Liberal Fascists Lining Up Wish List for Lame Duck Session
If they’re not careful, there’s going to be some other kind of “lining up” in their immediate futures.
First up, they want to revive a proposed bill that would force all law enforcement officers and firefighters to unionize. Yep, that’s it. If you want to be a cop or a firefighter, then no matter what state you live in, you’ll be forced to start paying your kickbacks to the union National Socialist Democrat Workers’ Party’s campaign coffers under this “law.”
Mind you, His Imperial Majesty isn’t in the least against workers voluntarily forming unions and voluntarily donating to whomever their hearts desire, but he IS against law-mandated NSDWP protection rackets taking over more American workplaces. The NSDWP and their wholly owned subsidiaries, their union S.A., should be prosecuted under the RICO Act.
After they’re disbanded and their leaders sent into forced labor camps. Non-unionized labor camps, of course.
Second, and this is no particular surprise, the lame ducks are making noises about jamming Shamnesty down our throats before they’re shown the door in January.
Their Soviet scorched earth tactics are as disgusting as they are predictable. They’re hell-bent and determined to do as much damage to whatever remains of our country as they can before they’re sent packing and, of course, since the election is over, calling them is unlikely to impress them much as they’ll be unemployed come January no matter how they vote.
Then again, we know where they live. Jobless AND homeless might be too daunting a prospect, even for fanatics like them.
And, finally, with a huge Tip O’The Crown to our Imperial Sister Nicki, here’s a shout-out to the child molesters at TSA (Transportmittel SturmAbteilung): Don’t be the last one on your block to shoot a TSA goon in the face for groping your kid’s genitals.
Two by two, hands of blue…(geek points there)

FIRST!!!! FIREFLY!!!
Yes, I’m a nerd.
If they search enough cavities, maybe they might eventually find The Usurper’s missing original birth certificate and other missing records? I know there has been a big nationwide campaign for everyone to get colonoscopied.
They really want Bonzo to be a one-termer, don’t they?
Rob and I are supposed to be taking a vacation to Vegas in May. He said he’d rather get groped than nekkid scanned. I’m not sure. I can’t decide which would require more violence – a pervy TSA goon drooling over my naked breasts and possibly saving the picture, or a pervy TSA goon groping them…
I know one thing: neither one of my munchkins will be flying ANYWHERE until this fucked up, twisted policy is rescinded! The first TSA goon who touches either one of my children will get kicked in the teeth.
Response to LC Nicki the Resident Misanthropic Bitch @:
It’s good to know I’m not the only nerd around…
My wife and I are going on vacation in February. I was planning on saving a couple of dollars and driving to Pittsburgh to get on the plane, now I think I will use the little local airport. They will be one of the last to get the nekid machines in.
Response to Slightly to the right of Gingis Khan @:
Wow, that’s a pretty ambitious agenda for a four-week session.
Seriously, we are talking about a dysfunctional group of lawmakers who can’t get anything to a vote without a super majority. One can only wish the dems would suddenly find their spines, but I wouldn’t count on it.
I don’t expect them to get anything passed.
I look at it this way: You have choices. Your first choice is whether to fly or not. If you choose not to fly, then your problem is solved.
Your second choice comes after you decide to fly. You have a choice whether to go through the scanning machine or getting a pat-down. If you don’t want to make that choice, then you should amend your first choice.
You have no right to fly. Because of that fact, you have no right to be free of being searched if you decide you want to fly.
Besides, we are talking about a pat-down, not a strip search or body cavity search — both of which have always been available.
Remember, it has been the Right ginning up this fear-based atmosphere for almost ten years now. What did you expect the final outcome to be? Suddenly you want to go back to that “pre-9/11 mindset”?
I hearby grant YOU the power to decide how to keep weapons and explosives off of an aircraft. How would YOU do it?
DJ Allyn, ITW said the following:
Easy.
1) Contact El Al.
