When The Inmates Run The Asylum

In January, I published a couple of sequential articles entitled, Why Airline Safety Can't Be Insured (Jan-4) and Morons Of America Please Stand Up (Jan-5). Shortly thereafter, a very dear friend took me to task about my comments against the futility and invasion of modesty that full body screening will bring to air travel, not to mention further loss of revenue to an already deeply troubled airline industry as travelers eschew this mode of travel for yet another reason. The position that I advocated in these two previous articles, has not changed. For reasons that cannot be ignored by a rational person, the only way to improve security at the airport is to very specifically profile, and to disallow commercial flight to those who would deny our citizenry the freedom to fly in peace. We must not continue to allow ourselves to be subjected to ever increasing, and futile attempts to screen out weapons of mass destruction that have only been carried onboard by individuals of a certain profile.

I will not spend a great amount of time making the obvious case but before Middle Eastern Muslim men between the ages of 20 and 40 began high jacking airplanes and killing the passengers, or committing suicide by blowing up entire planes; Before Middle Eastern Muslim men between the ages of 20 and 40 began flying airplanes into prominent buildings, or attempting to destruct the Pentagon and the White House by crashing pirated airplanes into them; Before Middle Eastern Muslim men between the ages of 20 and 40 began attempting to ignite explosives stashed in their shoes or in the cavities covered by their underwear; Yes, before all that there was deemed to be no need to even screen passengers. Back then, people considered air travel a social occasion which allowed whole families to gather at the gate without passing through any screening device, and have a drink or dinner or just visit together with the arriving or departing traveler(s), or to arrange for a happy greeting to an arriving friend or loved one.

Please feel free to go back and read my two referenced articles but in synopsis I stated therein that neither metal detectors nor full body screening nor strip searches nor X-Ray nor MRI, nor any other technique currently known to mankind would insure a high probability of safety in air travel. No!! Only rational profiling will accomplish that.

I am writing this article today to further illustrate what I stated in my blog last month. The following is an excerpt of what was printed this morning on WorldNetDaily:

"Women suicide bombers recruited by al-Qaida are known to have had the explosives inserted in their breasts under techniques similar to breast enhancing surgery. The lethal explosives – usually PETN (pentaerythritol Tetrabitrate) – are inserted during the operation inside the plastic shapes. The breast is then sewn up. Similar surgery has been performed on male suicide bombers. In their cases, the explosives are inserted in the appendix area or in a buttock."

"Properly inserted the implant would be virtually impossible to detect by the usual airport scanning machines. Given that the explosive would be inserted in a sealed plastic sachet, and would be a small amount, would make it all the more impossible to spot it with the usual body scanner."

"Explosive experts at Britain's Porton Down biological and chemical warfare research center told MI5 that a sachet containing as little as five ounces of PETN when activated would blow "a considerable hole" in an airline's #skin which would guarantee it would crash."

But, in order to be politically correct, our leaders in their dubious wisdom have determined that all travelers will continue to be subjected to futile metal scans, requirements to remove their shoes, jewelry, belts and coats, to empty all their pockets and throw away their toothpaste, bottled water, coffee, shampoo, hair spray, deodorant, etc. Furthermore, because a Muslim terrorist caught himself on fire during a failed terror attack in flight on Christmas Day, and was found to have explosive material carefully stored inside his underwear (which would not have been caught by anything except a body cavity search anyway), we are all soon to be subjected to extremely invasive full body scans that will certainly turn many travelers away from the airport. Meanwhile, those who have the potential and desire to harm us may walk blithely onboard with their C4 or PETN safely stored in a body orifice or organ, to be activated during what should have been (and used to be) a pleasant and statistically safe mode of travel.



The same governmental leaders wish to disarm all of the law abiding citizens of America under the guise of protecting (us?) from law breakers?

They are spending billions of dollars, and have created a billion dollar industry in it's own right, to protect the world from global warming, which has itself been proven to be a lie based upon fraudulent data and other outright lies. Furthermore, and incredibly I might add, the leader of this movement, Al Gore, has been proven to have one of the largest personal carbon footprints of any other individual, and is doing nothing to change that.

