Napolitano Must Go — Now
First, consider this, sourced to a report by ABC’s Jake Tapper:
Bomb experts say there was more than enough explosive to bring down the Northwest jet, which had nearly 300 people aboard, had the detonator not failed, and the nation’s outdated airport screening machines may need to be upgraded.
“We’ve known for a long time that this is possible,” said Richard Clarke, former counterterrorism czar and ABC News consultant, “and that we really have to replace our scanning devices with more modern systems.”
Clarke said full body scans were needed, “but they’re expensive and they’re intrusive. They invade people’s privacy.”
Al-Qaeda, said Clarke, is aware of this vulnerability in the U.S. airport security system. “They know that this is a weakness and an Achilles’ heel in our airport security system and this is the second time they’ve tried it.”
Napolitano is trying to backtrack on her statement, beginning with an appearance on Fox News:
“Here, clearly, something went awry. We want to fix that problem,” Napolitano told Fox News on Monday.
She said officials are doing a complete review to determine what needs to change to prevent such a passenger from clearing security in the future.
“No secretary of Homeland Security would sit here and say that a system worked prior to this incident which allowed this individual to get on this plane,” Napolitano said. Her comments marked a change in tone from the day before, when she lauded security officials’ handling of the affair.
On Fox News, Napolitano clarified Monday that she was referring to security precautions that went into effect for other flights following the incident in Detroit.
“My comment was that once this incident occurred we were able to immediately notify the 128 flights already in the air from Europe,” she said. “We were able to immediately institute new security precautions. … And we were immediately able to provide additional security for the traveling public.” …
“This individual was able to get on this plane with this material. That should not have happened,” she said.
From the same Fox report above, what her Sunday statement actually reveals is her attitude toward Homeland Security. To Napolitano, it’s the bureaucratic shuffling that takes place after an incident that matters most. Unfortunately, that jibes with the policing, or criminal law, approach also advocated by Obama. Fighting terrorism is not a proactive military quest with this group, it is a reactive policing affair. What that doesn’t do is put America’s security first in our global battle with radical religious terrorists who seek to do America and Americans great harm and cause a large number of our deaths:
I think the important thing to recognize here is that once this incident occurred, everything happened that should have. … We trained for this. We planned for this.
If Obama wants to convince the American people he takes protecting them and the homeland seriously, he’d do well to end his extended golf outing in Hawaii. Once back, if he then wants to show his commitment to the kind of change he promised, change that appoints competent individuals based on their expertise, and not as political favors bestowed upon unqualified political hacks because they helped him get elected, he should fire the hapless Napolitano immediately upon his return.
Until he does that, Americans are right to question whether Obama’s chief concern is his backswing, or striking a blow against radical terrorists still so obviously intent on taking a fatal swing at us.
Any guesses on whom he might replace her with?
Janet displays a deer in the headlights , type of look during media
appearances.
Her right wing hit piece might as well been released on April 1.
Most violence , 98.9% comes from the left…see COPENHAGEN.
She and the czar’s, President Obama appointed are complete jokes.
Liberals live in a constant state of denial. Blind of their responsibilities it’s we who ultimately pay the price for their sheer arrogance, unnecessary excess and pathetic negligence. Party politics has no place when it comes to the defense and security of our nation. Napolitano’s incompetency is a threat to all of us. To say that her resignation/removal is long over due is an understatement.
There is no place like Hawai’i, the mellow luke-warm air, the gentle warm rain, enjoying a glass of fresh-squeezed guava juice on the beach – how nice that the Baboon can enjoy these perks.
To be fair, it is possible Napolitano was in shock after the attack. She was heard chanting: “The system worked…The system worked…The system worked.”
It wasn’t until somebody slapped her that she came to her senses.
HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL
======================
A vital piece of information is missing in the Xmas Day incident.
How did this guy obtain a US VISA IN THE FIRST PLACE to enter the USA?
(I’m amazed no one has even mentioned this on ANY news outlet).
As a foreign national, he would have had to visit a US Consulate “somewhere”, supposedly been vetted by those responsible for issuing entry visas and then denied or been issued such a document.
Cherchez “le Visa” story and you’ll find the trail of incompetence continues to dominate our governments anit-terrorist efforts worldwide.
Unfortunately, this incompetent administration member will not be departing soon, because Obama is arrogant.
Look. Napolitano is a schmuck. That she heads the TSA is a sick joke. The TSA itself is a farce and a refuge for institutional imcompetence. Much like the IRS, the TSA is an extension of affirmative action. And in the TSA you get to wear those nifty uniforms. Treating an aborted terrorist attack as a criminal matter, ‘to unlawfully damage an aircraft’, qualifies for Monty Pythons Flying circus. Certainly there are enough twits among the current administration to resurrect that show. If Obama is intent on allowing as many Americans as possible to die, he should put Napolitano in charge of Medicare. This time it was the old explosive underwear trick. Next time, representatives from that great peaceful religion (unmentionable in polite company) might perfect an explosive suppository. There’s a security challenge. The current crew in Washington is not competent to, or is incapable of protecting this country. They have other fish to fry.
The sentiments expressed above are unexceptionable, but as is usually the case, the most important word in the sentence is “if.”
It’s time for serious persons — and for commentators who want to be taken seriously — to cease assuming that Obama and his lieutenants are simply inept and that their policies are merely mistaken. Things appear to be going exactly according to a coherent, ideology-driven plan. Nor is it a plan Americans in general would approve.
Secretary of DHS is the wrong person not for political reasons as stated in this article, but for purely professional ones. There is overwhelming evidence that she is not cut out for the job but the case must be made professionally, not politically.
There seems to be a tendency to lean towards finding political excuses, not sure why. This is simply the wrong person for the job.
I have said a few times on this web site that I fully expect a major terrorist attack to occur in the United States within the next two years. This incident only reiforces my belief that many Americans are going to die simply because the current administration wants to repeal everything the Bush administration did. Think about that. Your security, and that of your family and friends, is being compromised by a bunch of left-wing bureaucrats who just can’t admit that, when it came to fighting terrorism, Bush was right and Obama is wrong. Their pride and stubbornness is going to get people killed and they just don’t care. Click on this link and watch this interview taped yesterday with Carl Rove. http://hotair.com/archives/2009/12/28/quotes-of-the-day-235/
This should have been our response to what happened. Instead, we now have the ACLU defending this killer and we’ll probably never know who sent him, who trained him, who recruited him, and where their principal base of operations is located. Nice going, team Obama. This is a war we’re fighting, NOT a civil police matter. We need way more of Jack Bauer in fighting terrorism, and a lot less of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.
I couldn’t believe she said ‘The system worked’ when the only reason the plane didn’t blow up was from a faulty detonator and some passengers brave enough to not let him try again.
At least Napolitano had the limited awareness to realize that statement didn’t go over well.
I’m still hoping there will be some recognition of the passenger who wrestled the flaming terrorist down and held him in a headlock for the rest of the flight.
TO: Reihl, et al.
RE: If….
….the Detroit bomber had succeeded, Nap would probably have claimed it was air-turbulence that caused the crash.
Like the plane the blew up, YES, I said “Blew-Up” over NYC shortly after take-off shortly after 9/11.
I say that because my late brother-in-law worked for Boeing as an airliner engineer and he said the ‘official story’ on that crash was a impossible.

[The Truth is out there.....]
Fire the clown Napolitano, God help us, Obama will probably promote her to Secretary of Defence!
I work with DHS components daily (I am NOT a DHS employee, but a career federal Law Enforcement officer with almost 30 years experience). However the issue here is the size and scope of DHS, which has 2 competing missions and that lead to her statements about “man-made disasters”. FEMA is all about “responding to all disasters after the fact, man or nature made”, law enforcement does not do that and yet within DHS we mixed both. ICE, CBP and TSA as LE agencies focus on threats, terrorists, criminals, crime, illegal aliens and illegal activity and protecting the public-not responding after the fact to a “man-made disaster”. FEMA should be broken out of DHS as a stand alone entity. DHS with the ICE, CBP, TSA and the US Coast Guard would then have a clear and singular focus-protecting our borders from threats and terrorists getting in. It’s a simple fix but one neither political party has the guts to take on. (note: The USSS should not be in DHS either-but for different reasons and issues, unrealted to this discussion.)
Beyond her ineptitude, Napolitano is a two bagger. If you had the misfortune of sleeping with her you would not only place a bag over her head, but one over your own as well, just in case hers fell off. Ugly.
WE NEED TO FIRE THE IDIOT WHO HIRED JANET NAPOLITANO.
OBAMA IS SURE TO APPOINT SOMEONE JUST AS FECKLESS IF NAPOLITANO IS FORCED TO TAKE THE FALL.
SHE IS JUST DOING OBAMA’S BIDDING (AS IS ERIC HOLDER.)
DON’T THINK FOR A SECOND SHE IS MAKING THESE DECISIONS INDEPENDANTLY.
THIS WHOLE ADMINISTRATION HAS TO GO, STARTING WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA.
Firing Napolitano will change nothing. She is just a façade.
Why replace her? Obama would simply find another Frumpy, Fumbling, Feckless, Fool to take her place.
Obama’s administration is a Man-Caused Disaster.
1. I feel more secure with our Maximum Leader in Hawaii and not in DC.
2. No liberal substitute for Napolitano is likely to function any better. Maybe the PR skills would improve, but that’s all.
3. The only rational system would involve profiling of passengers, which is anathema to our PC government.
It amazes me that the DHS and other security experts keep trying to spin this as the need for full body scans and the need to keep us in our seats for the last hour of a flight rather than a need for the State Dept officials and other agencies need to take good old fashioned intel seriously. A father tells us his son is radicalized; this same son is banned from entering Britain, but that triggers nothing on our end. Maybe DHS should get some help from Facebook and Youtube; they manage to connect the dots of peoples’ interests and tendencies seamlessly.
yes …besides that fact that she should never have been in that position (probably any managerial position).
but I also think the problem is the entire o-BUM-a administration are completely incompetent as well as anti-american, and she is representative of the administration.
welcome to africa
Perhaps what is truly taking place, which seems to not traverse well from retina to neural pathway for those of us in the center and rightward…is the makeup of our current government.
We are used to having a government that recoils in a strong and reflexive manner from our countrymen trying to be mass murdered by a declared enemy.
This current administration is made up of a “protest culture” of individuals. If they have a reflex, it is toward not away from, other protest cultures.
So, when a person who exists in the center or rightward on the political spectrum views actions that are incongruous to their nature by our current leadership, it is because they are viewing the action/reaction chain through their own worldview.
Try viewing all manner of things through the eyes of an American protest culture club member and things will crystallize.
Now, to be fully cognizant of the impact of each step in the process, understand that there is an even further left, lefter, leftist spot on the protest culture spectrum. Michael Moore not only views the war on terror to be a ridiculous notion, he considers our sworn enemies to be heroes. And Ward Churchill believes that the innocents who died on 9/11 to be “little Eichmanns”.
Most (not all) of those nominated or selected for positions in this administration don’t go quite that far. The “inner circle” seem to be quite content to water down the “enemy” to merely a “fellow protest culture, that coincidentally, has us…as its main target”.
As with most protests, within a protest culture, according to our own leadership’s worldview…anyone that “gets out of hand” in “expressing themselves” should be handled within the confines of policing and “keeping order”.
PC responses are not just political correctness any longer, but rather, are protest culture guidelines. Protesting sometimes leads to raised emotions, don’t you know…and this is almost always, someone who simply gets so wrapped up in their “fight the establishment” rage, that they get carried away…and commit a violent act. We don’t want to condemn a whole “group”, for the acts of a tiny minority of protest culture participants, so the thinking goes.
Therefore, you don’t prepare in advance, because it is not a war. You react after the fact, like calling the police…to keep order.
And…you search for “root causes”. Like blaming Bush, which is basically the “original sin” of the religion of Protest Culturists. Apply this mindset to every…every…instance, where this administration said or did something that caused you to shake your head in disbelief.
And, in the future, expect more the same. When the reaction by the masses is too strong, expect lip service to what our eyes consider normal. Then, watch every action/reaction revert to precisely the same as before.
You are living under the rule of a leadershp of Protest Culture club members. This is what it looks and feels like. And because you are not a member, YOU…are more the enemy, than those who mean to kill us.
When Napolitano said the system worked, I think what she meant (without actually saying it) was that the system worked for the Muslim terrorists.
America Betrayed: Jihadists are winning because of pro-Islam Western leaders. U.S. Airport Security Deliberately and Shockingly Destroyed for Islam:

Controversial Muslim group
gets VIP airport security tour
Feds show CAIR latest screening steps,
sensitive counterterrorism procedures
August 18, 2006
The Department of Homeland Security
took a Muslim group with known past ties to terror organizations on a VIP tour of security operations at the nation’s busiest airport at the same time British authorities were working to break up a plot to blow up U.S. airlines.
On June 21, a senior DHS official from Washington personally guided Muslim officials from the Council on American-Islamic Relations on a behind-the-scenes tour of Customs screening operations at O’Hare International Airport in response to CAIR complaints that Muslim travelers were being unfairly delayed as they entered the U.S. from abroad.
CAIR is a spin-off of the Islamic Association for Palestine, identified by two former FBI counterterrorism chiefs as a “front group” for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
Several CAIR leaders have been convicted on terror-related charges.
During the airport tour, CAIR was taken on a walk through the point-of-entry, Customs stations, secondary screening and interview rooms. In addition, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents were asked to describe for CAIR representatives various features of the high-risk passenger lookout system.

