TSA Screening Got Me Thinking. . .

By Douglas V. Gibbs

I have defended the U.S. Government for trying to make us safe through national security measures, but have also indicated that the measures we are seeing with the TSA is going to far. It made me wonder, however, why now? The Democrats complained about the Patriot Act, but suddenly Obama wants to tap cell phones, control the Internet, bring back the Fairness Doctrine, and check everyone for bombs (except Muslims, of course. . . we don't want to offend anybody) at the airport. Why?

National Security, for the Democrats, is no longer about security - now everything they do is about making Americans submit to the process, teaching us to submit to the government, show us what it is like to live under a police state. . . make it so bad that when they draw back and then hammer us with all of the other stuff, they'll say something along the lines of, "Hey, it could be worse, we could always go back to the TSA screening madness!!!"

Creeping Incrementalism on steroids. Obama is fundamentally changing America as promised, and it is a nightmare. . . hmmmm, no wonder the Democrats lost so badly last November 2nd!

2012, here we come. . .
