VIDEO: McConnell: "With Boston bombings, pre-9/11 complacency has returned".

[Constitutional Paulicy]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said that the twin bombs that exploded at the Boston Marathon were a new reminder "that serious threats to our way of life remain," and that Americans would "recommit ourselves to the fight against terrorism at home and abroad."

The Boston bombing is to neo-Trots what Sandy Hook is to gun-grabbers.

Ya, unfortunately we are going to be hearing a lot more support for a police state.

[sailingaway]

No, we know better this time how much we are losing.

[The Gold Standard]

I'm shocked. I thought McConnell was one of us.

[itshappening]

Translation: give me more power and more tax money. That $50bn DHS monster and TSA we created wasn't enough.

We're too damn complacent.

Checkpoints and army everywhere.

[Trigonx]

never let an opportunity go to waste. Saw this coming a mile away.


People will throw their freedom at these politicians for some so called "safety" also read as a police state.

Maybe if the FBI wasn't so busy foiling its own terrorist plots (http://reason.com/archives/2013/01/15/manufacturing-terrorists)...

So glad the bifactional ruling party destroyed so many of our liberties for (the illusion of) safety, and spent so many billions to "keep us safe."

[thoughtomator]

The government is too busy spying on average people to do anything about terrorism - especially the terrorism that originates within the government's own agencies.

How does McConnell know that it was an international terrorist who detonated the bombs?

[NewRightLibertarian]

Glad 'we're' aligned with this sack of shit

[ItsTime]

If bomb sniffing dogs standing next to the bombs are not going to stop a terrorist attack nothing will.

[The Gold Standard]

How does McConnell know that it was an international terrorist who detonated the bombs?

He doesn't. Well he might know who did it, but that is irrelevant. He was talking about cracking down "at home and abroad".

“They can give me a cavity search right now and I’d be perfectly happy,” said Daniel Wood, a video producer from New York City who was waiting for a train.

And this is after what, 3 people killed? (I have not checked recently)

I'm not that everybody is aware of just how fucked we all will be when a bad incident goes down (real or FF, makes no difference).

[Anti Federalist]

Ah, yes, just what we need in AmeriKa these days, more "crackdowns".

[ninepointfive]

Some people enjoy that sort of thing.

Yeah, he thinks this bombing means that we have to "crack down abroad," even though it may well have been a domestic terrorist who did this. This seems similar to the Olympic bombing that was done by a domestic terrorist. If Al-Quaeda had done this I think they would've claimed credit for it by now.