Council on American-Islamic Relations: “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” – Omar Ahmad (CAIR co-founder).
Addressing a youth session at the 1999 Islamic Association for Palestine’s annual convention in Chicago, CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) founder Omar Ahmad praised suicide bombers who “kill themselves for Islam,”
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52184
Why was the humanity-hater not placed on a U.S. No Fly List? That’s not hard to figure out. Washington do not regard Muslim terrorists as the enemy. Patriotic, peaceful Americans – pro-lifers, tea party attendees, returning war veterans who risked their lives for America have been listed as the ones to watch out for.
Muslim terrorist training camps that teach murder of non-Muslims and violent Islamic conquest of America are allowed. God help America.

‘Chilling’ new video: How to slit throats
Jihad maneuvers taught at New York compound
December 15, 2009
By Bob Unruh
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
A new video released by the Christian Action Network shows Muslim women at a compound in New York state practicing throat-slitting techniques and assault weapons attacks.
The video was distributed by the makers of the movie “Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S.,” which documents how a jihadist group has developed dozens of training camps across the nation.
WND reported at the time how Jamaat ul-Fuqra has built 35 compounds – mostly in the northeastern corridor of the U.S.
…The U.S. State Department’s 1998 “Patterns of Global Terrorism” report notes the organization “seeks to purify Islam through violence.”
The report continued, “Members have purchased isolated rural compounds in North America to live communally, practice their faith and insulate themselves from Western culture. Fuqra members have attacked a variety of targets that they view as enemies of Islam.”
CAN, led by Martin Mawyer, has researched Muslims of America for years and has provided its video to the FBI, State Department and Homeland Security. To date, there has been no response from the government, the group said.
…”Gilani has stated he is preparing his members to the Soldiers of Allah, and he’s set up the most advanced guerrilla warfare training camps,” he said.
The organization’s “Homegrown Jihad” video includes a chilling scene of Jamaat ul-Fuqra’s leader Sheikh Mubarak Gilani telling followers to “act like you’re his friend. Then kill him.”
According to the Religion of Peace website, there have been more than 250 jihad attacks by Muslims around the globe – including two inside the U.S. – in just the last two months.The death toll from the attacks has surpassed 1,400, the report says.

