Assume the position TSA.............from Rico
Iowahawk is a bleeding GENIUS!!!
This brilliant modern rendition of the venerable Gadsden "Don't Tread On Me" flag is courtesy of him.
It's about time the TSA were the ones that "assumed the position"...and until they do, well "....and the horse they rode in on!"
- I've cancelled my Thanksgivng, Christmas, and New Year's flights. It's not just the airlines that won't be gettng any o my money, but neither will the hotels, restaurants, car rental agencies, etc.
The work-release TSA sexual molesters can play with themselves all hey want, but they will NOT 'play' with me.
OPERATION IVORY COAST
To this day, the Son Tay Raid is a little known event, and what it truly represents is even less understood.
This is remarkable, given the incredible significance of what is known amongst professionals as the definitive Special Forces direct action mission . . .

Why Sarah Palin Shouldn't Run — Or Why She Should
Mona Charen spoke at the Jewish Policy Forum panel in Los Angeles, along with David Horowitz. Michael Medved began the talk with a discussion of electoral politics, and at some point the panelists got to talkin' about their favorites for the 2012 presidential race. Ms. Charen endorsed Mitchell Daniels (not my favorite, for reasons some might recall). And that's interesting, since we find that Ms. Charen's not hip to a Sarah Palin presidential bid. See, "Why Sarah Palin Shouldn't Run" (at Memeorandum). And this passage is worth consideration:
She is wildly popular with a swath of the Republican electorate, it's true. And, as a conservative woman politician told me, the consultants (who get paid the big bucks win or lose) will doubtless descend upon her with game plans showing how she can win in Iowa and then cruise to the nomination. Maybe. But the general election would be a problem, since 53 percent of independent voters view Palin unfavorably, according to a recent Gallup poll, along with 81 percent of Democrats.
RTWT.
Fair enough. But my sense, beyond this, is that Ms. Charen is looking at presidential politics a bit clinically. Extreme emotionalism devolved to a form of secular worship in 2008 and the election of "The One." Ms Charen's right to note the dangers of it forming on the right heading into 2012. But skimming over this a bit more, Ms. Charen yearns for a conservative politics almost entirely divorced from popular culture. I doubt we're ever going back to a time of Reagan, much less Goldwater. But check the comments at the post (Townhall has a well organized comments section). If the sentiment there gives any indication, the GOP nomination is Palin's for the taking. And why not? Sarah Palin is a force of nature. She embodies all the best of the American spirit, and her family emobodies all the best of the American citizen. We don't know if she'll be a good president. Leftists had no clue if Barack Obama would be a good president. Democrats picked Obama on faith. There's danger there, sure. My sense is that Palin's attuned to popular sensibilities in a way the Barack Obama has never been. She's anti-elitist. She stands against the elite-arugula entitlement that is the essence of the Democrat-Socialist hegemonic power agenda. And Sarah Palin learns. She's open to ideas and feedback. If President Obama had even an ounce of those qualities he'd have a much better chance of avoiding early retirement in 2012 --- quite possible at the hands of Sarah Palin herself.

Democrat Group Demagogues START Debate With New 'Daisy Girl' Ad
Cross-posted from American Power.
*****
It's from the American Values Network, a hard-left progressive faith group:
Burns Strider, the group's founder, was a former aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and was a faith advisor to the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. In other words, this is a Democratic ad blitz using the most outlandish fearmongering imaginable. The original "Daisy Girl" ran at the height of the Cold War. It came in response to Barry Goldwater's bellicose comments on the use of nuclear weapons against the Soviets. There's little of that kind of rhetoric in today's GOP --- and we're not on brink of a nuclear holocaust --- and the ad's claims on inspections under the new START are entirely dependent on Moscow's compliance and transparency. When Obama signed the treaty in April, our Czech allies dissed it as "appeasing Russia." See my previous entry: "Trust Russia on START?"

This did not take long........from Rico
The American public, unfettered by layers of bureaucratic 'streamlining' and possessed of an inalienable common sense completely absent within its own Government, has responded clearly....and it did not take long!
- Meanwhile, back in the never-never fantasy land of Washingtoon, DC our political Lords and Ladies of the appointed [read: unelected] Federal bureaucracy are still scratching their heads and wonderng what all the fuss is about and/or saying let them travel another way then, the ingrates! After ALL we do to....er, FOR them!
Our elected Royalty have 'deemed' not to care or to notice anything amiss. "What, me worry?" is their order of the day.
More TSA........from Rico
It may have quite eluded Obamaberry & Co, but not the American citizen, that our fundamental "rights" are being violated by an out-of-control Gooberment.
- This political cartoon captures the essence of it nicely.
