Herodian logic
Turns out that the Nigerian terrorist, Abdul bin Mohammed bin Abdul bin Mohammed bin Abdul, was already on a watch list.
Unusually, perhaps uniquely, his own father apparently tipped off authorities. This may be the first time in history that a Mohammedan showed real concrete opposition to al-Qaeda.
And what did our fucking idiot authorities do with this
courageously given information, which might have risked the father's life?
NOTHING AT ALL. THEY DIDN'T DO SHIT. THEY ALLOWED THE SON TO GO AHEAD WITH HIS DEADLY TERRORIST ACT. No, I take it back. They are doing something. They're clamping down on security for EVERYONE ELSE. This won't slow down other terrorists, of course, because they will still be waved on through just as Abdul bin Mohammed bin Abdul bin Mohammed bin Abdul was waved on through, and just as Nidal Hasan was waved on through. We all know that Mohammedans are NEVER the source of trouble, so we must give them royal privileges.
Herod would have appreciated this form of governance. When he suspected that the King of Jews was going to be born, he killed all the male babies but missed the new King.
More to the point, Sheikh Osama
currently loves this form of governance. His
goal is to keep Americans afraid while draining our money and destroying our morale. And our totally infiltrated and subverted "government" is continuing to do his job with utter loyalty and perfection, under Obama just as it was under Bush.

Remember the quote on the top icon: Futility is the nemesis of democracy.
The people are doing all the right things (paying taxes, voting, obeying laws) ... while the rewards and privileges flow to people who do all the wrong things (Wall Street robber barons, Chinese robber barons, Arab robber barons, Arab terrorists) ... while the people have to endure joblessness, decreasing income, deteriorating order, increasing regulation, constant insults to their religion and morals ... Sooner or later something snaps.
Roosevelt understood this and worked to break out of futility. He couldn't bring back prosperity for the good people immediately, but he made sure that the bad people were punished
first. Obama speaks the FDR
words, but continues the Bush
policy of punishing families and massively rewarding evildoers.
