These are the three best opinion columns I could find regarding the 7/4 LAX gunman at the El Al (Israeli) ticket counter. It's time for American law enforcement to resume the use of racial profiling, and take the heat from the Left (along with the success at arresting and prosecuting offenders) that it would inevitably bring.

It smells like victory.

Great post.

Suggestion: Not to fight PC with yet more PC, I would suggest that law enforcement say, "Wait a damned minute. It's not RACIAL profiling -- it's CRIMINAL profiling with only ONE of the characteristics of the profile being race!" That's not being PC, that's just providing the proper definition for what they are doing. The libs have once again defined the issue by incorrectly characterising it. Law enforcement HAS to reclaim the language of their profession -- or continue to made impotent by the libs.

I think that Ann Coulter nailed it when she mentioned that 100% of the airline hijackings in the past 20 years were by Muslims of Middle Eastern descent. So she advised airport security to be on the alert for Muslims of Middle Eastern descent. When the likelihood reaches 100%, Coulter said, "That's not called 'profiling.' That's called 'a description of the suspect.' "

What if he was a (government) stooge and the people he killed were acceptable losses to further the socialization of America ?

As long as we are presenting senerios.

Baby bush has declared "War" and extended the Emergency Powers Act that has been in effect since Roosevelt , giving the president power over the rest of the government. He's covered up for Cheney once and will have to again as information on Halliburton comes out.

Halliburton a construction corporation that Cheney "used" to head will probably be building a pipeline for Unocal a big oil corporation once Afghanistan is "settled". Afghanistan's newly imposed leader "used" to work at Unocal. Appearantly Afghanistan's "vice president" wasn't going to play ball with the oil barons , so he had to be eliminated.

I wonder if the next vice president of Afghanistan will have worked for Unocal ? I won't even get into the drug side of this , but it appears the "War on Terrorism" is being used to secure more profits for American elites and our president is covering for them and himself.

All this as he tries to change the structure of our Government to aid ridding themselves of our Constitution.

Which will be replaced by the UN's constitution.

The UN being another elite tool besides war to push us into world rule.

On February 1, 1992 , president george herbert walker bush (pappa bush) stated: "My vision of a New World Order forsees the UN with a revitalized peacekeeping function. It is the sacred principles enshrined in the UN charter (written by Alger Hiss) to which we henceforth pledge our allegiance."

Alger Hiss was a known Russian spy and CFR member.

It really is a small world.

"The Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution. I am an enemy to all banks , discounting bills or notes for anything but coin . If the American people allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency , first by inflation and then by deflation , the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

Thomas Jefferson

Over twohundred years ago Thomas Jefferson was able to tell us exactly what would happen if we allowed nongovernment control of our economy.

Which is exactly what happened through the "federal reserve act" in 1913, when foreign investors/banksters took control and we became their economic slaves.

The federal reserve is NOT part of our government and is a privately owned central bank which will consume everything we have , just as Thomas Jefferson foretold.

Federal Reserve

This war on terrorism is just another part of a play , so they can get what they want , EVERYTHING.

No matter how many of us have to die.

Maybe I missed it in our controlled history class , but did American's actually decide to become SHEEP ?

If we did , I'll hold all my comments to Baah Baahhh , then everyone will understand.

Agreed, but how do you get that one segment of our society to view it that way? Until they do, law enforcement (government) won't. It might hurt someone's itty bitty feelings!

I hope you are studying this man's attitude style amigo!!! You've got the verbiage chops, you've got the soul-blessed rhythm ... observing your writing style over the years John I liken your economical and bemused style to Steyn's in a lot of ways. You use a turn of momentum or an engaging phrase instead of ponderous vocabulary, as does Steyn. That's a really neat tool, and believe me, my conjuring of Steyn's patter when I read your best stuff is major props from me friend!

John, the only thing you are lacking is that mean-assed "just back from the pub" 'tude that the Brits and North American wordsmiths employ so often! Whenever Coulter, Steyn, Hitchens, Pruden, O'Rourke or Tyrell(talkin' ponderous vocabulary!) sit down to muse at 20 minutes past boozehole whistle blow ... well, they've got slave interns to sort the genius from the rant. That's our role here friend!

Just don't make me sort during any show that a TV Judge is teaching me about the Constitutional duties of our independendent Judiciary branch! The beyatch threw ALL his romance CDs into the lit fireplace? She's a no good bloodsuckin ho, just like his dogs warned him!!! This one's going to the nine wraiths in DC.

Oh oh, it turns out he didn't show up at the hospital to be with her as she delivered his baby because he was getting busy with her no-good sister, in her bed, using her favorite positions. The plaintiff has solidly established his role as a "backstabbin playa". Mitigating evidence?

Law sure is complex, I'm glad we have 2 billion professionals to make it all go away at $150/hour.

Boom boom, as they say on the comedy shows

No, "Boom boom (out go the lights)" is what Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush say in soup lines in Oakland these days. Comedy shows on American TV have gay men say something catty and incorrigibly tart about straight men to get the ironic laughter from the exclusively gay male and unsexed female studio audiences they encounter.

I have this image that Allah looks like Fred Sanford's pal Brady. And he'd prefer all his "followers" just walk into the ocean. Zeus and Odin can deal with the bilge.

Over twohundred years ago Thomas Jefferson was able to tell us exactly what would happen if we allowed nongovernment control of our economy.

Sure he did! Jefferson knew he was a bloviating tsunami of crap, just like everyone else. They were all philosopher kings, then they heckled each other and got down to the dirty, frustrating, pragmatic business of designing THE perfect masterpiece of human government. "Well, I didn't trust the Massachussets beast servicers" ... "We put that in because all the Georgians are servicing their Goat Gods in the blessing of Pan." "I think Rutledge is a drunken sodomizer ... but he has an ugly side as well .... ". "I think Franklin just soiled the entire second row of our Assembly with his urine!" "Jefferson is fond of aged Moorish men and he's likely off in pursuit" "Adams adores his nephews over and over and over". That's our legacy.

If you do a global word search on all historical accounts of Islam ... I'm going out on the limb ... but I'm going to predict that the words "attack", "war", "conquer", "massacre", "kill", "rule", "battle", "death", "destroy", "revenge", "blood" "contol", "convert", "unbeliever", and "army" appear more often than "plant", "grow",
"build", "design", "develop", "think", "invent", "free", "vote", "read", "write", "tolerate", "defend","learn", "peace", "live" and "commerce".

"...ordinarily pious Muslims do not think it right to murder complete strangers"

Perhaps, Mark, but they are suspiciously supportive of those who do.

To say nothing of "jihad" and "fatwa".

Oh that's right. "Jihad" just means "struggle"--just like "Kampf" in German. It doesn't necessarily mean "murder", "kill", "war", and "death".

A favorite Mark Steyn quote:
"to demonstrate that we eschew 'racial profiling', we go out of our way to look for people who don't look anything like the people we're looking for."
