Bloomberg – Hey, maybe that Times Square bomber didn’t like healthcare or something

First we were told they were looking for a white guy in his forties. Get it? Looking for another angry white guy. Then it was an angry white guy who acted alone … who was deranged, like maybe a tea party guy who didn’t like health care. Bloomberg looks like an idiot. From last night’s CBS Evening News. Hat Tip – Hot Air

OK, so he wasn’t an angry white guy. Ok, so maybe he has international terrorist connections and he didn’t act alone. OK. so maybe it was a plot that New York missed by a country mile. Aa Mark Twain once said, better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you’re an idiot then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

AP at Hot Air adds this:

He knows full well which way the investigation is pointing but he’s too gutless to mention it as a possibility. The latest: The joint terrorism task force has taken over the case and the “person of interest,” who’s been missing since Saturday night, is apparently a “naturalized American citizen who hails from Pakistan and just returned after spending five months there.”

Lefties!

    Whenever something bad happens, my knee jerk reaction is to blame someone who is of a different race, ethnic group, nationality, religion, height, weight or hair color, and/or one who likes different sports teams, music or TV shows, and/or says "toe-mah-toe" and "poe-tah-toe,"  and/or votes for different political parties or American Idol finalists. You know how those people are.

    On one of the local news programs last night, a UCONN professor listed everyone, particularly the dreaded "Christian militia" as potential suspect, and then added (at the very end!) the possibility of foreign terrorists (not Muslims fundamentalists, or Islamic anything or another).

     

    It is soooo nice to be politically correct.  And the rest of the world continues to laugh at the young president and his Keystone Kop administration.

    This should come as no surprise, the politicos, Mayor  Blumberg is no different, they all think deniel is a river in Egypt.

    Mr. Blumberg is a big anti 2nd amendment guy. But a pro "world government" suporter.

    He thinks the rest of us are a bunch of stump jumpers. We will belive what ever he tells us.

    And on this evening's  TV news, they are labeling this device as a weapon of mass destruction(WMD).  They did the same with the device in the fruit of the boom case.  Is this an admission that there were WMD's in Iraq?   OR are we changing definitions to suit the needs of the hope and change crowd?

    Blumberg can keep his quarter…Mr. Coin Operated Boy was wrong the minute he opened his mouth (love that Twain quote, btw, Jim!)…

    He was wrong…wrong…wrong…and did I mention he was WRONG???  If the tea party didn't exist just whom would he have speculated was responsible for Times Square bombing attempt?  If a WMD  went off at a tea party event, would it be called a mass suicide attempt?  No matter WHAT it's some nutbag the Left imagines represents the Tea Party?  C'mon…a little creativity goes a long way.  This is getting soooooooooooo stale.

    I heard that one journalette said she wished and hoped and prayed that whoever they caught was going to be some white conservative tea party extremist —- as she said, just so she would not hear …. it's another Muslim jihad extremist – well sorry her wishes, hopes and prayers were all extinguished when another devout Muslim extremist did what he was taught to do best, Hate! and Kill! All of her wishing and hoping and praying did not good. Maybe it was because you can not wish, hope or pray for something that is evil – and in her mind what she wanted was not of any good, did not do any good and would not have created anything good out of it. What she wanted to was to produce hate towards a people that are trying to save her sorry little – butt – but then that is what we are good at, saving everyone whether they want to be saved or not but in the long run it is for us, for our freedom and their free butts get  a free ride.

    We need to profile, we are at war and it is high time we need to realize this. And although I like Glenn Beck his remark about reading this guy his rights is nonsense, he was giving a sign of war to us when he did what he did, and he acted with the fact  he was going to produce murder and chaos, it was in his mind an act of war against America and the American people; therefore he should be treated like a war criminal, the same as he was treated us – his enemy in war – so we do not need to read him his rights and all rights are out the window – we will humanely interrogate him, meaning we will not torture him but we do not have to sweet talk him, wine him and dine him, and give him tourist treatment. His citizenship is revoked, he is treated like a war criminal, tried for war crimes and we will send a message to everyone else – America is at war with terrorists, – terrorize us and you get our terrorist treatment.

    Now our media needs to realize that these guys hate them – and any journalist or politician that believes otherwise are just too dense or naive for us to worry about – when the terrorists get a hold of them, they better be wearing Kevlar turtlenecks.

    Spouting off before listening to the facts

    is both shameful and foolish.

    The mouths of fools are their ruin;

    they trap themselves with their lips.

    From the book of Proverbs, chapter 18, verses 13 and 7. (New Living Translation)

    Mayor Bloomberg, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano (what an oxymoron), et al, should maybe think before they speak.

    Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;

    with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. Proverbs 17:28 NLT

    Mayor Bloomberg and gang:

    Where is the apology that you owe me?  I am a:

    White male

    in his 40's

    slightly balding

    living in CT

    removes extra layers of unnecessary clothing on a hot day

    member of the TEA Party from its beginning

    and, Angry… (at the hypocrisy from you folks)

    I believe I have been profiled…Now, turn the focus and profile the perpetrators or just shut your mouths.
