The system worked

Dear Janet Napolitano (Big Sister),

The terrorist, who was on a watch list, paid cash for a one way ticket with no bags and got on a plane with no Identification. He flew in to the United States and was able to detonate his device. It was only for fellow passengers that he was subdued and the system worked. His own father called to warn U.S. officials about his son's terrorist plot to which no one was able to stop him. The system worked.

Which system worked? The one where 90-year-old grandmothers are searched before entering flights? The one where families who bought round trip tickets by credit card in advance are pulled out of line to be screened? The system worked.

Maybe it was the system that says that my 3oz of hand sanitizer cannot travel with me. That I cannot bring in outside food or drink and have to pay prices at airports. Because would be terrorists do not watch the news. We are on the lookout for anyone with a 6oz tube of medicated skin cream. Because it is the item that identifies those who wish to do us harm and not the individuals themselves. The system worked.

The system worked after passengers subdued the “suspect”. The TSA sprung in to action and notified all of the other planes in the air that airport screeners, federal agencies, and who ever is in charge of the 500,000 name list wasn't doing their jobs. Pilots and crews were made aware to look for suspicious activity; by I am sure a 90 yr old grandmother because ethnic profiling is wrong.

Now you want to bring the terrorist to a U.S. prison. Read him his rights that you have just given him. Rights that he did not have before he tried to kill U.S. citizens. Take him to a city in the U.S. with the highest Muslim population and people who cheered the 9/11 attackers and give him a trial by his peers? Are you going to ensure that he has a jury of 12 anti-American terrorist sympathizers so that he can see that the system works?

How about keeping us safe? How about using that list of 500,000 names to restrict travel? How about the system that let's us know that while we sleep at night, work to support our families, and travel someone is protecting us.

No, the system that did work was politics as usual. When you appeared and made a stupid statement. Then you had to retract your statement. Then Robert Gibbs made a stupid statement. Then President Obama had to make an appearance because he was on vacation, again, when the incident happened. Then the president had to act upset. Which I am sure he was upset. He was on vacation and left idiots in charge. Now the final step in the system will be to blame Bush. The system worked.

Maybe if the terrorists claimed that they wanted to stop healthcare reform you would be more likely to stop them. Until you are willing to protect us, I suppose we will have to continue to be vigilant citizens and guard ourselves. Hopefully we will remain on watch in the 2010 and 2012 election and vote out those who want to do us harm.

Thank you for your service to your country,

Now Please Leave.

Have yourself a merry little...

Harry Reid,

Merry Christmas. I know that in the past liberals have shunned that phrase. Trying to replace the phrase with the generic "Happy Holidays" or "Bah Humbug". However this year, I think that you will be more accepting.

I would like to bring you thanks for your gift to the American People. This was not an easy task. Like Santa, you have worked around the clock and through the night to make this possible. You have given America the largest Christmas Gift that you could bring, $2.5 trillion in spending over the next 10 years, government entitlements where there were none, and hope to illegals.

It is the gift that keeps on taking. We will get to start paying for out new gift after the holidays, even though we will not use any benefit for years.

It is with your gift that "We the People" will now be able to be accessory to the murder of out children regardless of personal belief. It is with your gift that individuals who choose to not purchase health care will now face a sort of "debtors prison". Never before has an individual had the benefit of choosing between prison and the doctor.

In our many thanks for imposing your will on us I must leave you with one final question. If the new health care coverage is so good and comprehensive, why is it that members of Congress and their families are exempt?

Hopefully in 2010, we will be able to reciprocate you overly generous gift. We would like to give you the gift of retirement and President Obama the gift of a Republican majority Congress. Now that is change you can believe in.

Your friend,

Better late then never, maybe

Dear President Obama,

Your teleprompter delivered a good speech last night and you read it with conviction. You left many questions unanswered however. Now comes the test to see if you have the resolve to follow up with the words that you spoke. This message was long over due. We need to show the Wolrd that America has the fortitude to finish what it started. That we will not give in to terrorists even if we give them a much softer name and want to bestow Constitutional Rights upon them.

The left wing of your party, your core base, is not pleased with this message. Michael Moore has stated that your actions will make you a "War" President. Senator Baucus has stated that he will do everything in his power to see that this cannot be funded. This is the test of your Presidency however. You will be measeured not by failing to pass Health Care Reform and causing the greatest Nation Debt that any generation has ever seen, but by your ability to get out of the way and allow Our great men and women in uniform to preform their job duties and defend Our Nation.

While you campaigned in the center, we all know too well that when you speak off the cuff that you drift to the far left. You think that we should "spread" the wealth around a little and that entitlements should be given by the Constitution. However, this is your time to show that Politics are second to National Defense. This is your greatest opportunity to show that the lives of American Citizens and our saftey is your number one priority.

That being said, we the people will now return to our Domestic Contigency Celebration. Or as we still like to call it, Christmas.

