Comments on: Chertoff’s ‘gut feeling.’

The color coded threat level chart has been replaced by something new. Department of Homeland Security’s Michael Chertoff now aimlessly wanders the nation with his shirt pulled up over his stomach. Folks may now approach Mr.Chertoff, and like a pregnant woman letting others feel her tummy, he allows citizens to place their hand against his gut to determine precisely just how knotted his insides and serious the threat…

some days they say “the sky is falling.” some days they cry “wolf.”
some days they cry “foul.”
some days they blame the victim.
some days they forget or don’t recall.
some days they blame each other.
some days they push to run out the clock.
some days they threaten to keep our military pinned down in Iraq to run out the clock.
some days they threaten to take lieberman, and i wish they would.
some days they ignore the law.
some days they break the law.
some days they forget what laws they broke, then blame congress for reminding them.
…and there are so many things they do or don’t do on a given day, i won’t waste your time with the rest.

So glad to see people speaking out on this issue…Chert-ie has clearly shown what he is all about -FEAR- and that is what this entire administration has been about…it is time to try and bring them down. Truth is what these people are afraid of so we need to spread as much of it as we can. We won’t get it from the evening news that’s for sure..all the news is about is lip service and selling cars drugs and lies. for now I gotta run.. I think I hear the Gestopo… I mean homeland security knocking at my door….HELP!! Oh No! It’s Cherti-ie!!

Folks, you are a scary bunch.. ;) , but, the real scare is that within all this rhetoric is truth. If one follows the adage, “follow the money”, one can see what should be feared. The alignment of events to serve an ‘end’ is visible. When this next event occurs, it is, and has been, expected that opposition will rise. That has already been taken care of in planning for civil unrest. Not only is homeland security available to hold off the masses, but, so is a private army, blackwater. Interesting that blackwater is headed by someone with ties to fundamentalist here isn’t it. Fundamentalist here, fundamentalist there, …fundamentalist used to support movements everywhere! PRESSURE YOUR REPRESENTATIVES NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!! Also, support those who express and actively oppose this ‘access by evil’ group. Ron Paul is a good start.

#70, I’d change the script just a little:
Interviewer: BOO!
Applicant: HELP! HELP! TERROR! Take our freedom! We should all follow our adored leader!
Interviewer: Oh, you’re good. It’s Homeland defense for you!

Funny thing Skeletor, I have a gut feeling too, only mine is that a corrupt and treasonous Bush administration, in an act of balls-to-the-wall desperation is going to engineer, or by omission of action allow to be engineered, a horrifying act of terrorism on U.S. soil, in an attempt to justify the destruction of what remains of our republic. But I have a gut feeling that not all Americans are going to go along with the plan. I sure as hell won’t. Put that in your colon and smoke it. LIVE FREE OR DIE.

That is probably one of the scarier comments to come from anyone within the Bush administration. And that’s saying a lot. A gut feeling? More like a threat. I hate to think that this government would be willing to sacrifice innocent lives in order to maintain power and control. But, with Blackwater private military troops waiting in the wings to curtail “unrest” that would certainly occur after a large-scale “attack”… it seems more probable than most people would like to admit. I wish more people would take Chertoff’s comment for what it really is- a thinly veiled threat against the American people.

Chertoff looks like good candidate to play the next Dracula.

Hey TP. Thanks so much for censoring my earlier post.

Any of you wanna explain what was so objectionable about it? I’d REALLY like to know.

Set Cherthoff’s head on fire, and he’d look just like Nicholas Cage in “Ghost Rider.”

This from a man who has 25% of positions in his department vacant.

Much like the State Dept, who can’t get any ‘career diplomats’ to go over & hide out in the green zone.

Bottom line? They’re chickenhawks & chickenshits.

This is the precise reason we have to rid our government of every last neo-con. If Bush’s approval rating goes any lower they’ll manufacture/allow (another?) spectacular attack to boost his ratings and allow him to assume dictatorial powers.

If a Democrat gets elected President they’ll do the same and then run in 2012 on security. The neo-cons are so dangerous because they’re sociopathic. They’re like a cancer. If you don’t rid your body of every cancerous cell the disease comes back. We must educate the public who these people are and what they’re about. That’s the only way to flush them completely from our government.