New MOA Terror Training Video Exposed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebg6AFylios&feature=player_embedded
Dear Readers:
Napolitano is a disgrace however she is carrying out the policies of the Surrender In Chief Barry Obama. Lets be clear though as to where the American public stands in the priorities of this current administration. What do we know now? Well as to national security we can be sure that terrorists will be given constitutional rights. They will be mirandized no matter where they are taken prisoner. They will be given lawyers and korans and be entitled to bleed us dry financially. Their lawyers are high priced traitors from Eric Holders law firm. After all that we will close GITMO (one of the best prisons on earth) because of complaints coming from terrorists and bleeding hearts. We will then apologize for our negative thoughts and having been racists bullies.
When we are not battling for our survival on airplanes we are also under seige by the President trying to ram health care down our throats, being lied to about global warming and now being threatened with carbon taxes, being told we will medically support illegals and give them citizenship. We are under seige from an imperial congress of inside the beltway nanny staters. Our children are being bankrupted by one of the most irresponsible insane President’s and congress in history.
How much more will we take is the real question? Meanwhile back in DC you will hear the media defenders continue to defend the indefensible, tell us all is well, and that we are the problem.
Fed Up
Tommy Gunn
Jim Rice, FEMA does not need to be on its own. It needs to be eliminated. When did we get in the business of emergency care on a national level. I live in LA and can tell you that FEMA has and continues to make the problem worse. They are extremely costly and duplicate eveything on a state level. Get rid of them and tell people to move to areas with less chance of damage to their property.
We should also consider elimination of many other agencies. For instance, why do we have the DEA? Or for that matter ATF? Were does the government get off tell you what you can and can’t purchase as a drug? This concept did not exist prior to 1913 and there were plenty of habituating substances around with the same level of miss use as today. As a doctor, I can tell you that your medical expenses would be far less if you could go obtain what you desire without a prescription. Believe it or not but many countries do this.
As to the TSA, it is a joke. The security is a joke. The problem is that with the introduction of the whole body scanners they are going to introduce significant heath issues. Low levels of radiation are dangerous no matter what they say. Consider that these machines will be handled by people who have no training in radiation or concept of the problems. Instead consider this, the only people trying to do harm belong to the so called religion of Islam, stop them from flying! Result, problem goes away. Then the “religion” is forced to come to grips with its members.
As a resident of Arizona I have always been grateful to Obama for ridding us of Napalitano. J No (or Cr@ppy N@ppy as she is also known here) saddled Arizona with huge budget increases and a debt that we are still dealing with. Napalitano campaigned by complaining that Arizona schools were 46th in the nation and after 6 years of her rule they were still 46th in the nation. Her crowning achievement which she took credit for was all day kindergarten. After being browbeaten by anti-illegal immigration groups here she made a big show of sending a few Arizona guard troops to the border when all they really did was change oil on some trucks and they were not allowed to police the border.
To me the Napalitano appointment which allowed Republican Jan Brewer to take her place is the one thing Obama has done right. I realize that Arizona’s gain has been the country’s loss although I doubt any other Obama pick would have been any better. Sorry country.
Two points here:
1. Is Napolitano responsible for Nigerian airport security?
2. Al Qaeda is saying this is in retaliation for raids Yemeni officials conducted that used US intelligence and possibly military support. Isn’t this the “taking the fight to the enemy” many on the right clamor for?
Dereliction of Duty by The Obama Administration. Plain and simple. If the Bush Admin had done something like this, the msm pundits would be in “outrage mode”.
Key security agencies lack permanent leaders
By EILEEN SULLIVAN, Associated Press Writer Eileen Sullivan, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 3 mins ago
WASHINGTON – Two federal agencies charged with keeping potential terrorists off airplanes and out of the country have been without their top leaders for nearly a year.
It took the Obama administration more than eight months to nominate anyone to lead the Transportation Security Administration and the Customs and Border Protection agency.
President Barack Obama has ordered a review of U.S. security policies following the failed Christmas Day attack on a Detroit-bound flight from Amsterdam. He vowed Monday to “do everything that we can to keep America safe.”
The acting heads of the TSA and CBP — both created in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks — will be at the forefront of these efforts.
DHS became messy basket case under Bush (another example), and cleaning it up is going to take another year at least given its size. I personally think it should be broken up and its components mostly returned to how they were before Bush combined them. FEMA, for instance, use to be a well-run organization under Clinton when it was run by people like James Witt, as opposed to the witless Michaels.
Napolitano tried to further Arizona into a 3rd World country when in Arizona. Her open borders stance is frightening.
Now, she has the nation to espouse her dangerous and moronic decision making.
Lastly, she looks like SNL’s 1990′s character ‘Pat’. Yikes..
DHS, TSA & CBP, Obama, are not to blame for this. The War on Terrorism is to be blamed.
However, Obama is the man in charge, and it does not reflect well on Obama that no one is in charge of the TSA, CBP, and the current leadership of DHS is weak.
We may have to start a fund to defray the expenses the Flying Dutchman
will incure when he’s charged with assault and battery for subduing
the man made disaster.
If the plane did go down, do you think Obama and his band of idiots would have been upset by the reality that there would be 300 or so less taxpayers to rape?
31. BC:That we have replaced an idiot, Bush, with an imbecile, Obama, does not give me much hope that this situation will improve.
That said, I would prefer an aggressive idiot to a supine imbecile. I think South Park had an episode about this…
A sane person does not want to have Janet Incompetano (Mark Steyn term, accurate and apropo) fired. This woman, like Whitehouse spokes-blatherer Gibbs, is a gaff-a-minute idiot machine.
A sane person wants every single problem, gaff, and embarrassment to occur to The Lord Obambi and His administration, all of whom are incompetants.
Remember, The Lord ObaChamberlain and his handlers are dedicated Marxists who want to harm, well actually, destroy the US as it has been for the past 225 years, that is, a free enterprise and capitalistic democratic republic country based on self-reliance and law.
Pretty much anything which slows down or stops these Marxists is good for the US as it is and has been.
Therefore, keep Janet Incompetano !!!!
Janet Napoleonetta. Plain and, apparently, as dumb as a stump. Way to go Mr. President! Might as well have hired Lady Ga Ga.
Napolitano is a complete moron but that is why she was chosen to head the homeland security. Our Muslim president does not believe that Islamic terrorists exist; so he sent the idiot Napolitano out to harass and spy on pro life Christians and ex servicemen. America is doomed there is no escape from this mess; thanks to all those witless hopey changely people who bought into the big Obama lie
I’d say you’re correct, the appointment of Big Sis Napolitano to head up DHS was payback for her political support/assistance while governor of Arizona.
She appears to lack basic understanding, not to mention counterterrorism expertise, and to be mainly focused on making politically correct, gobbleygook-filled utterings to attempt to smooth over situations rather than on hard insights. (I think some Porkulus money under her control has also been badly used, like financing an airport rehabilitation up north where one airplane lands a day, something like that. She said she’d correct the wasteful expenditures, haha)
For the record, it is likely that the appointment of former Governor of Kansas “cough into your sleeve” Kathleen Sebelius as HHS secretary was similarly politically motivated and that she, as well, lacks any actual credentials pertaining to her actual position.
While the “news shows” clamor to get these people (and so many others) on to utter their vapid utterings.
Scrooed, Blued and Tattooed, we are, on so many levels.
The rabid dog Islamists could be blowing a plane a day out of the sky and Dear Leader wouldn’t do a damn thing.
Except wait a couple of days, then make a press announcement that he’s very, very, very upset that all these man-made disasters are happening.
Napolitano is just an extension of Obama. Remember, O. referred to “the alleged” perpetrator. “Alleged”??? Tell that to the passengers and the Dutchman who subdued him. “Alleged”?? In that one word the President conveyed all the subtext we need to know. This is an “isolated” criminal who is entitled to due process, a lawyer and the right to rebut the allegations. Isn’t that just great! Certainly we cannot vigorously interrogate him, but we can feel morally superior for granting him the full panoply of legal rights granted our own citizens.
cf, #23
Most (not all) of those nominated or selected for positions in this administration don’t go quite that far. The “inner circle” seem to be quite content to water down the “enemy” to merely a “fellow protest culture, that coincidentally, has us…as its main target”…You are living under the rule of a leadershp of Protest Culture club members. This is what it looks and feels like. And because you are not a member, YOU…are more the enemy, than those who mean to kill us.
Great insights, oh joy.
Napolitano is just one of many symptoms of a much much bigger problem.
This entire administration is a demonstration of the Peter Principle in action.
Its funny she calls these incidents “man caused disasters”. Its not Islamic terrorism, Muslim fundamentalists, its men. You see to lesbo feminists the root of the problem is men. Men are responsible for all our ills. Its not ideologies religious or political its men.Even a female suicide bomber has to be coerced by men. With this mentality in charge of security we can expect a very eventful future.
Remember, O. referred to “the alleged” perpetrator. “Alleged”??? Tell that to the passengers and the Dutchman who subdued him. “Alleged”?? In that one word the President conveyed all the subtext we need to know.
This is the difference between seeing a combatant caught in the act of guerilla warfare against us, and a “protest culture” participant engaged in an act against “the establishment”.
You would never say that an “alleged” soldier, was firing an “alleged” weapon from an “alleged” clock tower, at our men in uniform, on an “alleged” theater of operations.
When you start to “lawyer up” the defendant for his “misdemeanor” of trying to mass murder 300 or more of our countrymen,…you come up with some pretty mind-bending, pretzel twisting phrases to water down the act to fit the alternate reality of the protest culture.
Tanstaafl: 20% of the population (or less)accounts for the vast majority of the Protest Culture. They DOMINATE the Democratic leadership, legacy media, academia, hollywood and entertainment, however.
However, being in a constant mental state of protest, it being the reflexive response (as opposed, say…to patriotism), accounts for why one would fake weather data, one would need to “redistribute” wealth by invasive hidden tax mechanisms, why one would overhaul the nation’s health care system to shred the elective options for the sick and elderly, why one would champion Mao, Che, Fidel, ….they are seen as comrades in arms, not as brutal dictators.
It explains Van Jones, it explains Mike Klonsky, it explains William Ayers. And Frank Marshall Davis.
It explains the New Party.
It explains the comment about “not being proud”, it explains the comment about “bitter clingers”.
It explains the reaction to the Gates altercation with the police and it explains the Ft Hood and Detroit Nigerian Nightmare situation reaction…such as it was.
It explains the flag pin as the “wrong kind of patriotism” and the no hand over the heart for the Pledge of Allegiance.
It explains the Apology Tour and the deep bows to Arab princes.
What it doesn’t explain, is how 80% of the country allowed our culture to be swarmed by the pervasive effects of this in every corner where we disseminate our information and form our opinions and get our facts.
The part you left out is how incompetent Homeland Security has been since its inception. You obviously don’t care, just want to score points against Obama. You people are sick.
We must understand this administration: these idiots have been believing their own ideological lies for a lifetime and now that they are exposed to the real world they are revealed for what they are:
illiterate idiots, who know nothing about politics, economy, history, philosophy except the ridiculous lies of their marxist and racist propaganda booklets, and who can just speak in a rally and repeat the idiocies of the internationalists’ subversive movement.
Their fanaticism makes them dangerous for Freedom, their idiocy and their ignorance make them lethal for America.
The whole administration should go.
But I guess they will stay and they will allow A LOT of other attacks.
Leave her in place. While she is surely a danger to the American people, her incompetence might be the best weapon hard working, tax paying Americans have against the left and zero.
She destroyed Arizona by being a kid in the candy store when it came to programs. She can also blame some in the GOP controlled legislature but asshe like GWB did nto wield the veto pen to control spending, she wileded it too increase spending. She comes not from a place of production, she has been a parasite most of her life. That is whatever she does has to use the production of others to acomplish it. She never waas qualified to hold this job, that is an indictment of not only Obama but his Cheif of staff Rahm Immanuel. This womanis a lawyer, a prosecutor her whole life is v based on looking backward. The kind of looking backward that does not mean looking forward ever. Is it her fault, perhaps not but she should realize her incapabilities and move on.
The best strategy going forward is profiling combined with severe restrictions for individuals from certain countries coming into ours. Not perfect, but these steps will make it tougher to attack us. My read is that we are about to enter a period of attacks (British intelligence agrees) so we need to stop this PC bull and get on with defending Americans. Napolitano should be fired and replaced with a professional, not another low-grade politician.
We are used to having a government that recoils in a strong and reflexive manner from our countrymen trying to be mass murdered by a declared enemy.
What stupid bullS#$@. The Homeland Security Department was a comedy of errors for eight years, the TSA even more so. The Bush administration was one of the most incompetent in fighting terrorism in the history of the US, from 9-11 to releasing Saudis from Guantanamo who have now gone on to lead the Yemen qaeda group now linked to this failed attempt; they held on to a fourteen year old found at the scene of a battle as if they’re life depended on it, along with some Chinese muslims who never committed any acts against the US. But these guys, were free to go:
Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement that vowed more attacks on Americans.
Great judgement, great leadership. It remains to be seen if Obama can reach the levels of incompetence that Bush did. But first year for first year, its no contest. Bush is the hands all winner of poor leadership.
Hopefully she will remain in place. She might be the best chance for Americans to actually see what they have elected. Remember this is government, which she is a part of, that was put in power in Nov 09
#29 Lefty:
“Two points here:
1. Is Napolitano responsible for Nigerian airport security?
2. Al Qaeda is saying this is in retaliation for raids Yemeni officials conducted that used US intelligence and possibly military support. Isn’t this the “taking the fight to the enemy” many on the right clamor for?”
1) A fair observation and a valid point. I would hope then that the Obama Administration would penalize Nigeria in it’s annual foreign aid goodie-bag until it’s own internal airport security comes up to snuff. The Dutch would be likely to assist in this effort, since they ain’t crazy about these pig-fornicators using their turf for these capers either.
But now when you board an American-flag airliner, you are entering American sovereign territory, (just like a ship), and TSA/DHS most definitely DO have jurisdiction there.
If we need to have TSA assert their authority to foreign airports, then that may be a takeaway lesson from this.
#2) Al Qaeda says a lot of things, not many of which I give any credence to. What they DO, or attempt to do, is what is germane.
So IF it be the case that this was their failed attempt at tit-for-tat, then we should “up the ante” AND “double down”.
The idea here is to keep our defense posture aggressive and primed constantly, while our offense is forever probing and striking hard.
THEY need to spend at least as much time worrying about what WE plan to do as WE spend worrying about THEY are up to, see?
#1 a replacement: How about Dan Diehl? or better yet how about George W.Bush and then let’s have Cheney as his second in command. they did a great job of protecting new York City. there was only one terrorist attack in 9-11 that killed 3000 people. I think they are a very good replacements. Or president Bush SR. right after 9-11 he charted a jet and rounded up all Bin Ladens living in this country to safe haven. how about him?
#3: who is “we” that is paying a price? after all most of the people on this site are high school drop outs. It “I” who is paying a price by supporting your sorry a…ses.
#50: what exactly John Mcain is doing for AZ? can you tell me.
Look here simpletons: Obama is here to stay for another 7 years. so stop moaning and groaning. if you want to blame anyone for the Nigerian act of terror?
1-blame the bush administration for giving him visa
2-blame the dutch for boarding a passenger that is traveling from Amsterdam to Detroit with no luggage.
#52 well siad. I am glad someelse is here on this site to educate these high school drop outs…
Getting rid of JaNo helps nothing at least with her we got the true position of Obama. They did not force her to recant until they got blow back.
Obama must go. Impeach him now.
“2. Al Qaeda is saying this is in retaliation for raids Yemeni officials conducted that used US intelligence and possibly military support. Isn’t this the “taking the fight to the enemy” many on the right clamor for?”
Ah… the illusion of retaliation. Do you really think they would have NOT attacked that plane if there had NOT been airstrikes? Of course they would; they would have just claimed another motivation.
“Look here simpletons: Obama is here to stay for another 7 years. ”
Really? When did we amend the Constitution to change the term for presidents?
“well siad. I am glad someelse is here on this site to educate these high school drop outs…”
*snort*
Yeah, that level of literacy REALLY speaks to your education.
…well, I for one am grateful for Jan. Never again will I have to fly in fear again knowing that no baby blanket or binky will slip thru the cracks and that every fourth eighty-yr-old in line gets wanded for weaponry! Say what you want about our Dear Butch DHS chief, but when the day comes that an airplane is again loaded to the gills with FULL-SIZED Toothpaste tubes is the day I drive! This I swear….
The Trolls are out in force today to protect their Messiah…
Dear Trolls, you Messiah has failed, Your God Is Dead! He will continue to drag along the bottom for the next three years and will go out with approval ratings worse than Bush. He will however successfully double the debt, ruin healthcare, and emasculate our culture militarily.
But I dont need hope when I have faith. It required Carter to get us Reagan, a man who understood that the lowest form of stupidity is weakness.
Keep on Trollin!
Blovis, it it now the position of the left that the prisoners should NOT have been released from Gitmo? Because all we heard for years was that this Dachau of the Carribean needed to be shut down ASAP. If that sentiment is no longer operative, please let everyone know. Also let us know if the remaining prisoners should be released. We’re helpless without your guidance.
TSA: Tub Stackers of America
SteveM:
Blovis, it it now the position of the left that the prisoners should NOT have been released from Gitmo?
I don’t know, you idiot. Ask someone on the left. Though it does seem to be the position of people on the so called “right”, to avoid taking responsiblity for any person, policy or agency they’ve supported, or to turn around on a dime once such are on the opposite team. Do you have an answer to the question of Bush? Why is Obama to blame, when Bush let the mastermind of these attacks out of Guantanamo. And indeed, kept many harmless individuals who’ve gone on to lead peaceful lives once released under lock and key for nearly a decade? Idiot.
Rob #58: look here simpleton: a person can be a president here twice and each time for 4 years. Obama is in his first term and he will be re-elcted to a second term. so here is a quick lesson in math for you
2 terms x 4 years each = 8 -1 year in the office = 7 years.
do you now get it. I don’t have time to teach everyone here math. I am now going for the afternoon prayer!!!
My crazy theory? Napolitano is failing at her job because no one expected her to have to deal with, y’know, actual –terrorism-.
I suspect that Obama really did think that it really would all come to the simple act of taking office, of being “notBush,” and that the terrorism would stop. Napolitano didn’t have to be particularly skilled or prepared for the post, the worst she was expected to handle was some typical hurricane season damage. But people angry enough to blow up our airplanes? That was supposed to come to an end when Obama delivered his speech extending his hand.
Now hear we are nearly a year later. The administration tried to convince us…and themselves…that Ft. Hood was an aberration, a stressed-out loner. But the pants bomber? He’s got everything except a valid Al Queda membership card, and he’s only lacking that because AQ doesn’t issue ‘em.
Obama’s quick read through a statement four days after the attack (and before dashing off to golf) shows this: he’s annoyed because he’s realizing that he was wrong. The terrorists didn’t go away, they’re not –going- to go away, and this whole “president” gig is likely going to be a much harder job than he thought it would be.
Imagine the scorn and ridicule from the MSM and elites if Sarah Palin had made those remarks…
You all are forgetting the political implications of Napalitano’s resignation- the Senate can only debate one item at a time. So long as they are hamstrung by having to vote on a replacement for Napalitano, they can’t take up Obamacare or Cap and Trade. Voting on a replacement permits the Republicans 60 hours of dead time, during which no other matters can be attended to. Every day we keep the Senate talking about other business is one day closer to the midterm elections.
Like any good political bureaucrat, Napolitano seems fixated on being prepared after the fact for anything that might happen — so she can get the memos written and filed correctly, perhaps.
The only good political bureaucrat is an unemployed political bureaucrat. This is exactly why 1) there should be a requirement for a certain number of years’ experience in the productive class for all political appointees (preferably in the area in which the appointee will be working) and 2) term limits for everyone in government, be they elected, appointed or hired.
Mark Steyn (filling in for Rush) made an interesting observation. To wit: Janet Napolitano may be everyone’s favorite punching bag this week, but at least she’s playing the part of a government official who is accountable. She’s out in public maundering like the hopeless fool she is.
However, the fact of the matter is that DHS can’t stop a jihadi from boarding a plane on foreign soil. The Department of State is the agency responsible for issuing Abdulmutallab his visa. Where is Hillary Rodham Clinton, and why is she not getting the 3rd degree from the press? How come she gets to hide behind the drapes during all of this?
Increasingly it is my conclusion that Obama and his people actually believe that the world’s problems are caused by overly aggressive American actions. (It is not that dissimilar to Roosevelt’s dealings with Stalin at Yalta and Potsdam). Thus, the way to halt aggression is by “making nice”. Be humble, be apologetic, be uncritical in the face of outrage and the world no longer has reason to dislike America. The problem is that those who hate the US do so for reasons having nothing to do with America’s goodness or badness or how nice or awful its president is. Rather, it has to do with a world view that is at complete odds with America. And, make no mistake, Islamists have a world view. Obama’s actions are not seen as a reason to compromise but as an opportunity to be taken advantage of. The question is whether Obama and those around him are capable of changing. If he does change I perdict that he will be much harder-nosed than Bush ever was because he is so self-righteous.
is this obama’s “good job browny” moment ?
Obama had paid off Al Queda so that they would not do this, couple of billion buckeroo’s should have taken care of them. Works in Chicago, worked with the recalcitrant Senators, worked with the Unions why wouldn’t the damn terrorist stay bought. Maybe a few more tax dollars to ben Laden’s boys will do it otherwise he will have to stamp his foot, give a speech and really get mad.
Can anyone from Arizona help me understand why she was such a “popular” governor there?
Lefty asked:
1. Is Napolitano responsible for Nigerian airport security?
No, nor for Amsterdam airport security. That’s a cooperative matter. However, the perp DID get a US visa which allowed him to board a flight to the US. He was NOT on the no-fly list which would have kept him off the plane. That’s where DHS went wrong.
2. Al Qaeda is saying this is in retaliation for raids Yemeni officials conducted that used US intelligence and possibly military support. Isn’t this the “taking the fight to the enemy” many on the right clamor for?
al-Qaeda is a terrorist organization. They’ll claim whatever they want. You could indeed argue that they have a ‘right’ to take the fight to us, but then you have to cede that we in return have the right to exterminate them. That’s fine with me.
I’ve heard her called Janet Incompetanto, and I think it fits.
A long time ago the anchoress said “I insist that I be given Janet Napolitanos job” She sure couldn’t do any worse. http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/theanchoress/2009/04/28/linkaround-flowers-weeds/
the State Department, riddled with America loathing incompetents, is much to blame as well. as an earlier poster pointed out…how did he EVER get a VISA!?!?!?
Quote Ms-(anthrope) Napolitano “I think the important thing to recognize here is that once this incident occurred, everything happened that should have. … We trained for this. We planned for this.”
The “this” she brags about – changing the system after an occurrence makes little sense in any form…but even less when you understand it was only a fluke that the bomb failed to go off. It was purely – and luckily – totally unintentional it didn’t go off. Doesn’t this dolt understand that?
There is no doubt that the PETN bomb was more than powerful enough to send the plane and its 300 passengers crashing to earth killing all aboard. But there families could take solace in Napolitano’s out and out stupid claim the system worked after the incident! Good God how stupid is this woman??!!
Wooo-hooo Dan!
Great and very factual article; I’m just surprised Obama hasn’t done it sooner insofar as her inability to even get the politically correct angles wrong — as you so well described in your piece. Thank you indeed!
jon paul aka onemorecup
is this obama’s “good job browny” moment ?
If it were, all these idiots would be falling all over themselves with excuses about how the the TSA is to blame or the Nigerian airport security, or how a previous administration released the mastermind of Yemen’s al quaeda. No, its certainly not a “good job browny” moment, because that would mean that everyone else is to blame.
Janet Napolitano should be fired & her next trip should be on Saturday Night Live, poking fun at herself, as she tries desperately to be funny; it worked for Janet Reno. However, given the corrupt Obama Administration, she will keep her job until someone gets killed. But even then she will not go away. No, the cries will have to come from the MSM sucking echo-chamber to get Napolitano to go. I think she’s here to stay. Which is bad for the USA & all Americans who use planes & trains.
cfbleachers – Two great posts.
“What it doesn’t explain, is how 80% of the country allowed our culture to be swarmed by the pervasive effects of this in every corner where we disseminate our information and form our opinions and get our facts.”
The explanation is simple… prosperity creates fat and lazy American citizens while at the same time creating drooling, slobbering, tax lusting socialists. So it is easy to see who is more motivated.
Blovis – Why don’t you go blo someone else because we aren’t buying what you’re selling. Same goes for you mr.
As the Socialists rule with unfettered power the storm is brewing. The only possible outcome at this point is a lot of dead, fat, lazy American citizens. When there are enough dead, fat,lazy Americans the motivation will change and not until then.
Why don’t you go blo someone else because we aren’t buying what you’re selling.
If you had half a brain and a set of descended testicles, you’d argue your point rather than come back with such a weak response. You are literally screaming that you can’t refute my points.
The perp getting a visa is not Napalitano’s fault; it’s Hillary Clinton’s fault. Visa applications go to the State Department. Embassies and consulates are part of the State Department.
mr.
“1-blame the bush administration for giving him visa”
Okay. Now blame the Obama administration for NOT putting him on the no-fly list…..and ignoring the warnings from his dad.
“2-blame the dutch for boarding a passenger that is traveling from Amsterdam to Detroit with no luggage.”
Okay. Now blame the Obama administration for NOT putting him on the no-fly list…..and ignoring the warnings from his dad.
I have a question for you mr.:
Why this terrorist attack, now? Why not last year while Bush was still in office? Come on, simple question.
I mean, either they WANTED to attack while Bush was still in office but DIDN’T due to the security measures in place then (meaning that the measures have since been relaxed) OR…..they DIDN’T want to attack…until now.
Which is it?

