‘If we continue to be politically correct then we’re going to have to have a disaster.’ This is entirely true.

A searching mandate based on age/religion/race is not a good idea. There should be people making intelligent common sense decisions based on some simple information and government name lists. If the people who get searched under this criteria don’t like it they should take it out on the organizations working to blow up the plane, not the protection system. IMHO.

Well…the worst thing we can do about this situation is to hurt somebody’s feelings. It is just wrong. We need to be doing more hugging. Hugging is good. Everyone can relate to a great big hug.

Very well put. Intelligent targeting, not blanket searching based up on race/age/religion/etc. Gotta be smart about it… not knee-jerk.

Yes, more hugging the way Bush did with his political correctness which lead to the Ft Hood shooter being promoted and passed off to the next base. Yes, more hugging. Oh, and the additional troops sent to Afghanistan. Just like Bush did after 911.

Methinks Rox needs a hug……come here ya big ole huggy bear!

Actually, it’s viewers of faux news who might need that hug. You people really make this too easy.

From The Buzz:

It’s the last day of 2009 and Fox News is turning over a new leaf.

They’re focusing on hard news and reporting and going away from the divisive drivel that has done little to further dialogue. Three cheers for progress!

…Only problem here? They’re the same old same. As Jed Lewison of Daily Kos points out, Fox’s new ad campaign could not be further from the truth

1. Fox claimed an ABC broadcast from the White House was an unprecedented use of the Presidential residence…but when Bush was President, they had done the exact same thing.

2. Fox anchor Neil Cavuto fabricated attendance figures for a Tea Party rally — and it was all caught on tape

3. Fox anchor Trace Gallagher falsely claimed that the Dow had fallen 56 points during an Obama speech. It actually went up 28 points (not that it would have been relevant even if it had gone down).

Keep watching. You’re getting stupider by the minute!

Come on….huggle up….it will all feel so much better…..I’m lovin ya, Huggy….

@roxsteady

Don’t you want to take up @Puter Boi ‘s hug offer? Puter is reaching out to you, being more compassionate and politically correct in doing so. It’s part of what you have been supporting our country do more of, right?

Maybe accepting their ‘olive branch’ will rub off on Puter Boi and they would be more open to your arguments.

Sorry but, this liberal is not interested in hugs from teabaggers! I prefer to simply bitch slap them with the one thing they hate the most. FACTS!

Well that PC/compassionate experiment didn’t work.

You want more? I know you want more so, here’s some sweet nothings from ThinkProgress:

“2000s a ‘lost decade’ for U.S. economy, workers.
The decade that just ended has been the worst for the U.S. economy in modern times by a wide range of data, with zero net job growth and the slowest rise in economic output since the 1930s. Many who stayed employed were hurt too, with middle-income families making less in 2008, when adjusted for inflation, than they did in 1999 — the first decade since the 1960s that median incomes have fallen. On balance, American families were worse off:

And the net worth of American households — the value of their houses, retirement funds and other assets minus debts — has also declined when adjusted for inflation, compared with sharp gains in every previous decade since data were initially collected in the 1950s.

“This was the first business cycle where a working-age household ended up worse at the end of it than the beginning, and this in spite of substantial growth in productivity, which should have been able to improve everyone’s well-being,” said Lawrence Mishel, president of the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal think tank.

As IHS Global Insight Chief Economist Nariman Behravesh told the Washington Post, “The problem is that we mismanaged the macroeconomy, and that got us in big trouble.” Meanwhile, Wall Street executives gave themselves an estimated $200 billion in bonuses in 2009, much of which they’ll avoid paying taxes on. The House has already passed financial regulatory reform without a single Republican vote, and some Senate GOPers have already attacked reform, despite efforts to bring them onboard”

Don’t you just love how productive this country was under Republicans? Me neither!

%ROX….. look at the two of us….. strangers in many ways…… let’s take a lifetime to say,
“I knew you well”
For only time will tell us sooooooo…. and love may grow…..for all we knowwwwwwwwwww%.

I hug…I love…..

Uh Huh! Is that like, if you can’t impress your friends with intelligence, baffle them with bullshit?

Hey! What’s up with Brit Hume? Here’s a headline from Media Matters that warmed my heart:

Hume calls on Tiger Woods to be “a great example to the world” by converting to Christianity

Really? Really? You mean like John Ensign or Mark Sanford? Does he mean the same christianity that Rick Warren spoke of in his call for $900,000 dollars for his church? He actually got 2.4 million from these idiots. This is why many believe that religion or, christianity is a scam. 2.4 million tax free? And they call Obama a socialist? Praise God and Pass the Collection plate!

Hey Rox,

I couldn’t believe that bit about Britt Hume but it seem like a natural progression for Fox News to have their analysts engaging in on-air proselytizing.

And don’t forget that David Vitter is a Christian conservative. The only mistake Tiger made was not marrying a woman more devout who wouldn’t dump his butt.