2) Use the budget of the now-abolished incompetent TSA to pay the consultants from El Al anything they need to teach our guys how to do what they’ve been doing for decades.
3) Have beer.
That was quick.
Emperor Misha I said the following:
But…but….. you can’t professionalize unless you federalize! Tom Dasshole told us so, ‘member?
Deej commented….
Uh, I have to comment. As a member of the military, I am ORDERED to fly to certain locations. I get no options. Therefore, I am forced into a position where I MUST go thru security.
Yes, I volunteered for military service, and, by that choice lose certain rights. HOWEVER, this ‘glacier’ pace of losing additional freedoms is what concerns me.
Also, unless the rules have changed in the last 2 weeks, if you fly a private aircraft, or as a passenger, or you fly contracted air, you go thru NO security. I have personally experienced this several times.
DJ Allyn, ITW said the following:
Misha answered this as well as it can be answered, but I’ll toss in my two cents as well.
I don’t have a problem with the nekid machines, provided they A) are proven safe, and B) are used properly. (used to give additional scrutiny to people who appear to be a threat.
I’m a 37 year old 6 ft 1 in male currently sporting a full beard. I expect to garner more attention than the 17 year old bubbly cheerleader in the line. If I go through acting all shifty and not making eye contact……. I expect to get looked at REAAAAL close.
When the TSA goons are giving the pat down and all the attention to a screaming child under the age of 7 they are NOT doing their job. It’s called profiling……. and it works.
Draco,
You must have missed the memo about how it was grannies, ww2 vets, and toddlers who attacked the twin towers.

It is not just a normal pat down, nor is it restricted to airports with the strip-search scanners. see:
http://www.ourlittlechatterboxes.com/2010/11/tsa-sexual-assault.html
note that this was done at an airport that does not have the strip-search scanners.
http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2010/10/for-the-first-time-the-tsa-meets-resistance/65390/
noting that this is the ATLANTIC, a magazine on the Left of the spectrum, and the reasons the TSA stated for the groping.
http://www.prisonplanet.com/tsa-now-putting-hands-down-fliers-pants.html
see the link included that notes that TSA’s hiring policy does not bar sex offenders from the job and that they have hired some, and USA TODAY’s report as to the extent of the touching required.
As far as the security of the scans [and noting that the pictures released in the link below have been deliberately fuzzed before posting to protect the victims and come from an early version of the strip-search scanners that is far less revealing than what is now in our airports]:
http://gizmodo.com/5690749/
The above came from the Federal Marshal’s Service at one courthouse. Things to keep in mind. We were promised that these machines could not in any way store or transmit the pictures. Despite being an utter bullshit promise, because they have to have the pictures to show probable cause if they catch someone and it goes to trial; this one courthouse had 35,000 pictures stored. This, and pretty much anything out of Transportmittel Sturm-Abteilung‘s and “Don’t Hamstring Saboteurs”‘s mouths are a lie.
As totally fucked up as this is, one has to agree that the Federal Marshal’s Service is light-years ahead of Transportmittel Sturm-Abteilung as far as professionalism is concerned. Which means that it is likely that these fine, upstanding Federal employees are probably preparing to blackmail people with copies of the scans as we speak. After all, who would prosecute them? Eric Holder?
As far as keeping unwanted weapons, and explosives, off of airliners:
a) Take the suggestions above RE: El Al. b) make the airline/airports hire private security personnel WITH SOME REAL STANDARDS and pay them accordingly. Yeah, it will cost more. No one said it had to be cheap, just effective and NOT A VIOLATION OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT. Choosing to take common carrier transportation makes you legally neither a criminal nor a slave. c) I would keep the basic, non-invasive scans and explosives sniffing of passengers. d) enhanced search of cargo, especially cargo coming from outside the country, and e) actual, real, honest-to-Ahura Mazda background checks and immigration status checks for all airline and airport employees. This last may be the hardest; because getting the Federal government to enforce any law that restricts illegal immigration is all but impossible.
