What? Me Worry? Says Obama!

Newsmax has an interesting post on terrorists "actively" (here) seeking nuclear weapons.

It seems to me that it was only a few weeks ago that Barack Obama was telling us we didn't have to fear "little nations" like Iran and North Korea. How dumb can you be? If a nuclear bomb goes off in New York City of Washington DC, does it matter at all that it was sold to a terrorist group like Al Qaeda by someone like Iran? No, you are just as dead. That is why we must stay on the offensive and stop these killers before they strike again. This is "War" not a legal criminal habeas court action.

Obama's logic reminds me of cartoon character Alfred E. Neuman from the 1950's Mad Magazine saying, "What? Me Worry?" Ya, that is "Change" alright!

Anarchists in Droves!

September 2008 is shaping up to be an exciting time for Minnesota. As a National Delegate to the Republican National Convention, I'm beginning to wonder if I need to break out the old body armor for my entry into the convention. I'm not sure Mayor's R. T. Rybak (Minneapolis) and Chris Coleman (St. Paul) understand the gravity of the situation. If they did, they would likely not be so willing to roll out the red carpet to these groups. Many rank and file police officers from both cities are quietly expressing concern for public safety. Here is an example I found on Minnesota Monitor (Out-of-state activists target the RNC) as to why!

A protest group calling itself Unconventional Michigan is organizing teach-ins in Lansing, MI for those interested in protesting the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Their mission statement was listed in an article titled, Unconventional Michigan plans to shut down RNC by: Eartha Jane Melzer. The following is from her article: "We believe that disrupting the convention offers a unique opportunity to take our opposition to the war, ecological destruction and other institutional forms of oppression to the next level," the group writes, "We remember the excitement that permeated the movement post-Seattle and believe that the conventions this summer could offer a similar opportunity. Moreover, we believe that talking about direct action and the political conventions could increase interest in and facilitate participation in existing radical projects across Michigan while also inspiring new projects."

These groups will have plenty of opportunity to disrupt the convention. Getting delegations that will be spread out some 30 to 40 miles from the St. Paul convention site will aford these groups a target rich road system that a very small group could shut down for hours. I doubt that any of these groups will be successful at penetrating the convention itself, but anything is possible when the main stream media is involved.

All this will make for high adventure for the good citizens of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
