Airport Security?
By Asher Embry
Reluctantly we let Napolitano check our shoes.
By now it’s clear this exercise is mostly just a ruse.
We tell you now we’ll draw the line when TSA resorts
To checking if there’s anything secreted in our shorts.
Haphazard screening fails the test and maybe we forgive it;
But giving Qaeda 5th Amendment rights? That makes us livid!
Today the White House stages its theatrical events
To demonstrate O has a plan; of course it’s just pretense.
As long as Abdulmutallab is read Miranda rights;
We’ll miss the “ticking bombs” Al Qaeda’s placed on other flights.
And closing Gitmo down is still your terror-fighting plan?
Barack, don’t tell us that you’re doing everything you can.
As long as O keeps hoping that he’ll change jihadists’ views
Our existential war on terror’s one we’re doomed to lose.