the comment was more a joke on the media for not applying the same standard to this lame potus …I will not even say what he and Larry Sinclair consumated.
but your understanding of international travel seems quite limited. No one gets on a plane that is heading to the USA without the host country meeting the USA regulations.
this means that this is a breakdown for homeland security, unless you are a liberal/socialist/marxist in which case you never need to take responsiblity.
Firing is just playing musical chairs. Beefing up the “security system” is just pissing into the wind. The issue is establishing credible deterrence, a psychological process, not improving static defense. I suggest going on the strategic offense. Continue normal security, when a plane goes down from an unlawful act of war, execute a definitive, immediate, horrific counter measure–eg, fire bomb Damascus. A kill ratio of hundred thousand sympathetic enablers to one hundred plane passengers should get the attention of even the most hardened terrorist commander. If they still have a problem with cost benefit analysis, there are more cities in those rogue states so the process should be self limiting. It worked in World War Two. It worked in Carthage during the second Punic War, only the technology has changed.
Blovis – “Great judgement, great leadership. It remains to be seen if Obama can reach the levels of incompetence that Bush did. But first year for first year, its no contest. Bush is the hands all winner of poor leadership.”
I simply choose to ignore your circular reasoning and logical fallacies. Bush, Bush, Bush… wahh wahh wahh! Bush, Bush, Bush… see the circle forming.
It remains to be seen? Pull your head out of your arse. You obviously don’t understand anything about the corrupt liars, cheats and cons in both political parties.
Barack Obama and his band of liberal, socialist, marxist criminals are not only the worst possible thing to happen to our Republic but in fact have no experiential or intellectual point of reference for improving anything, anything American!
It remains to be seen… good luck with that one! We’re laughing with you not at you… really!
The only consolation in this is that Director of Homeland Security is not a real job anyway. It’s just a change in reporting relationships for several agencies that otherwise know what they’re doing. I’m quite sure Napolitano spends her days in meetings pretending to be in charge and trying to get a clue from people who actually have one. She can mildly impair the functioning of operational agencies by wasting their time, but is probably otherwise fairly harmless. True, she is a witless incompetent and should certainly be fired just to preserve appearances, but her actual presence (or anybody else’s) in that position likely makes very little difference. I’m not sure whether I have cheered myself up with this insight or not.
Blovis and mr – If you think the American people are going to buy your load of shite about this being George W. Bush’s fault (since he created DHS)you obviously underestimate the great awakening that is taking place among hard working taxpayers.
I know as well as anyone that politics is a blood sport and if you repeat your lie long enough, it will often gain momentum, but if this is all you’ve got you’re in big, big trouble.
So, as I suggested before, you might as well take your mental illness somewhere else since the folks here at Pajamas Media aren’t buying your talking points. Bush, Bush, Bush! Wahh, Wahh, Wahh! Bush, Bush, Bush…wahhhhh!
# 9 Francis Porretto:
Exactly. Those who insist on Obama’s and his administration’s incompetence as an explanation for their multiple failures deflect the harsh truth to a less disturbing explanation: They just don’t get it, they are incompetent/inexperienced. They don’t want to see that what appears as “incompetence” is actually the result of a well thought-out ideology and scheme to undermine the political/economic/cultural structures of our country. In that scheme deliberate “incompetence” is simply a tool to subvert our institutions and values.
Napolitano has been fully consistent with Obama’s line–Islamic terrorism doesn’t exist. The real enemy are the conservative radical groups in the U.S. Obama has been fully consistent with his own ideology: Islamic terrorism is a figment of our imagination, or brought about by America’s evil deeds against the poor and the oppressed…
I am trying to figure out which character Napolitano reminds me of. She isn’t Aunt Bea. Could someone out there help me? All I can come up with is General Burkhalter’s sister Gertrude from “Hogan’s Heros”, but that still isn’t a great fit.
Joe Biden as Colonel Klink, now that’s a great fit.
but your understanding of international travel seems quite limited. No one gets on a plane that is heading to the USA without the host country meeting the USA regulations.
Its your understanding of writing that appears limited. My comment was an ironic list of the kinds of excuses that teabaggers would be giving right now–and indeed, did give about Brown’s failure–when Bush was President.
Goldie Locks to Papa Bear.
Goldie Locks to Papa Bear.
Come in Papa Bear.
Hey Blowhard (Blovis) – So you didn’t like the fact that I pulled the covers off of your tired charade?
It seems like your words were more of a self-fulfilling prophecy… “If you had half a brain and a set of descended testicles, you’d argue your point rather than come back with such a weak response. You are literally screaming that you can’t refute my points.”
Your train is leaving the station and as the saying goes… you’re either on the train, or you’re in front of it. Bush, Bush, Bush! Wahh, wahh, wahh! Bush, Bush, Bush!
Blovis, Both Bush and Obama, and Clinton, and BushI and Reagan, and Carter……Where would you like to stop? Now, what solutions are you offering other than insults? I suggest you su or offer some logical solutions.
I for one, suggest to Obama to nominate people to TSA and CBP in a more timely manner. I suggest Obama adopt a higher sense of urgency on these critical appointments and issues. I would seek consul regarding Napalitano as it appears she lacks some common sense….
I think that is fair criticism and constructive as well. Your turn.
And her little dog, Hillary, too.
Upgrade the scanning machines all you like – this guy didn’t walk onto the plane in the US.
don:
“The issue is establishing credible deterrence”
You’re genuinely frightening bozoid. What deterrence would have influenced this guy? He was prepared to die, and made the decision to attack all by himself. So bomb damascus if you want – you’ll just make sure another two or three generations think killing americans is the most justified act they can imagine (and that sort of thinking will probably extend well beyond muslims – multiplying your problems somewhat). But it’ll make you feel good – and that’s the main thing, right?
The US is 5% of the world’s population. Try to remember that. Times are changing.
I am flabbergasted that anyone in their right mind would attack Janet Napolitano for her actions as head of Homeland Security. Granted,
at Janet’s suggestion the word, terrorism, would no longer be used; replaced with “man made disasters”. On the other hand, though, compared to the other Obama department heads and advisors, Janet is not significantly worse than any of them. Take for example:

Now, what solutions are you offering other than insults? I suggest you su or offer some logical solutions.
The logical solution is to stop worrying about terrorism. OUt of all the way Americans can die abruptly through violent means, terrorism has to be the absolute most unlikely, right after getting accidentally decapitated in a Christmas tree chopping accident. To logical people with a grasp of proportion, the fact that the various anti-terrorism agencies, as obviously incompetent as they were under Bush and continue to be under Obama, have prevented all but the least likely and infrequent terror attempts should show that there is little to fear–either there are very few terrorists out there, or the agencies manage to prevent terror despite their inefficacy. The outcomes over the last eight years are obvious to almost anyone. We have much more to fear from the drunk driver down the street, the rapist waiting in the dark alley, or the hold up thug than we do about terrorism.
My point was that all of the criticisms being made so eagerly about Obama now, were equally and certainly more, given the greater amount of actual terror acts during his inept leadership, appropriate under Bush. Oh, but then you people didn’t care about this issue because it couldn’t score political points. You largely ignored the ineptitude of the TSA and Homeland Security, which was largely a name without an agency under Bush. When terror attacks happened they were someone else’s failure, and when they didn’t happen they were your team’s success. Like many Americans, I’m sick of you loudmouthed malcontents screaming at every mistake, real or imagined, that the current President makes, while you were mostly sleeping during the last decade of economic, domestic and foreign policy disasters. What I mean is STFU, already.
“Never touch the girl!”

____________________________________________________________
Are you sure you know what logic is? I don’t think you understand what a solution is either.
If you are sick of hearing about every mistake Obama makes you are in for a real treat for 3 more years because thats pretty much all he does, at least when he isn’t lying or paying back political bribes. Maybe you tell him to stop so your don’t have to hear them.
You also managed to throw out more insults. Your post was a total failure.
103, I believe you are correct about Alice, I hate everyone, Nolin.
I feel bad now. Janet would give Papa bear a bad name. Perhaps, the crazy Maj. in black from the Gestopo. Kkklliinnk!

