It seems that the association of non-supervisory border agents agrees with TAH that Janet Napolitano was FOS when she attempted to give Americans a false sense of security in a post on the Homeland Security Department’s blog. Napolitano wrote that theborder between the USand Mexico is as safe as it’s ever been, despite recent murders and kidnappings of US citizens in the border area. (Washington Times link)
“It is time for the political games to stop for fear of insulting the government of Mexico,” the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) said in a statement. “U.S. citizens are being kidnapped and killed while our Border Patrol agents fight a war at home that no one will allow them to win.
“Not one more Border Patrol agent should fall or citizen be victimized because our government fails to act,” the NBPC said. “Mexico is hemorrhaging violence and we are being hit with the splatter.”
Ms. Napolitano told border-area mayors and business leaders in El Paso, Texas, on Thursday that the U.S.-Mexico border is safer than ever, adding that perceptions that the border area is at its most dangerous right now are false.
Yes, because everyone knows that relations with Mexico are much more important than Americans’ lives.
Napolitano’s happy-go-lucky description is a direct contradiction to the State Department travel advisory for Mexico dated last September;
Since 2006, large firefights have taken place in towns and cities in many parts of Mexico, often in broad daylight on streets and other public venues. Such firefights have occurred mostly in northern Mexico, including Ciudad Juarez, Tijuana, Chihuahua City, Nogales, Nuevo Laredo, Piedras Negras, Reynosa, Matamoros and Monterrey. Firefights have also occurred in Nayarit, Jalisco and Colima. During some of these incidents, U.S. citizens have been trapped and temporarily prevented from leaving the area.
A few months after the advisory, 4 Americans were murdered across the border from the site of Napolitano’s speech. Crush at Blackfive reported that more Americans had been killed in Mexico than Iraq last year.
The internet will kill Liberalism.
“The internet will kill Liberalism.”
Sadly, I doubt it. Progressiveism killed/supplanted classical liberalism in modern politics, and progressive thought will simply not accept any fact that contradicts it. Any such fact is simply a lie, or is from a source that can’t be accepted, or any other tactic that allows it to be dismissed. Nor is dismissal enough; rather, it must be discredited at all costs (‘Swiftboating’ being a good example).
Rational people of any and all stripes will get it. Your modern progressive never will, and will do anything at all to ensure as few others as possible will get that information or point.
“Is Janet Napolitano FOS?”
Is water wet?
Just to add to the growing list of evidence the ambassador to Mexico was fired earlier this week after daring to speak truth to power and exposed by Wikileaks
I highly doubt the internet will kill it. Probably the other way around, in terms of extreme liberal “thought” … or lack thereof.

I agree with Laughing Wolf. Naive Conservatives/Right-of-center ideologues (up until a few years ago, I was included among this naive bunch) have been saying since the days of Rathergate (fake TANG memos created by a major news outlet in order to deceive the American public in the effort to take down a sitting President) and the firing of CNN’s Eason Jordan (who admitted that CNN lied/covered up the truth about Saddam’s Iraq in order to maintain access to the country for ‘news’ purposes) that the MF-ing media is dying and alternative media and the internet would save us from the enemy within that calls itself the media. But that did not happen.
Instead, the MF-ing media — along with the ‘entertainment’ industry, public schools, universities and the Left-wing internet — simply gained even more power and influence to spread their lies.
These groups’ lies about the economy and war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan led to the Democrats taking power in Congress in 2006. Their continued lies led to the Democrats taking super-majorities in Congress in 2008. Their despicable lies and smears and utter destruction of Sarah Palin combined with their lies and cover-up and over-the-top idol-worship of Barack Obama succeeded in vaulting into power an Administration full of America-hating racists, socialists, Marxists, anti-capitalists and advocates of the Cloward-Piven strategy to destroy America.
