Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. That psychic discomfort is the price we pay for basic civic peace. It's worth it. It's a pragmatic principle. Defend everyone else's rights, because if you don't there is no one to defend yours. - MaxedOutMama

I don't just want gun rights... I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance....I want the whole bloody thing. Kim du Toit

The most glaring example of the cognitive dissonance on the left is the concept that human beings are inherently good, yet at the same time cannot be trusted with any kind of weapon, unless the magic fairy dust of government authority gets sprinkled upon them. Moshe Ben-David

STILL On the List

STILL On the List

I just tried to check in online with Frontier Airlines for my flight out to Louisville tomorrow. Despite the nice letter I received from the TSA back in March, I'm apparently still on their list of suspicious people, even though the FBI recently gave me a clean bill of health:

So now if I want to fight it, I have to go to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and appeal under 49 U.S.C. §46110.

In other words: "Go away. You're bothering me."

I don't have the time or (especially) the money to pursue that option, so here's the deal from now on - no matter what gas prices are, if my destination is 15 hours or less away, I'm driving. If it's vacation, I'll take TWO days to get there.

Mr. Jim Kennedy of the "Traveler Redress Inquiry Program" is kindly invited to lave my nether regions, neglecting not the 'taint, and that goes for the entire employment roster of the "A Security Theater" department of "Homeland Security."

I wonder if I should wear my Proud Member of the Triangle of Death t-shirt tomorrow, or my Achmed the Dead Terrorist one?