Through Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac programs, they forced the investment community, and the nation into an unprecedented financial crisis by requiring banks and other lenders to extend sub-prime mortgage loans to individuals who did not have the means to pay, and who subsequently defaulted in record numbers.

And though they have proven to possess minimal credible business experience, they believe that they can run the auto industry, the banking industry, healthcare, etc, better than people who have spent their lives in corporate achievement.

Our president, in cooperation with the trade unions, believes that they can turn out better citizens by re-writing the history books the way that they wish it had been, instead of the way it was; that by purging Christianity from our culture they can create a better society; that by attacking industries and companies that are not organized, and forcing them to adopt union policy they will make the playing field more level for average Americans. It is not so. Advancement based upon individual merit, which is foreign to union labor, and the competition between corporations and other businesses are the hallmark of the free enterprise system that made America the envy of the rest of the world. Furthermore, it is the unions that have destroyed whole industries in America and the auto industry is the new “poster child” for the failure of union dominated companies to compete in the global marketplace.


Irrational conduct such as this can be expected to occur, when the inmates run the asylum my friends, and the politically correct, irrational and futile attempts to protect us in the air are just further evidence of that analogy. We cannot continue to accept leadership in Washington that is so obviously inept. We deserve better.

Morons Of America, Please Stand Up!

After listening to a couple of hours of talk radio this morning, I just have to add a few more comments regarding the aftermath of activities by the Christmas Day Panty-Bomber.

Please people,.........let’s stop sounding so ridiculous!! To prevent terrorism on air flights we're going to randomly screen passengers via full body imaging and not let people read, hold anything in their hands or go to the bathroom during the final hour of a flight?? I mean, Come on!!!

We have morons running our Homeland Security program. I'm sorry!! I wish that there was another name for it but......there isn't!! Mark Levin said on his radio program yesterday, "I feel like I'm living near a giant Jim Jones commune" (sic), and I know what he means. Think people..........think........or you may one day find yourself in a village somewhere drinking the arsenic laced Kool-Aid.

Every time I hear someone like even popular conservative talk show host Dennis Prager saying, “I’m all for full body scanning. It will make our air travel a lot safer”, I just want to say, “People go put on your moron hats and sit quietly in the corner somewhere and do........ whatever morons do”, no offense intended Dennis.

The only way that enforcement of the quiet hour prior to arrival at a destination, or random full body scanning prior to the flight will make anything safer is if another moron is the one who is traveling with the bomb and/or being scanned prior to boarding. Considering these new and enhanced security measures, it goes without saying that on any flight lasting over 60 minutes the terrorist will have to use the remaining duration prior to the final 60 minutes to activate his package (I can’t believe I am explaining this). Furthermore, random full body scans will not catch the Arab/Muslim terrorist, most of the time. Profiled full body scans won’t either because if the terrorist wedges it in his.....you know........, which he very happily will, it won’t be seen by the imaging machine anyway.

These notions will be no more effective in actually providing security for air travelers than requiring infrequent flyers from say, Oklahoma, to throw away their toothpaste, shampoo, bottled water and a $4.00 cup of Starbucks coffee prior to entering the ’security’ area, when finally taking that rare flight to see their children who now live in California.

I wonder, how dumb we have to be before we truly become the laughing stock of the world. I’m sorry but surely I’m not the only one who sees the wry humor in our ridiculously misguided attempts to secure air travel. Take my shoes off ?? Don't make me laugh!!

The kind of explosives being used by Arab/Muslim terrorists will not usually be caught by any current screening techniques. The only way to maximize safe air travel is to deny boarding rights to anyone who fits a profile that has been known to be a threat to the safety of air travelers, i.e. Arab/Muslims whose fathers have reported them as possible terrorists, are traveling without papers or luggage and paying $3,000. cash for a one way ticket to America. If some very simple and rational rules of logic had been applied, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab would not have even been on Northwestern flight #253 on Christmas Day where ~300 travelers narrowly escaped death when the detonator that , Umar had brought onboard merely set his pants on fire instead of igniting the bomb that he had wedged into his...........you know........

