Whats the problem? I say let him mail letters to all his terrorist buddies.

All we have to do is look at the address he's sending them to and we have a new lead for the War on Terror.

We can send the mailman with a special package: an AR-15 and zip-ties

FlyersFan et al,

All I can say at this dismal point is, "I'm glad the shoe bomber didn't shove it down his pants instead."

We'd all be dropping trou at the airport, and it's big enough pain inne adz to have to take off your belt and shoes.

I fly about once a week, and I'm seriously thinking about a double-loop of 1/4" braided nylon rope instead of a belt.

Ironic that......... a more formidable weapon that anything that I've ever seen thrown away at the airport.

I remember when airport security "seized" a small Swiss-Army tool from my Bride because it had a 1 1/4" plastic toothpic. oooooooooooo! Tweezers, I understand. They can be bent into a variety of tools. Eyelash curlers???

Rant, rant, rave, kickrock.

Yes put them in civilian prisons with the general population and see how long they last.

Or better yet...put them in regular prison and SEE HOW MANY THEY CONVERT TO ISLAM. Not implying that converting to Islam would spawn terrorists from inside prision...right???

Only idiots fear morons like Richard Reid.

Only cowards bow down to fear. The war on terror is a freakin' joke.

I don't know you Flyer's fan but I can honestly say that I do not like you at all. You have espoused fear and hatred ever since you've been on here.

I can't respect people with an opinion that fears dying.

It seems that you suffer from a fear phobia which is usually present in little children. Like many "children" in young USA, I'll give you that, you don't know better. But being an "adult", you should know better. All of you should know this!

R. Reid is less than a patsy. There are many more people that are smarter and capable to harming you within your own govment. This ain't conspiracy garbage, it's all right out there in front of you. Time and time again it's there, but you don't want to see it. Just like an ignorant school child, you can't see it because you refuse to experience it.

I'm sure I'll get banned or warned for this rant like I always do. Mods, do the dirty.

all i have to say is good let them spit them up and put them in the prison system one by one. i was in for 2 years. the big racial thing is going on. and no matter if there muslims or not. i dont think the what are they called here the mo bides or something. they are a big thing in michigan prisons and they wont bring anyone in that is not black and muslim. and also there will be some guy thats wants to make a name for him slf in there and say he killed so an so just like dahmer was killed. so sure go for it let them through them in and be in general pop. they wont last long. thats my 2 cents

There is a common theme that seems to have been developed. Same posters and same ideologies perpetually spewing the same nonsense in different forms. Their opinions are not based on objective thought processes, but the same political babel their FOX news and Rush Limbaugh rhetoric gods spew at them.

While it is common the President will make appointments according to his party lines, people with extreme ideologies (such as the OP is with the extreme right) act like this is some wild out of the ordinary action. It is common practice in every new administartion, and it is well understood that it will happen.

The difference in rhetoric is the extremism that is plainly apparent in OPs such as this one. They wish to highlight pieces of the puzzle to fit their agenda. As well placed criticism is good for any objective thinking individual to help mold rational views of the political world that envelopes us all most of these types of thread move well pass healthy forms of criticism.

For example. The OPs opinion:

The Obama administration is letting him.

'Worship' ... or plot further jihad?
'Correspondence' ... or plot further jihad?
It's a safe bet that it's 'plot further jihad'

So, in essence the OP is alluding to the fact she thinks Obama is letting terrorists plan terrorism in our own prisons or "plot Jihad". Therefore making Obama complicit in any future terrorist acts against the U.S.

In this new form of extremism people believe none of these individuals who have been taken into custody deserve a fair trial to determine there guilt or innocence. This is mind boggling and a new form of political ideological extremism that is unparalleled. It is well beyond what any of us have ever been taught and is beyond unacceptable. It has been drilled into some peoples head that justice can only be brought by the barrel of a M-16. Traditional means of bringing a criminal to justice is no longer sufficient and anyone seeking to do harm to the U.S. must be dealt with by torture, mass bombings and secret prisons. Court rooms, judges and Habeas Corpus seem to be a thing of the past in some of these extreme individuals minds.

This kind of thinking is rampant in the South and South East where they are very susceptable to the neo- conservative views because of a long standing tradition of following the GOP and their honorable traditions of state rights. While this sort of extremism is not isolated to the right it has been taken in and accepted within communities that inherintly are evangelical. Thus creating the Obama is the antiChrist rhetoric and therefore must be something other than Christian and not worth the position that has been granted to him by the American people. And since he could be the anti-Christ he must be Muslim or anything other than Christian again making him an inferior leader. The author of this thread has stated such things herself in other threads.

This style of political pandering is mainly conjured up by opposing political parties, and their pawns (such as Fox news and their constituents for the right and MSNBC and their constituents for the left ) used as whipping boys to spread the 'good news' to the rest of the troops.

This thread is a great example of this effect.

Having people, ideas and organizations in opposition to the current party that holds power is of the utmost importance for any country striving for a balance in government, but the hate that has been generated by some is so overwhelming that it has begun to seep its way into average peoples mind that dont have a good grasp on the political history and makeup of the United States.

It is dangerous, and more people need to stand up against such extremisms.

Actually the two go hand in hand. Obama appointed Holder.

The Weather Underground never hurt anyone

Not for a lack of trying.
They wanted to.
They tried to.
They cost this country $$$ and they terrorized.
What are you .. some kind of Bill Ayers apologist?

If you want to be angry about something -- go for the real issues.

This is a real issue.

But are we really going to keep going with this Birther conspiracy nonsense,

Off topic.

or "soft on terror -- BE AFRAID?"

You should be afraid if our own justice dept is soft on terrorists.

Can we just spawn off a section of ATS for all the Obama is an alien junk, so I can avoid it?

Go play on democraticunderground if you want to avoid the truth about Obama. In the mean time - discussing how Obama is soft on terrorists is NOT saying 'Obama is an alien'. Grow up.

Deranged lunatics are not influenced by huge punishments -- so we need to let the courts handle terrorism cases as if they were for common criminals.

- terrorists are not common criminals.
- cutting jihadists off from each other is not a 'huge punishment'. It's common sense.
