Collectivist Fight

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano decided to step out from the lumpy shadow cast by “fellow” invisible Obama acolyte Rodham and she gave a little pep talk about terrorism. “Big Sis” as she is known in some quarters, (“Big Bro” seems more apropos..) “urged all Americans to join a collective fight against terrorism..” Groovy. It would be more appropriate if she would have asked the liberals to finally get around to joining the fight against terrorism.. The real “American people” have been on board since September 11, 2001..

Even when it comes to terrorism and the defense of this country and its allies, the liberals can’t help but speak in their default “populist” tones. In, “Security Chief Urges ‘Collective Fight’ Against Terrorism” (Washington Post) Napolitano mentions the “collective” fight and “burden-sharing”. A “collectivist fight” or a fight “against collectivism” seems as pressing a matter these days to the “real Americans.” When it comes to terrorism, which “terrorist act” has caused more jobs to disappear, the coordinated attacks on the Twin Towers or the coordinated attacks upon capitalism by the liberal oligarchs since January?

Napolitano can at least see the writing on the wall. She is calling for all of this “burden-sharing” from the American people because her “boss” has been stealing everything that isn’t nailed down in order to “fund” his fiascoes. “The threat has not abated and (Napolitano) outlined an approach that emphasizes burden-sharing as federal spending and political support for post Sept. 11 security measures wane.” Obama has pilfered trillions to “pay” for “Marxist Motors” and the like, but protecting America and its citizens, something that is ACTUALLY PART OF THE CONSTITUTION now falls under “burden-sharing”.

This point needs to be driven home with a sledgehammer: Other than the Democrats, who else is waning on the “political support” front relative to terrorism? NO ONE.

Dancing as briskly as she could while trying as hard as possible to put some kind of spin on the ball, Napolitano said, “Has the U.S. government done everything it can to educate and engage the American people? The answer is ‘no’”.. Madame Secretary, if I may..

The Islamic terrorists “educated” everyone in the United States on September 11^th. Since then it has been people like your “boss” who have said that there is too much “flag waving” going on. It is people like your “boss” who think that the yearly recognition of that dark day is getting to be “too much”.. Its people like your “boss” who have accused the “American people” of “Islamophobia” when they have become “engaged”.. Ma’am, you have your work cut out for you.. If I might add, the more appropriate question would have be: “has the Obama administration done everything it can?” NOOOOOOOOOO..

James Jay Carafano analyst from the Heritage Foundation, said that at Napolitano’s last speech before the House (02/25/09) she never mentioned the word “terrorism”. He said that during this speech, she mentioned the word “terrorism” twenty three times. There are probably a few very good reasons for that statistical anomaly.

Her first speech was given approximately one month into the Obama foray into fascism. Back then, the leftists had just begun their next assault upon the middle class and the liberals were all still intoxicated by the aroma of their own flatulence. All of the “polls” that were read to Obama each morning as he had his daily “mirror, mirror on the wall” moment were all in favor of this “historic” president. His communist cauldron had not yet come to a boil as his Democratic minions were all pumping the bellows of rhetoric upon the glowing embers of Bolshevism. That was just about the time when the liberals decided that the “war on terror” was silly. (However, not as silly as their “war on poverty” which has taken more lives and cost trillions more.. File under: “Democratic Domestic Terrorism”.)

Now the “polls” have begun reflecting upon the realism of the “Obamanomic nightmare” and the perpetual stranglehold the liberal form of government places upon the middle class. The rubble from this terrorist attack will smolder for generations.. There is a “change” in the air. It is again become time for the left to metaphorically “run to the middle”. Mind you, this Democratic dash usually takes place about six months before a major election. This totalitarian tub thumping, this fascist Feng shui fools no one, but the liberals have no choice but to resort to it months ahead of schedule due to the lengthy litany of Obama failures.

If the Secretary mentioned the word “terrorism” twenty three times in her speech, all that I have to say to that is “talk is cheap.” According to the Secretary herself, with Obama in power talk had better be cheap because that is all that her department can possibly afford..

“More than dollars, the nation needs the active engagement of employers”. With the Democratic depth charges placed within the nation’s economic waters, the Secretary should have just sent this message out as an internal email because with all of the Obama “takeovers”, the government is about the only “employer” left.. Madame Secretary, “dollars” are VERY important in the war on terror. The nation weeps that you have such an important job to do when your organization has been left with the budgetary equivalent of two tin cans and a string..

Napolitano must be trying her best to sound the alarms and clang the bells. “The consequences of living in a state of fear, rather than a state of preparedness, are enormous.” With the Obama targeted decimation of the economy that is being laughingly being passed off as a “stimulus” or “saving the economy” (according to Rahm Emanuel), it seems that the bulk of the Obama administration is living in either a state of confusion or a state of denial. The Secretary’s logic falls upon Democratic deaf ears. With ears the size of Obama’s, he should be able to hear a whisper from across the country. He and his wrecking crew are obviously ignoring the Secretary’s sound advice in order to create “Homeland Insecurity”.

When the Secretary of Homeland Security says, “we are nowhere near as prepared as we need to be”, that is a sign.. With the Democratic proclivity towards hysteria as a conditioned response, why aren’t there any hysterics over something as serious as this? Why all the histrionics over such moony malarkey as “Globaloney Warming” and “The Health Scare” when the Homeland Security Director is being as blunt as this?

Madame Secretary, were the “worst” to happen, “real Americans” would know where to place the blame, as will Obama. It will just be another “mess” that he “inherited”..