Wake up, America!! Wake up, before it's too late!!

Why Airline Safety Cannot Be Insured

On Christmas Day, 2009, a Yemeni Muslim Terrorist successfully executed a bomb attack upon Northwest Airline flight #253 while in route from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan. No one was killed, no thanks to Homeland Security or TSA, only because the bomb’s ignition system failed, after which other alert passengers seized the moment and subdued the terrorist.

No security screening technology that is currently in use, or is planned to be put into use would have prevented this act, so to pretend that we are going to take drastic measures (by adding full body scans), and by doing so will assure airline safety, is either purposely patronizing and deceptive, or just plain stupid.

Three days after the Christmas Day attack, Mr. Obama came out with a statement which implicated Al Qaeda. To which my daughter responded, “Thank you, Captain Obvious”!!

Quite frankly, I don’t give two hoots whether it was the act of the Taliban, Al Qaeda or simply the random act of yet another Middle Eastern Muslim terrorist. It does not even matter to me that our Homeland Security is so ineffective that it let a man whose own father had turned him in as a potential terrorist, a man who showed up at the airport in Amsterdam with no luggage and no travel papers, and paid $3000 cash to purchase a one way ticket to Detroit, and did so with no problems. It is irrelevant to me that 23 year old Nigerian, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, in spite of all the evidence that would seem to have justified it, received no special scrutiny or screening whatsoever because to be politically correct, we refuse to profile in order to protect our citizens from harm,....but even if we did, we must face the inescapable conclusion that even that would not really secure the safety of air travel.

And so yesterday, we were requiring all passengers and their carry on items go through metal detectors, and today we plan to add random full body scans using the long threatened imaging technology that looks through clothing but does not inspect body cavities or crevices. When that proves to be ineffective, which indeed it will, and anyone but a moron can determine that for himself, what will we do next? Begin strip searching passengers so that body cavities and crevices may be "looked into"? And when that doesn’t suffice, will we add MRI or X-Ray scans performed on passengers to find ingested or surgically implanted WMDs?

None of these actions will be effective unless we begin barring Arabs/Muslims from integrated flights and so, what if we do that? Well, airline safety will be dramatically improved but, the Arab/Muslim terrorists will simply shift their focus to football domes, or malls, or some other target of their venom.

I’m sorry, but after having my personal freedom trampled upon more and more, and year after year, and after waiting over 8 years since the September 11, 2001 attack on America for someone in the Arab/Muslim community to step up and condemn the behavior of Muslim terrorist in the world, to act like real Americans, I have become radicalized against their continued presence and impact upon my personal freedom and the lives of my family members and friends.

Islam is not really so much a religion as a radical ideology which tolerates nothing less than total societal change. The changes that they desire are backward, ugly, dangerous and intolerable to civilized people, and those who follow it are destroying every modern culture around the world that acquiesce to their desires.

It is therefore my view that Muslims, and the Muslim religion itself must be purged and totally banned from this country, and that if we don‘t urgently take such radical action, we place the future of our children in the greatest of jeopardy.

Wake up, America!! Wake up before it’s too late!!

Well, Everything May Just Be Fubar!!

On this New Year's Eve, with so many things off base as we witness a legislative and judicial system out of control (and the Supreme Court itself legislating from the bench), unabashed distribution of Socialist propaganda by the Establishment Media, habitual glorification of immorality under the guise of entertainment, genocide being committed against helpless children while still in the wombs of their mothers, celebration of the abominable practices of homosexuality, government takeover of private industries and health care, suppression of free speech, gun control, phony environmental legislation, inappropriate, ineffective and inaccurately portrayed information being disseminated within our public schools, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, one cannot escape the very real possibility that everything may just be Fubar!! That is to say, in the nicest way that I possibly can, Fouled Up Beyond All Repair!!

Maybe it is too late to close the gate, since the cows are already out. Perhaps it isn't possible to put the Genie back in the bottle but one thing that we can know for certain, trying to maintain a status quo that is a moving target, as we continue to witness the ongoing devolution of our national heritage is not going to suffice. When degeneration of a culture is considered progress, and loss of morality a sign of societal maturation then just saying ‘enough is enough’ is simply and decidedly inadequate if salvation of the culture is to be accomplished.

