We Are All Flying on the Germanwings Plane ... Will We Just Wait?



Crash Position

The pilot was locked out of the cockpit.

That phrase finally revealed the full horror of the crash of Germanwings flight 9525. Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz waited for the pilot to leave the cockpit, then locked the door to prevent his re-entry. After which Lubitz, for reasons unknown and perhaps unknowable, deliberately steered the jet into a harrowing 8-minute plunge ending in an explosive 434 mph impact with a rocky mountainside. 150 men, women and children met an immediate, unthinkably violent death.

Lubitz, in his single-minded madness, couldn't be stopped because anyone who could change the jet's disastrous course was locked out.

It's hard to imagine the growing feelings of fear and helplessness that the passengers felt as the unforgiving landscape rushed up to meet them.

Hard ... but not impossible.

Because America is in trouble. We feel the descent in the pits of our stomachs. We hear the shake and rattle of structures stressed beyond their limits. We don't know where we're going anymore, but do know it isn't good. And above all, we feel helpless because Barack Obama has locked us out.

He locked the American people out of his decision to seize the national healthcare system. Locked us out when we wanted to know why the IRS was attacking conservatives. He locked us out of having a say in his decision to tear up our i*********n l*ws, and to give over a trillion dollars in benefits to those who broke those laws.

Obama locked out those who advised against premature troop withdrawals. Locked out the intelligence agencies who issued warnings about the growing threat of ISIS. He locked out anyone who could have interfered with his release of five Taliban terror chiefs in return for one U.S. military deserter.

And, of course, Barack Obama has now locked out Congress, the American people, and our allies as he strikes a secret deal with Iran to determine the timeline (not prevention) of their acquisition of nuclear weapons.

Was Andreas Lubitz depressed, insane, or abysmally evil when he decided to lock that cockpit door and listen to no voices other than those in his head? Did he somehow believe himself to be doing the right thing?

The voice recordings from the doomed aircraft reveal that as the jet began its rapid descent, the passengers were quiet. There was probably some nervous laughter, confusion, a bit of comforting chatter with seatmates, followed by a brief period in which anxiety had not yet metastasized into terror.

It was only near the end of the 8-minute plunge that everyone finally understood what was really happening. Only near the end when they began to scream.

Like those passengers, a growing number of Americans feel a helpless dread as they come to the inescapable conclusion that our nation's decline is an act of choice rather than of chance. The choice of one man who is in full control of our 8-year plunge.

A man who has locked everyone out.


If you aren't screaming yet, you should be.

Great analogy - we are gaining speed and losing altitude.

Yes, Barac Obama, the most powerful man on earth. Now, how can a whole slew of white dudes and dudettes, fail to control one half black man? What kind of utter wienies have you folks sent to DC?

I mean, the very idea of one single mixed race community organizing dude, outsmarting hundreds of white lawyers - is too preposterous for words - yet - according to you - he did exactly that.

Either the folks we sent to DC to run the country are complete imbeciles - or Obama is the most charismatic, powerful and intelligent human on the planet.

Take your pick.

Unclet Loc: Amarillo, Tx

We sent complete imbeciles, or more appropriately most have just overstayed their ability. Most have sold what integrity they once had, and bought into the corruption that is politics.

lpnmajor Loc: Arkansas

THEY you can do something about, Obama is out on Jan. 20, 2017, no matter what. Leave the imbeciles in place past Obama - and you'll get a repeat performance.

What President, black, white, republican, democrat - could resist being Emperor, when given the opportunity to do so by a r****ded Congress?

Unfortunately, lpnmajor, deception is a hard pill to swallow; and is neither "powerful, intelligent or charismatic." And the "Alinskyite" ideologies of a rapidly diminishing "small circle of comrades" at the WH have already opened the flood-gates of hell. America is now being swarmed with a non-assimilating variety of cultures, both through our purposely porous borders [drug & gun cartels, sex-s***ers, Latino gang-bangers, Middle-Eastern terrorists] or by the unwitting and government forced American taxpayer funding to t***sport un-vetted, undocumented "refugee/terrorists" to every corner of our "Shining Light on the Hill;" with promises of free t***sportation, housing [millions of acres of non- assimilating "training?" properties] food, medical benefits and education. Hummmmmmm.

Funny "WE" hear all about the unfortunate and dastardly black church k*****gs, 24/7, interspersed with the "Confederate F**g" BS, but it seems the "drive-by, lap-dog, alphabet channel" MSM haven't quite gotten around to telling America "WE" are being INVADED by [MILLIONS?] of people in non-assimilating cultures from all over the world that seem to profess a strong desire of; "DEATH TO AMERICA." What's wrong with THAT picture???

True enough! Not even sure that Term Limits will scrub the corruption out of DC, but it is a start. The first step towards this to not v**e for any incumbent for 2 cycles. That will break up the passing of the baton so to speak. Prosecute wrong doing with vigor. Once they get the message that they are not above the law, and see what happens to those who break our laws, prison. Then we may make some progress. Pipe Dream I know, but that is the light at the end of my tunnel.

Forgot to add that all elected officials be required to live with the laws they pass, no exceptions, no special provisions, no protection. They have to survive as we do.

Give the drooling followers trinkets to play with as this will keep them amused. Then confuse the rest of the country with continual scandals and keep them chasing after the rabbit that they never catch. Then bring in the mafias from around the country to do your bidding along with the c*******ts and bang there you are.

Unclet Loc: Amarillo, Tx

Bang, there you are not!

America Only Loc: From the right hand of God

you left one "pick" off your list.....HITLER....Obama is NO different. Period.

Obama will also suffer the same end as Hitler, after he has done as much damage world wide as he possibly can. Almost every free (and some non free) Nation see Obama for what he really is, and they do not welcome his being there. They know the great amount of lies and how much a t*****r he is to his own nation. Most NON dip stick democraps also know this about Obozo. Only you i***t MINIONS of Kenyan Barry still desire to suck on his tail pipe.

That is exactly what Insane Barry has been doing.

My pick would be none of the above. Obama sent a message with Ferguson, Baltimore and New York, if anyone comes after him all the major cities in the US will be burnt to the ground.

CDM Loc: Florida

Very good. The added element of terror is clever and so appropriate.

Is Obama the evil or is there more to it perhaps? I think Obama is symptomatic. The Democrat Party has worked to destroy the concept of America for over a century. I see Obama as the camels nose; the time was right that a 'moderate' c*******t would be acceptable if the lie was right (it was). Obama fit the bill. The next Democrat president will be the real McCoy...a true destroyer.

We have to remember that about half the country (v**ers) is l*****t...and that element is growing. Those people are only screaming that Obama is not left enough. And they will support 'The Destroyer', big time.

The rest of us who are screaming need to break through the cockpit door and take the plane...and the only hammer we have is our v**e...we need, at minimum, those 5 million people who didn't v**e because they didn't like the conservative candidate in 2012 (how absolutely stupid is that?) to show up...and a few million more would not hurt...There is no other way...

Otherwise, we will still be screaming when we hit the ground...
