Where's the Outcry?

Hello? We have complete control of who gets on an American Carrier coming to the US as well as anyone coming to the US on any other carrier. Besides the no fly list it's a thing called a Visa and no I don't mean the charge card.

Part of the whole problem, as admitted by Obama himself is that the information that the CIA had on the guy didn't go anywhere and this terrorist didn't make it onto a no fly list.

Inexperience is actually not so important as a few other attributes in my opinion at least.

1-Know what you know but more importantly what you don't know - The current President doesn't know a lot but talks as if he's an expert on most every thing.

2-Have the ability to recognize that your not the smartest person in the room and surround yourself with people that are smarter than you. - The current President thinks he's the smartest one in the room and has surrounded himself with yes men, puppets and hangers on. Henry Ford was criticized more than once for not being the sharpest knife in the drawer but he told people he didn't have to be so long as he surrounded himself with good people. He was right.

3-Have a fundamental understanding of history and what has made this country great and kept it safe. - The current President doesn't have a clue. He has a warped sense of history that has him apologizing to the rest of the world for our success.

4-Experience is important so I'm not discarding it, just saying it's not necessarily at the top of my list. - Here to though the current President is a dismal failure. We have a Chief Executive Officer, in charge of the only superpower left in the world, and he's never managed anything, never held a job in the private sector as an adult, never attempted to run a business, nothing. No big surprise we're getting what we're getting.

Typical arrogance of the left to think that I'm too stupid to know what's going on because I happen to like to listen to someone that tells the truth and bothers to document it. It just so happens that I listen to Beck and Limbaugh because they happen to agree with me for the most part, not the other way around.

For the record, I got my information on this from the AP, CNN, ABC and FOX as well as the Internet news sources. To my knowledge Obama has yet to decry this as an actual terrorist attack or treat it this way. If he did he would be treating this guy and the bunch from Guitmo as the prisoners of war that they are once apprehended rather than as local crooks.

What I was really pointing out was the continuing double talk and double standard of yourself and others on the left. Bush lied to us. He fabricated facts and reasons to justify his actions (but somehow, magically those things did prevent another attack) but Obama is wise just unlucky and his failures were not his own but a systemic problem within the system (but somehow magically we've been attacked twice now within a year, one successful and the other foiled by passengers, not the government).

The real purpose of screaming terror attack is to try to get people to remember that these people want us dead. They don't want to negotiate with us.  They don't want to live in peace with us. The ONLY way to win is to get them to their 72 virgins in heaven as quickly as possible as this is the only thing they really seem to have to live and die for.

As to the system, both under Bush and Obama money that has been spent has had very little to do with safety but more along the lines of making us feel safe. It's one reason I complained to Homeland Security within it's first year of existence. I don't fly unless forced, not because I'm worried about my safety, but rather because I can't stand the stupidity that goes for safety precautions in the airport.

Bush did a lot of things wrong but at least the guy recognized that we're at war. Obama seems to think if he just apologizes long enough for our past sins that the world will love us again. The fact is they will love us again, as soon as they need our protection again as we're the only ones with the gumption and resources left to do it; for now.

The fact that you don't or can't seem to acknowledge the fact that Glen (and he's not the only one) actually document what they report unlike the CBS, ABC and NBCs of the world who have been caught on more than one occasion fabricating the news to fit what they wanted to report, tells me quite a bit about where you fit into the political spectrum. If you disagree give me something that Glen has reported on of late that he has documented and is wrong about.

As to the double talk you are apparently the one in the dark since I heard Obama in his own words talk about the larger conspiracy behind what happened. This guy was not a loner. He was part of a larger movement and not seeing that is puttin one's head in the sand.

The fact is I happen to listen to all sides that make sense. It doesn't make sense to me to give this country away or to continue to apologize for the past or to try to appease those that don't like us because history says it won't work. You won't listen to the Glen Becks of the world because they present you with black and white facts that have nothing to do with how someone feels. Obama is a great president in the eyes of the left because he has great intentions.

I'm supposed to take you as credible in debating me when you call Glen Beck a "Nut Job" but you've never listened to him, never read anything he's written. Just going off his reputation from the left who doesn't like him embarrasing them on a pretty regular basis.

To say that al-Qaeda as a group wasn't responsible for Detroit just because there was only one attack is just, well it's just being foolish and a perfect example of why Obama is so dangerous, although even he recognizes the bigger picture in this case.

As to Obama apologizing for the past, how many links should I post to him making apologies for our past sins. His first trip overseas after assuming office was nothing more than an apology tour. For someone that is supposedly keeping up with the news you don't seem to know a lot about what's going on out there, or you're just turning a blind eye to it.

Lastly, what I said was the the difference in the Glen Becks of the world is that they see the world and report on it in black and white (we believe in absolutes). The left tends to see and report in shades of grey, unless reporting on the right. It's all about someones intentions and how they feel in situations. Just take our home grown terrorist for instance from the Ft. Hood shooting. The left still won't call him a terrorist, he's the "alledged shooter" and we're supposed to look deeper and understand why he shot all those people. Glen Beck and I would be on the side of the guy's a terrorist, he mowed down innocent people because he decided to. There's no reason to try to understand why he decided to the fact is it doesn't matter why he decided to. There's nothing that ever happened to him at any time in his life that justified the taking of innocent lives. That's the difference and if you can't see that or won't accept that this difference exists then I don't know how to help you I'm afraid.

Document it or shut up!. There isn't one single documented misrepresentation that I'm aware of on anything that Glen has reported on. If you have it put it out there and we can discuss it right along side Dan Rather making up news to report on Bush or NBC fabricating test on pickup trucks or a few others that can be easily documented.

This wasn't a blog about Glen Beck but I'm sick and tired of folks that are scared to death of the truth throwing crap around as means of deflection rather than dealing with the truth. It is true that a concerted effort was mounted against Glen Beck and Fox News for that matter that started in the White House itself. This came about after Glen exposed Van Jones for who he is. However it failed and failed miserably. Glen hasn't missed a beat other than being out for his appendix and is as big or bigger now than before.

If you want to have a debate on Glen Beck start your own blog. If that's the best you can do in response to what I wrote then please stay out of it. I used Glen in the very last sentence and what I used wasn't even in reference to the blog, just an adjective to describe my feelings.

Sorry to have been somewhat harsh in my last response but I'm sick and tired of people throwing things out and calling people names when they don't have a clue what they're talking about. In the last instance here are the facts about Glen Beck and its the last I intend to say on him within this strand. There were about a dozen (far less than 100 unless you're using new math) that pulled advertising from the Glen Beck program. Not one single advertiser pulled their advertising from FOX News meaning not $1 was lost in advertising revenue to FOX News. They just asked that they're advertising money be spent on other shows. Glen Beck, best I know still has the same number of advertisers as before this campaign was waged, meaning that there was $0 that means NO money lost to the Glen Beck program.
