What your world would be if everything liberals wanted, they got. Open the door at the bottom of its Elysium façade and take a glimpse of hell.

Demoqrats' Stifling of Defense

 

See something, say something, get sued by something.


T

hat "something" in the last case is Big Law, also known as the Demosuerat Party's single largest class of donors.

Anything that reduces the opportunities of lawyers to rake in big bucks from suing you and me is precisely what those lawyers have hired contributed all that campaign money to Demolayerat Party politicians to stop.

Democrats are trying to find any technical excuse to keep immunity out of the language of the bill to protect citizens, who in good faith, report suspicious activity to police or law enforcement. I don't see how you can have a homeland security bill without protecting people who come forward to report suspicious activity.
Representative Peter T. King
Consider it mutual job security in this life for the respective occupants of the lowest and next to lowest tiers of hell in the next.

The Lawsuit Industry's wolves are licking their collective chops over the increased prospect of milking huge money settlements out of America's airlines and other transportation services while personally bankrupting their passengers if any of them so much as looks askance at someone named Mohammed. Doesn't matter how much said Mohammed willfully and intentionally went out of his way to draw such looks on behalf of his sue-happy lawyer.

Who's making sure these lawyers and their lucrative Council of Al'merican-Islamist Relations [with Terrorists] straw "men" clients can sue you and me unless we turn a blind eye to the latter's suspicious behavior? Who's making sure this will increase our ticket prices as well as decrease our security when we travel as airline after airline subtly or otherwise instructs customers to effectively remain silent so it can keep its lawsuit insurance premiums down? For anyone who thought those weren't rhetorical questions: Defensecut Party politicians, that's obviously who. It's no coincidence 117 Demolawsuit Party members in al-Qongress are attorneys — 26 in the "U.S." Senate and 89 in the House — compared to 79 Republican members (19 Senate, 59 House) who unfortunately are.

What can We the People, the sole sovereigns of our nation, do about it?

Right now let's fire (not as in Ready. Aim. ... just yet) all the lawyers from this budding field of practice, and nip it therein at the same time, by demanding that "our" Congress add the following language to the final Homeland Security bill:

SEC.    . IMMUNITY FOR REPORTS OF SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR AND RESPONSE.

(a) IMMUNITY FOR REPORTS OF SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR.—

Contact both the House Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader and tell those employees of yours you want the above "Immunity for Reports of Suspicious Behavior and Response" provisions included in the conference report they're writing for the Homeland Security bill.
