US intelligence couldn't find a terrorist if he was setting up a rocket launcher on the Capitol Mall; they're too busy studying up for their ideological purity tests. Our "security" is accomplished by being terrorized by mouth-breathing high-school-dropouts confiscating our toothpaste and herding us through gates like cattle. It's not about finding explosives, it's about getting you accustomed to the slaughterhouse.

What does port security have to do with teaching people how to submit? That's the goal, isn't it? That's what we're fighting for?

The British are heros this week. Every Islamo-fuck that is caught or better killed means America is safer. Israel and America are killing islamo-fucks right now in Lebanon so they'll never, ever, have the chance to hurt America. That's as it should be.
