You know this country is ****ed up when. . .
Conservatives like Limbaugh and Hannity are arguing against higher security at airports and 'some' on the left are arguing for these 'enhanced techniques', all because of who is in the White House.
The arguments would be the other way around if the President was a republican.
So ****ing weird.
I'm so glad most here at DU can see through this shit and call it for what it is despite the party labels.

Nah plenty of us complained about the new security measures when Bush was in office. We also complained that because of you libs we had to do it that way instead of profiling anyone.

11. Yep, and yet come 2012 the GOP will still somehow claim Obama is weak on security
The worst part of people saying the opposite of what they usually do because of who's in the White House is imagine for a second if the TSA changed nothing in it's security regulations after the Underwear bomber. In 2012 the republican nominee would then have screamed that Obama is weak on security for not adding more airport security since the underwear bomber.
One guy who wrote an article about this had a great point, what if once the terrorists get into our country (like many of the terrorists who attacked/tried to attack us on Airplanes already were) they decided to attack us in some other way? What if for example they went to a busy grocery store and blew themselves up around a bunch of people, similar to how terrorists do it in the middle east. Would we have to put up with full body scans and pat downs at all our grocery stores then? The point is that to think that by merely protecting our airports and national landmarks we'll prevent a terrorist attack is foolish. If they can get into our country (or worse yet, if they can brainwash an American to do their bidding) then they can attack us almost anywhere. You can't just police the rest of the US like we do the airlines to stop a terrorist attack, it would cost way too much and stop far too few terrorist attacks, I mean compare the number of plots the media announces that the government successfully stopped from happening, compared to plots that either happened, or came darn close to happening (like the underwear bomber). You'll find far more plots that we're already stopping.
And you know the worst part of the new airline regulations? Even the people who make the full body scanners admit that they wouldn't have detected the underwear bomber's bomb, because it was made of materials that don't show up in an X-Ray. So then why are we wasting millions of dollars on full body scanners that wouldn't have worked anyway? I mean duh, if you're the underwear bomber and you know your bomb won't show up in the full body scanner, of course you'll take the full body scan over the much riskier pat down.
Well if they let Muslims pat themselves down then yes Obama is weak on security and strong on Political correctness.

I remember hating the TSA back when they were only harassing 3 year olds and their mothers. And Bush was President back then.

When we elect the most inexperienced, leftist ideologue to POTUS and the MSM never looks at his record...in fact hides his record and lies of his accomplishments.

And don't look at his acquaintances as well.

The left has no onje to blame but themselves. Theye didn't want profiling ,They didn't want the Patriot Act. They didn't want us wiretapping goons with explosives trying toget them here while chatting up their enablelers in the US. Sorry but you freaks on the left caused this. And you ****ing waste of genetic material that are lurking here can go back to DU and whine about it allyou want to but it won't change the truth.
