The phrase is Martin Peretz‘s, and it’s just right for the president’s scandalously inadequate response to what he called “the Christmas-day incident,” i.e., the near incineration of 289 people by an al-Qaeda-trained Nigerian Muslim who stuffed explosives into his underwear before boarding an airplane bound for Detroit. He failed to keep his early appoint with Allah, though, partly because of his own mechanical incompetence, partly because he was pounced upon by a few private citizens whose instinct of self-preservation had not been completely impaired. Had the would-be bomber been just a tad brighter, had his fellow passengers been a tad more sheeplike, then Northwest Flight 253 would have exploded in flames as it came in for a landing over Motor City.
Will we always be so lucky? Take your time . . . (Arresting detail: Richard Reid, the so-called “shoe bomber” had about 50 grams of the explosive Pentaerythritol tetranitrate; our fellow had about 80 grams of the stuff.)
That failed detonation led to a successful one in the wordy purlieus of the blogosphere, into which I dipped an occasional toe over the mostly blog-free Christmas holidays. There were a lot of good lines. I especially liked the blogger — now, alas, forgotten — who spoke of the round-the-clock “security theater” we would all henceforth be subjected to.
“Security theater”? It was new to me. But I instantly grasped what he meant. Wikipedia was on the case before the unnamed genius pressed “Post”: “Security Theater”: “security countermeasures intended to provide the feeling of improved security while doing little or nothing to actually improve security.” (Wikipedia credits Bruce Schneier, but that’s not where I read it.)
I’ll come back to “security theater” in a moment. For the moment, let me stay with Mr. Peretz, who was on a roll in this column. He was right that “the skivvies terrorist” (good, what?) laid bare not only the colossal intelligence failure that allowed that pathetic terrorist wannabe onto the plane in the first place (even the chap’s father, for Allah’s sake, had warned the CIA in November that his son had drunk the Muslim kool-aid and was dangerous). Equally alarming, Mr. Peretz pointed out, the episode laid bare President Obama’s total failure to grasp the reality of the evil that threatens the country he is supposed to be leading. He just doesn’t get it.
Predictably, Obama went through the three stages of accommodation. First, he told us he was “monitoring” the situation from his vacation on Hawaii. (His “Homeland Security” Director, Janet Napolitano, was similarly reassuring: there was “no indication,” she said, that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, he of the explosive stuffed undies, was part of a terrorist network.
Janet, Janet: what Hawaii of the mind do you inhabit? Umar Mubo Jumbo was on zillions of watch lists. What do you do all day as “director of homeland security”? (“Oh, but she eventually admitted there was a terrorist connection.” You don’t say?)
Where was I? Oh yes: eventually the leader of the formerly free world issued the bulletin that the attempted bombing was the action of “an isolated extremist” — a notion Claudia Rosett, with her usual percipience, instantly put paid to. “Extremist,” yes; “isolated”? If only.
Finally, on January 2, the President discovered what everybody not actually being paid to protect us had known all along: that the skivvies bomber was an al-Qaeda operative.
Islam is bad.
A respondent, quoted below, demolished Peretz’s argument:
dhurtado “… Obama used the word “terrorist” or “terrorism” at least 5 times in the remarks he made on December 28 in which he also used the term “isolated extremist.” He also made reference in the December 28 remarks to finding and holding accountable others who were involved in the incident, thus belying any inference that he believed Abdulmutallab was acting alone. Peretz’ argument is a canard.”
And now…
“Back when he was capitulating to the dwarfish tyrant that rules North Korea, President Obama said….”
Is that the dwarfish tyrant whom Bush took off the terrorist list?
How soon the right forgets its capitulations!
Roger,
Surely the answer is contained in your last paragraph? But as a start maybe the US should point a few ICBMs at Mecca and the other sacred sites of Islam, letting it be known that at the next sign of any trouble from militant muslims, the ICBMs will be used to wreak well-deserved destruction, with due warning given so that civilians can evacuate.
One thing that worked in the years before Obama, was war. It is the one thing that a war-like people respect.
How many terrorist attacks on U.S. soil when Bush, a man who brought two wars, was president?
Bring war to Yemen, and to any other country that harbors Muslim terrorists.
Good piece, except for the fact that Obama understands perfectly well who the enemy is. He just doesn’t think he’s an enemy. He believes it is we who are on the wrong side. We need to get over the idea that Obama and his people are naive. They aren’t. We are naive for thinking they are.
