This Stupid 9/11 Commission
I really hate these people. The notion of a Democrat, much less 3 of them, participating in an inquiry into government policies that may have "allowed" 9/11 to occur is downright asinine. Democrats have no credibility on terrorism, foreign policy, or frankly anything other than oral sex and how to drown a mistress of the coast of Massachusetts. Of course, in New America (I think I'm going to run with this term) credibility is a luxury. All you need is a suit and a jackass with a television show and your "voice" is considered an important part of the "debate."
Well guess what? There doesn't need to be a debate. I can tell you what needs to be fixed about pre-9/11 national security policy. Here's a thumbnail sketch of some of the key initiatives:
1. End the law enforcement approach to fighting terrorism.
2. Racially profile.
3. Deport all illegal immigrants.
4. Institute a short-term moratorium and a long-term drastic reduction in legal immigration.
5. Elect presidents concerned more with national security than with their wankers and midnight basketball leagues.
6. Stop electing nihilistic, dishonest morons (for any foreign readers, in America we call these people "Democrats") to public office.
7. Stop coddling Middle Eastern mafia states like Syria.
8. Stop funding anti-American Middle East studies programs at our country's universities.
9. Go to hell.
See, do we need a commission to come up with these ideas? Of course not. We need a commission to make noise at the president during an election year and increase the odds that some wimpy 60s hippie reject gets elected in November. Fantastic. And through it all, Republicans play along as if they are engaged in some serious policy inquiry in which they have mere "differences of opinion" with the bad guys. When will Republicans learn never to trust Democrats? When will conservatives learn never to trust Republicans?
