Frankly, I need to get a police scanner

You really should get one. You might hear Newt on his cell phone.

And by that analysis, if we suppose the Arab-looking men are somehow involved

Why did they try to evade the roadblock?

It's time for you to get an education. 77% of American-Arab citizens are Christian. Arabs are not our enemies, people who knowingly embrace Islam are.

You might want to seek a bit of higher learning yourself. It is TERRORISTS and the governments that support and harbor them that are our enemies, not every person who embraces Islam.

Local news: Box contained money. $50,000 said to be saved for purchase of a convenience store (no lie). Illnesses being shrugged off as some sort of psychosomatic thing.

Local news reports that nothing but money found in box with odor eminating from it. Road open and all ok. Nothing to see here folks, move along just a stinky arab touched some money and now the money smells. Don't overreact. now move along. They had closed the turnpike offramp near the bank and closed the busiest road in West Palm Beach due to some smelly money.

You can choose to believe this if it makes you feel better, but nevertheless it doesn't change the fact that Islam has been, and will always be, Christian's enemy.

More than likely a bank employee noted that an "arab looking" customer came into the bank with a package, went into the safe deposit boxes, and came out with nothing.

The rest of the problem was pure imagination.

This is not good. People are overreacting to things. What this story tells me is that any criminal can buy a smoke machine and a couple of stink bombs, and half the cops in the city will show up. It's a great diversion if you want to rob a bank on the other side of town.

Christianity and Islam do indeed oppose one another on theological grounds. But, when you take it beyond doctrinal debates and actually engage in physical acts of violence on the basis of religious belief, you are no different than the terrorists themselves. Apparently you have no respect for President Bush's request that you NOT target people solely on the basis of their ethnicity or religion. Bear in mind that there are plenty of non-muslim American citizens who will give you a good spanking for perpetrating violence on others who happen to be innocent.

Time to give a lot of Arabs a choice:
Deportation, incarceration, or extermination.

I would add Conversion AND Loyalty oath AND Naturalization.

But maybe I'm naive...

Its time to get the Arabs out of this country. NOW! And your PC rationalization is becoming a threat to myself and my family's existence. It is people like you that will concede you were wrong as you lay in the hospital bed covered in the horrid little bumps dying from small pox. Put your head in the ground ostrich. Ignore the fact that there are now 5 confirmed cases of Anthrax in the US. The universal link is the postmarks from Florida. We know that the terrorist cell was based in Florida. Have you heard about Mr. Atta's little visit to the pharmacy yet. These are all verified by the US Government, not a radio host. Im afraid your analogy to Orson Welles does not hold up here. You can take your feel good politically correct ideas and shove them straight up your rational @$$.

Two questions for you:

1. How many really old Jewish men have you ever seen? Answer: Not many. Their wives want many things, so Jewish husbands work themselves to death. Often, all that is left is an insurance policy that allows their wives to move to Fla. and live in a retirement home with their female friends who have already moved there...no joke.

2. My primary question: Is this the same group of residents there that didn't know how to operate a voting machine, and who hate Pat Buchanan?

Gee, where do I begin on these....

1. On the average, wome tend to live a lot longer than men. For a lot of these old Jewish men and women who were in camps, and there were lots who later moved into South Florida, let's just say those years took off a few years of their lives.

Your certainly aren't shy about making broad sweeping generalizations. It also sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, "Jewish wives want so many things, they work their husbands into an early grave."

Just a hunch, but you are probably not Jewish.

2. Yes, some of those people were the ones that allegedly miscast their votes for old Pat.

Hey, I said those who truly embrace Islam are Christians' enemies, but I didn't say kill them all. However, it would be wise to deport them from our country though.

The oldest revenge trick on a bank is to rent a safety deposit box for a year and "store" a fish that is no longer a favorite, but you may want in the future. Not sure if Limburger cheese has the same effect.

Perhaps that Wisconsin school board can take time out from their anti-American activities and do a study on the Wisconsin Limburger cheese industry.
