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.' "

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!