Well, with the risk of offending some good people, what’s all this frettin’ an’ hollerin’ about?
“God damn’ America!” – wasn’t this the cri-de-guerre under which Obama marched more than twenty years building his hope-and-change, transformational political career?
The fact that Janet is a good illustration of Peter’s Principle of “achieving the highest limit of one’s incompetence” (appprox.), in her case her position in the national defence, is a small fact compared with the ACTIVE HOSTILITY TOWARDS THIS NATION harbored by Obama, Holder and their liberal associates – and illustrations of this we have aplenty -
God damn’ America – what do people expect from Obama, what kind of louts do people expect him to call in the office, what kind of people you think that can be around of this Kowtowing-in-chief?
We’re less than one year in dba Obama’s presidency, and we still do not know who he is – situation acquiesced by by more than half of country, who, on the other hand are wringing their hands (sic!) bemoaning the increasing misery and insecurity in which they live -
You voted for this – and it’s also you who cowardly turn your heads when normal people want to know more about dba Obama -

RE #70/TomMcA:

Tom, don’t take me as a troll ( I’m a card carrying Birther with proven credentials), but here you are a bit wrong.
It’s true, the Department of State is practically and physically ISSUING entry visas in the USA – however, when they do this, they do it based on the lists and recommendations of parties like the FBI – i.e. while what happened in Amsterdam is not public so far, it is quite probable that the process was following standard practices -
Bad enough, though – we’ll see -

mythbuster #102 — They will hate us no matter what we do; let them hate, so long as they fear. Let them fear that their precious Mecca will be vaporized because of our passing whim.
Mullahs are in the same sociopolitical position as the western church in the 1500′s — losing power and losing it fast, and it’s not coming back. Today’s pope is a figurehead. There’s no power there and hasn’t been for centuries. If the catholic church and the Vatican magically disppeared in the morning, not only there would be no power vacuum, but for that matter, most of the planet wouldn’t notice or care. I’m a westerner and I wouldn’t notice until CNN ran a special on it on a slow news day. And then I’d change channels to catch a rerun of “Criminal Minds.”
It’s not like this in the muslim world. Mullahs have power. All of the real and actual power. It’s the mullahs who preach increasingly fundamentalist twaddle that resonates with some of the populace. Just like here in the US most people are reasonable but there are always fundie crazies who insist the earth is 600 years old. Fundie messages will always resonate with some people no matter what religion they are. Mullahs preach jihad and takedown of the US as solution to problems (and secretly not admitting that the problem is their own increasing loss of power.)
It’s that subset who are listening to muslim fundie rubbish and buying it who are the problem.
So the problem isn’t the rank and file muslim any more than the rank and file christian is represented by jehovah’s witnesses or mormons or branch davidians.
Bombing Mecca or Damascus (or whatever) will do little more than cheese off the rank and file muslim. The rank and file muslim doesn’t hate the US. Look at Iran as an example: the young want to rid themselves of burqas and wear jeans and have female rights and iPods and drink coke. They aren’t your enemy. The dictatorial mullahs are who are running the place with their puppets like AhmedInADinnerJacket (sorry can’t spell his name.) The mullahs have been preaching like crazy for a long time, and western cultural WMD’s are still eroding their power. It doesn’t matter who the president of the US is — Washington, Bush, Obama, Donald Duck.
If you want to use your cans of whoop-ass up, direct it at the mullahs and only the mullahs. Leave the shopkeepers and pothole repair guys out of it. You have no fight with them, nor they you.
Re #100/Alice Nolin:
[...] I’m sick of you loudmouthed malcontents screaming at every mistake, real or imagined, that the current President makes, while you were mostly sleeping during the last decade of economic, domestic and foreign policy disasters. [...]
Alice, in what extent Bush and his crew screwed up in this matter is yet to be escatblished – but they deserve tons of credit for what they did because they INHERITED a truly awful situation from Bill Clinton (you, as a consumate Obamaton know a few things about this because this is Obama’s mmain trick from exiting any difficult situation… it’s Bush… it’s because Bush… it’s Bush…) -
Further, while Bush and Cheney might have blew it in one or another situation (and this is not that difficult in this type of circumstances), they were clear about their PURPOSES and objectives – safety and well-being of this nation and civilization -
And here you compare Bush and Cheney with someone like Obama who, besides loudly, publicly announcing his despise for America and equally publicly announcing that only atonement and reparations can redeem (if ever) this nation, is ACTIVELY, PUBLICLY AND OFFICIALLY UNDERMINING this country’s well being -
No one in sound mind can find in Obama’s foreign affairs initiatives any sign that he is acting for America’s interests – but if one reverses the deck, can easily see that all Obama’s actions are nothing but favoring one or another foreign force -
“allegedly” – my, the passion that Obama put in “the police acted stupidly!” is nowhere in this, or any other crisis that affects this nation –
And this is a crucial difference between Bush and Obama -
Re #106/Praetorian:
[...] “Any guesses on whom he might replace her with?”
Maybe Tom Ridge. As Secretary of Homeland Security under Bush the shoe bomber slipped right through. [...]
Preattie, I can assure you that it’s Kevin Jennings who will actually make an empowering transition from his “school safety” position to home security, since he has solid credentials as best skills when it comes to scooping in one’s underwear or asshole -
Experience rewarded – mobilizing, you’d say -
Red Hussein has absolutely no interest in his oath of office or any part of it.
And clearly, for America’s sake, Napolitano has to go.
The issue is what are you going to do about it.
I keep wondering at what point will the responsible citizens of this country stop posturing and face the fact that we have a committedly ANTI-AMERICAN administration in power — in every sense.
The sooner we all get comfortable with the fact staring us in the face, the sooner we can start thinking practically and productively about solutions that have a chance to work.
Really, it’s just a fact. Accept it. Get over the drama!
What are we going to DO ?
Phranc. If you seemed literate I would take your critique a little more seriously. If you have a response to my description of the lottery-level unlikelihood of being a victim of terrorism rather than a victim of someone in your neighborhood, then make it. Otherwise, you’re in no position to comment on the definition of logic. And now, you’re going to whine about being insulted on top of it. Utterly useless.
‘Matthew’: The US is 5% of the world’s population. Try to remember that. Times are changing.
Yes they are. Nasty little lefty sh*ts like you are being seen for what you are.
Janet Napolitano has been in office for ten months. If Napolitano stepped down –HOW WOULD THAT HELP? You think someone brand new would come in and wave a magic wand an fix everything in a day or two? HAH! Anyone who has ever tried to change anything done regarding the federal government knows that it takes MONTHS of work. Napolitano inherited the joke that was FEMA, came in as the FBI and CIA are trying to pick themselves up off the floor — and figure out how to talk to each other. She has been working very hard to update government computer systems so the average 15-year old can’t hack into them…and she’s done all this with NO head of TSA or other departments (possibly because of party politics being played by a good ole boy in So. Carolina). Was that her best press conference? No. Did anyone know then exactly what had failed in our detection procedures/systems? No. If she had known, would it have been smart to announce it to the world — and every terrorist in it? Maybe not. If Napolitano were a really handsome man, do we think we’d have heard half of the mean, stupid, nasty criticisms of her that we do? No, we would NOT. She is an incredibly smart woman — a true thinker (how rare!) and also has a great humanity. She is also a tireless worker — and believe me, Secty of Homeland Security is a THANKLESS job — no one notices you until there’s a hurricane or an “incident” — and then everyone wants to blame you. So — BACK OFF. This is one really, really good and smart woman – -and in 4 years, we will be very, very glad that she took the job — and didn’t walk away because of all the morons attacking her.
Dear “Moe”:
I have news for you: Abraham Lincoln was (as you so quaintly put it) at “two-bagger.” Given your logic, we should have — who? — Paris Hilton as Secty of Homeland Security? Or — how about one of the Jonas Brothers? Winston Churchill wasn’t exactly easy on the eye, you know…and while we’re at it, waht about that ridiculous cripple, FDR? How dare they have let HIM be president!!!
Janet Napolitano is a “two-bagger”? Have news for you: Abraham Lincoln was, too. Winston Churchill? Same. And how about that pathetic gimp, FDR? Who let the cripple into the White House! Yeah, you’re right — we should have made Paris HIlton the Secretary for Homeland Security. Easier on the eyes. Or Sarah Palin — I think maybe she should have figured out where Iraq is by now…of course, Yemen could take another year or two. But who cares with those nice LEGS!
MORONS. Napolitano should quit and let you guys have a secretary of Homeland Defense worthy of your idiocies– maybe Kim Kardashian?
Idiots, imbeciles, malcontents, high school dropouts…I see the insults, however, I don’t see a shred of intellect from the steaming pile of troll dung hurled by the apologist squadron, sent to carpet bomb epithets and rage spittled all over their computer screens.
Screaming “Chimpy Bushitler” isn’t the issue, he isn’t the answer to the question, he isn’t relevant to the discussion, he isn’t part of the solution, he isn’t germane to the topic.
With eyes bulging and flecks of spittle rocketing from your gums as the type “BUSH DID IT!!!!!!”, furiously pecking away, like mutant free range chickens, deranged from the imagined effects of DDT and global warming, these “bulge and spittle corps” cultists come racing to the defense of the cock of the walk, squawking, clucking, and screeching at the top of their lungs.
Arrested adolescence aside, not a grain of logic left on the ground, having been pecked to death by the mad hens of hysteria, we are left with the following screeds:
1) Obama ain’t to blame, BUSH DID IT! By now, a rather tired, trite, vacuous, and reflexive display by the Protest Cultists.
Responding to the bloviating birds is a rather futile endeavor, but let’s put this argument, at least, to the health care death squad panel, for final solution. The “sell by” date on this carton of rotten eggs has long since passed.
Nobody except a deranged cultist is still into believing, much less exhibiting said derangement in public, the very humiliating espousing of this drivel, out loud, mumbling like a bag lady… that “bush did it, bush did it”.
Bush had nothing to do with Van Jones, Mike Klonsky, Sam Graham-Felsen, Frank Marshall Davis, Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, the New Party, Michael Pfleger, Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said, Ali Abuminah,…and they all have the Protest Culture gene. This is important to the understanding of the “civil disobedience” bent of the worldview AND reaction to acts that others see as not “civil disobedience”, but rather…enemy combatant/guerilla warfare.
To suggest that Bush saw acts of Islamic radical terrorism as “civil disobedience” is laughable. To suggest that he saw it as a “police matter” to be handled in the criminal courts, is a cosmic joke.
The issue at hand, that the mad hens of hysteria seem not to be able to recognize through their blood red eyes,…is the issue today is about the appropriateness of the ATTITUDE toward acts of Islamic radical terrorism. Because the ATTITUDE toward it, sheds light on the inadequacy of the response to it.
Saying “nyah, nyah…Bush did this and Bush did that” works well for a four year old’s tantrum, but it avoids the seminal issue at hand. Is the Protest Culture’s unwillingness to view this as anything other than a fellow comrade in arms protest culture’s “acting out” against the “oppressor”…the response that the vast majority of VOTERS in this self-governed land of ours…in line with our expectations and desires.
2)The second hapless and feckless response goes something like this: “You are much more likely to be struck dead by a horde of stinging tse-tse flies than to be be murdered by a serial killer. Therefore, the police should spend more of their time chasing no-see-em’s than trying to track down a serial killer.
It’s vapid, yes. But, don’t you just love statistics?
What utter rubbish. Again, the mad hens of hysteria work themselves into a lather about poor “victims” at Guantanamo, the “victims” of our current health care system, the “victims” of global warming, …and yet ho hum ANOTHER attempt at mass murder by our sworn enemies, on our soil, against our countrymen.
If that isn’t the poster child for the Protest Culturist’s kneejerk reactions, …do you see it for what it is? It is so naked, so notorious, so delicious in its irony.
Global Warming “victims” (polar bears and ice caps)are a complete sham. Yet they still cling to their protest religion and stick to their guns even after the sham has been exposed. But, have a plotted mass murder unveiled at the hands of those who have DECLARED they intend to destroy us…people, countrymen…and all the tears for the polar bears seem to have gone dry.
Look, face it…they don’t like this country and they don’t like you. The mad hens of hysteria, the bulge and spittle corps, …they go on tour to apologize for your very existence. They bow deeply to other Protest Cultures and give OUR allies the back of their hands.
They don’t care if you are mass murdered, they don’t care if plots to mass murder you are being hatched as we speak. Quite frankly, it would speed up the work of the nationalized health care death panels. You can’t leave this country fast enough for their liking.
They aren’t here to protect you…or your rights. Silencing you would be just fine. It’s not just Bush they “inherited”…they “inherited” you as well. And they are going to “fix” that situation, just as fast as they can.
If they can get the legacy media in their pockets to “convert” you…fine. If they can get academia to use your children to “breed you out of existence” fine. If they can get Hollywood to “peer pressure” you into believing you are not cool, all the better.
But, if they have to nationalize health care to remove your “elective” health options and “allow you to die”…then, getting rid of you by attrition is just as good.
You “teabaggers” just don’t get it. If they strip you of your money through hidden and not so hidden taxes, if they spend your dollars on frivolous “global warming” wild hen chases, if they remove your ability to provide for your own health care…and replace your control with their death panel controls…they can “boil the frog” out of existence…one degree at a time.
So lay down, roll over, and let’s be done with it.
Or not.
Actually ALICE, a great many more Americans are tired of twits like yourself who endlessly make excuses for or ignore the ineptitude of Obama and his seven dwarfs. Keep man I on the polls. Your hero is becoming the amazing shrinking man. I know that it is emotionally necessary for you to dump on Bush, sort of like PMS, but the truth is that we were kept safe at home for eight years after 9/11 during his watch. The only question remaining is what will destroy the country first: his disasterous economic policies or his feckless national defense blunders Ps; time to consider HRT.
blovis@52:”The Bush administration was one of the most incompetent in fighting terrorism in the history of the US, from 9-11 to releasing Saudis from Guantanamo who have now gone on to lead the Yemen qaeda group now linked to this failed attempt…”
You are kidding, right? You don’t really want to get into the OBL/Clinton had him but refused to pull the trigger incidents, the eight major AQ attacks on the US under Clinton, the Gorelick wall of separation, etc, etc with us, do you? Bush depended upon the security apparatus that Clinton set up; he was told no attacks were immenent, and like an idiot he believed the Clinton administration. His fault for beleiving a liberal. Tell us, oh great omnipotent and omniscient one, what you have done prior to 911?
As to the releasing of prisoners Bush caved, again to his discredit, to the MSM and the howls of progressives in Congress. His assinine compassionate conservativism hurt himself and the nation. He was spineless. I am the last to defend that idiot, but against your baseless charges I will.
117. SFinSF:
Janet Napolitano has been in office for ten months. If Napolitano stepped down –HOW WOULD THAT HELP?
IT WOULD NOT HELP SINCE SHE/IT is just a front man of the administration. and a reflection of said administration.
with a more citizen aware administration it would be a gesture that her/it’s appointment was not a good fit and replacement would indicate a willingness to grow and improve.
but that obama and crowd of clowns are socialist/marxist/liberals I don’t expect anything good.

