A F***ing Scream From The Den….....
MommaBear seldom ventures into the category of politics/government, BUT, Editor be damned, and Andrew’s nose getting out of joint, she can keep still no longer!
Listening to a local ‘news’-cast [passed through a PC filter ], she heard of more ‘confiscations’ in the name of ‘security’ from people attending the 4th of July concert on the Esplanade in Boston. Now this is a group of citizens which has NEVER had a reputation for anything but totally civilised behavior over the 25+++ year history of these concerts. They will only permit plastic knives and forks; they limited what people could take on the grounds for protection even against temperatures in the mid to high 90’s; they searched a lot of them.
The total absurdity of the regulations leads to just one conclusion: the government has decided to treat its citizens as though they all belonged in prison! No longer can we be trusted; we must ALL have evil intent, according to them. Even the blimp has been banned; tell me they couldn’t have licensed it and checked it out for security. With the complicity of the poplular media, those in positions of power have taken the easy, lazy way out by treating eveyone as dangerous; they wouldn’t recognize a terrorist if they fell over one! The procedures they have put in place have been designed to conform to PC rules, not to accomplish anything useful. Banning profiling was the single biggest PC error in the world. We are in just as much danger as we were before 11 September, if not more, from their stupid, totally ineffective, punitive, and, above all, pathetic substitutes for real security work.
If this is what the 4th of July has descended to, this country is in BAD SHAPE and we don’t even know it because we’ve been bamboozled, misled, blathered to, had a siren-song sung to, and subjected to all the other tricks to which those professional politicians have become so addicted in their drive to enslave us all like sheep to slaughter. We should be preparing for a funeral this time next year unless things change dramatically before then…as our bretheren the Jews would say…gather a Minyon to sit Shiva to say Kadish for our fallen once-proud country.