@roxsteady

It’s the same belief (religion) you have by thinking everyone would be better off by watching only MSNBC or reading the daily kos, thinkprogress, media matters. It’s not the belief (religion), it’s the person who uses that belief to make them happy or not.

Neither Christianity nor Media Matters can make you happy, but you can be happy if you want by believing in Christinaity or Media Matters. Just depends on what you (not them or it) do with the belief.

Serious question here:

I’m ‘assuming’ you’re happier now starting back in 2009. You self claimed you were a liberal. So I assume less comlaining because now your party occupys the WH, majority in both congressional houses, majority of govenors in the US.

But you still complain on the vast majority of your posts. I’ll rough guess it at 80/20. So I assume during the Bush admin and when congress held by Republicans you were less happy? Maybe thinkprogress or media matters made you 10% more happy with Dems control.

The question(s)? What does your America look like politically to make you happy to turn it around to 20/80? Can you ever be happy politically to get it to that point? Even if you can be 20/80 for 4 or 8 election years at a time. Does your belief in thinkprogress, daily kos or media matters allow that?

Two words for this article: Right On !

Wow Roxsteady !
You have some major issues and I dont think its the Fox viewers that are your problem. You must have been bullied when you were young or your mom didnt love you enough. Whatever it was, I think you better go back and check your facts and compare the lies the Liberal have been spurring. Start searching in the Global Warming department. Stupid is as Stupid does!

I can’t believe that I’m wading back into this after last night, but kudos to the Fox host.

For some reason, I don’t see her name up top and I’m not familiar enough with the FNC to even try, but if anyone knows her name, Joe should edit it into the post on the off-chance that that the Google bot will come back through and where she can get credit, where it’s due.

You did not get the full story on the Detroit bomber and his “Father”:

McInerney has just shown another example of why Air Farce generals should never be placed in charge of anything important. Never EVER send an Air Farce general to do a real general’s job.

Lots of people, including the General confuse political correctness with technical correctness. Having said that I have to agree with rmbltmbl. No, hell has not frozen over.

Daily Kos? Think Progress? Media Matters?

Oh yeah! No bias there!

I’m glad Julie was shocked, so was I. Okay what if we go into strip searching Muslims between the age of 18 & 28. Don’t you think that they will send over bombers out of that age range? Just a thought.

What’s next? Internment Camps? Who is this guy’s hero? FDR?

Mr. Coscarelli, kudos for being fair & balanced on this one, but heated host? Everybody knows it’s Julie.

Wow, This General should give advice on how to inflame the problem and undermine this effort to expunge and eradicate sovereignless terrorism, mainly undertaken by lowly, common, psychotic criminals, usually as a fringe branch of extremist Islam, the world’s second larges religion, and otherwise unconnected to 99 percet plus of Muslims.

Let me dissect a bit:
————————-
“ThinkProgress:”

You may want to start with a source (or any source, for that matter) that’s considered to be independent and unbiased.

““2000s a ‘lost decade’ for U.S. economy, workers.

Let’s play a game called spot the logical fallacy. I’ll give you a hint – you’ve conflated the following:

CORRELATION & CAUSATION

Now all you have to do is identify the fallacy to which you have fallen prey.

—————————————————————————————————————————–
Don’t you just love how productive this country was under Republicans? Me neither!
—————————————————————————————————————————–

I love how tribal your politics are. Your unwavering partisanship proves you to be a simplistic buffoon.

Ah, right, I love the claim that “weakness” or “political correctness” are the reasons people want to refuse our ever-rabid government the ability to strip search random (or racially-indicative) people.

Allow me to define “weak” for you: 200+ people on 3 out of 4 planes that can’t stop ~15 men with box cutters. That’s weak.
Again, “weak” as I understand it: Bush-era security procedures that obviously didn’t work. That’s weak.
One more time, “weak”: Assailing the hero who brought bleach and razorblades on a plane a half-decade ago to prove that the government’s security measures are a waste of time, money, and resources–when you should have been thanking the man for pulling Uncle Sam’s pants down and proving that our leaders and their plans for security are inefficient, ineffective, and built on ballooning public debt. *That’s* weak.

Now let me define “strong” for you: REFUSING to drastically change your lives and REFUSING to live in constant fear for the sake of a couple fanatical crybabies.
“Strong” again: Maintaining the FREEDOMS that we’re so proud of in this country.
“Strong” where Americans lack it most: Defending your civil liberties in the face of danger, when the decisions are difficult and when the maintenance of liberty matters most.

And to top it off, it’s an Air Force Lt. General that wants to give in to fear and vindicate the enemy’s power instead of upholding the Constitution and the rights of the people he’s pledged to serve. Yeah, that’s bile you’re tasting in the back of your throat there.

The heated host fired back — charging that America was repeating the mistakes of the past, throwing money at the problem and hoping to God we do not resort to racial profiling — and she suggested that increased security against one group could potentially be more dangerous. Award Plaques
