So today’s big headline that has people foaming at the mouth is this: Reuters
To summarise, senator Rand Paul set off the scanner at an airport, then refused to be searched. He was not allowed to continue into the secured area of the airport. He had to wait, book a second flight, return to security, and be scanned again (he passed this time, having gotten rid of whatever it was he used to set the scanner off the first time.)
Now, everyone knows full well how I feel about the TSA. Adding more fucking cops to our national equation has never been the answer to anything. They’re an inept pack of power-mad assholes who should be disbanded. The entire TSA amounts to corporate welfare in the first place. Why is it a public responsibility to secure the airlines, a private industry?
However, a Democrat is in the White House, so you know this means that anything done by any government stooge anywhere is somehow the direct responsiblity of the president, and he must be impeached now now now, right? Never mind that it was the Bush administration that brought us the TSA in the first place, and their counterpart, the fucking DHS assholes who spend all their time making sure migrant workers aren’t smoking weed. But I digress…
Why exactly is it that Paul, upon refusing to be searched, was not immediately beaten to a shitty pulp, tazed in the butthole, bitten in the groin by police dogs, dragged to some small room somewhere, and forcibly searched? That’s exactly the sequence of events that would have occurred if any normal person (not a Senator) were to do the same thing. I myself was forced to REMOVE MY FUCKING PRINCE ALBERT PIERCING AT THE RENO AIRPORT IN FRONT OF A WHOLE LINE OF PEOPLE because I set off the scanner. Yet this asshole can set it off, refuse a search, and doesn’t get a fist up his shitter for the trouble? Fuck! You or I would have been arrested for inciting panic or causing a public menace or whatever other bullshit law they use to fuck around people who don’t comply with the machine. Yet this fucking prick walks away and just takes another flight.
Now, you would think that Paul would realise that he managed to avoid anal electrocution and violation by virtue of his social status, STFU about the whole thing, and go on with life. But, of course, this is fucking America, where everyone has shit for brains, so instead it’s a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS!!!!!!!11111111
So yes, the US constitution says that you can’t detain a congressman on his way to session. However, it says nothing about allowing them to waltz through airport security after they set off a scanner. Of course, the Paul camp is claiming that not allowing him to continue to the secured area of the airport, they were “detaining” him. This is a hell of a stretch, but let’s look at it for a moment. This asshole is claiming that because a private business (the airport) didn’t bend its rules to allow him to do what he wanted, despite the fact that they’re legally required NOT to bend those rules, his rights have somehow been violated.
I’ve got a reality check for you, Rand. If I did the same thing you did this morning, I wouldn’t be here to post on this blog. I’d still be getting “interrogated” by DHS jackboots, probably on my way to some detention facility where I would be reminded that “fist” can sometimes be a verb.
The real fucking travesty here is that Paul didn’t get the same treatment that the rest of us would have. Worse, a bunch of fucktards are actually pissed that he couldn’t just walk right onto the plane anyway. Do you assholes really desire a fucking aristocracy so desperately that you’d elevate some asshole SENATOR above the laws he helps inflict on the rest of us?
Now I hate the fucking TSA, yeah. Everyone already knew that. And I fucking DESPISE Rand Paul because he’s an aristocratic prick who supports corporate welfare but opposes social spending. Now I have one more to add to the list: I’m sick as fuck of idiots who are so desperate to support some fucking political party or person that they buy completely 100% into whatever pure horseshit that party or person spews. Politiots, all of them, and they render their opinions irrelevant with their blind idiotic acceptance.
Rand Paul’s an asshole, and I believe he did something deliberately to set off that scanner so he’d have a chance to grandstand and get some publicity. The only tragedy here is that he didn’t suffer the same fate as any of the rest of us would have for doing the same thing. Fuck him, and fuck everyone like him. I hope they all choke on piss in hell.
