A Pack, Not A Herd
A Mauritanian pilot and his passengers foiled a hijacking.
Has there been a successful hijacking since 911? I don't think so. I don't think anyone will be able to pull it off again.

I don't know if you'd consider this one successful or not, but it happened last year.

Unless the passengers are all Democrats.

So if all you republicans are so convinced about your
honor courage and bravery, how come you all
so meekly surrendered your sacred liberty to
cowardly george and the fascist state?
If you believe this crap, then why did you
surrender to the TSA and all that stupid
Nail file nonsense?
Name one republican who said the TSA was stupid
and tried to do something about it?

Actually, I think there was a pretty long list.
The whole TSA thing was a D-focused plan to make a new federal department and instantly unionize it. Without background checks.
The only Republican senator I can document after just a second of research is McCain. (He seems to always nip around to the front of the parade for some reason.)
The complaint about 'rights on a plane' is a little out of date though, we've already surrendered _all_ of those long, long ago. The Captain & flight crew are effectively running a small section of martial law around in the skies.

Anonymous Moron needs to have the definition of "fascist state" explained to him.
With a large club.Repeatedly.

Sure McCain said something.
What got done? How come my nail file is in federal custody?
What republican stood up and said "The american people
have a right to a tube of toothpaste"
Nope, they all marched in lockstep

Hangin' with Benny must have been a blast. That boy could swing.

It's ironic how the neo-cons deny they are fascists
while waving torches, and swinging clubs.
