Here is video of Ann Coulter and Matthew Littman (former Obama campaign advisor) debating whether political correctness has endangered our country and whether we should be profiling or not. (Video)
Littman said that it makes him "nervous" to have a separate line for "one group of people" and said that he would like to see more "full body searches" instead.
Ann Coulter said that liberals are "willing to violate the civil liberties of two million Americans a day to not upset Muslims" instead of just "asking a guy from Nigeria to go through an extra check, when his own father warned us."

Like always, Ann is great! God Bless her.
Hey Littman, it makes me nervous being on a plane with an islamawhacko with a bomb in his shorts! I think we have to face the fact that with Obama as president and cabinet members like Holder and Napolitano, we are in serious trouble for the next three years, as they are all fundamentally uninterested in and incapable of fighting jihadis.
Kill political correctness before it kills you.
Littman, stay right where you are...
Then you may see Barney F flying commercial in that case.
PROFILING
Formerly known as COMMOM SENSE
This began in the Bush administration with the moronically PC Norman Mineta as DOT secretary.
Situational awareness, common sense, staying alive, saving your nation, saving your culture...the list goes on. Take your pick.
PC, multiculturalism and ‘non-discrimination’ are nation and people killers.
Mmmmm, Sharpton must be on vacation. Not a peep. Mmmmm...
I’m all for profiling, but how do we reliably know if a given passenger is a member of the Cult of Death? They can change their names to John Jones, shave their dirty beards, and wear normal peoples’ clothes.
Well, we should work with info. that we have. You’re right somebody could change their name. But this guy was Muslim, he was from Nigeria, he bought a one way ticket with cash, was on a watch list, though not the no fly list. I wouldn’t let concerns that we can’t be 100% certain about people’s intentions stop us from common sense profiling.
Who is the bigger terror threat? The grandmother from middle America, or a Muslim male from a foreign country? Why do we have to bend over backward to prove that we will treat these people equally for security purposes? What are we trying to prove to whom by doing so? With limited resources, should we really have invasive searches of every individual, rather than the ones who pose the biggest threat?
You gotta love how Napolitano said the system worked. She said the passengers and crew responded appropriately. Part of her security system involves the luck of having alert active passengers who move into action quickly enough to stop someone from blowing up a plane.
Ok - I chuckled...
