It’s possible that this website is the only thing standing between me and a heart attack. I’ve been screaming at friends, the television and radio for the past few days about the Crotch Bomber on the Christmas Day Northwest flight. Now it’s time for me to get this off my chest and scream at you. So sit back, relax, enjoy, and let the Beefboy do, what the Beefboy does best… and that’s break it right on down for you.
The biggest issue that I have is that the Crotch Bomber was on a terrorist watch list. His father informed us in November 2009 that his son had become a card-carrying terrorist. Despite the warning, the Crotch Bomber received a travel visa from the USA and walked on board the plane without even being searched or questioned.
What we have Beefanatics, is the illusion of security bolstered by the burlesque performance we must go through at the airport, instead of real security that would require Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano and President Obama to actually do their job. The bottom line is, you are not safe from terrorism until we nut-up and stop being politically correct. As Obama is fond of saying, let me be clear, I’m not letting Bush off the hook either. Many of the problems we have with security were started under the Bush Administration and are only being exacerbated under Obama.
Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security Secretary, was one of Obama’s first appointments. She’s been on the job for a little under one year and has demonstrated that she is far more concerned with hurting terrorist’s feelings than she is with protecting America and its guests. Her first acts were to change the word “terrorist” to “man-caused disaster”, and change “the Global War on Terror” to “the Overseas Contingency Operation”. Thank God she took care of that – right? She also scuttled the color warning code (okay that actually was a useless piece of shit).
So let me ask you these questions. If you were appointed as the nation’s chief of security would your first priority be to change the language of the previous administration? How does changing these words make you and me safer? Does it sound like security is Napolitano’s first concern or is politics the first concern? As Billy Mays would say… don’t answer that; there’s more!
When the Fort Hood terrorist killed 13 and injured over 30 people, Napolitano’s official take was that this was the act of a crazy man with no political or religious motivations and most importantly not to “jump to conclusions.” Of course we soon discovered that he had direct communication with terrorists and exhibited political and religious extremism several years prior to his terrorist attack. The fact that he was a Muslim actually shielded him from being scrutinized by his military superiors or by the FBI, for fear of offending the little darling. Under Obama, political correctness is literally fatal.
Fast forward to this weekend when Napolitano made the rounds on the Sunday news programs. She beamed about the way passengers, crew and everyone else reacted to the botched attack. Her official take was how our security system worked “like clockwork.” Of course, when pressed on the massive failure of keeping the Crotch Bomber off the flight in the first place, she blamed it on Bush and said there would be a review. Way to absolve yourself of any responsibility Janet! Maybe you should have had a review when you took the job, instead of working so hard on new ways to say “terrorist”!
President Obama took a few moments on Monday (four days after the attack) to comment on his administration’s failure to protect the people on the Northwest flight. On one hand Obama says that this is an “isolated extremist” and on the other hand he vowed not to “rest until we find all who were involved and hold them accountable.” So which is it Mr. President? Did the man do this alone, or was he supported by a terrorist network?
We already know the answer to that and have for four fucking days! Al Qaeda took responsibility for the attack and the Crotch Bomber has ties to the Yemen terror network and to terrorists who were released from Guantanamo Bay. In fact, a British newspaper is reporting that there are another 25 men who have been trained to bomb airlines! And again, the man’s own father told us in November that he was a terrorist. If I know that, then the President knows that. Like Napolitano, Obama is bending over backward to downplay, obfuscate, omit and abdicate all responsibility for the terrorist attack.
Frankly, Obama and Napolitano think that you are too stupid to figure out that they are woefully inept at keeping us safe. Their reaction is to do some reviews and have travelers do a new song-and-dance routine when they fly. Among other things, airline passengers lose the ability to see their progress on seat monitors, must stay in their seat for the final hour of flight and must not have anything in their lap for the last hour. Apparently our leaders think terrorists can’t wear a watch and figure out how long they have left in their flight! Millions of travelers are being poked, prodded and punished for the actions of a handful of men, and it’s all for nothing.
Instead of real security, we have the illusion of security, solely for the purpose of making you feel safe, and only effective in harassing the innocent. What we need to do is eradicate political correctness and start dealing with terrorism with common sense, investigation and profiling. If, like the Fort Hood terrorist, you are well known for your radical views and the FBI is following your internet activities, you should be removed from the military, rather than promoted. If, like the Crotch Bomber, you end up on a terrorist watch list, you should be pulled aside and questioned and searched, before you ever get on a jet to the civilized world.
Does any of that sound extreme to you? Or rather, does it sound like the bare minimum that we should be doing to protect lives?
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has become the Illusionist-in-Chief, consumed with ways to gloss-over threats instead of eradicating them. President Obama is overly concerned with the feelings of our enemies instead of the security of this nation. He should fire Homeland Security Clown Napolitano immediately, wake up, and get serious about terrorism before there is a major attack on his watch, because brother… it’s coming.
I realize that would require Obama to get his lazy ass out of Hawaii and stay off the fucking golf course, but that shouldn’t be a problem for a man obsessed with change.
See? Since I got that off my chest, I feel much better!