It has been 7 years since the MF-ing media deliberately made shit up to take down a sitting President. In those 7 years, instead of the public seeing the MF-ing media as the despicable, evil lying pieces of MF-ing shit that they are, they still believe all their lies.
Ask anyone whom they blame for the current state of the economy. Do they look back at the Bush Administration and GOP time in Congress where we had record highs on Wall Street and low unemployment in the 5% range and understand that the deficit spending that the GOP did was on all the things that liberals wanted (education, health care, etc)? Do they look back and understand that the Democrats were against the GOP spending not because it was too high, but because it was too low? Do they look back and understand that the Bush Administration and GOP Congress were lowering the deficit from 2005-2006-2007? Do they understand that it was when the Democrats took over Congress in JAN 2007 that the economy started to tank? Do they understand that the Democrats were the ones to have spent us into oblivion?
Do they understand that the Bush Administration and the GOP were working since 2001 to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as they realized that it was not sustainable and were trying to avoid a housing market crash? Do they understand that it was the Democrats — including ACORN and Barack Obama — led by Chris Dodd and Barney Frank who blocked the GOP’s efforts to prevent the crisis by demonizing them as racists and scare-mongers?
Do they understand that the GOP has been proposing healthcare alternatives for years, only to be blocked by the Democrats? Do they understand that the Democrats have been blocking domestic oil drilling for decades, yet opening up drilling to any and all foreign countries, all the while whining that we are too dependent on “foreign oil”?
No, they don’t understand any of that. Ask your average American about all this and the majority of them put all the blame on the Bush Administration and the GOP and have nothing but praise and idol-worship of the Democrats and Obama.
It’s absolutely fothermucking ridiculous.
But that is how little power the internet has compared to decades-long indoctrination by ‘progressives’ in public schools, universities, the ‘entertainment’ industry (TV, movies, songs, ‘celebrity’ activism, etc) and the MF-ing media.
Subjects like this are the very things the democrat media will use to absolutely napalm whoever the next republican president is.
I hope the red team is keeping a list and will be ready with counter-measures. Just like when they called GW Bush Hitler, in order to pre-accuse what they intended to be when they took over, the things they remain silent on will become major issues when the dems are off the firing line.
Wait! I hear huey’s inbound…whoa. Hold on gang. What hell is the streamer following behind that last copter out of Hell? Si’ se puede? WTF?
Kid. The “Red team” never keeps a list. They simply dive underneath their fQQking desks and practice “Nuclear safety”.
Lets just cut through all the crap and get to the effing point. Its the Progressive/socialist desire for the U.S. to dissolve and become the North American Union, probably along the lines of a hmm…Lets say Oceania. Make no mistakes about it ,Orwell was a PROPHET and an optimist.
I wonder you will come to our rescue when the Obots turn thier tanks and gunships on us? Hell, who will even care?
Dang it, Dirty Al? Yer taking most of the fun out of my mouthing off to the upper *crapola heads* bro….
A better question would be…When hasn’t she been FOS?

Sorry Street, didn’t mean to be a kill joy last night, but my patience is about worn thin, and my cord is stretched tight.
Plus I forgot my HAPPY PILLS.
Just, remember, lying is fine according to the fuckwits incompetent judicial activists of the ninth circuit court of appeals. So Napolitano is doing nothing wrong except getting Americans killed, robbed, etc. and compromising the national security of the US. She is just lying, and that is a part of life according to that one moron in 9th circus.
Now Napolitano and Obama are saying that ICE will not accept any illegal immigrant detainees from local law enforcement, unless they have committed a serious criminal act, and ICE reserves the right to determine what is serious crime. Am I watching the viral version of the ‘burning of the Reichstag’?
Americans are so asleep at the wheel that even many Mexican-American citizens are criticizing the Obama/Napolitano/Morton policies. We need to stop complaining and start acting. If we wait until the next election, another four years of this oligarchy may be too much to overcome without armed revolution. I don’t want armed revolution, but Americans need to wake up now and get active.
