Has anyone else noticed that the recent uptick in.....
...in the reporting of high profile arrests in connection with suspected terrorist activities by the media has been coupled with a lack of hysteria by the Obama administration (as opposed to the Two Shoes clown car)?

Does this mean that our security is in the hands of competent and professional adults? I think so.

1. Yeah, I also notice that the teabaggers are silent
Must just piss them off to no end that Obama's administration is managing to protect America better than Bush's.

11. teabaggers are silent because they haven't received
their latest marching orders from the GOP/talking head lunatics.

yet.

mid October = last stand. HC will more than likely pass in November. mid October it will be increasingly clear just exactly what will pass. so, you'll see March of the Loons Part II, soon in a town near you.

17. Over the past few days I've checked on the Fox Nation website and
they don't even have this as a topic of discussion.  I keep
waiting, but all I can hear are crickets.

2. They aren't hyping the fear or politicizing law enforcement. The difference from Bush is vast.

6. One thing I do worry about is -
- the justification of the Patriot Act. Roving wiretaps, random searches and seizures, etc. I don't know if they've had to use any of those things, but the RW is trumpeting that as being the thing that made these arrests possible.

7. Yep...
And I bet the FBI and CIA are happy to be able to actually do their jobs now too. This will be good for all concerned.

Maybe trying to scare whoever is in power into the possibility of getting rid of it...or drumming up support among the stupids.

Fascinating either way, no?

16. Get ready for another False Flag Disaster.... Oct 25th....
They have to divert the public's attention from the horrible economy. Promote Right vs. left. ( NOT up vs down.)

If people really focused on Up vs Down.. they would question the $Billions that have gone in free money to the Bankers.

The MSM is setting up the next 911 outrage.... which will benefit the banks....