“If only Stalin knew….”
Regarding the ridiculous security lines through which we must all go through—the screening points at our nearby international airport cause back-ups of hundreds of people into the large central hall of the airport terminal. All too soon the Muslim terrorists will abandon trying to bring down airplanes in favor of bringing down entire airports. One need only look to the Fort Hood massacre as a dress rehearsal. So many deaths were accomplished with a semi-automatic weapon in the hands of a Jihadist in an assembly area crowded with people.
Then, and only then, will we get security checkpoints several layers deep like that done by the Israelis.
He does understand the nature of the enemy,he’s part of it ! Get that through your thick head’s
Must we confront crude, ruthless, brutal, merciless REALITY? Isn’t there another way, something softer, gentler, more…um…nuanced? Isn’t there a more complex answer? Can’t we have a more complex question for goodness’ sake? Something to soothe our anxieties.
We need people who can articulate the values that made America a beacon of freedom and a bastion of prosperity. We need people who recognize and are willing to criticize ideologies whose success would destroy those freedoms and that prosperity.
Yes, we do. The founders were less interested in security than they were in personal freedoms, that’s why they ignited a war for self-determination rather than live without agency under the security-obsessed British government. That’s why they created judicial restraint, even though it meant that some people might get away with murder or other grave crimes. That’s why they set up protections such as Habeas Corpus, which run the risk that the guilty will escape prosecution. That’s why they instituted freedom of religion in the first place, so that angry bigots could not use crisis and events to curtail the liberties of all, for the actions of others. We do need people to constantly articulate these values, as our history shows, through the Japanese internment, through the McCarthy era, we’ve always needed them, to protect us from political sewer dwellers lke Kimabll, always rising to take advantage of fear. Yes, we do need someone to articulate those values. So kindly please shut up and step aside so that someone can.
When will you people face reality? Is it not obvious that the triumph of Islam is inevitable?
Every day, more Muslims enter this country. Every day, more Muslim babies are born while you kill your children in unholy abortion mills.
Every day more mosques are built while your churches are converted into mosques, fall into disrepair, or are used as public latrines.
You must cease oppressing Muslims. You must cease insulting Allah (swt) and His Prophet (saw). You must cease warring against Allah (swt) and fighting the spread of Islam.
You must discard your man-made laws and systems of government and implement Allah’s (swt) Law (Sharia).
Time grows short. Renounce your false religions now. Embrace Islam and live in peace in submission to the will of Almighty Allah (swt).
Your grandchildren will be Muslim.
Allahu akbar!
Like all Socialists he lives in a different world then normal people. A world where Che’ isn’t a cold blooded psychopathic killer. Son of Sam with a Spanish accent. A world where the Government gets money for free. Where there is no hate and everybody loves everybody. Where Doctors spend decades learning their trade and then work long hours for peanuts.
A world I call the 4th world.
It certainly isn’t the world where people set elementary schools on fire, then use automatic weapons on the children fleeing that fire. A world where somebody straps on a bomb and blows up a Pizza joint. Where a man flies an airliner with passengers into a skyscraper. No that sort of thing happens in the real world, NOT the 4th world.
You will never get real world solutions from a 4th worlder. 4th worlders won’t even admit that the real world is real. Try to talk to a 4th worlder about Mad Dog Mullahs building nuclear weapons to use on them and they accuse you of trying to scare them. Welcome to planet Clueless. Please keep your hands in sight and co-operate with the officer.
“Security Theater”: “security countermeasures intended to provide the feeling of improved security while doing little or nothing to actually improve security.”
It seems like such is the limit of the average TSA bureaucrat’s imagination.
President Obama’s total failure to grasp the reality of the evil that threatens the country he is supposed to be leading. He just doesn’t get it.
He doesn’t want to get it. It conflicts with his view of Himself as “calmer of rising tides (human and non human) healer of the planet and all things odious.”
Nor does he want to get that Iran is thumbing its nose at us. After so many other deadlines on Iran in the past 5 or 6 years, Obama’s own personal deadline expired on December 31. Notice any difference ? While Iran itself just told Obama’a would-be emissary, Joe Biden, to stay the hell home, & that they had nothing to negotiate with the Great Satan.
Well, I certainly feel safer now. How about you?
Way, way unsafe.
That means standing up for our vision of the world. We do not require leaders who traipse around the world apologizing for America’s supposed sins.
That’s an understatement.
