Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

November 24, 2010

It?s doubtful that there is a more mild-mannered public figure than Ron Paul, the Republican congressman from Texas. Dr. Paul?s disposition is as mild as buttermilk, and his patience is all but inexhaustible. But being publicly groped and humiliated at an airport checkpointwas enough to leave the Congressman fuming and calling for a boycott of the government-managed airline industry.

As a TSA official shoved his hands down the Congressman?s pants, Paul exclaimed in disgust: ?How can you live with yourself, feeling up strange men all day long?? To which the tax-fed drone sneeringly replied: ?I love my job.?

Unless they?re willing to endure public molestation, or be arrested for withdrawing consent, Americans should avoid airports. But John Pistole, the empire-building bureaucrat in charge of the agency, is planning to expand his realm to include trains and subways. Homeland Security Commissarina Janet Napolitano wants to inflict the same measures on every available mode of transportation.

There is no alternative: The TSA must die.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
