“Why did it take a liberal in the White House to wake you up? Because you are morons, no different than the sheep on the left.”

Well technically, as Americans, you’re all morons. 😉

Most people out there like to think we have some geek squad on steroids watching stuff 24/7. It’s just too bad that the enemy has such an easy time with our defenses on every front. From rules of engagement in the field to the way our law enforcement has to stay far from mosques where the deeds are planned and recruiting is done.

Americans don’t even know how to protect their computers. Why would they expect the federal government to do that any better than them on its own network?

“Last week, the story of a successful Middle Eastern invasion at the heart of our most vital online secrets came out but was largely ignored in favor of less important symbolism like the two-blocks-from-Ground-Zero mosque. ”

This sentence illustrates why I love coming here. While the Ground Zero Mosque story is important, this is what happens to even those of us who are political junkies when the media focuses on the bait and switch refocusing con they love to do so much. Priorities.

Then again, millions don’t have a clue. They have no idea what a luxury it is just to be focused on some ugly, slutty Italian hornbag like the Ruth Buzzy look-a-like Lady Gaga.

It’s important to know what to call GWB on because believe me, there was room for criticism on many fronts. Trouble was the left instead of focusing on true issues they could have called him on, had to make up and demonize GWB in a total fake way. They resorted to fabulism in lieu of facts…and there were many out there. Here, we get the good guts.

Now, with Zero at the helm, the whole deal is slowing cracking and falling apart. No worries, let’s all go look at that fugly slag Lady Gaga naked body surf. After all, once the ruling class or Islamofacists takes over, we’ll still be able to partake in such hedonistic, mindless entertainment once the society is redone, right?

In a way, the Ground Zero mosque story is the end result of this unfettered immigration from Middle Eastern countries that was permitted under ‘Dubyah’. But as far as Lady Gaga – really, the comparisons of her appearance (skanky and sleazy as it is) to Ruth Buzzi are an insult – to Ms. Buzzi.

Stories like this one are the reason why this website is so important, and why I read it daily. Thank you, Debbie, for once again demonstrating how clueless and incompetent our government is with respect to protecting us from the global jihad that is besieging us, about which our government apparently has but little awareness and comprehension. But what are we to do? Those seeking office who rail against “radical Islam” or Muslim extremists” demonstrate, by the mere use of such terms, a complete ignorance of the menace of Islam itself, and persist in subscribing to the myth that there is a moderate, peaceful version of Islam which most Muslims embrace. None of these politicians understand that mainstream Muslims, even if they prefer nonviolence to terrorism, are nevertheless believers in Sharia who hold our secular Constitution in contempt, and for this reason alone comprise a threat to our existence. There are so very few aspiring political leaders who are fully aware of the threat Muslims pose to the rest of us, and even fewer who do and are willing to publicly acknowledge what they know, thereby risking their political careers – and in some cases, their physical well-being – by speaking plainly about it.

We shouldn’t confuse this matter with the Islamic threat – yes, there’s some overlap. I’d commend to you all Richard Clarke’s recently published “Cyber War”. He was Clinton’s assistant for counter-terror, then was shunted from that role under Bush by then NSC head Condoleza Rice, at which point he started working on cyber-security issues.

“Cyber War” provides a good overview of the threat and where it comes from, and those primarily targeting us are China, Russia and North Korea. (No doubt many Muslim students of computer science have also been recruited as cyber-warriors, thus the overlap.) He also makes clear that the more “wired” the society, the more vulnerable. And we’re among the most wired, with everything from your local Target to your local bank to the local power station on-line. One scary demonstration showed how a hacker could get into a power plant’s control system and drive a generator to the point of self-destruction. He also describes incidents where foreign interests have basically scooped up wholesale information about our most advanced weapons systems.

This also applies to private industry. The US gives out way to many H1B visas to Chinese technical professionals, who come over here, work for a few years in some highly technical field, then take this information back to China so that they can steal our intellectual property and patents.

Maybe that’s how Wikileaks got the information…Funny now isn’t it how National Security issues are not even in the top 5 concerns for the American electorate anymore.. Good plan though, make the American people piss ass poor and the whole argument changes.

Good piece, but personally I would take Bush back in a second compared to this dude, he has more power than Bush ever could have dreamed of having.. Either way, it’s like my uncle say. “After Reagan left the damage was done”.. It will take us 30 years just to bring it back to where it was, let alone where it should be.

Skunky, I’ve never been PC or any other way “correct” to be liked. In fact, far too many people, including our own Dear Debbie, tell me I’m too blunt. I fail to see where objecting to your repeated reference to LG’s Italian roots is PCism. If she were black and there were constant references to it, you wouldn’t tolerate the connection with her being black or anything else and a slut. She’s despicable and stupid for referring to herself that way but you are participating. You are blatantly lying here denying you brought up the Italian issue and when you were called on it, you deny. Talk about being PC! I am sick of being associated with sluts, gangsters and lowlifes. Those are not the Italians I know and grew up among. I am sick of people not believing my father got to medical school on his own merit and that he needed the Mob to get him in. I’m sick of lewd comments simply because I’m an Italian woman. Some days a burka looks like a good option. I’m sick of being thought stupid, cowed and lazy for the same reason. I’m sick of people thinking wife beating is somehow ok in Italian law and society. I’m sick of people looking at the worst which in every other group except maybe Jews, would be roundly condemned but somehow it’s ok to do to Italians. I mean we’re just a bunch of guidos and their bimbos, aren’t we? We’re not the people of Leonardo Da Vinci, Cristopher Columbus, Galileo or Verdi, NO, all we are is the slimiest part of American life. Stop being a hater and hiding behind calling others “politically correct hacks.”

The US government is too damn big for its own good.

Oh man what is it cyber counter terrorism for dip shits on parade with Mo,Larry and Curly as our so called security professionals? Sad to say it’s not the first time there have been
breaches there was a big blunder covered in the 9/11 Timeline report the feds had a double agent named Ali Mohammed unfortunately Mr Ali was more loyal to Al Qeada than to the West of course there were indications of that like the fact he was failing his mandatory lie detector tests and making trips to Somalia but yet somehow he kept his security clearance at one point that guy actually worked at a location that made the Trident missile switches to this day no one knows whether he had access to the main computer but guess it isn’t a problem anymore because apparently he was killed if I remember the news report correctly engaging in the Mumbai attacks. Still find it scary the security clearance he got.
