Where were cops when plane was stolen?

We live in a time and place where the police state is real and present, but common sense is out the window.

We the citizens are treated with suspicion by the ever-present police agencies, be it the city, state, county, border patrol, customs or homeland security agents, all under the guise of “protecting us.”

Two Monday nights ago,  at about 3 a.m., a car stops near the end of the runway, the lights go out, and doors shut in the dark; a local citizen alerts the sheriff’s office that responds within about 10 minutes to find an empty stolen car. 

“End of issue” “get real.”  Where are all the border patrol agents? Where are the K-9 units?  Where are the Homeland Security agents”?

They know that only a short time before the airport in Creston was broken into, attempted theft of an aircraft, stolen weapons, a stolen car abandoned near the border and a car stolen on the U.S. side and this is the car that is abandoned at the end of the runway. 

In all of these agencies is anybody home?  Hello.  The person or persons who have done this lay low for another night and the next morning fly off with a $340,000 aircraft to who knows where and for what reason?

What if some day they are professional terrorists and want to do some real harm?  Almost all these federal agents provide little service or security to the citizen, but have the real power to enslave us while giving a sense of false security. 

The only real service they may provide is to stimulate the local doughnut market, but as for common sense and security, there is no one at home.

We are expecting a huge rise in socialistic schemes of all types government and more of it is the answer to our needs.  These answers are only illusions that will end in crushing private free enterprise while bankrupting our nation not only financially, but also morally. 

For those who feel liberty without responsibility will find neither.