Let me put this as gently as I can.
As CF Bleachers said, you are witnessing the playing out of the protest
culture manual, Homeland Security for Idiots. And its companion publication: Government Running for Imbeciles.
Everything the government does is the (tip of the hat to George Costanza) opposite of what you or I would do.
The de-emphasis of missile defense (throwing Poland and the Czech Republic under the bus), canceling technological upgrades for
Homeland Security as well as national defense. Encouraging ACORN to steal the vote in Minnesota, making Franken the 60th vote.
Prosecuting members of the CIA who worked under Bush thereby lowering
the morale for all, and chilling the enthusiasm for stopping man made disasters. And don’t forget tattle tailing on remarks made by family, neighbors and friends that sound fishy by
reporting them to a government tip line. Not to mention putting us on the road to bankruptcy with one and a half trillion on
bailouts and boondoggles that have created 2,0000 new millionaires of Obama political supporters and about 87 new government jobs. And if you’re trying to make the country financially sound, spending money you don’t have
by printing more of it is idiotic It’s the opposite of what should
be done.
When I used to say that Obama is out to destroy the country, I don’t think I was quite as off target as some would accuse me of being.
In fact, I believe I was spot on.
This is an intentional objective of the Obama administration. His biggest error to date is thinking he could create enough government
dependent pukes to win him the 2012 election. He didn’t expect the enormity of the American public’s disgust for a disgracefully dangerously run
administration. Obama now sees it as a win/win scenario. If he gets reelected, he’s richer and the country becomes dirt poor. If Obama’s
not re-elected, Obama’s richer and to hell with the country. Obama moves to Europe.
This is the scum America elected.
Cap and trade; Stimulus; Bailouts; your medical insurance screwed up so premiums are sky high and taxes are even higher; homeland security run by incompetent idiot Obama supporters, a combination of Marxists, avowed Communists, labor union big shots, all Presidential advisers; progressive tools , most born of the protest culture, running this government. It’s like a passenger jet taking off with a seven year old co-pilot with no flying knowledge being given the controls. It’s gonna crash. People are gonna get killed.
How many realize that any terrorist group or country could lob a nuke on New York City these days and Obama would explain that not only aren’t we sure who fired it, but let’s be clear, we don’t want to start a nuclear war.
People, your ship of state, USA Airlines if you will, has a Harvard Law educated imbecile at the controls.
You think Homeland Security and Janet is the problem? She’s a problem, albeit a big one. But just one of many. The constitution
never allowed for the election of an educated, imbecile to be at the controls trying to crash the country. After eleven months, it should be obvious to all.
President Obama cannot be trusted with the United States of America. Maybe some federal judge in a place like Nebraska can issue
an order of protection ordering President Obama be stripped of his power, and not come within 3,000 miles of sovereign U.S. territory. To my way of thinking, the alternative is wholly unacceptable.
100. Alice Nolin: – your post contradicts itself horribly. You rant about how “terrorism has to be the absolute most unlikely” and then in the next paragraph you rant about “given the greater amount of actual terror acts during his inept leadership (Bush)”…..Make up your mind, because it sounds like you’re saying terrorism was worse under Bush. Tell the Dutch man who just saved hundreds of lives how “unlikely” terrorism is……And tell it to the families of (since October) 500+ murdered people in Pakistan. They don’t count?
If you note in my comment, I said: “Bush and Obama, and Clinton, and BushI and Reagan, and Carter……” ie take your pick. I blame them all.
It appears you are the political hack-job here, and lack any balance, but are not lacking in contradictions.
SFinSF,
Maybe you can explain just who the “you people” are, and then I can know whether you are including me in this self pronounced group of idiots. Still I can ask, after your diatribe, who you think you are? If I can help you with lining up your target, I think Sara Palin would do a better job even if she couldn’t learn to spell Yemen.
I disagree. Keeping her in the post reminds independents how weak Obama is. Let her stay and let him squirm.
RE #115/Alice Nolin: [...] If you have a response to my description of the lottery-level unlikelihood of being a victim of terrorism rather than a victim of someone in your neighborhood, then make it.[...]
“lottery-level unlikelihood”, my!
Fool, here’s a cost/ benefit analogy that illustrates your idiocy – you claim that it is not worth to keep firemen because it’s highly unlikely that a fire will strike the town.
Yeah, part of your scenario is correct – it is highly unlikely that the fire will hit the tow.
Yet, when it will (and this will happen), the price of not having firemen at ready will be much, much higher in money and misery than the expense of having around a station of paid firemen all the time.
AN, mental giant, then eat these: 3.000+ people dead, tens of billions in damages that had to be “absorbed” by the national economy, the simply unavoidable necessity to start a cleaning war in Iraq and a pre-emptive one in Afghanistan at enormous costs of hundred of billions of dollars and loss of life – situation which could have been well avoided by the Clinton administration -
Remember the Gorelick memo? Well, that’s the ghost that now gives marching orders to Obama, Eric Holder, and to you, collection of MoveOn.Org buffoons -
Samizdat #92, Janet Napolitano reminds me of the con man from Star Trek, Harry Mudd, who introduced the crew with the “Trouble with Tribbles.” His other cons did not do so well either.
I shudder to think this meek pant-suited shopping mom is responsible for us, almost as much as hussien the deciever himself
fire her and him NOW; terrorists must be laughing their smelly asses off
democrat LIES, it is unbeleivable really
maybe Holder will take this job – the terrorist’s lawyer will open the doors wider then give them a lawyer to swamp the system
OBAMA we hate you as you lie – YOU are the dangerous one
this is the time when the west MUST be strong
instead we have muslim apologists
we are toast if we dont fight for our freedoms – the world wants us down and so does the president, my goodness
maybe obama can have interpol help us
spend my money, trash my constitution, call me a teabagger, sure, but dont bother showing your birth certificate – ok YOU TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As to the releasing of prisoners Bush caved, again to his discredit, to the MSM and the howls of progressives in Congress. His assinine compassionate conservativism hurt himself and the nation.
Utter bs, but useful in demonstrating the level of interest you people have in these issues. Its never the fault of YOUR leaders, there is always an excuse. There were legions of obviously innocent guantanamo prisoners–one recently released was less than fourteen years old when captured, the Uighurs never attacked the US. Bush’s release of those prisoners was exactly incompetence–letting out the murderers while sentencing the shoplifters to life. Your protests make it obvious what you’re really about.

There are no contradictions. It seems obvious from the words I chose to use–your neighborhood, etcetera–that I’m speaking of domestic acts of terror in the US. Let the world handle its own terror issues. Unless you also want to worry about their poverty, environment and wage issues–suddenly we’re a world government on this one issue. As I said, your entire movement is based on blame without substance and without reason or thought. Simpletons being foamed into a lather, apes to be prodded into a frenzy to distract the children at the zoo.
Misanthropicus: Fool, here’s a cost/ benefit analogy that illustrates your idiocy – you claim that it is not worth to keep firemen because it’s highly unlikely that a fire will strike the town.
I’ve rarely seen a more stupid analogy. Fires are likely, they happen on a monthly basis in most towns. The statistical likelihood of an act of terrorism and fire are in different universes. Look at this:
There have been precisely three attempts over the last eight years to commit acts of terrorism aboard commercial aircraft. All of them clownishly inept and easily thwarted by the passengers. How many tens of thousands of flights have been incident free?….Over the past decade, according to BTS, there have been 99,320,309 commercial airline departures that either originated or landed within the United States. Dividing by six, we get one terrorist incident per 16,553,385 departures.
These departures flew a collective 69,415,786,000 miles. That means there has been one terrorist incident per 11,569,297,667 mles flown. This distance is equivalent to 1,459,664 trips around the diameter of the Earth, 24,218 round trips to the Moon, or two round trips to Neptune.
Assuming an average airborne speed of 425 miles per hour, these airplanes were aloft for a total of 163,331,261 hours. Therefore, there has been one terrorist incident per 27,221,877 hours airborne. This can also be expressed as one incident per 1,134,245 days airborne, or one incident per 3,105 years airborne.
There were a total of 674 passengers, not counting crew or the terrorists themselves, on the flights on which these incidents occurred. By contrast, there have been 7,015,630,000 passenger enplanements over the past decade. Therefore, the odds of being on given departure which is the subject of a terrorist incident have been 1 in 10,408,947 over the past decade. By contrast, the odds of being struck by lightning in a given year are about 1 in 500,000. This means that you could board 20 flights per year and still be less likely to be the subject of an attempted terrorist attack than to be struck by lightning.
Indeed, I’ve never argued that there shouldn’t be an organization in place to handle airport security. It follows that agency will be as incompetent as any other, but that the low risk from actual terror attacks will mute that reality. The most vital role of those organizations–from the perspective of pacifying pant-wetting ignoramuses like you so that they don’t refer to their ignorant narrative and vote people out of office based on paranoid fantasies–is to give you a sense of security. Everything that occurs within the discourse of the government and media right now, should be viewed from that perspective/
#85: this is a more compelling reason that you like the rest of them are simpleton. the terrorist waited a year until Bush was out of the office and then attacked us!!! let’s get real.
Phranc #104 how are you doing? the solution is not to woory about terorism? remmeber that is what Bush did and 3000 of our people died. no let’s worry about it. the best place to start is right here in America.
Here is what I recommend:
an ammenment to the constitution that everyone needs to finish high school or else they do not have a right to vote or speak up. this would cover just about everone hrer on this site. what do you think?
“The System Worked.” It is not enough to fire Janet Incompetano; we also need to know who issued that talking point.
If you replay her statement, it is easily discernible that “the system worked” was a talking point. Who issued it?
Re #135/Alice Nolin: [...] It follows that agency will be as incompetent as any other, but that the low risk from actual terror attacks will mute that reality. [...]
1) AN, mental giant, you again secrete hogwash.
I often have to drive by a Rite-Aid in LA which despite the armed guards has been hit several times this year (hold-ups and muggings).
A difficult situation, and it’s likely that the next hit will happen and can happen anytime – since this situation is also unpredictable, the LAPD has as a last resort, has placed a decoy/ intimidation squad car by the store, ten or so hours they move it around, then leave it there, day and night.
This is a pre-emptive safety expense that probably works in a certain degree – and so do the airport safety rules.
You count in your silly stats only the terrorist who were apprehended, which is the tip of the iceberg – but you ignore the terrorists whose intentions and plans were discouraged or disabled –
2) [...] so that they don’t refer to their ignorant narrative and vote people out of office based on paranoid fantasies–is to give you a sense of security. [...]
Now you come to your Obamaton paranoia, and yes, it is quite justified – eat my narrative now:
a) Obama and his bums WILL never have a second term, one crappy term is enough for this nation -
b) it is also quite likely that Obama, while he might formally finish his inglorious presidential term, after that will face a big problem of his having been an illegitimate president -
Electoral fraud, baby, electoral fraud -
“Bernie, this is Barry Obama – guys, you will share the cell from now on, you’ll figure out who’s gonna sleep in the upper bed – I’m sure you’ll have a lot to talk about what you were doing on the street -”
Bonk! the cell door closes! Hehehehe!
Life is beutiful, dolt – hehehehe!
Misanthropicus. I wonder what you see when you read the words I write. I don’t actually support Obama, nor is there anywhere in my commentary that suggests I do. The best thing that could happen is if he only gets one term. I only wish the same had been true for Bush, but you idiots made sure that didn’t happen, just as you will make sure that the person succeeding any President will always be an incompetent lacky, servicing the ignorance-derived paranoia of cul-de-sac loons, worrying incessantly about all of the people who want to take away their flat-screen televisions. The rest of your inane post–”you’re wrong, as my anecdotal story about a drug store proves!” are hardly worth addressing.
I remember the feeling of utter despair and fear when BO announced mean-faced clipped haired lesbian Napolitano as Sec of DHS. Weak, indecisive and certainly not qualified. My fears were not unfounded.
Shame on any republican senator who voted for this train wreck. Also, people in South Carolina should not forget Sen Grahamnesty`s vote to confirm Justice Dodomayor. She will come back to haunt the American landscape.