While Iran itself just told Obama’a would-be emissary, Joe Biden…
Correction, it was John Kerry.
Iran denies entry to Sen. Kerry
“The president does not understand the nature of the enemy we face..?”
For God’s sake man the president is the enemy we face. The only ones that don’t understand his nature are the hug and kiss the world away liberals that elected him.
For certain, the radical Islamic terrorists understand that as their foe he is fatally flawed.
We really need to be culturally understanding, sensitive, and tolerant in these troubled times. We should be appreciative and supportive of our fair minded moslem brothers.
It is to this end that I propose the establishment of exclusive(would not want us infidels dirting the place now would we) prayer rooms on all flights.
These special reinforced blast proof ( gotta’ protect these poor people of a peaceful religion from us infidels) rooms are just the place moslems could gather in peaceful repose, sticking their heads between their legs upon their prayer rugs and intimately pray to their as$.. er allah that one of their own moslem brothers had the forsight to pack some explosive.
Then they could all get 72 virgins as they were ejected in an outward explosion that caused no infidels to be dispersed with their remains, thus contaminating them with our unworthy filth.
Surely we could do this in respect for them.
Funnel all incoming flights to the US through ‘feeder’ airports for inspection before allowing them to proceed. From the far east, use perhaps American Samoa or Midway. At one time, it had a pretty big airport. From Europe, contract with a nation who will allow American inspectors discretion to examine US bound flights. Maybe Iceland or Greenland would be interested. Otherwise, build an airport in the Florida Keys somewhere as the inspection hub. American inspectors should clear all aircraft of all nations before they are allowed to fly over the CONUS. No exceptions.
Scenario of the near future.
Five Somalian members of Al Queda’s Al Shahab
Brigade fly to Brazil where they pose as black Brazilians. From Brazil they travel effortlessly across Central America by bus or plane to..say attend a Brazil vs. Mexico soccer match. Brazilians dont speak Spanish..and no one talks much to these guys wearing Viva Brazil sports regalia. Once in Mexico they proceed to the border. Following 20 million other illegals they walk into the USA. Once here they meet their contacts from
the muslim community. The same community thats been sending suicide bombers to Somalia. After picking up their suicide vests they put on their football team fan regalia and enter the football stadium. Superbowl, Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl…whereever the security is weak.
Taking their seats around the stadium they wait till the national anthem finishes. On the last note they stand in and detonate themselves. The blast waves and shrapnel kill 1000 people. And prove that the mightest country in the world..is defenseless. NOW..if I can think that up in 5 minutes..how much better can a real terrorist do especially faced with Janet Incompetano as a nemesis.
Moho..you have every reason to fear people like me. Because in the America of the future when real war is forced upon us..you will be the first to be locked up “for the duration plus 6 months”. But cheer up. Prison will be the best place for you, its that or the anger of the American people, which at street level can be pretty ugly.
“Yes, we do. The founders were less interested in security than they were in personal freedoms…”
Your understanding of American history leaves much to be desired. Our legal and political system has always distinguished between common criminals and enemy combatants. Progressive Democrat Woodrow Wilson even went so far as to deny citizens their First Amendment rights during WWI. Abraham Lincoln denied the right of Habeas Corpus to Copperheads. A number of American citizens returned from Nazi Germany to sabotage targets within the continental United States. Franklin D. Roosevelt had them tried in a military tribunal—and most of them were found guilty and almost immediately hanged. Even the issues surrounding the internment of Japanese-American citizens are more murky and ambiguous then you seem to realize. Your added example of Joe McCarthy is not relevant. His misdeeds never involved a wartime situation.
Partial tongue-in-cheek: One draconian measure to separate Moslems from non-moslems is to have each passenger step on a Koran. Today, many Christians, Jews and atheists might take the step with enthusiasm. Moslems would rather submit to full body check than commit sacrilege. A milder litmus test would be sniffer dogs – Moslems consider dogs unclean, and would presumably prefer defer to other thorough searches. Punishing “moderate Moslems”? Islam has demonstrated itself to be an extreme religion, and moderation is usually a temporary accomodation to the Dhimmi majority.
Islam has always had an element that believes force to be the appropriate means to convert the “infidel”. Consider that Asia Minor and North Africa, which had many communities where Christianity was in the majority into the 7th century, experienced the sword of Islam which wiped out Christianity in its entirety in those areas. In fact Islam crossed over into Spain, only to be repulsed there by Charlemagne. It is specious for the President to speak of Islam as a peace loving religion. The President is either badly informed or, worse, he is lying.
