NEVER TOLERATE TYRANNY!....Conservative voices from the GRASSROOTS.

The TSA is ugly from the get go but the Phoenix chapter is horrendous!

TSA: Wounded Soldiers Are Potential Terrorists

Philip Hodges POLITICAL OUTCAST

The TSA may have graciously changed their rules allowing knives 2.36 inches or less in length (if it’s 2.37 inches, you’re a terrorist), but they still think people in wheelchairs are secretly planning to blow up the plane they’re about to board. A little ironic considering that the terrorists on 9/11 used box cutters probably shorter in length than the knives they now allow. And what’s the excuse for all the security theater? Oh, yeah. We live in a post-9/11 world, and we wouldn’t want that to ever happen again. So, we’re going to ban liquids of more than 3.5 ounces, turkey gravy, peanut butter and the 4^th Amendment, none of which were actually used on 9/11. But the blades that were used? Yeah, you can bring those on now.

Thanks to these completely irrational rules, we’ve seen the TSA harass and embarrass elderly people, toddlers and those who have to get around in wheelchairs, which they routinely test for explosives.

Last week, a group of Marines flew in to Phoenix’s Sky Harbor airport on their way to San Diego, and a wheelchair-bound soldier was harrassed and humiliated by agents. This Marine had lost both his legs in an IED explosion somewhere in the war-torn Middle East, and he had prosthetic legs.

Representative Duncan Hunter issued a formal complaint against the TSA. Here’s how he described the incident:

“A TSA officer asked the Marine to stand and walk to an alternate area, despite the fact that he physically could not stand or walk on his own. With numerous TSA officers sitting and unwilling to assist, an officer then made him remove his legs, then put them back on, only to advance to a secondary screening location where he was asked again to stand, with extraordinary difficulty, while his wheelchair was examined for explosives.”

In his letter, Representative Hunter asked the TSA for their written procedures for inspecting wounded soldiers and suggested that they show “situational awareness” when confronting wounded veterans.

Obviously, there’s really no comparison between a federal rent-a-cop at an airport and a soldier who lost both his legs in an explosion, trying to fight an unwinnable war for his country. The sad part is if these soldiers really were fighting for our freedom here at home, we wouldn’t have the TSA in the first place. And now, those very soldiers are finding out the hard way that all their blood that’s being spilled in the name of freedom isn’t making this country any freer.

Politicians will spend trillions of dollars bombing the hell out of the Middle East until it’s “free,” but they won’t lift a finger to make our own country free. The government uses these soldiers to fight terrorists overseas, but when they come home, they’re treated like terrorists. End the unwinnable wars, and end the TSA.

Democrats are fighting tooth and nail, any efforts to clean up our election system.

Just the simple act of proving you are an American citizen to vote, is being fought all of the way up to the Supreme Court by the Obama administration, in its attempt to thwart Arizona’s voter ID laws.

The simple requirement to show identification when you register to vote/ vote is also being branded as unfair and racist by democrats

Is there anything more important to a democracy than ensuring the election system is being conducted fairly? Fair elections are the very heart and soul of a democracy.

If the elections are rigged, or manipulated, a democracy can no longer be called a democracy. It becomes a tyranny ruled by those who corrupt the election. As Joseph Stalin said: It is not so important who votes, what is important is who counts the votes

Recently it was revealed Florida uncovered an attempt to hack into its elections and hijack 2,500 absentee voter pamphlets. The intrusion was discovered and blocked before the ballots were sent out, but is this just the tip of the iceberg? See the complete story in Tech News World.

Election officials are saying this is the first documented case of online voter hacking. But is this just the first one they found? How many others were done successfully and election officials have no clue about? Evidently it is quite simple to gain entry/hack into many election systems electronically; some don’t even have passwords for entry.

Fox News has been doing an excellent ongoing investigation into voter fraud in our country and the results are disturbing. Time after time, it is proving out where there’s smoke, there is voter fraud fire. What Fox News is discovering about our elections. See stories

A Cincinnati Ohio poll worker is being charged with voting 6 times in the last presidential election. This is a poll worker, someone who is trusted to watch over our elections. What else did she do to throw the election? See story here.

This poll worker was one of 19 others in just this one county who is under investigation for vote fraud. “I’m outraged, and every voter, regardless of political affiliation, should be outraged,” said Hamilton County Board of Elections member Alex Triantafilou, who is also chairman of the county Republican Party. “It causes folks to have real doubts about the fabric of our very democratic process, and it’s dangerous.

Would this be uncovered if there wasn’t a member of the opposite party to raise an alarm and start an investigation?

Most of Americas big cities have been dominated by the democrat party for years. One party rule engenders corruption, especially if that party oversees most aspects of the election process. The big cities are the population centers of the state, it is usually a huge hurdle for the rest of the state to overcome that advantage. Sometimes it comes down to a few votes in just a few counties to determine where all of that states presidential delegates will go.

Many years ago someone confessed to me towards the end of his life, that in his younger days he had been a player in the manipulation of votes in one of the largest cities in America. He was part of an organized operation that threw out the contents of ballot boxes and filed them with their ballots, in order to assure their party prevailed. He felt guilt and shame many years later, but at the time he felt he was doing the right thing for his city and country….Probably the same way the Ohio poll worker felt when she voted for Obama 6 times in the last election.

When democrats say there is little, or minor vote fraud in the country, they are “misspeaking.” In one big city, Philadelphia, some poll workers actually threw out members of the opposite party sent to observe voting practices in their precincts. How can we have trust in the outcome? Pennsylvania is a key state in presidential elections.

With the advent of electronic voting and counting, it not only makes it easier to manipulate our elections, it almost guarantees it, especially when you hear the lax protections in place to safeguard the systems.

First we need to clean up our nations voter rolls, get all of the dead, non existent and non citizens off the rolls who are voting. All of this should be done on a local level done under the close observation of both political parties. All registration of voters needs to be accomplished using verifiable identification.

Since absentee/electronic voting is the easiest way to manipulate/rig elections, these should be scrapped and we should require all elections be done at polling precincts using paper ballots that require to be hand counted and securely tallied….closely monitored by members of both parties.

States should also look at proportionally awarding delegates in presidential races, this will help negate the power of big city political machines that dominate an entire state.

Sadly, perhaps its time to emulate other countries who have had problems with corrupt elections: After voting dip the index finger of the voter in purple ink.