Perfectly illustrative of the teabag mind. This person obviously knows nothing about Napolitano. His first concern is her appearance, gender and sexuality, and then the baseless assertions he makes about her personality based on his bigotry and chauvenism. Hurray for stupidity.

Alice Nolan… “As I said, your entire movement is based on blame without substance and without reason or thought. Simpletons being foamed into a lather, apes to be prodded into a frenzy to distract the children at the zoo.”
The Protest Culture sees everyone and everything as a “Movement” needing to be whipped up in to a frenzy. If her statement is not the epitome of the Protest Culture that you so deftly described then I don’t know what is. Her comment “distract the children at the zoo” is especially telling. WOW!
Hey Alice – You better take that Obama/Biden (Kerry/Edwards too!) bumper sticker off your Prius because our “movement” is watching you right now. Kidding of course, that would be a play out of your “movement” (bowel or otherwise) handbook. Just for the record Alice, we don’t need a movement. Look up the definition for “principle(s)” and that’s where you’ll find us.

The next time the likes of Alice Nolin call you a teabagger, call Janet N. a “two bagger.” ‘Cause if you were drunk enough to go to bed with her, you’d need two bags. One to put over her head and another to put over yours in case hers fell off.

Heh-heh-heh-
Why fire Napolitano and not Obama? He’s responsible for her having that position. And Obama’s guilty of blatant negligence for not calling terrorism what it is.
IMPEACH OBAMA NOW; HIS FLAGRANT DISRESPECT FOR HIS OATH OF OFFICE IS TREASON.</b.
Alice Nolin:
You are plain stupid/illogical–and amoral, the worst combination possible.
You compare dying from an accident–which, I suppose, is statistically higher than dying from a criminal act–with dying because of the willful, deliberate actions of a criminal?
On your amoral “reasoning” our entire justice system and our entire social order would be turned upside down. Criminal acts would be morally equivalent to acts of God/nature, ergo there would be no criminal acts. Don’t worry, you say, about being killed in the course of a robbery, or, on the law enforcement end, don’t bother to prevent it. You are more likely to die from a heart attack or a piece of ice falling on your head…
Sinister.
Besides, your smug, constant appeals to your own “literacy” versus your critics’ come across as a cover for your cognitive uncertainty.
The next time the likes of Alice Nolin call you a teabagger, call Janet N. a “two bagger.” ‘Cause if you were drunk enough to go to bed with her, you’d need two bags. One to put over her head and another to put over yours in case hers fell off.

Mean? You’ve got to be kidding. If that’s your idea of mean, the kid down the street would have you crying home to your mommy in two minutes. To top it off, who told you I give a rat’s a$$ about Napolitano? Make as many stupid sexist jokes about her as you like, makes no difference to me. If that’s your thing, you little tea-bagging, pant-wetting re-re.
Cristina:
Don’t worry, you say, about being killed in the course of a robbery, or, on the law enforcement end, don’t bother to prevent it. You are more likely to die from a heart attack or a piece of ice falling on your head…
No, you said that. I said that you are statistically more likely… about 100,000 times more likely…to be hit by lightning than to be a victim of a terrorist attack. However, your chances of being murdered are much more akin to real world physics, at 1 in 133:
Americans generally have one chance in 133 of being murdered over their lifetimes, according to the Government’s first study of the risk of violent crime.
The study by the Bureau of Justice Statistics also concluded that about six million Americans, roughly 3 percent of those over 12, would become a victim of robbery, rape or other assault in a given year.
http://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/06/us/around-the-nation-odds-of-being-murdered-are-1-in-133-study-says.html
Apparently, you can’t understand the difference between a relatively rare [black people have a 1 in 21 chance of being murdered] but very real concern and a statistical unlikelihood such as terrorism in the US. As I noted, even if you flew five hundred times a year, you’d still be more likely be hit by lightning than a terror attack. Your biggest problem is your disconnect from the real world, and your inability to contextualize reality and keep your fears in proportion to your likelihood. This problem is the literal engine of the current flow of the Republican party, but your hair on fire cowardice and hysteria make most people uncomfortable.
Alice Nolin, who laughably believes herself to be so intellectually superior to the rest of us, apparently doesn’t realize Detroit is an American city. That’s rather understandable, since after many decades of enlightened Democratic rule, it now resembles Berlin in 1945, but really, dear. Do try to pay attention when the social studies teacher gives a lesson in geography.
Alice clearly was sleeping off a hangover the day the teacher explained the U.S. political system. That’s why Alice thinks only people who agree with her should be allowed to vote. Or maybe Bomber Billy Ayers taught her civics class.
Or there could be another explanation for poor addled Alice: “One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small,…,” Yeah, I’ve heard those damn acid flashbacks can be really nasty.
But do post some more, Alice! I’m late to the thread but I’m finding your foaming-at-the-mouth rage and utter belief in your own superiority to be one of the most hilarious things I’ve read at PJM in a while.
In fact, I’m going to toss a bit of red meat to the rabid she-wolf: Not only can we all vote, we are going to toss your crew out like used Kleenex come November 2010. Heh.
Donna: What I find most amazing is that you could write three paragraphs and never identify a point of disagreement with anything I’ve written.
Alice,
Golly, your comments are really making waves. And you didn’t even mention your support for slaughtering the unborn at an Obama rate that
exceeds Hitler’s butchery of the Jews. Over 1.3 million unborn babies murdered every year.
That certainly should get under people’s skin.
Alice my dear, you also forgot how your buddies in the White House pal around with domestic terrorists; how
your buddy, Van Jones, the self proclaimed Obama friend and Communist, heaps praise on a Stalinist regime that tortured and liquidated 70 million innocent people in a thirty year killing spree who they believed didn’t have the mental acuity to vote.
Another friend of yours, Anita Dunn, the former White House communications director, calls the mass murderer, Mousy Dung, of China her “spiritual leader.” Alice, honey, your high regard for Anita suggests a lack of critical thinking on your part. If you were Obama and not some lowlife psychofant apparently in heat and on her knees ready to open your pie hole for him, would you have fired Anita?
Incidentally, Obama had no alternative but to can her, the trollette who claimed Fox is no news station. This girl is certifiably a perfect candidate for the witless protection program. Something you and she appear to have in common.
But back to the subject at hand. No wonder you’ve got people riled up.
You defend the brown eyed handsome man, the anointed one, who’s accumulated over 20,000,000 Frequent Liar miles in under 12 months of sissy ineptitude and intentional misfeasance. Plus, you gloss over his gross bowing and apologizing act when meeting tyrants around the world like it never happened. Doesn’t that anti-American Obama act distress you, even in the least little bit?
So, Missy, I trust you’re finally getting the point. And, my little chickadee, add to all that, this:
Obama pledged openness on CNN and no earmarks and sub 8% unemployment and loads of other stuff that set his proverbial pants on fire. One can come to no other conclusion that President Obama is truly a creep. Some might even say, a disgrace to his race. A rhyme without any reason. Try a mass murderer in New York City Obama says. Put a girl who says Hispanic women are superior in every way to white males on the Supreme Court. Lady, the man you voted for to sit in the oval office is summa cum treasonous. He even sat on his general’s request for more troops till defeat is likely to be snatched from the jaws of victory. Obama’s a total loser.
Being, as you claim, so cognizant of facts and the truth and imagined intelligence, it must be really difficult for you to defend this high minded fluff ball of a conniver in chief. This Harvard Law affirmative action experiment gone horribly wrong.
It must be like an attorney charged with defending a living Lee Harvey Oswald. Like the hapless Bears trying to defend their goal line when it’s 1st and goal from the one yard line. Do you have any idea what you’re trying to do? You’re trying to defend a man with the morality of a child molester. With the common sense of a Creedmoor Psychiatric Center patient.
However, you did manage to cause a stir.
With the help of reams of intellectual dishonesty, perversion of reality and a certain amount of suspected psychotic logic, you’ve got a bunch of patriotic Americans mad enough to answer your mindless musings in print and proceed to wipe the floor with you using two weapons not at your disposal: logic and facts.
To seriously think you can intellectually keep up with the people in here, girl, you must be cotton picking out of your mind. Now I’m not saying for sure you’re nuts; just that in here you’re way out of your league. Grab some bench, girlfriend, you just struck out.
Rachel. Illiteracy is not the stigma it used to be. I don’t claim anywhere to be a supporter of Obama. This my team versus your team bs is boring, and hardly worth responding to. Democrats are dumb, so are independents. But they certainly aren’t as dumb as the imbeciles who’ve taken over the Republican party. Really, a stupidity so great that a majority of Americans, with a wide range of conflicting viewpoints united simply to make sure that you idiots didn’t get another four years with which to destroy America. The polls are clear, they would have voted for anyone but a Republican.
Alice:
“I said that you are statistically more likely… about 100,000 times more likely…to be hit by lightning than to be a victim of a terrorist attack.”
Has it occurred to you that, perhaps, the reason WHY we are statistically very unlikely to be a victim of a terrorist attack is PRECISELY BECAUSE we take it seriously?
Just out of curiosity: If you believe terrorism is essentially a non-issue, AND you are not a supporter of Obama then…….why are you here?
Do you always get foaming-at-the-mouth angry over ALL ‘non-issues’ involving people you don’t support? Please let us know what issues you DO consider very important involving people you DO support – I’d love to see some of your comments in THOSE threads…….
Margaret Thatcher said “If you are a lady and have to tell people you are, then you are not.”
Likewise; If you are president of the United States and have to tell people “I won”, then you really are not.
‘Alice’ is a man, who used to write under the blog name of Moho. He uses other names as well. His trademark signature is to call everyone stupid and ignorant – when, interestingly, these are his own attributes.
He’s called himself a ‘non-practicing Muslim’ (??); yet knows nothing about Islam. Or about any other religion or ideology. He gets his opinions from the internet, doesn’t critically examine them…and just posts his continuous insults here.
I suspect he’s lonely, retired from a non-job, uneducated. And cranky all the time. Not much else to him.

Therefore, the odds of being on given departure which is the subject of a terrorist incident have been 1 in 10,408,947 over the past decade. By contrast, the odds of being struck by lightning in a given year are about 1 in 500,000. This means that you could board 20 flights per year and still be less likely to be the subject of an attempted terrorist attack than to be struck by lightning.”
Interesting thought process you’ve employed.
First, I notice that you included total number of emplanements over the last DECADE. Hmmmm….didn’t 9/11 occur in the last decade? Why yes, I think it did. Why not add that number to your calcs?
Lessee…..2973 dead (not counting terrorist) + 674 passengers you’ve noted = 3647 potential dead. Now, if you figure the 7 billion (and change) enplanements over the past decade, that works out to 1 in 1,923,671.
Golly gee Alice….YOU’RE RIGHT!!! Why, that’s STILL way under the odds of being hit by lighting (assuming odds of 1:500,000). Why heck fire, terrorists would have to kill (or attempt anyway) at LEAST another 10,000 folks just to be as relevant as lightning!!!
I see your point now Alice – nicely argued. I’m on your side now – I say we completely get rid of all those pesky PITA security measures (they don’t really work anyway, right?) until terrorists manage to run the score up at least 14,000 dead………
What do I care, I don’t fly anyway…..
Has it occurred to you that, perhaps, the reason WHY we are statistically very unlikely to be a victim of a terrorist attack is PRECISELY BECAUSE we take it seriously?
Yes, it did occur to me. But, unfortunately, unlike you, I am a prisoner of logic. I can’t say one thing and then say another and think they are consistent. You people are really blessed in that regard. What I mean, is how could that be, when this entire article and almost every comment here, says that we don’t take it seriously enough? Nothing has changed in our agencies, they have always been incompetent–its something you people didn’t care about until noting it could give you political benefits. So yeah, I did consider it, and then rejected it because it was asinine.