A separate response to
There is a huge body of civil rights law regarding the right of anyone to make use of any common carrier transportation, especially interstate common carrier transportation. I will yield to any of our attorney LC’s if they can cite otherwise, but I believe I am on firm ground in asserting that in fact you have a right to fly on a common carrier. The ” right to be free of being searched if you decide you want to fly” argument is a straw man. You can be searched in order to protect the safety of the passengers and crew. HOWEVER such right to search does not in any way void the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, nor does it allow government agents to commit what meets the strict statutory definition of sexual assault of varying degrees as a condition of flying, nor does it allow the collection of nude photographs of innocent citizens going about their lawful affairs. The right to search for specific reasons is not an unlimited grant of authority to government agents over free citizens.
LC Subotai Bahadur, Lord Pao An
Perhaps you should have said, “even with a supermajority.” The survivors in the House will no longer buy into Ear Leader’s assurances that Marxism/socialism will not hurt their chances for re-election. Every lawmaker up there knows that 1/3 of the Senate and all of the House will be up for re-election in 2 years. They also realize that We the People have a longer memory than they gave us credit for. So, even though the ruling elite are making up a wish list, most, if not all of it has no chance of passage. Even if it gets through the House, it can be filibustered in the Senate. We just have to keep reminding our elected representatives that they work for US, and that their marxist-socialist agenda was thouroughly repudiated (refutiated, if you prefer) at the last election.
Emperor Misha I said the following:
Sounds good.
The question is, why didn’t we do this in the first place?
I’m sorry, that was a rhetorical question. The short answer is that Congress was lobbied up one side and down the other by private industry to provide these massively expensive machines to detect people carrying weapons, bombs, and whatnot. They have yet to design a machine that can detect intent.
Why did we (as in the collective “us”) get sold on this type of intrusion? Because we screamed loud and clear that we wanted to be Safe™ when we fly. We don’t care who the fuck gets a pat-down, finger-wave or full body scan — just as long as it isn’t us.
Personally, they should invent a machine where you can walk through this blast-proof tunnel one at a time. If someone walks through that tunnel and the machine detects a bomb or other type of weapon, it would automatically detonate it, hose off the inside of the tunnel and let the next person go through it.
But sure, it would be nice just to have the same type of security that El Al does. But just try to picture any one of the slugs they have working for the TSA being able to do any of that.
Slightly to the right of Gingis Khan said the following:
I don’t have a problem with them either. As far as whether they are “safe” or not, I’m thinking that if you are flying a lot you might actually get more radiation FROM being in a plane at high altitude than you would walking through one of those machines. You are probably at more danger talking on your cell phone.
I don’t even mind a pat search — it isn’t that big of a deal. You can be assured that it probably bothers the person conducting the search more than it does the person being searched. And understand, the pat search has been around for quite a while now.
LC Draco said the following:
You addressed the main part of the argument yourself — you had a choice and you took it. As far as losing additional freedoms, I have been telling people here for the past eight years that our freedoms are being erroded on a daily basis. Blame the Patriot Act parts one and two for that — because vitually ALL of this stems from those two acts.
I say repeal both parts of the Patriot Act and give us back our freedoms.
Response to LC Subotai Bahadur, Lord Pao An @ 14:
You do not have a right to fly. Ask anyone who has found themselves to be arbitrarily put on a “no fly list”. You don’t even have a right to ride a bus or drive a car. You do have a right to travel, but that doesn’t spell out the mode of that travel. If you are traveling on a private carrier, they can require you to submit to any kind of search as they feel necessary without violating your civil rights. As far as the government doing the searching, there is a plethora of case law that has erroded the Fourth Amendment down so far that it is barely recognizable any more.
LC Ogrrre said the following:
And yet they put the Republicans back into the House. I submit that it is just the opposite. We the People have a memory that is about as long as their shoelace, and they don’t remember things going back further than a few weeks.
