Congressman Charlie Rangel was on Fox News last night moaning and groaning about how he can't believe that it is still possible after 9/11 for any pilot to board a light, fixed wing aircraft and fly virtually anywhere in the United States without having to hand over their first born to authorities before leaving the ground. <BR/><BR/>Okay, I made that last part up, but it paints the same hysterical picture that Mr. Rangel was attempting to generate. Apparently, Charlie wants to live in something akin to Soviet Russia, where every move is watched; where every person needs permission from someone in government to go anywhere, to do anything, at any time, by any means.<BR/><BR/>If Bush were to suggest such a thing, I'm thinking Democrats would be screaming from the tallest building about how Bush is ruining America and stealing our personal freedoms.<BR/><BR/>Granted, it wasn't the MSM that set the tone, but now that Charlie has, you're right - it's just a matter of time before some idiot reporter writes the first scare mongering story on the topic.vtxpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16750740395752450047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-1160629279038357412006-10-12T01:01:00.000-04:002006-10-12T01:01:00.000-04:00The only light aircraft I worry about are crop dus...The only light aircraft I worry about are crop dusters.<BR/><BR/>Not what they'd spray on crops, but what they could spray over a populated area.RussInSoCalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09200203675664496643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-1160620399236797402006-10-11T22:33:00.000-04:002006-10-11T22:33:00.000-04:00OK, somebody has.Blog glossaryOK, somebody has.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.samizdata.net/blog/glossary.html" REL="nofollow">Blog glossary</A>Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600030574995481267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-1160619459480771622006-10-11T22:17:00.000-04:002006-10-11T22:17:00.000-04:00Sparks, that's blogspeak for MainStream Media.
