Napolitano Announces New Security Issue!

So what is this dire threat?  Is it..

• Yet another foreign nationality that hates the US?  - No!
• Discovery of yet another weapons-smuggling operation? - No!
• Discovery of nuclear arms caches within the US? - No!
• Bombs set to go off at key locations? - No!

Then what did Napolitano identify as a "security issue"?  Well, sit down.  Have the smelling salts ready, for you will be terrified.  It's CLIMATE CHANGE!

Assuming that you haven't rammed your fist through your monitor by now, you can read this CNSNEWS.com article to hear how she justifies this waste of tax dollars.  Moreover, you no doubt will understand clearly why she simply cannot waste precious Homeland Security dollars on such trivial matters such as securing our borders and preventing illegal aliens from marching right on in (as did several of the 9/11 bombers).

This and the de facto sexual assaults in the airports are just two of the reasons why Napolitano, and the entire DHS, must go.

Police State Watching 40 Days For Life Activists Already?

Remember when I posted this piece detailing how Federal officials are being "trained" (brainwashed?) to watch pro-lifers as they engage in First Amendment activities?  The training, of course, was offered by "unbiased experts" such as Planned Parenthood, National Abortion Federation, et al.

The 40 Days for Life campaign is occurring now throughout the country.  One is going on in Fairfax VA.  Watch this report (UPDATE: The original link no longer works, as the video was removed and uploaded to youtube.  Click here if you can't see embedded video) as the Fairfax group describes an apparent surveillance operation.  They appear to be the targets, and Department of Homeland Security seems to be engaging in the surveillance.

Can we all say "Big Brother is snooping"?

More Info On the Would-Be Detroit Bomber

I heard on the radio today that Robert Gibbs said that there were over 500,000 names on the terrorist list, as if that were an excuse.  It doesn't take a computer that long to scan through a file of that size.  However, let's say, just for argument's sake, that Gibbs was right.  Were there other clues that might have tipped off the security people that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was a threat?  Let's see..

1. His father, a high-ranking Nigerian official who suspected his son's radical proclivities, called the local American embassy to warn them.  Should that have raised red flags?
2. He paid for his ticket with cash.  For most sane people, alarm bells would have sounded loudly; why not in this case?
3. His ticket was "one-way".  That is a classic sign of a potential threat.
4. He had no luggage.  Why did that not raise suspicions?

Items 2-4 above suggest that Abdulmutallab was a fairly stupid individual, and that might be why his fellow passengers are alive today.  Unfortunately, Homeland Security and its partner agencies were equally brain-dead, if not more so.

So now that we see how our Federal tax dollars were hard(ly) at work with regards to security, can we just imagine this joyous scenario that will most assuredly occur should the Hell Bill pass?  Let's say we have a government-appointed doctor who examines a patient..

Doctor:  "Good morning.  What are your symptoms?"
Patient: "I'm short of breath.  I have a tightness in my chest and pains going down my left arm and up my jaw."
Doctor: "Indigestion.  If that doesn't work, call the goverment office next week and maybe you can be seen in a month or so."
Patient never calls because he drops dead from another heart attack the next day.

Yep!  That's coming soon to a family near you if this mess passes!   Hello, USCCB and MCC - are you awake yet??

Homeland Security - Hard(ly) Working to Keep You Safe!

By now we're all aware of the Christmas-day miracle that thwarted a bombing attempt of Northwest Airlines Flight 253.  The would-be perpetrator, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, was already on a terrorist watch list - yet he was allowed to board.

Not to worry, though! Our intrepid administration of Hope and Change was on the job!  Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano assured us, "The whole process of making sure that we respond properly, correctly and effectively went very smoothly.. That's part of what I keep saying, is security is everybody's responsibility.  The passengers and the flight crew deserve our praise, and the system went into full alert mode leaning forward, literally, within minutes, an hour of the incident occurring in the air."

Got that?  The system went into full alert mode after the incident.  Golly-gee-whiz!  Isn't it supposed to go into alert before these incidents occur?  Later on, Napolitano conceded that the security goofed bigtime.

Of course, the Obama administration quickly "reassured" us all that it is not part of a terrorist plot - even though Abdulmutallab claims Al Qaeda affiliation.  Amazing, isn't it, that they immediately know that's the case?  They had that same kind of "reassurance" right after the Fort Hood massacre.

Ladies and gentlemen, these are the same people who want to take over your health care!  Now that we have yet another example of their complete incompetence, do we want to put our lives into their hands?
