The Perfect Day: UPDATE

My earlier post from Sept. 11, “The Terror At Beslan” referenced the takeover of the school in Beslan, Russia and what it could mean here. I had heard of it and was looking into the way the story connected with American schools when Glenn Beck aired a week long piece that covered it in great detail.

THIS SCENARIO IS REAL, PEOPLE! I believe the reason it has been flying under the radar is because of the fear and panic it would cause. I have trained for this scenario, as have countless other law enforcement agencies (Local, State and Federal) for quite a while now. The best advice I can give you is do the research yourself.

Glenn has exposed this on a national platform and I think the feds are ready to fess up and tell what they know (And have known). I will post here in the next few days a list of what to do if, God forbid, this does come to fruition. You can access the article here.

Just a Thought: The Standing Down of The Air Force

Tomorrow, the United States Air Force Air Combat Command will stand down all 100,000 active duty airmen in light of the nuclear warhead fiasco in Minot, ND.

The U.S., However, will not be unprotected. It will still have combat aircraft at the ready, mostly National Guard units.

This decision to stand down raises some serious issues and questions. One, why stand down all active duty personnel, and two, why in the world would you publicize it?

It’s bad enough we have our media giving war plans out like free meal tickets. Now, we have our own military advertising to the whole world we are only going to be at 25 to 50 percent capacity for an entire 24 hour period.

No wonder we’re not winning the war on terror.

John Doe And The Nation’s Security

On May 14, Congressmen Steven Pearce, Rep. Peter King and Rep. Bill Shuster introduced HR 2291, which would grant immunity to anyone who reports suspicious activity involving the possible threat to transportation or the safety and security of transportation. This resolution is a direct result of the “Flying Imams” case in November of 2006.

Why anyone in Congress would be opposed to this legislation is beyond me. When we have terrorists that want to destroy America, with their preferred choice being public transportation, it is every American’s duty to report any activity that seems out of the ordinary.

I understand that some people believe, because they have only read headlines or talking points, that the “Imams” were targeted because they were Muslim and praying loudly, nothing more. They were doing more than praying. Praying in public is a constitutional right that all religions enjoy in the U.S., but when you combine prayer with constant moving around in an erratic manner, yelling, and refusal to abide by the requests of the flight attendants to have a seat, any reasonable and prudent person would believe that the activity is threatening and out of the ordinary.

It is very important that citizens be able to report suspicious activity without fear of civil liability. In an age where we have people that want to destroy America, there is not enough law enforcement to go around. Even without the threat of terrorism, police are not able to keep up with crime. Extra eyes and ears are necessary in order to keep our Republic safe.

Hodge-Podge Of The Day

I find Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff’s statement that he has a “Gut Feeling” regarding terror attacks this summer just a little disturbing. C’mon. This guy is in charge of protecting the homeland and the best he can come up with is “A gut feeling”? FIRE HIS ASS!

Intelligence and security officials in the U.S. say that Al-Qaeda is rebuilding and are attempting to insert cells in this country. NEWS FLASH, GENIUSES: They are already here. They’ve been here. They probably just walked right across the Mexican border. They have been here setting up shop for years and just quietly biding their time. Get ready for fighting in the streets.

Has anyone noticed the crappy job our new congress is doing? So far they have managed to open 300 or so investigations into the Bush administration on everything from the war in Iraq to whether George Bush wears boxers or briefs. They still want revenge from the 2000 elections I guess.

On the same note, does the current Democratic-run congress realize that they are stepping over Constitutional boundries by enacting legislation telling the President how to run the war? They are also trampling the constitution by threatening criminal subpoena’s in regards to President Bush and his personal papers on the firings of the U.S. Attorneys. If he wants to fire all the U.S. Attorneys, that’s his call, and Congress can’t do a damned thing about it. They serve at the presidents pleasure, plain and simple. President Clinton fired something like nearly all of them, and no one seems to think that was innappropriate. Like I said, the current Congress could care less about running the country.

Warmongers Or Patriots?

With all the anti-war protests and Hollywood celebrities going to bat for a peaceable solution to the Iraqi crisis, you have to wonder why anyone in their right mind would want to keep a dictator of the caliber of Saddam Hussein in power. Is it really worth risking the lives of innocent people-not only here in America, but all over the world? The Hollywood elitists and the bleeding-heart liberals say he poses no threat to us, let alone anyone else. They say he doesn’t have the so-called weapons of mass destruction to do any harm, and we have his word on it. They say that President Bush is a warmonger and anyone who supports the use of force against Iraq is a warmonger also. But are we?

A warmonger, by loose definition, is a person or people who fight wars for the sake of fighting wars, or to take control of land or people, by force, to serve their own needs or desires. The Vikings and their infamous exploits are an example of warmongering. They didn’t go into other lands to stave off the threat of an attack; they just wanted the gold and the women. When the Vikings went to ancient Scotland and took control of the Western Isles and Highlands, the Scots drove them out under the leadership of Somerled, Lord of the Isles (who, incidentally, was of Norse decent) He had had enough of the rape and pillaging of his adopted homeland. Was Somerled a warmonger just because he used force to rid Scotland of the Vikings? No, he was a protector of his people who were sending a message to the Vikings or anyone else who might want to invade his home.

What is it Iraq has that we would want to go to war for? Oil? We have enough oil without having to take control of Iraq. Is it the beautiful and rich land? We have deserts here and we don’t use them for anything except retirees’ and photography. When you stop and think about it, there is nothing there that we can’t absolutely do without. So why are the left leaning idiots trying to use the Colonialization argument against war? Probably because they ARE idiots, but most likely because they don’t believe in America and the ideas of fundamental good and the proactive protection of our own people.

If you ask anyone who has ever fought in a war, they will tell you it is ugly, inhumane and so traumatic that the average person couldn’t comprehend what death and destruction really is. They will tell you that they would not want to ever, ever have to go through that experience again. They will also tell you that they would, in a heart beat, go fight for their country because it still is, with all of it’s problems, the greatest nation in the world. They did what they had to do and came home. Did they want to go in the first place? Most of them, no. They weren’t warmongers, just patriots who believed in the fundamental values of our nation.

With the above example in place, I ask you this: Do you want to go to war? I don’t. Being a cop, I see ugly every day and have seen enough trauma to effect me for a lifetime. Do I go to work hoping to see a decapitated 10 year old in an auto accident? Do I want to see a woman, or a child for that matter, that has been beaten because they didn’t do what they were told or because the spouse was so drunk he couldn’t control his temper? No, but I know that everyday I am out there I am making a difference, and that is what keeps me going to work. I think the same applies to our men and women in uniform. They don’t want war. They have families at home, like you and me, and want to live long enough to raise them and love them. They also have to protect that family from threats, foreign and domestic because, when the day is over, no one else is going to protect us.

As with most Americans, I want to live a quiet, peaceful life and get along with everyone. I don’t want to have to fight and kill anyone, but if it means protecting future generations from dictators like Hussein, I would.

In a heartbeat.
