Judge Napolitano – Forget The Constitution: DEA’s Questionable Relationship with NSA

About that Boston thing: America, I have some questions.

On Eagle’s Wings

This may tick off some folks. If that’s you, I don’t apologize but feel free to write your disagreement in the comments. As long as they aren’t vulgar or threatening, I’ll leave them in place because I’m a grown up and can handle criticism.

I’ve been in the media for many years now. Most of that time has been spent on the news side of the business. I’ve been a reporter, an anchor, a host and an interviewer. I’ve been in politics from time to time but got out of activism a few years ago. Since then, I’ve avoided making political comments on Facebook or Twitter and hope this isn’t considered a political statement. It’s designed to be something about culture.

In the news business, we often brag about our role that demands we ask the tough questions of those in charge. There’s quite a bit of self-importance felt in newsrooms, to be honest. That’s because we feel we’re called to hold important people accountable for their decisions and we’re supposed to be generally skeptical of things.

So, I want to question some very important people…you. The American people.

Shh! TSA Wants to Touch Your Kids

Our  Federal Government continues to ignores the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights………………..

but you’re not allowed to document it.  Like your “special secret”with the “Inappropriate Uncle” division of the federal government, that you’re not allowed to share with other grown-ups (they’d just accuse you of lying and trying to get attention anyway).

Historical fact: Independence Day is a celebration of freedom from government tyranny

(NaturalNews)
Happy July 4th, my fellow Americans. It’s the Independence Day weekend!
Independence from what, you might ask? As even the somewhat revisionist history
taught in public schools readily admits, July 4th is a celebration of
independence from government tyranny under British rule.

And what
kind of government tyranny, specifically? Well, the kind that involves
warrantless searches of peoples’ homes, where government agents could just waltz
right into your private home for no reason and conduct a search without even
getting a court-issued warrant. That was a form of government terrorism
waged against the people, and when the USA declared its independence from
British rule, it adopted a new rule at home that specifically forbade such
tyrannical government actions.

Trusted Traveler Program Lets Mexicans Skip Airport Security

Judicial Watch

As violent drug cartels take over Mexico and expand their criminal enterprises north, the United States has signed a “trusted traveler” agreement that allows pre-screened Mexican airline passengers to bypass lengthy airport security checkpoints.

The foreigners will get “trusted traveler cards” with fingerprints and other biometric data and they must answer customs declarations questions on touch-screen kiosks before leaving airport inspection areas. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano claims it’s a way to enhance information sharing and mutual security in the face of “ever-evolving, multinational threats.”

Profiling Works

According to Wikipedia

The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. The amendment specifically also requires search and arrest warrants be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. It was adopted as a response to the abuse of the writ of assistance, which is a type of general search warrant, in the American Revolution. Search and arrest should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court, usually by a law enforcement officer, who has sworn by it.

In Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961), the Supreme Court ruled that the Fourth Amendment applies to the states by way of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Supreme Court has also ruled that certain searches and seizures violated the Fourth Amendment even when a warrant was properly granted.

So now the government is saying they can search you without a warrant and some of you think that’s okay. Where is this going to end? Little by little our freedoms are being taken away and the terrorist are telling the government what to do. I know, you think I’ve lost it, but wait a minute. Wasn’t there a mad shoe bomber? Shortly after, we had to remove our shoes before getting on a plane. Then last year we had the underwear bomber, we now have x-ray scanners and body searches. Where is it going to end, or is it? Freedom of speech is being taken away because some member of Congress or Obama doesn’t like Fox News? Your guns are being taken away because the government is afraid you might fight back when you realize they have gone to far?

Remember the 9/11 hijackers? Can you pick out the 85-year-old grandmother, or the 3-year-old little boy, or the Nun? No you can’t. Everyone of them were Muslim men between the ages of 25-40. That is where our focus should be. If you are Muslim, if your name is Mohammed, or you just came from the Middle East, you’re going to be checked and searched. Is this profiling? Damn right it is and you know why people are afraid of it? Because it Works.
