Wake Up America.... Please

[Chevy454]

That's a good point Canucklehead...the media is all the time boasting about getting to the meat of things and putting it out there regardless of the slant, but more times than not you can feel the *spin* before the segment is even over...and don't think for a second the media doesn't have their agenda as well, whether it be winning the Nielsons or winning the particular political seat of the day...

I take anything from virtually any media source with a grain of salt. Think about anything you have seen on the news that you are an expert on, if the media is trying... they might have it 40% correct at best. Accurate stories from the media are few and far between. Then throw in their slant on the story to make it better fit their agenda. Sad thing is that a majority of liberals really, truely think the Bovine Scattalogy offered by the media is accurate!

That's because they want to believe it so much.
Then they follow the other sheep to the slaughter.......

Ditto to Dr. Vernon Chong (USAF ret.). That man said everything that I have thought since our 9/11 wake-up call was delivered. I've had all "the religion of peace BS" that I can possibly choke down. The only positive angle that I can see lately, is that "profiling" is now being discussed more and more on the political shows and talk radio. Profiling is a positive (and logical) step toward identifying the dirty bastards who want our heads. We should all do our best to persuade friends, family, and politicians to recognize the danger we face as a country.

Oh, they're profiling on the airlines already! I've only flown a handful of times in my life, all within the last year, and every time but once they've pulled the whitest guy they could find right out of line, while the rest of the plane is boarding, and dressed him down...and guess who that lucky soul was! Your's truly!! My wife always gets a kick out of it, and it's kind of a running joke now...but it kinda makes ya wonder if they shouldn't be paying attention to the folks getting on the plane instead of messing with some Hillbilly!

And another rant...when are they gonna start checking the folks loading the plane, or even limit access to it? Here at work we occasionally pickup *clients* down at the cargo docks...getting up close and personal with the tarmac is as easy as turning left instead of continuing on to the terminal...

That would be bad for business. Most ramp jobs, if they have not yet been outsourced, have been outsourced to outside contractors. And who do the outside contractors like to hire? New immigrants are very popular because they will work for anything. They don't cause labor hassles (no union talk) and are probably delighted just to have a job in America.

TSA screening is mainly a big show for the traveling public. All sorts of miscreants come and go down on the ramp while passengers and flight crews have to take off their shoes and toss their bottled water in the trash, etc. If we really got serious about screening ramp employees and cargo it would quickly induce an unwanted cost on the airlines. Screening passengers and crew is one thing both the airlines and TSA/the government can agree on, really getting serious about screening EVERYBODY and EVERYTHING on the airport might begin to cost money.

You can put your shoes on now.

No, I think they're on the right trail with those hillbillies. I think you've even become politicaly correct as your calling the cargo "clients".
I think a good place to start would be to shut off Rush, or moveon.org, and put on some good Beattles, or for you hillbilies some Johnny Cash. Not much good comes from any talk radio except to incite the masses. Hate is easy. Common sense, and logic take more than a 5 second sound byte. Research the information that you hear, and make sure it's the truth, not just someones interpretation of it. Someone mentioned FDR. He said "All you have to fear is fear itself. He knew that fear can blind good judgement, and common sense. Who ever that was, they were right. We could use him now.

Dr. Vernon Chong's thoughts are what every true red blooded AMERICAN thinks.. Screw this rules of war crap, as far as Im concerned anything goes in war all I can say is if I was over fighting Id be shooting who ever the heck was in my way or looked at me twice. I cant believe our Country has the nerve to put our own soldiers on trial for shooting an quote on quote innocent by stander.. B.S. These freaks will blow themselves up with out thinking twice so as far as shooting an innocent person well..SORRY YOU WERE IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME! Im think we owe or Soldiers everything and then some!! for putting they're life on the line for us. Our Country is turning it a circus side show with the way its ran! THE AMERICAN NEWS MEDIA IS 100% TO BLAME these people are just as bad as the TERRORIST if not WORSE! They give the terrorist our plans of war before the Generals even get them and then when ever you turn on the T.V. there is always some frickin' lady crying about how her family was shot, you never hear about the bad people we shoot or the progress we made its always the poor lady showing her blown up house or them crying about or MEAN SOLDIERS THAT KILL PEOPLE. Someone with some balls has get into office or a power spot and step up and get things done! Dr. Vernon Chong sound like a darn good start. Ive said this numerous times Id give up every penny to my name and start fresh if it went to wiping out these morons because when they were all gone the world would be a safer place and it would thrive!!

Im am not political at all but this is a sore subject because the little man never gets heard.. Put any REAL RED BLOODED AMERICAN ON T.V. PRIME TIME FOR 1 HOUR AND LET HIM SPEAK HIS MIND AND THEN TAKE A POLL ON HOW MANY AMERICANS FEEL THE SAME WAY.. I BET IT WOULD BE IN THE 80% RANGE OR HIGHER. (Of course you could never get the truth from the terroist news media) I LOVE MY COUNTRY AND CRANK LEE GREENWOODS (PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN) EVERYTIME IT COMES ON THE RADIO AND SMILE, JUST CANT STAND THE WAY ITS BEING RUN.

AND AS FAR AS RACIAL PROFILING GOES..

ALL I CAN SAY IS HELL YES 100%.
