Homeland Security Definitions under the Obama Administration

Please take note of the following terms now used under the Obama administration. We were promised change, and we certainly got it:

When you are referring to shoe bombs, dirty bombs, suicide bombs, and commercial airlines being flown into buildings make sure you do not use the outdated word terrorism. The T-word is too inflammatory. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, whose office was created for the purpose of combating the T-word, now uses the term Man-Caused Disasters.

Please do not reference illegal immigration as reasons for favoring border security. Secretary Napolitano has made a very compelling case for border security by referencing how the 9-11 hijackers snuck into the United States through the Canadian border.

Although the administration is working so hard on moving us from the politics of fear, there are of course exceptions: They include Republicans, Conservatives, Libertarians, opponents to illegal immigration, opponents to an oversized federal government, opponents to bailouts, the pro-life movement, veterans returning from combat, and anyone who has attended a Tea Party. These deviants are known as right wing extremists. Feel free to also call them terrorists.

100 days ago, Islamic Jihadists and Somali pirates were the enemy. Today, I'm on Homeland Security's watch list.

Let's Negotiate with Criminals

So the Obama administration is going around making sure the Somali pirates are being classified as criminals, because the word "terrorist" has been completely eliminated from Washington the day our President was inaugurated. Unfortunately, only the word went went away.

But fine, if you want to call these guys criminals rather than terrorists, let's just pay them 2 million, and get the captain the hell out of there. We don't negotiate with terrorists, but we surely negotiate with criminals. Just look at how Congress has been meeting with Wall Street. We have criminals negotiating with criminals all the time.

Once we get him back, shoot them out of the water. In fact, why aren't we fitting all of our cargo ships, cruise ships, and other non military water transportation with machine gun turrets and a trained security force to prevent this from happening?

Even if we don't shoot them out of the water, what's 2 million? We're just printing it anyway.