People voted the way they did in this past election based almost exclusively on where they were at right now. They see high unemployment, and low buying power. They expected the government to magically “fix” something that is most certainly broken and almost unrepairable. We the People are impatient. We the People suffer from what I like to call PIG — Problems of Instant Gratification.
You can bet your ass that if things don’t improve in the next two years, We the People will waffle back to the other side.
My FEDERAL GOVERNMENT JOB requires that I fly to job locations. My JUNK will not be handled. I also will not be irradiated for a job required flight.
Stick that in you liberal “i’m a dual citizen”, commie, go fuckyourself cock sock.
Sorry, my last comment was direct at deej the dipshit.
…
The Firefly reference makes the TSA poster a whole, whole lot more creepy.
R6 said the following:
That isn’t “junk”, that’s just a vivid imagination. The only “junk” you have is in your trunk. and it probably belongs to someone else.
You are going to put up and shut up. It is easy for you to beat your birdcage chest and act tough and all here, but the reality is, when you get on that plane you are going to be just like all of the other sheeple there and pass through the back scatter scanning machine.
Besides, how does it feel to know that you owe your job at the FDIC to Obama?
What are you going to do when the House shuts down the government in a couple of months?
Really, DJ? How many of the Republicans that got booted out in the ’06 and ’08 elections got put back in office? Zero?
The people also remembered how they were treated at the townhall meetings by their Democrat masters, how Obamacare was shoved down our throats, how Obama ran up the national debt in order to impose his national socialism, how they keep bringing back up “immigration reform” in the form of shamnesty, etc., etc.
And, if the current crop of Republicans decide to start acting like Democrats, the people will remove their asses, too, because we do have memories longer than our shoe strings.
The TSA is admitting it violates the 4th Amendment.
From LEFT COAST REBEL comes this YouTube of an interview from the Former Assistant TSA Admin on Security Checkpoints, Mo McGowan.
The money quote:
“Nobody likes to have their 4th Amendment violated going through a security line, but truth of the matter is, we’re gonna have to do it.”
http://www.leftcoastrebel.com/2010/11/quote-of-day-nobody-likes-to-have-their.html
Yeah, he is the former head [he left to become a Federal lobbyist just last year], but he knows what passes for thought processes at Transportmittel Sturm-Abteilung. And his statement comports totally with the actions taking place now. Some of our visitors here may consider the abrogation of any part of the Constitution a plus; especially if it comes out of the Bill of Rights. I think that others may take an opposite view. Especially those of us who have taken a certain Oath.

DJ Allyn, ITW said the following:
Here is my concern about this, These machines get a much heavier workout than any x-ray machine in even the busiest hospital, and those machines are run by techs with a much better education. What is the maintenance schedule? I can find that information easily for the machines at my local hospital………. but somehow I can’t find any of that information on the TSA machines. It is relatively new tech……. being used by poorly trained morons. I think my concerns are valid.
LC Subotai Bahadur, Lord Pao An said the following:
I don’t disagree with any of this, it would be a great start. However I still stand by my guns that if some privacy concerns and safety concerns are addressed, the strip search machines could add another positive layer of security. They would have to be used with cause, and by well trained people…….. but I would get behind keeping them, less invasive for the searcher and searchee. (as compared to an physical search, or even a traditional strip search.)
Some time ago there was some info put out (sorry, can’t recall when or where) that these backslasher machines could be set to display only the odd objects in a person’s clothing, not their corporeal outline. This appeared workable–but the ostensible option now seems to have disappeared.
The Harangue-Utan, reflexive contrarian:
I thought a “mere” frisking was the alternative to the Höllenmaschine–& then the Heimatsicherheitsbüro made the procedure unacceptable. According to Lord Pao An’s Atlantic link, this was done to encourage undergoing the virtual strip-search.