Amen, and pass the ammuniton.
Moho..you have every reason to fear people like me. Because in the America of the future when real war is forced upon us..you will be the first to be locked up “for the duration plus 6 months”. But cheer up. Prison will be the best place for you, its that or the anger of the American people, which at street level can be pretty ugly.
Ehunter:
Were it to come to pass, and you were anything better than a a knight-stick fellating lackey of whatever local tribal leader you’ve given supreme power over your person, it still wouldn’t scare me. You’re the people who like to boast of your pant-staining cowardice. Given the fantastic level of fear that you and yours apparently live under, I could no doubt part a sea of you cowering teabaggers by simply by glaring in your direction and saying allah u akbar. Its a toss up of whether you’d become tumescent or crap your pants first—perhaps you’d do both at once.
You can’t have it both ways you little sissie. You can’t boast of how tough you are while simultaneously crying to mommy every time something scary happens. Given that almost all teabagging males are motivated by a shortage in the underwear department, its only a matter of time before you realize that your current bosom clutching hysteria will only accentuate your shortcomings, not detract from them. Now run along and service your top, ehunter, before he becomes annoyed with you. And for god’s sake, clean yourself up.
David Thompson. Your understanding of English leaves much to be desired. As you yourself posted, I was speaking of the founders vision. I don’t know what you sought to prove by promoting my idea that pant-crapping cowards like you had surrendered their freedoms to the government since then in the hopes that they will be kept safe. Read it again, and get back to me. I’ll try to forget your last stupid post.
Zeke,
Whoa, Zeke, you are using a redneck name. Don’t go to redneck country and try that. You will need 32 new teeth, if you wake up.
Zeke writes:

Zeke, honey, it does not matter how many time Obamass uses other terms. If he refers to the Muslim terrorist as an “isolated extremist” then we know that he is on their side. As the Christmas Bomber said, he was supported by Al Qaeda, which has produced many others like him, but then the Obamass administration gave him a lawyer and shut him up. Zeke, sweetie, we are at war with radical Islam. Which side are you on? The best that can be said about Obamass is that he does not know which side he is on.
moho and psuedo American hadji, don’t get it because they aren’t American. i believe McCarthy was proven right. you want to use all the wrongs America has done to hide your treasonous agenda, spoken like a true muslim, always the victim never the perp
How stupid can you people be!!
Barack was the name of the horse that Mohamed rode when he ascended into heaven. Barack is the carrier, the bringer of islam. Chimpy the Kenyan is the champion of islam and it is his job to do what he can to ensure that all other interests in the US are overcome.
They guy on the Detroit plane is insignificant. The Kenyan wants to be sure that the defenses of the US are weakened so that the next wave of i9slamic terrorists are not stopped. There will be a major attack right before the election in 2010 so that he will be able to declare emergency conditions. Many of us will be put in camps, opposition to the Kenyan will be stifled and all criticism of the Kenyan will be forbidden and punished.
11. NUTS!
What is the matter with you people? Apparently our former president didn’t understand the risk either, hello, 9/11 happened on his watch, richard reed, the bush administration released many of the would be terrorists to yemen.
What planet do you live on?
Islam will wither on the vine when Islamic regimes are isolated from trade with free nations, not a moment sooner. This would also require us to suspend trade with other totalitarian regimes like China…it would hurt for a while but the U.S. is perfectly capable of providing for itself if it were relieved of the crushing taxes and regulations our government places upon the economy.
It’s either that or take a page from Ann Coulter…bomb their cities, kill their leaders, and convert everyone to Christianity. I’m good with either, preferably both.
Our Ostrich-in-chief is not capable of recognizing the danger, and too preoccupied with metarmophosing America into a nation of sheeps to advice seriously. The denial about the militant core of Islam still looks water-tight among a dangerous fraction of our putative leaders, but the citizenry has started to wake up.
The common error of assuming that all muslims have peaceful intentions is not the exclusive product of ignorance alone. Cowardice also plays a big part. Some of it is just unresolved infantile naivete, but some of it is also cultivated by political correctness, which tends to selectively muzzle our “educated” youth because campuses is where the stuff comes full-strength.
