NATIONAL SECURITY LATEST CASUALTY OF OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

Two events occurred Christmas that reveal the sad state of airline security: (1) A Nigerian national on a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit fired off an incendiary device that, had it worked as intended, would have killed nearly 300 passengers and crew on board plus an unknown number on the ground, and (2) A Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Detroit was diverted to Iceland where it was searched for suspicious baggage; it was later discovered that the baggage was okay, but that the owner had not boarded the plane in Frankfurt.

Violations of security protocol occurred in both events; it was by the Grace of God that no terrorist act succeeded.

In the first case, the Nigerian purchased his ticket with cash; the ticket was a one-way ticket. Both of these actions were sufficient reason for agents to pull the passenger aside and give him a thorough going over, which would have resulted in his bomb packet being discovered between his legs. I have had that done to me in an instance where I had to purchase a one-way ticket on short notice due to a funeral; I flew from Spokane to Albuquerque to Reno, and I was thoroughly screened several times along the way. Adding insult to injury, the Nigerian’s father, a well-known Nigerian bank executive, had warned officials that his son had turned to radical Islam. Evidently, no one cared enough to communicate that information to TSA. Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano basically shrugged the incident off, saying: “The system worked.” What outright and blatant audacity.

In the second case, security protocol requires that the flight cannot take off if a passenger has checked baggage on board and is not on the flight himself. When the passenger failed to board in Frankfurt, his luggage should have been removed prior to takeoff. To my knowledge, Janet Napolitano didn’t even comment on this incident; maybe she realized that the “system” was NOT working, so she shucked and ducked. That seems to be the modus operandi for everyone in the Administration.

Both of these incidents underscore an ominous fact: Security lapses are not receiving the attention they should be, thereby leaving us at the mercy of the “Grace of God” in the future.

We must now ask ourselves in what other areas of management Janet Napolitano has proven herself to be incapable of administering. What about border security? She has proven several times that her knowledge of border laws is not very extensive. She blocked further federal funding for Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s immigration enforcement unit.

She is also the one, if you remember correctly, who said that returning veterans pose a risk of right-wing extremism. In fact, she identifies you and I as being right wing extremists if:

• You believe in the 2nd Amendment
• You believe in the right to life
• You believe in the right to free speech
• You are a veteran who honorably served your country
• You believe in the right to peaceably assemble
• You desire that your government not waste YOUR money
• You believe you pay enough taxes already
• You are a returning member of the military who risked your life for your country
• You desire the laws of our land be ENFORCED and our BORDERS SECURED!
• You are of the Jewish or Christian faith and believe the government should protect against radical Islamic fundamentalists who desire to kill you and other Americans
• You believe those who violate the law should NOT be rewarded with YOUR tax dollars

Back in June, James Von Brunn walked into the National Holocaust Museum and opened fire with a difficult- to-conceal 22-caliber rifle and killed a guard. He was a convicted felon, barred by the law from owning or possessing a gun. He had spent six years in jail for the attempted kidnapping of Paul Volcker of the Federal Reserve Board. He was an acknowledged hater of Jews and Negroes, a "radical extremist" who, according to Janet Napolitano, should have been high on the watch list. But, for some inexplicable reason, he wasn’t.

Like Tim Geithner, she needs to be replaced. Obama’s collection of monkeys, idiots, fascists, and Marxists all needs to be replaced.

Yes, I am a right wing extremist. I firmly am against the likes of Marx, Lenin, Chavez, Stalin and Bill Ayers. And, I will continue to be vocal in my opinions, because I am an American and I have the right to be vocal. You can call me a “Tea Party lunatic,” a politically incorrect, angry man…whatever you want, I don’t care.

Enough is enough.