Ignoring for the moment that your power is limited to the blog–simple: get my own plane. Any weapons on board will belong to me & my passengers/crew. (No need for explosives–if I want a blunt instrument, I’ll grab a club!) I already have my own pilot, who happens to be my brother & landlord. We just need $$$.
Can you reference that claim, or are you just guessing?
I didn’t scream. Did you?
Why? I see no obligation to rely on current personnel–or the TSA itself. Some of us rightists warned early on that the operation should be privately run; even Uropeons do that!
This is unfortunately truer than we’d like. However…
You wanna bet? How much?
I FIND YOUR LACK OF FAITH DISTURBING.
Response to DJ Allyn, ITW @:
And let’s not forget that former Homeland Security goon-in-charge Chertoff has a vested financial interest in seeing these machines in every fucking airport in the country!
Since the attempted bombing of a US airliner on Christmas Day, former Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff has given dozens of media interviews touting the need for the federal government to buy more full-body scanners for airports.
LC Xystus said the following:
As opposed to an ACTUAL strip search as a means to “encourage” someone to walk through a scanning machine? Should the TSA make the scanning machine optional? Maybe all search procedures optional? I mean, you and I spent billions of dollars on these damn things and now we should do away with them?
Allow me to anticipate your next argument: Should we have paid for these things?
Nope. But thanks to Michael Chertoff, and members of Congress from both parties who used fear to push these things through, we now have them. Oh, and someone call Glenn Beck: George Soros has a one-off investment in this technology.
But airports aren’t the only place these damn things are being used at. Check these out:

LC Xystus said the following:
You give me waaaay too much power.
LC Xystus said the following:
I must have anticipated your question, because I just provided the answer.
LC Xystus said the following:
I don’t scream either. But there are a LOT of people who buy into this fear propaganda machine that passes itself off as political discussion. Have you forgotten about the threat level color codes? Be afraid, be very afraid…
You and i both know that there are some very susceptible people in this country that buy into fear, and they look to our government to “protect” them from the boogieman. They don’t realize that the government often turns out to be that boogieman.
LC Xystus said the following:
How is private industry going to do the job any better? What are you going to do, hire Blackwater? That will be fun.
LC Xystus said the following:
How about a gentlemen’s bet? I only have history to prove the point. The American voter is fickle and impatient — you know that.
This doesn’t mean that a third party alternative won’t appear on the landscape this time — I actually expect it. Like it or not, the Republican Party is splitting into two separate groups, and I think we’ll see another Ross Perot effect in the next election.
LC Xystus said the following:
Well, I will be waiting to hear if he’s been arrested for bucking the system. But I have “faith” that he will just submit.
The other half of that short answer is that liberals screeched like howler monkeys over the thought of some poor muzzie terrorists being “profiled”.
LC Gunsniper said the following:
You haven’t figured out yet that this all boils down to money? Like any other War on ___[fill in blank]___, the War on Terror only exists to make money for select groups of people. New-fangled weapons systems, detection systems, security systems, all these things are suddenly needed in order to “protect” us.
We could easily get by with some dogs, some actual trained law enforcement officers (there are plenty of ex-military personnel who could easily do the job) and air marshals on every flight and our problems would be solved. But there is no money to be made by doing any of that.
Start wearing a kilt when you fly, then refuse the scanner. See how long that pat-down goes.
I didn’t say I disagreed with your assessment. I merely pointed out a fact that you omitted.
Great idea, but I solved the air travel question years ago by driving. Getting there really is half the fun.
Response to DJ Allyn, ITW @:
You and Mike Williamson think alike! He emailed me yesterday and said he’s wearing a kilt and greasing his balls next time he flies.
He also came up with some lines to use with TSA goons next time they want to give you a love pat.
LC Gunsniper said the following:
I prefer the train, myself. I commute between my home in Washington to British Columbia two or three times a week and the train is a great place to relax (and type these comments) while I get to where I am going.