The election of BHO was the expression of a collective wish to take a vacation from reality. Let’s hope we learn before one of the six-dozen virgin seekers educates us the hard way. We were lucky in Detroit, but who says that the next guy will not cock his detonator right?
since “those pacific people who call themselves Muslim” are, give or take, 98% of Islam, imo “war on terror” would get the job done with the fewest unintended consequences, now and in the unforeseeable future.
(note to Moho: kindly stfu — kthx.)
Obama and the Islamo-Africans are being molded in the same public sphere that the American/Drug Dealing/Gangsta/ popular archetype was. It is the very same trash minded machismo exploitation being directed by PR departments and media tycoons who want nothing more then to put on a “relevant” show for idiots who want to be entertained instead of fight..That is their investments. I guess the idiots end up feeling pandered to…Makes ‘em feel special I guess, like they’re the ones not in the zoo cages…This Obama crap is just expanding on that platform because the American culture supposedly gave it, it’s “good housekeeping seal of approval” in the 90′s for some insane reason and it was supposedly embraced by the “family”…”ma-fia!”. Then they drove a truck through it just like they did through the legal loophole that desegregation provided. They just kept reassuring the ones who smelt it for the doo-doo it was, “Don’t Worry..It’s all good” …And like idiots, those ones with the good noses, either bought it or were too intimidated to do anything about it…You want to take over another persons property, Warfare 101 says “do it from the inside”, …Take her out for a drink, get her in bed, and it’s by bye hubby of the last 10 years…Once yer inside of her…The gods work wonders right? Tiger man…They’re just going to play one gang off the other when the whole lot of them are scumbags….But by doing that they can ape the good cop/bad cop strategy…Except it’s crooks were talking about here…And it’s like finding the “good” ants as opposed to the “bad” ones in the same dirty, nasty anthill… The fact that Somalia avoided the Axis of Evil nom de plume only to elect a son of a prominent Kenyan says it all…
Everybody’s getting on the bandwagon.
Judith Miller, for example, in an article riddled with misinformation, weighs in at:
http://www.city-journal.org/2010/eon0104jm.html
In it, she states that, according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), “…citizens of 14 nations—including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Cuba, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Somalia, Algeria, Lebanon, Iran, Sudan, and Afghanistan—who are flying to the United States will be subjected to intense screening at airports. In theory, there is nothing wrong with taking a long, hard look at citizens from countries that are on America’s list of state sponsors of terrorism or are considered, as one Administration official put it, “countries of interest.”
That is incorrect. What the TRA says is that ANY citizen, including US citizens, com ing from those countries, will be subject to increased screening. You can verify this at:
http://www.tsa.gov/press/happenings/010310_statement.shtm
This inconsistency between the reported facts and the facts themselves is important for several reasons. One of these is that it shows how pitifully inept our efforts are to fight this problem.
EVEN THE TSA HAS IT WRONG. A Yemeni citizen, for example, could take a 2 hour flight to any of the Gulf states……Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Bahrain and so on which are NOT on the “list” and buy a ticket to the USA from there.
Since he is not “boarding” in a “country of interest”, presumably he will not be subject to intense screening. A Saudi citizen can simply drive across to Bahrain and do the same thing.
Many of these “non-listed” countries now have direct, non-stop flights to the USA, especially into NYC. In fact, UNITED, a US carrier, now has a flight out of Bahrain thru Kuwait into NYC. Neither Bahrain nor Kuwait is on the “list”, so presumably……well, I’ll let you finish.
And so on.
———> All this can be avoided by simply denying an entry visa into the USA to any citizen from any Moslem country. Airlines selling tickets to the USA routinely inspect the passports and visas of persons buying tickets to the USA and if they don’t have the proper paperwork, a ticket isn’t sold.
I’ve long advocated this route just as I’ve long advocated prohibiting Moslem citizens from attending US institutions of higher education.
After all, where do you think Iranians (and Chinese) were trained and educated in the latest nuclear technology? In Yemen? In Hungary?
Were these 2 simple steps taken, 90% of the air travel crisis would
come to a crashing halt.
JOhn from Cincinnatii believe McCarthy was proven right.
LOL>Yes, that’s exactly the problem.

I have trouble believing that you saying that works in any part of your life, either material or digital. As in this current case, it most likely provokes derisive laughter, because–here as in the physical world–you’re in no position to back up your request, little man.
Comments like #30 are most amusing and there are many exactly like it all over the media and internet daily. The moonbats, who hate G W Bush the most, now use the fact that Bush did something wrong during his term as a reason why Obama should do the same thing. Curious but very funny. And lordy are they dumb!
