However, I do not understand your overall position. It resembles other opinions in favor of the TSA's procedures which says people are over-reacting without thinking (strikingly similar to the opinions people have about the Tea Party). In the words of William Shatner, "I can't get behind that."<br /><br />Here's my beef with this argument. There is a trade-off with the new current state, which is less individual liberty for the sake of the common good. And, there is a trade-off for the procedures preferred by those objecting to the intrusion, which is less security for more liberty or convenience. But, those arguing in favor of the current procedures appear to feel righteous and to be justified by the idea that those who object are not aware of the trade-off, are too naive to understand it, and, therefore, are in need of protection from it (doesn't sound too trusting of individuals).<br /><br />There seems to be this blind faith that the threat of violence (police and government derive their power from violence) and use of force via a bureaucratic organization will provide security. I think the track record for this paradigm shows it to be the most costly and least effective(look at Iraq and the war on drugs). There doesn't seem to be a comprehensive comparison of the costs and benefits or an objective analysis of the true threat. Instead solutions are determined by a few in the political class (very prone to group think), and issued by mandate with little flexibility or opportunity for feedback. I can't help but wonder if we might have come up with better, more effective solutions that were centered on empowerment as opposed to fear and violence. <br /><br />A government by the people and for the people, believing all men are endowed with certain inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, should be more vigilant in the problem solving process it uses.Mitchellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824504.post-12957416943582421302010-11-18T19:08:05.943-08:002010-11-18T19:08:05.943-08:00I cosider myself a conservative individual.

My wife and I had this conversation over dinner, much to the dismay of my quesadilla eating son. While I am not threatened by a little radiation or the warm grope of a government employee who may have the worst government job, with the exception of Sheila Jackson Lee's legislative assistant, I do understand the hubbub. There is a group of citizens, a large group, that have had enough. We are in an environment where any threat to liberty, real or perceived, heaped on top of the gruel that has been forced down the throat of the citizenry over the last several years is going to generate some resistance. I don't hate the grope or the groper, but I understand where the anger comes from.Allennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824504.post-81332109677668403342010-11-18T08:24:35.470-08:002010-11-18T08:24:35.470-08:00Criticizing someone's grammar on a comment thr...Criticizing someone's grammar on a comment thread is the last refuge of an individual who knows they've lost the argument.Falling Pandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08942230822707549072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824504.post-47460860064012479772010-11-17T23:58:41.458-08:002010-11-17T23:58:41.458-08:00In the fourth comment:

"Tea-bagging" had sexual overtones before the Tea Party was ever a thought on the mind. And while the Tea Party would like to think it was making an overt, literal gesture (hindsight is 20/20), that gesture came with connotations.

Well, I hope the Right takes some control of Congress this week. (Sometimes you have to take a step back in order to take a step forward.) If history serves to teach us anything, the Right will be forced to bear some responsibility for decisions made in the next two years as well as all the politicking we're about to see through 2012. In the meantime, we'll be able to gauge just how much cannibalization will take place between the Tea Party Right and the GOP. Let them eat each other over issues like extending tax cuts for the wealthy, extreme v. intelligent budget cuts, and "insider politics." After Karl Rove and Trent Lott co-opt the Tea Party out of the Washington insiders' "scene," it will only push the movement closer to Jim DeMint & Sarah Palin. And moderate/independent voters won't have the stomach to ride the Tea Party Express.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