Emperor Misha I said the following:
There, my liege…fixed it for ya!!!!
Response to LC LucysDaddy @:
That was supposed to say BEERS!!!!! As in multiple…if you’re picking up what I’m laying down.
This will not happen in this session. The Democrats are still in control of Congress until January. There are a number of things coming up for a vote that the Democrats don’t like and they are either voting them down, or as in this bill, sending them to committee to die.
But ….
Remember, Remember, the Second November …..
We can hope that the new Congress will remember, and will bring them up again; with the Democrats out of control of committees and of what is allowed to come to the floor. If they don’t remember, we will deal with them, too.
One of the things to come back up should be this:
Translation: You can search, but if that search is a violation of law [sexual assault, sexual battery, child molestation, if the images are saved for a non-law enforcement reason and/or circulated] then the TSA agent and his superiors are stripped of sovereign immunity and may be charged with those crimes or be subject to civil lawsuit.
Keep in mind:
TSA agents are not Law Enforcement Officers. They do not carry Federal Peace Officer commissions of any kind.
They are not trained. They are not educated as a matter of entrance requirements. They are not subject to psychological testing. The background checks are a joke [*], and not aimed at criminal backgrounds. I have heard, but have not yet been able to confirm, that so long as they are not currently wanted, they can be hired. There apparently is no restriction on whether they can be convicted sex offenders who are fondling men, women, and especially children. Anyone with confirmed information as to what disqualifies job applicants at TSA [other than following the Oath], please post it.

From the interview with the TSA Human Relations Officer:
LC Subotai Bahadur, Lord Pao An
DJ, H-O bleated:
I didn’t spend a dime. Let’s just say I’ve been too individually poor to worry about taxes for some time. Yes, we should do away with them–for that purpose, anyway. I wasn’t consulted, nor did I consent at any stage. Let Jerkoff & $oro$ (Beck be upon him) gnash their teeth.. Bázd úreg!
Did I say hire Badwater?
You apparently would prefer not to look. Evidently you see no difference between private competition between firms you can fire–& a government monopoly.
OK, now you’re an expert! You could become a hero just for publicly proposing this–think of the money saved..
Regarding Lord Pao An’s suggested law: Someone in the Crapitol should slip it into a “must-pass” bill during this lame-dick session.
P.S. Just another reason why I should be president!
LC Xystus said the following:
It must be nice to complain how our government works and spends money when you don’t pay taxes.
But I hate to break it to you, if you bought an airline ticket you helped pay for those machines, because you are still being taxed.
LC Xystus said the following:
Oh, there IS a difference. Whereas the government has no real overhead or a mandate to turn a profit, a private company has both. In order for a private company to work within the same monetary limits and still turn a profit (which is their only real goal, btw) they have to cut back on services.
Under the current laws, it doesn’t matter if TSA provides the security or G4S Wackenhut. (as a likely example) Whoever provides the security would still have to follow the TSA mandates and that would include the machines and the pat-downs.
Perhaps you should take a stroll through the Patriot Act(s) sometime. There, you will find what people on the Left have been complaining about for a long time, while you called us “traitors” and other things for daring to point this shit out to you.
it isn’t the people who work providing the security that you should be blaming. You need to go all the way to the top. And yes, that would be Obama as well as his predecessor, along with the current and prior Congress.
LC Xystus said the following:
It doesn’t take an expert to think up a simple solution that won’t cost nearly as much money and be as intrusive as some high-tech machines that some lobbyist who used to work as the head of Homeland (In)Security pushed off to his buddies.
You’d prefer I didn’t care, wouldn’t you?
I haven’t done that since Rottfest ’08.
You fail economics. The gov’t spends what it wants, & you can’t fire it. Companies don’t make their customers happy by “cut[ting] services,” either!
Strange, Sen. Mica didn’t seem to think so. You’d better point this out to him!
Oh, we will.