Except that it took the Obama Admin 8 mos to appoint a TSB leader, and we still do not have a CBP leader appointed. Regardless, it’s amazingly inconsistent thinking on your part to rant about how “incompetent” our agencies are whiline you also rant about how unlikely it is we really even need them as terrorism is, statistically speaking, not a problem.
You really stink at this. I suggest you find some other avenue to occupy your time.

“…they have always been incompetent–its something you people didn’t care about until noting it could give you political benefits.”
I suppose one could make the same charge regarding the aftermath of Katrina…..
For the record, I think all the bloviating regarding the latest revelations about airline security kinda misses the point. Even if we could make the airlines 100% secure from terrorists attempts, we’ve still got problems (to put it lightly) regarding border security. Point being, one can’t control (manage? address?) terrorism by simply playing defense. Neither can one simply stick their head in the sand and pretend (by playing with statistics) that the problem isn’t real.

My god you’re stupid. Do me a favor and look up the word consistency. You’ll probably have to look up the word inconsistent after that, given the level of intelligence you’re demonstrating. To note that the incidence of an event is low, while also noting that the agency tasked with monitoring it is incompetent is only inconsistent to a buffoon.
Oh god, I just noticed this part:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/12/29/demint-defends-blocking-appointment-of-tsa-chief/
Elected officials on Capitol Hill are planning to hold hearings in January to investigate the safety gaps in airline security, made more pronounced since the attempted bombing over Detroit on Christmas Day.
But one important officeholder, the administrator of the Transportation Security Administration, likely won’t be present at any of the hearings – simply because his nomination is being blocked in the Senate.
Sen. Jim DeMint, R-South Carolina, has been holding up the confirmation of Erroll Southers to be TSA chief, in an effort to prevent TSA employees from joining a labor union. Southers is a former FBI special agent and counterterrorism expert.
Alice’ is a man, who used to write under the blog name of Moho. He uses other names as well. His trademark signature is to call everyone stupid and ignorant – when, interestingly, these are his own attributes.
Yeah, I think Alice and moho are one and the same too. After moho let it slip that he was raised Muslim, he stopped posting under that name in threads related to Muslim terrorism. He’s dumber than a stick of gum, but bright enough to realize he was seen as having credibility issues on that particular topic.
So he trotted out his little sockpuppet, “Alice.” I imagine it’s the special name he uses for himself when he puts on frilly underwear and drools over his collection of Chavez and Che photos.
He’s dumber than a stick of gum, but bright enough to realize he was seen as having credibility issues on that particular topic.
Ha, ha, yes, Muslims have no credibility when discussing Islam. Unless of course, they are the two Muslim Iraqi bloggers who helped found this site, Omar and Mohammed Fadhil. I hope they haven’t let it slip that they are Muslims too, or this whole site will be delegitimized.

Its difficult to mock you better than you do yourself, Donna. But I’ll try.
homeland security chief must go!!!!! now!!!!
Hmmm, I haven’t read “Iraq the Model” in quite a while, but I do remember this comment about them on Tim Blair’s blog in 2004:
Great line from Iraq the Model’s Omar, currently in Washington with his brother Mohammed:
“Yesterday I came to your country. Today, I met the President. ”
Jeff Jarvis, a tireless and incredibly generous promoter of Middle Eastern bloggers, has more on the Bush/blogger summit:
Mohammed said the President understood what blogs are and their importance and they found the staff in the White House views reading blogs as part of their jobs now. The brothers said they were in the White House not just as Iraqi citizens but as representatives of the blogosphere.
moho aka Alice, you really are dumber than dirt. Do you think the “Iraq the Model” bloggers hated Bush, or opposed the liberation of their country? Here, let me help you out, cupcake: take a look at their blogroll. There are an awful lot of links to the “neocon” bloggers you hate so much.
Let me give you a clue, cookie. Muslim bloggers who make excuses for terrorists or who think Muslim terrorists are nothing to be concerned about are not credible. Omar and Mohammad do not fit into that category. In fact, I’m positive they were quite concerned about Islamic terrorists setting off car bombs in Baghdad. They surely feared being targeted for being pro-American. ‘Cause Islamic terrorists sure don’t have any qualms about killing their fellow Muslims. Do you think the panty bomber was the only Muslim on a plane headed to Detroit?
moho, once again you beclown yourself.
f Barack Obama wants to convince America he takes the “protect and defend” portion of his oath of office seriously, it’s well past time for….”
The problem is, he has never taken that “portion of his oath of office seriously”, and to all appearances is in no hurry to “protect and defend” anyone or anything American. As long as he remains in the White House, we may consider our nation “betrayed”.
Donna:
I’ll remind you of what I wrote, you idiot, even though its still visible in the screen frame before me:
“After moho let it slip that he was raised Muslim, he stopped posting under that name in threads related to Muslim terrorism. He’s dumber than a stick of gum, but bright enough to realize he was seen as having credibility issues on that particular topic.”
You were quite clear here, you were stating being raised Muslim gives you credibility when posting on the subject of “Muslim terrorism”. If now that you’ve been shown to be a bigot, and an incredibly stupid one for posting that on a site which was co-founded by Muslims, you want to change your answer so that being “pro-Bush” gives some Muslims credibility on the issue [my god, that's the stupidest rejoinder I've ever witnessed], go for it. Its quite obvious that on top of being borderline retarded, you have no shame and no dignity, and that you’re right at home here.
moho you used two pro-American Iraqi bloggers who met with President Bush to make your point and you call me stupid?
Nobody here has any problems with Muslims like Omar and Mohammad. (And if all Muslims were like them, this issue wouldn’t exist.) You’re the moral cretin who would have preferred that they remain slaves to the Hussein regime. You’re the one who has more of a problem with waterboarding than you did with Saddam’s thugs feeding people feet first into woodchippers. Your whining about bigotry is absurd. I don’t think you give a damn how many people die, Muslim or non-Muslim, as long as it hurts America. That’s your priority.
Now, I’m off to enjoy a quiet and pleasant New Year’s dinner with friends. I leave you to stew and fume in your own hatred and ignorance.
A happy New Years to all non-troll PJM commenters!

RE: Hysterical aka Alice Nolin:
Guys, I think you’re a making a tactical mistake – Hysterical (aka Alice Nolin) is an Obamatroll, and nothing else, and his objective here is strictly to deflect the growing criticiam and disapproval regarding Hussein Obama’s incompetence -
Hysterical has no curiosity for the subjects in which he engages you – what’s essential for him is to move the focus from Hussein Obama to anything else -
The Obamatons are diversionists and their main dread is to get caught in a head-in-head discusson about Obama, because it’s a catch 22 for them – the more they defend him the more they damage him –
The best test for this (and it worked with me) is to keep the discussion with Hysterical focused on Obama’s incompetence – after trying a few times to drag you in other subjects Hysterical gives up –
The Obamatons are in a high alert now because dba Obama is badly slipping – and that’s why Hysterical is here -
Still, Hysterical – keep on truckin’ – amuse us -
moho you used two pro-American Iraqi bloggers who met with President Bush to make your point and you call me stupid?
Oh. my. god. You quite clearly stated that being RAISED MUSLIM PERIOD, disqualified one from commenting. I can see why you want to distance yourself now from such an asinine and bigoted comment by adding all kinds of things that weren’t discussed in our postings in any way. But the fact that remains that this is what you said:
“After moho let it slip that he was raised Muslim, he stopped posting under that name in threads related to Muslim terrorism. He’s dumber than a stick of gum, but bright enough to realize he was seen as having credibility issues on that particular topic.”
You didn’t qualify it by saying that it was cool if they were “pro-American”–which apparently means that you HAD TO SUPPORT THE IRAQ WAR [MY GOD] whatever that means in your warped addled mind. Apparently, any Muslim who didn’t support the Iraq war–including Iraqi muslims, who no matter what they felt about Hussein, may not have taken kindly to having their country taken over by force, and then screwed over by an incompetent government that can’t even govern itself–can’t comment, according to you, on anything having to do with Islamic terrorism.
That comment is so self-evidently stupid that you’ve actually caused damage to the innate spirit of brotherhood that most humans feel to their fellow man. Seriously, the actual existence of someone like you making a comment like that makes one almost long for the days when people with debilitating cognitive dysfunction could be legally kept away from the people they would inadvertently hurt with their shambling, blind unfettered idiocy. This really takes the cake. In a sea of stupidity called Pajamas Media, you’ve really put your fellow cretins to shame. Bravo.

As for moho; well, my, what a pleasant New Year’s Eve he had! While I was enjoying being with good friends, he was, as I guessed, sitting alone composing hysterical, venomous rants. Nothing wrong with not having plans on New Year’s and being online, but very pathetic to spend the waning hours of the year spewing bile and hatred.
Poor boy. I mean, really,that’s truly sad.
Why should she go from Obama’s point of view ? She just needs to say the same thing in a more underhanded “Obama-like” slimy way. With her nose elevated and snapping her fingers as she mounts the podium.
Southers first described the episode in his October affidavit, telling the Senate panel that two decades ago he asked a San Diego Police Department employee to access confidential criminal records about the boyfriend. Southers said he had been censured by superiors at the FBI. He described the incident as isolated and expressed regrets about it.
The committee approved his nomination Nov. 19. One day later, Southers wrote to Lieberman and Collins saying his first account was incorrect. After reviewing documents, he wrote, he recalled that he had twice conducted the database searches himself, downloaded confidential law enforcement records about his wife’s boyfriend and passed information on to the police department employee, the letter said.
Yeah, really pertinent. I was going to offer you a shovel, but I think you’re doing fine all by yourself.

Well, for the record my last comment was at 7:16. When in doubt, change the subject, its the Teabagger way. Write all the lies you like; you’re the one who must look at that twisted visage in the mirror, you little ignorant bigot.
No matter where you look in this administration you will see that all concerned are the very worst at whatever they are supposed to be doing. Hardly any real experience or leadership and incompetence as I have never seem assembled into one administration. Soon the Carter Administration will seems to be a great one in comparison to this assembly of Ted Mack Amateur Hour Entrants
Yep this administration is certainly making history alright. Just as I have always said no experiment is a total failure as even what seems a total failure can be used as a bad example and this administration is certainly a bad example on many fronts.
Next time you vote or (not) at least become familiar with the issues and the actual past of the individuals before you vote just to make history. Vote instead to save the country.

8 months is 8 months……Nominate, appoint, tomayto, tomoto…..you’re really becoming pathetic……
Regarding Souther, two decades ago yes, but he mislead a few weeks ago….two decades does not negate a misleading statement to Congress a short time ago now does it? Obviously it was bad judgement two decades ago, and bad judgment to mislead Congress a few weeks ago……..maybe it’s going from pathetic to tragic…..

“Dem recruits continue to head for exits/By Aaron Blake – 12/31/09 10:55 AM ET -
Democrats have lost yet another touted recruit, this time in Kansas.
State Sen. Laura Kelly (D) just announced her withdrawal from the race to face Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-Kan.). She becomes the fifth formidable recruit to bow out in recent weeks.
“I have been forced to make a decision between honoring the pledge I made to the people in my Senate district and my firm conviction that the people of the 2nd congressional district deserve a truly independent voice in Congress,” Kelly said in a statement.
“This has been a very hard decision, but it is the right one.”
Kelly joins several recent dropouts, including businessman Jack McDonald, a well-funded challenger to Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) who announced last week that he wouldn’t run. The others are Ohio state Rep. Todd Book, who was running against Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio); former Tennessee Commerce and Insurance Commissioner Paula Flowers, who was running for Rep. Zach Wamp’s (R-Tenn.) seat; and Solana Beach City Councilman Dave Roberts, who was running against Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-Calif.).
Both McDonald and Kelly were cited in a late October memo from DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen (Md.) that touted the committee’s recruiting successes.
On top of that, Democrats have lost four incumbents in vulnerable districts to retirement recently. It has been a distinct shift, taking five seats off the map on offense and adding four on defense.”
