Since the TSA molested my family, why doesn’t Obama volunteer to subject his family to the same security procedures?

Two weeks ago, my wife flew alone out to Colorado with our two young children. Unaware that the TSA had instituted new and incredibly invasive new security procedures, my wife called me distressed after getting frisked by the TSA. Or as my wife put it, “in some cultures I would be married to my screener by now.” She was joking, but make no mistake — my wife was incredibly disturbed by how intimate a security pat down she received.
So here’s my not-so-modest proposal: If the President’s Homeland Security department is so adamant that this is the absolute best way to prevent terrorism, I think the President and his family should voluntarily submit to one of the new invasive pat down procedures. I know the Obamas don’t fly commercial at all these days, so they should probably get a pretty good idea what the rest of us are putting up with.

Does the TSA Ever Catch Terrorists? If they do, for some reason they won't admit it.

Writing in Slate on Thursday, political reporter David Weigel identified a "full-blown revolt against the TSA." On Saturday, would-be passenger John Tyner refused an airport security pat-down with the now-famous phrase "if you touch my junk I'm going to have you arrested"; Texas congressman Ron Paul introduced the American Traveler Dignity Act to establish "that airport security screeners are not immune from any US law"; and several groups have designated Wednesday, Nov. 24 (the day before Thanksgiving), National Opt-Out Day against invasive body scanners. According to the TSA's Web site, new security measures like full-body scanners are just part of its mission "to prevent any terrorist or criminal activity"—but have TSA screeners ever actually prevented a terrorist attack?

Recent videos of some Democrat retards before they were booted; care of Breitbart #teaparty

The following videos, which were all featured first here at Big Government, helped provide an insight into what makes the Democratic Leadership tick.  It allowed the American public to see how these upstanding representatives behave when the CSPAN cameras are off, and citizen journalists’ cameras are on.
As much as we appreciate the content they have provided us over the past year, we will be happy to see some of them go back to their civilian life.  And remember, even if you don’t live in their districts, you can still cast a vote against the party that gives these congressmen such influence over our lives, liberties and pursuits of happiness.

Will it be like 1994 all over again?

Time to pull out the history file to see if the political wave Republicans are riding tonight will prove as powerful as that of 1994.

Or stronger.

Looking back, it appears the Grand Old Party picked up 54 seats in the House and nine in the Senate on Election Day 1994. The GOP got a 10th Senate seat a few months later when Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby swapped parties.

Washington state's delegation in the House wound up with 7 Republicans and 2 Democrats - Norm Dicks and Jim McDermott.

To see a historic division in the U.S. House, go here.

And for the U.S. Senate go here.

In the state Legislature, 1994 affected the two chambers differently. In the Senate, Democrats lost three seats but still wound up with 25 enough for a majority.

Democrats suffered huge losses in the House. By the time the dust settled - a couple Rs defected in early 1995 -- the Dems found themselves going from a majority of 65 to a minority of 32.

Letters: Progressive policies have led us to the brink of disaster

...

Through 2008, average unemployment rate averaged 5.5 percent, consistent GDP Growth was nearly 4 percent and income tax revenues increased from approximately $1.75 trillion to $2.5 trillion dollars.

All the while, the Democrat Party whined "where are the jobs" while voting for any and every spending bill put before them.

The "Tax cuts for the rich" cries from the left, while an effective slogan like "hope and change," are just empty rhetoric not supported by the facts. Tax rate cuts, and you will notice that the term "rate" is never used by anyone, increased tax revenues over 30 percent while the "rich" paid more of the tax burden than ever before. Economic growth is the key, not punishing the creation of wealth that benefits every citizen.

While I disagreed with many decisions the Bush administration made, starting with their Democrat-lite RINO Policies, the ridiculous complaints from Obama and his minions about the last eight years causing today's problems only proves the short attention span of the Voting public and the power of the liberal attack machine currently known as the mainstream press.

Look no further than the Sen. Chris Dodd and Rep. Barney Frank caused Fannie/Freddie meltdown and the takeover of Congress by the Pelosi/Reid axis in January 2007 for the problems we face today. Unchecked and unsustainable liberal, or, should I say, progressive policies over the last 70 years have led us to the brink.

The failure of the Republican Party to counteract the welfare state mentality while letting the left frame the argument has done nothing but embolden the enemies of the Constitution while leading us down the road to serfdom. With every act of Congress, a little more of our freedom and liberty is eroded, while the ruling class solidifies its rule over every citizen.

In the meantime, enjoy the Obama/Biden "summer of recovery."