It is my view that a grassroots movement by 'we the people', that calls for major reform in Washington is both urgent and long overdue. Sitting here waiting for the next election dates with the intent of somehow voting out the old (representatives) and voting in the new (representatives) , without making any philosophical adjustments is, to put it bluntly, lame, ineffective and foolish! Let's instead begin a movement that brings before the people topics to vote upon that allow for reformation of behavior and rules that have crept into our government and that now clearly threaten our very freedom. But personally, I'm not sure that at this late stage of devolution even that will be sufficient to turn back the clock or repair the destruction of America that we continue to witness.
There is just cause, and immediate need for the following to be put to a vote before 'we the people' of the United States:

*Term limits for all public servants [read: elected officials and those whom they appoint]. No longer than 8 years for any elected official, not a career in public office.

*No golden retirement plans; No tenure, No pensions for any of these individuals. Social Security, when eligible, just like every other ordinary citizen. A salary while in office but no continuation of payment burdening the public afterwards. Said salary should be determined by the will of the people, not by Congress, especially with regard to Congressional salaries and benefits. We need to put an end to the practice of allowing the 'weasel to guard the hen house', so to speak. We need to return to the practice of sending patriots and public servants (those who wish to serve) to Washington, not mercenaries.

*A Requirement for our lawmakers to live by the same laws, measures and benefits they impose upon 'we the people' during their terms in public office(no elite sector s that live above the law and the masses).

*Move to end the ridiculous practice of lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court, and of allowing this high court to reinterpret the intent of our Constitution.

*Demand appropriate action from those who we send to Washington to represent our interests. That they immediately consider non-exhaustive activities such as:

*The rollback of all laws that have been enacted that are contrary to the intent of the Constitution of the United States.
*The rollback of all laws that are contrary to the Biblical fundamentals upon which this nation was founded .
*The rollback and/or deregulation of some of our societal changes and a restoration of reason . ( includes a long list of inexplicable regulations that have been imposed upon us without sound logic having been applied)
*Ending subsidization of illegal immigrants and their children
*The prosecution of any individual who commits treason
*Reinstatement of the concept of "Don't Tread On Me"



On November 7th, 2008, I advanced these thoughts and questions:

Generations before us, all the way back to colonial times, have given their blood, sweat and tears to preserve our culture and protect our freedom. I wonder if we are up to the challenges that we now face? I wonder what any American generations that exist in the future will say about us?

On November 9th, I added:

With over half of the voting population of America casting their votes in support of the most immoral agenda in the history of America, in blind support of the intrinsic moral wickedness that is currently being advanced by the far left, it is time to for all of us to 'get off the fence'.

On April 10th, 2009, I observed:

My dear friends, . . . 'We The People’, . . . our national complacency, and acceptance of moral decay is palpable, and astounding!

Then on April 15th, I implored you:

I pray that right thinking Americans will resist the slide to Socialism, to their last breath. And beyond personal and community based charity for those who are truly in need, as opposed to those who simply believe themselves to be entitled, I pray that we will fight to preserve what conservatives for generations have called the American way: Capitalism based on the competition of free enterprise, and of a free market system augmented by abiding, personal and relentlessly ambitious commitment to personal excellence.

On April 22nd, I made this impassioned plea:

We are, one nation of united states by design, under God by His creation and sovereign will; But the reigning liberals, and their followers, are putting this great nation at risk of losing it all, when they blindly, and ignorantly, interpret evil as good and good as evil; when they don't want to face the ugly truth, even when they see it with their own eyes, preferring rather to ignore the facts; when they defend what is evil and condemn what is good; when they refuse to call those who have repeatedly attacked us, terrorists, but are more than willing to call God fearing American citizens, "right wing extremists", and "a security threat to the nation" because we have the audacity to express outrage, at the outrageous conduct and attitudes of those very same liberals.