God Bless,

Politically Accurate

Dear Liberals,

Thank you for taking the time to create a society where not only are people not responsible for their actions, but are given extra consideration for them. The inability to call a spade a spade does not promote anything. Your mollycoddling of society only benefits your own justification to exist.

Political correctness is one example of your over protection. The "War on Terror" had to be changed to an "Over Seas Contigency Operation." "Terrorism" is now called "Man Caused Disaster". Criminals are treated like the victim. This Political Correctness is neither Political nor Correct. I suggest that we replace Political Correctness with Politically Accurate.

To try to better explain how your actions are not positive I will use Politically Accurate Nursery Rhymes to speak on your level and explain what is REALLY happening today.

London Bridge is falling down,
falling down,
falling down,
London Bridge is falling down,
and it is estimated the the Federal Recovery Act will have created or saved 4 million jobs repairing it over the next 3 years,
my fair lady

The was an old woman who swallowed a fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly,
she attempted to use the government provided health care was put on a 6 month waiting list to be seen by a doctor and tried home remedies in the meantime,
I guess she'll die

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe;
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do;
She gave them some broth without any bread;
Then applied for government assistance now you and I feed, cloth, and educate her children with our tax dollars


In short, please leave the important decisions to those who can and are willing to make them. Though decisions need though leaders not community organizers.

The People Have Spoken

Dear President Obama,


Yesterday’s elections proved that your approval and public support is dropping faster than Bill Clinton’s pants. You are desperately trying to define your administration as the bringers of change. Through all of your past days the “Right Wing Nuts” have spouted time and time again how you have failed. However, I would like to point out one good thing that you have done. You have united the Republican base and brought moderates back to the Right.

You fellow party members in Congress should share in my thanks. For without them, this would not have been possible. Their referendum on America in Health Care helps Americans see the difference in the Parties. Especially with the almost, and by now probably exceeding, two thousand page Bill that they plan to present. The Republicans also have a Health Care Bill. However, theirs is a mere two hundred and thirty pages.

If we were to give these Bills titles the Republican Bill I would think would be called “Sense and Sensibility” while the Democrat version would be “Pride and Prejudice.” However, possibly “Frankenstein” would be a more appropriate title. As, it has been put together piecemeal by people mad with power creating a sort of uncontrollable monster.

Do not worry, when you are down and feeling like no one in America is on your side you can always go to the United Nations. Foreign Dictators seem to enjoy your company as it apparently gives them a sense of power knowing that the American President will bow to foreign kings. Please stay as long as you like.

Tricked Not Treated

Dear President Obama,

Now that we have almost come a full year from your election to office we realize that the joke is on us. The love affair with Middle America is over and now people are expecting actual results, not just campaign rhetoric. You campaigned on bringing change, but never would say what that meant.

Yes you did. You brought change. More Americans are out of jobs than when you were elected. Iran has admitted to a nuclear program since your election. The dollar has dropped in value. You became the first Nobeal Peace Prize winner to not have done anyhting. You bought the Olympics to Chicago.

You are busy fighting a war. A more dangerous and conniving enemy than the United States has ever seen before. That's right, Fox News. However it seems that allies on that front are harder to convince than in the "Overseas Contingency Operation." Even France can'tback the War on Fox News.

Your latest Trick is Obamacare. Trying to fool the American people in to giving up our Rights to choose. This is your first step to the Socialisation of America and moving to One Wolrd Government. Being President of the Greatest Nation on Earth is not enough for you, you are trying to be President of the Wolrd and Dictator to America.

You can keep your entitlements. You can keep your taxes. You can keep your Government Programs. We'll keep America.


Happy Halloween,

Happy Anniversary Osama from Obama

Dear President Obama,

As an American Citizen, I am proud to see that your administration is dealing with matters of National Security in a timely manner. Your first year has not been easy. I understand that it has been quite difficult. No other President in American history has had to face challenges in their first year. But, now that the stimulus worked, health care is on it's way to being resolved, guns are off the streets in Chicago, the Olympics are coming, you can attend to the small matter of the war.

It seems that General McChrystal has unreasonable expectations. He expects for you to meet with him more than once a year to discuss military operations. I am glad to see that you explained that a new strategy to win the war must first be decided. No one can expect for you to have read his 66 page repot with all of the reading that you had to first do with the 451 page bailout, 1071 page stimulus, and multiple healthcare bills.

With public opinion gaining momentum for a troop surge, maybe we can get something done. Possibly as many as 50,000 Peace Corps, 4H, and Habitat for Humanity works could be sent in the next surge. We have the opportunity for a teachable moment.

Once you are done passing out white jackets for a photo-op with "doctors" for healthcare, maybe they can stay and put on camouflage jackets for the next picture. After all, with your busy schedule when was the last time you visited the Troops anyways?


Sincerely,

Jason Sanborn