James, who authored comment # 6, HOW RIGHT YOU ARE!!! I heartily agree, and will copy your statement here. It couldn’t have better been stated:
Good piece, except for the fact that Obama understands perfectly well who the enemy is. He just doesn’t think he’s an enemy. He believes it is we who are on the wrong side. We need to get over the idea that Obama and his people are naive. They aren’t. We are naive for thinking they are.
“If only Stalin knew….””
Uh, Moho, it’s “night stick,” not “knight stick.” Except in prison, where either one is available. As you will no doubt discover one day.
You are not the first enemy who has confused our reluctance to take action with our determination to finish the job forever once we do.
And I’m sure you won’t be the last to learn that lesson the hard way. It won’t happen under the current president, certainly, but he’ll be gone in a couple of years and you will then get another whole slant on what our Founders believed.
Patience, dear boy. Patience.
#30 “What is the matter with you people? Apparently our former president didn’t understand the risk either, hello, 9/11 happened on his watch, richard reed, the bush administration released many of the would be terrorists to yemen.
What planet do you live on?”
The libruls have an odd way of “thinking”. They hated Bush and mercilessly beat him over the head for everything he did or failed to do. Yet, now, as evidenced by passer by, and passer by is certainly not alone, they justify Obama’s actions by equating them with the mistakes Bush made.
Here is the syllogism:
Obama released many “would be terrorists” to Yemen.
Bush wrongly released many “would be terrorists” to Yemen.
Ergo, Obama is right to release “would be terrorists” to Yemen.
Jennifer Rubin, ‘ Commentary- Contentions’ quotes a White House official: “he is “struggling to find the right tone,”
Not, “he’s struggling to prevent further incidents”, but, “he is struggling to find the right tone.” Just as the President struggled to find the “right tone” following the Fort Hood attack. I’m sure that if another attack occurs somewhere in the U.S. the President may have found “the right tone” but it will all be staged. I’m sure he will be dripping with compassion, and dreadfully sorry about the isolated individual who committed this “man-caused disaster.”
24. You know nothing of Americans. You mistake anger for fear. Push us too far, and we will implement the Nagasaki Final Solution to Islam.
Wake up America, PLEASE, before it’s too late !
“Do you know why?” I asked. “Because of the Arabs,” I said. A handsome, NPR-New York Times-type women was passing by and, horrified by what she had just heard, exclaimed “Don’t tell him that! Don’t tell him that!”
What nerve! Probably some Jew liberal. Any real American would have joined you in a chorus of “Arabs out!” (Sounds better in German, but what the hell.)
James:Uh, Moho, it’s “night stick,” not “knight stick.” Except in prison, where either one is available. As you will no doubt discover one day.
You are not the first enemy who has confused our reluctance to take action with our determination to finish the job forever once we do.

What a positively hilarious display of cowardly pantie-pissing fear. Don’t tell me you’re so frightened of your own shadow to such a degree that you would ask the nanny state to arrest me just so you could poke your little head out the door. Sorry, my friend, I’ve done nothing illegal. Free speech may frighten you to the point of weeping, but its something most proud Americans love and tolerate for its own sake.
Lastly, there is absolutely nothing you would ever have to do with the defense of this country. In a jack booted future you are apparently jerking off to, you would be hiding in your bedroom under the covers.

I’ve lived in America my whole life. Funny that, because I’m American. And what I know about Americans is that in every conflict or crisis, there have been useless outlying idiots jerking off to the idea of nuking someone, somewhere not because its a solution to anything, but simply because they have such small penises, that such symbolism is the only thing that can make them feel adequate enough to get through ever day.
My personal belief is that eventually, people like you finally see through the gauze that they have laden around their life in the hopes of obscuring the utter uselessness of their mediocre talents and uneventful lives, and go on to walk into malls, halls of justice, museums and McDonalds in a last vain attempt at achieving some kind of relevance by killing their fellow Americans. You people are the literal factory for tomorrow’s American suicide killers.
iYou mistake anger for fear./i
You mistake anger for a seriousness. Be angry somewhere else while the adults control their emotions and see things for what they are, not what they want to be to vent their pent up frustrations.
shmoho wins the award for most words, least content. Is anyone actually surprised that all he thinks about is fellatio and masturbation?
35. Whistle Blower: “All this can be avoided by simply denying an entry visa into the USA to any citizen from any Moslem country.”
