Morons of the highest order

David Brooks of the New York Times inspires Glenn Greenwald and Alan Colmes to call Americans names for demanding that our government do it’s best to keep us safe. Brooks first;

History is not knowable or controllable. People should be grateful for whatever assistance that government can provide and had better do what they can to be responsible for their own fates.

That mature attitude seems to have largely vanished. Now we seem to expect perfection from government and then throw temper tantrums when it is not achieved. We seem to be in the position of young adolescents — who believe mommy and daddy can take care of everything, and then grow angry and cynical when it becomes clear they can’t.

Greenwald’s echo;

…the national reaction has been to this latest terrorist episode, egged on — as usual — by the always-hysterical American media. The citizenry has been trained to expect that our Powerful Daddies and Mommies in government will — in that most cringe-inducing, child-like formulation — Keep Us Safe. Whenever the Government fails to do so, the reaction — just as we saw this week — is an ugly combination of petulant, adolescent rage and increasingly unhinged cries that More Be Done to ensure that nothing bad in the world ever happens.

Colmes just nods like a good Leftist bobblehead.

I’ll just remind the three morons that the Constitution charges the government to “provide for the common defense” – it doesn’t say to pass out food stamps or had out cash from one part of our society to another. It doesn’t tell the government to determine the minimum width of theater seats. It certainly doesn’t tell the government to tax the living shit out of people in California to pay for new guard rails in Maryland’s hinterlands. Nor does it mandate that the federal government stick it’s fingers in huge car companies and huge banks.

How. Dare. You. Three. Retards. Call. Us. Names?

When the government was warned no less than twice (once by the bomber’s own father…by name) that this shit stain was planning something, and the government couldn’t summon the testicular fortitude to actually stop him. When they were following Hasan’s trail to terror, when they were trailing Carlos Bledsoe and couldn’t stop him. This isn’t a case of one terrorist slipping through – it’s the latest in a series that have slipped through since January.

Brooks, of course, thinks that Napolitano is innocent because it’s the system that’s flawed;

There have been outraged calls for Secretary Janet Napolitano of the Department of Homeland Security to resign, as if changing the leader of the bureaucracy would fix the flaws inherent in the bureaucracy.

Well, it’s a start. Napolitano’s demonstrated incompetency over the last year certainly doesn’t deserve one more penny from the tax payers.
