Never Enough by Becky Akers

Very occasionally, a bit of truth escapes even the craftiest politician.
One such rarity has emerged from the battle between New Yorks Thugs and
those at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over who gets how
much of the loot they steal from us.

DHS confessed last week that it -Plans to drastically cut security
funding- for New York City, as the Staten Island Advance put it. That
prompted caterwauls from every two-bit pol who can possibly claim control
over the five boroughs as well as this confession from New Yorks nanny -
sorry, mayor, Michael Bloomberg: -I Would Never Think The City Should
Not Get More Funding.

Yep, you read that right. No matter how much Our Masters despoil us, It
Is Never Enough. Trillions upon trillions poured down the Government Rat
Hole, yet The Rodents are Never Satisfied, Never Glutted, Never Abashed
for even a moment at Their Avarice and Theft. Instead, They Voraciously
Hunt More Victims And Plunder.

We all knew this, of course. Greed to make Midas Blush and Thievery are
the States Essence. But how Obliging of Nanny to Confirm It!

Never mind that -New York City is by far the biggest recipient of
Department of Homeland Security funds, nor that it also -got $100 million
through the stimulus, as the White House was quick to point out. Nanny
and his Accomplices Demand More as they play one of a politicians two
roles: either actively robbing us, or begging his -fair share- from the
rest of the gang. -The fact that the Obama administration would cut New
Yorks homeland security funding just 11 days after the Times Square car
bomb attempt is dangerous and unconscionable, whined Rep. Peter King
(R-NY).

Aw, come on, Pete: systematically stripping New Yorkers of their
Second-Amendment rights so we can not defend ourselves from terrorists,
whether Governmental or Free-Lance - now THAT is Dangerous And
Unconscionable. Squabbling Over The Booty Is Just Politics.

By now you have probably suspected that your definition of -Drastically-
differs a tad from the Staten Island Advances. We are talking a decrease
of a mere 26% from last years stratospheric $198 million, so that New
Yorks bureaucracy must make do with only $145 million. Perhaps a few of
its Warriors On Terror will have to relinquish their -Black Suburbans-
and Hoof It like the Rest of Us.

No Doubt News Of Such Martial Weakness Already Has Al Qaeda Planning A
Beachhead At Battery Park.

Meanwhile, those of us languishing in New Yorks Police State can only
hope this modest reduction curtails some of its unconstitutional
silliness, such as its warrantless searches of folks intrepid enough to
brave the subways or its -surges-: -You will see surges of police
officers all of a sudden, heavily armed, that appear- in a quiet, nice
neighborhood,- Nanny admitted a few years ago on 60 Minutes. -Surges-
often leave the quiet, nice neighbors quaking - and indeed, Nanny
explained that -The Purpose Of It All Is To Intimidate.

- Hmmm. Maybe he is on a truth-telling jag, because unless terrorists
have chosen that particular moment to case that particular area, -Surges-
Intimidate No One But Us.

Whether or not Nanny et al can extort that extra $53 million out of their
federal counterparts, New York is already a totalitarians dream. Since
9/11, its rulers have -spent billions of dollars on security upgrades,
some visible and others undetectable to locals. There are bomb-sniffing
dogs and police checking [sic for -searching without a warrant-] subway
riders bags. There are signs urging people to report -suspicious
activities.- There are checkpoints on bridges. There is a counter-
terrorism bureau and intelligence division established by Police
Commissioner Raymond Kelly. Operating from precincts in New York as well
as Paris; - alas, DHS niggardliness may gyp some of our hard-working
public servants out of springtime in Gay Paree next year- Tel Aviv;
Amman, Jordan, and other foreign posts; the 1,000 agents speak 50
languages, including Urdu, Pashto, Arabic and Persian.

Surveillance equipment can scrutinize anything, whether license plates or
tattoos. Whew! I will sleep better tonight knowing that Officer Sanchez
over at Counter-Terrorism can scan the gridlock at New York intersections
for expired tags.

Our Rulers also installed a -Ring Of Steel in Lower Manhattan, outfitting
a 1.5-square-mile area with 3,000 surveillance cameras and radiation
detectors. City and state officials are pushing Washington to provide an
additional $24 million to expand the protective barrier [sic for
-Automated Stasi] to Midtown. Yet Nanny has the nerve to Prattle, -There
is a balance between being so safe you can not go out of your house, and
enjoying freedom - freedom to come and go, and to talk and to be in
charge of your own destiny.- Shameless, is he not???

And what do these Buffoons do with the fortune the Feds re-distribute
from our pockets to theirs?? Well, a few evenings ago, they blew up a
gardeners car with it.

-A couple of 5-gallon gas cans in the back seat of a car parked in Union
Square last night brought the area to a screeching halt, prompting the
evacuation of 600 people and briefly trapping hundreds of punk-rock fans
attending a concert at Irving Plaza.

Seems one of Con Edisons employees -Noticed- the cans and called the cops
- naturally. Good Amerikans who see something say something, even if they
do not know what they are talking about. There are about a million
reasons a guy might carry gas cans in his car, and none of them has
anything to do with terrorism; in this case, he fills his lawn mower from
them. Perhaps that is yet another reason the Founding Fathers prohibited
warrantless searches: so that ignorant busybodies like this snitch can
not make life miserable for the rest of us.

-Within moments, Bomb Squad experts swarmed the area, rousting those
-quiet, nice neighbors Nanny loves to Bully out of bed and ordering them
to evacuate their buildings. Then the -Experts- destroyed the cars
windows -with two controlled blasts; why investigate first when you can
have fun blowing up a serfs property and there is not a dang thing he can
do about it?

The unfortunate owner returned at midnight, -none too happy
-What Happened! What Happened! He Kept Asking The Police.
What Is Wrong? I Did Not Do Anything!!

As If That Matters Anymore.