Even simpler is to find some tame Iman who will asert publicly that all airline travel is haraam; then the Moslems won’t want to travel. After all, it is true that the air within every aeroplane is full of the scents of alcohol and food over which Allah’s name was not pronounced, and airline travel always involves being in the proximity of forbidden women and hearing idolatrous prayers and the like. Furthermore, everyone knows that all aircraft are manufactured using copious amounts of bacon fat and other haraam products.
The President is not supposed to discuss airport security in detail, just as he is not supposed to teach the country how to cough – he’s supposed to have people to do the job for him – and to do it well, very well.
He’s The Manager, after all.
You guys dont get it. There is a difference between what Obama says and what he knows. He knows a lot more than what he says. He doesnt sensationalize security breaches.
If someone burglarizes your home, you can say that, but would you advertise ALL the details of the breach, like how it was done and how much was stolen?
Republicans love to blast the breaches because they want Americans to be SCARED and overreact to the news so you waste your money in guns, medications and other superfluous things.
Gary Rosenishmoho wins the award for most words, least content./i
Those words must look intimidating to the illiterate. And dont point the finger at me. Theres so much symbolic fellatio and masturbation going on here that its impossible to avoid commenting about it.
LOL@Vivo…
Republicans love to blast the breaches because they want Americans to be SCARED and overreact to the news so you waste your money in guns, medications and other superfluous things.
Funny, because Democrats want people to be scared and overreact to the news so that you allow them to orchestrate illegal takeovers of pensions, healthcare, and finance (all while restricting your right to bear arms). All necessary of course in the glorious aim of rendering their constituents poor, hopelessly dependent, and unable to defend themselves.
Ah yes, the typical bashing of Second Amendment rights and the eeeeevil pharmaceutical companies. Because as we all know, we can trust our government to defend us and prevent crime…especially when theyre the ones perpetrating it. No needs for guns here, your government will provide crappy health care and soothing platitudes after your unarmed ass has been assaulted and robbed in your own home.
And its just common sense that medications (produced only through the immoral pursuit of profit) provide nothing of value. Really, we should just roll over and die at age 50, the way nature intended. Definitely an effective way to address the insolvency of Social Security and Medicare. They get to tax you for it without ever having to pay out! Brilliant!
Bravo, sir. Remind me which district in Michigan you represent?
Moho, you were raised in America, and still you know nothing about Americans.

ROT IN HELL YOU EVIL B4ST4RD. You will too! You will join your false prophet and get your just rewards. I would sooner die than submit to a simpleton such as you or any of your leaders. The America of my history books had courage and was willing to sacrifice (all of us not just the fighting men) If it has come to the point where we roll over to the scum of the Earth than clearly our Creator has lifted his hand of blessing from us and it is his will that will be done. If not then I implore God to continue to Bless America.
“If someone burglarizes your home, you can say that, but would you advertise ALL the details of the breach, like how it was done and how much was stolen?”
Doesn’t matter. It’s public information because it appears in a police report. In Fly-over America, those reports are published in the local paper. I’ll bet you didn’t know that. 4th worlders such as yourself are often unaware of what happens in the real world.
MuleHO. Your comments here point out one thing and one thing only. Youre a IDIOT times two. Tell us which prison you learned your magic Islam faith as you sound exactly the type of troll who gained their insight into this disgusting cultism, and accordingly I bet my last dollar that you cannot even read Arabic, let alone speak it, but you sure act as though a real Muslim of Islam heritage would give two cents about you. Boy, they still use people like you as slaves and call you dogs. Say what you will, but the learned know better and yet you still fell into the trap. All I can say is good luck with that. haha
P.S. Now back to your prison dorm.
Military tribunals, executed and buried with the remnants of slaughtered pigs did wonders in the past against this ilk.
#8 Will: hits the nail on the head. This administration is in on the attacks because they think they can declare martial law after the next big attack. But after the Ft. Hood fiasco he may have to enforce it with Pentagon staff alone.
If the nation – and the west – were united in their resolve to fight these primitives, political islam would merely be a matter of concern, not a matter of anxiety.
That political islam is an exitential threat to the most powerful nation on earth, and to the citizens of the richest, freest, most advanced and most decent portion of humanity bespeaks terrible failure of resolve. It is that failure, not a lack of potential, that may still defeat us.
It is the reaction to the Somali pirates, writ large.
Sad indeed.
Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
