1. Do we have no fly lists and terror watch lists? How do people get on those lists? Are you aware of the procedures in place that will flag a passenger for additional screening?

2. What is the ‘actual threat’? How does your profiling procedure address the ‘actual threat’? How would your procedure catch those who pose an actual threat but don’t fit the profile of an ‘actual threat’?

3. Even if your were right about everything in your 3rd point (you are not) so what? It is irrelevant and nothing more than an ad hominem response. The fact is... there appears to be a tendancy toward simplistic group think on the part of a few posters... these posters appear to want to participate in an echo chamber rather than to discuss solutions to a problem. Anyone who dares to do anything other than to toe the line is branded a ‘newbie’ ‘rino’ ‘cair supporter’ ‘liberal’ or some other ignorant ad hominem label. True conservatives don’t think like this. Real conservatives can use their intellectual capacities to reason through discussions.

Ain’t she great. She’s just the best and there’s no close second.

The most impressive to me is how fearless she is -- she takes on elite media, atheists/secularists, global warmists, peak oilists, feminist shrews, RINOs, political correctness,... and is still standing, with a smile and without apologies to anyone.

feminist shrews

Uh, my single biggest problem with Palin is that she displays the tendencies of a feminist shrew. Her attack on stay-at-home mothers was nothing short of unconscionable. The fact that she tended to endorse RINO females over good Conservative males only confirmed that suspicion for me. (Handel over Deal in Georgia.) I won't vote for a feminist.

And we’ve not had anyone so fearless since Reagan.

So YOU don't like being (even when you paranoidly imagine it)
called an "ignorant ad hominem label", but it is A-OK
for you to throw the worst you can claw up.

So YOU don't like being (even when you paranoidly imagine it) called an "ignorant ad hominem label", but it is A-OK for you to throw the worst you can claw up.

I know that you worship at the altar of Palin, but what I said is an undeniable fact. She called those who supported stay-at-home mothers (something the Bible encourages) "Neanderthals" and actually defended Geraldine Ferraro:

SARAH PALIN:“And Geraldine has also been grossly attacked back in ‘84, and I remember, um, as a young college student watching what it was that you were going through and knowing that a.) and more power to you for busting that glass ceiling you know and standing on the shoulders of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony, and others who had come before you, of course, so many years ago. And, then you busting through and then the opportunity that I and other woman following you have, have been able to seize. That’s just been wonderful. It’s been great for our nation, it’s been so good. But, yeah, it kind of seems, Geraldine that some things haven’t changed. There are still the Neanderthals out there, who pick on the petty little superficial meaningless things like looks, like whether you can or can’t work outside of the home if you have small children. All those type of things where I would so hope that at some point, uh, those Neanderthals, will evolve into something a bit more, um, with it, a bit more modern, and a bit more understanding that, yeah, woman can accomplish much…”

(I have a video of the above transcript if you would like.)

Further, it is an undeniable fact that Palin tended to endorse women over the more Conservative male candidates, the most glaring example of this was in Georgia, where Palin endorsed Karen Handel, who was soft on pro-life and family issues and who was paling around with Log Cabin 'Republicans' over Nathan Deal, who was far more Conservative. Deal ended up winning anyway, but it doesn't change the fact that Palin endorsed Handel, and the only reason I can see that she did so was because of her gender.

This topic has been addressed for a while now:

There are many other examples where Palin endorsed a woman over a more Conservative male:

Angela McGlowan over Alan Nunnelee in the primary. (Nunnelee ended up winning anyway.)

Rita Meyer over Matt Mead and Ron Micheli (Mead ended up winning anyway.)

Ayotte over Lamontagne in New Hampshire.

There are other examples as well.

So, you can continue to worship at the altar of Palin if you like, but these things are an undeniable fact, no matter if you want to throw a tantrum or not.