On April 29th, I observed:

I hear frustrated people every day who agree with the description of the problem, but complain, "What can I do, I'm only one person without significant influence". Well, once again the perhaps rhetorical question, "What are you willing to do?" You may answer the question now, if you like, or you can answer it later, but answer it you will.

On June 10th, I offered this perspective:

My dear friends, it is not difficult to understand why the people who give unconditional support to the socialist goals of Obama do so, (the Black Americans, Sodomites, Abortionists, Labor Unions, Muslims, Welfare Recipients, Illegal Immigrants, Hedonists and the like), but when I begin to hear a softening of tone, a rationalizing of standards, a move toward the left and compromise of substance from those who have been the public face of American conservatism, how can I not feel a little confused and demoralized. When I also hear a left shift from my personal friends and fellow conservatives toward a more moderate view, and an underlying criticism of those who would boldly speak out against the tyranny of socialism and yes, against this administration, it is difficult to believe that our national heritage is not at great risk. When we become like sheep, the wolves will devour us.

On June 16th, As I told a tale of the battle between a good and a bad wolf, and closed with the following:

..........in Turkey last week (on June 3), as he has done before, Barack Hussein Obama declared that we are not a Judeo-Christian nation. On June 4, he paid homage to Islam, repeatedly calling the Koran Holy, and quoting from it over and over for emphasis.
Asked last year to clarify his remarks on America’s spiritual heritage, Obama repeated them to the Christian Broadcast Network: “I think that the right might worry a bit more about the dangers of sectarianism. Whatever we once were, we’re no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers,” Obama wrote in an e-mail to CBN News senior national correspondent David Brody.
“We should acknowledge this and realize that when we’re formulating policies from the statehouse to the Senate floor to the White House, we’ve got to work to translate our reasoning into values that are accessible to every one of our citizens, not just members of our own faith community,” wrote Obama.

"Grandfather which wolf will survive?"
"The one that is fed, my son."

On November 9th, commenting on the Fort Hood massacre, I stated:

It is time for the ‘I'm OK, your OK’ generation that are trying to destroy the moral values of this country, the Establishment Media, the ObamaNationistas, Homeland Security, the FBI, politically correct military officers like, General Casey, and Fort Hood base commander Lt. General Cone (who said that “the evidence did not point to terrorism” sic), to stop making excuses. What has happened in this country that we are no longer willing to call a spade a spade, for fear that we may hurt our careers or appear to be politically incorrect? Even the doctors who worked with Major Hasan were said to be so "creeped out" by him that they purposely steered patients away from him, but were afraid to report his behavior to their superiors. As a collective consequence of reluctance, pacifism or apathy, on the part of those whom we rely upon to protect us, 13 souls departed this life last week, 30 more lay wounded, some critically, and 43 families are grieving. And every true patriot in this nation grieves with them.

On November 18th, I ventured the following:

Where did we think all of this would lead us? Barack Obama is the most transparent president in history. He never felt the need to disguise his intentions and is doing exactly what he said he would do, should he be elected president.
This nation did not elect one that it believed to be the Messiah and then later find that in reality he had evil intentions that are contrary to what was expected. No. What has become, and is rapidly becoming an ever more evil and foolish nation elected him for just what he is now proving himself to be: an Abortionist, a Muslim, a Blasphemer, a Marxist, a Racist, a Narcissist and a Tyrant, who despises American capitalism and the free enterprise system that has made it the most powerful and envied nation upon the earth.
He and all those who align themselves with him are resolute in their determination to destroy the moral basis upon which this great nation was founded, they intend to deprive us of the freedoms guaranteed to us by our Constitution, and are bent upon the destruction of our very way of life.

The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men. Psalms 12: 8




And now, as we witness the close of the 2009th year of our Lord, do we conclude that this nation is irretrievably Fubar? As I look back over this, another year, I find myself to be even more convinced than ever that unless a change in direction is initiated, this nation is headed toward a great peril.

May 2010 be a year that is blessed by God on our behalf, and may we find within ourselves the answers to the questions: What are we willing to do, which wolf will we feed, and what will any American generation that may exist in the future say about us?

Wake up America!! Wake up, . . . . .before it's too late!!
