honey?
America wants these drooling morons operating full body scanners that may cause damage to your DNA? Even if they don’t cause harm when operated properly, do you trust these imbeciles to operate the machines correctly?
Seriously, folks – when are you going to say no to this intrusive, ineffective, mind-numbing nonsense? When are you going to finally have your fill of security theater?
How much of your liberty and common sense are you willing to sacrifice for a little perceived safety?
The Nobel Prize is Null and Void
Friday, October 9th, 2009If there was any doubt with Henry Kissinger’s Nobel Peace Prize award in 1973 (while he committed actions on Cambodia and Viet Nam that should warrant war crime charges) that the Nobel Committee had lost their clout; that doubt was solidified to solid understanding with the current announcement awarding President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize, for Obama’s efforts to "rid the world of nuclear weapons".
Let’s review the process here, shall we? Obama had to be nominated to the Nobel Committee by the end of January of this year in order to be considered. By that time, Obama had done nothing along these lines, he wasn’t even President yet! Sorry, got that wrong. He had been President of the USA for two weeks. As for his stint in congress, there isn’t a shade of nuclear weapons reduction in his actions.
To put it short, the President hasn’t done much more than wag his tongue at a few international speeches and all of that was after he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Let’s look at the President’s peace record outside of a handful of speeches geared toward nuclear disarmament: we are still at war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Troops levels are being raised in Afghanistan, while there is no sign of leaving Iraq anytime in the near future. By Obama’s decision, we’ve now entered militarily into Pakistan. There is still talk about invading Iran for "creating nuclear weapons" that no one can prove exists, or that Iran is even capable of creating.
Where is the peace in that?
The once lofty Nobel Peace Prize has been made into a mockery by the very committee designed to keep Nobel’s intentions valid and profound. Form has taken hold over function and a once important award has been reduced to a mockery of its former glory.
Ted Kennedy
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, died yesterday of brain cancer. His health was apparently on a downward turn for some years now.
In tribute to his legacy, I would like to list all of the accomplishments Senator Kennedy made in preserving liberty and Constitutional doctrine in the United States during his many years in government:

Tactless Sinister Assholes (TSA)
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009If you’ve done any reading on the bullying, abusive, malignant insanity foisted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), (also known as Tactless Sinister Assholes) upon hapless air passengers, then you probably have a very clear picture of just how useless this entire organization is. They represent, not real security, but a theater act. People are pulled out of line for no reason which makes any sense. Clearly stupid regulations are put into place as to what cannot be carried on a plane. Clearly stupid behavior is exhibited by the TSA slime who man the security lines. People’s right to privacy and security are being infringed by these government goons in strip searches and pat downs. Property which could not be used to down a plane or take it over, is confiscated. Last, but not least, policing power is being abused at levels which reminds one of the Gestapo of the Third Reich, where charges are pretty much invented against individuals who have done absolutely nothing wrong.
Most of the TSA morons are not qualified enough to push a broom, but give them a tin badge and they’ll take their minimal IQ and devote it to causing misery for air travelers. I long ago stopped flying, because I don’t like being treated like a criminal in my own country.
Don’t believe me? Pick your favorite Web search engine and search for "TSA sucks". Read the links and the comments on those pages which have them. The stories are profuse.
I’ve read quite a few accounts which makes my blood boil, but this one has to be one of the worst. The TSA insanity is plainly showing.
