TV talking heads blamed Iraq for the GWB low poll numbers today. The MSM overlooks dissent about our borders, immigration, and other issues consistent with conservatives and legions of people who have concern Homeland Security won't perform any better than FEMA during Katrina.
Welfare recipients (noted above) have nothing to lose and everything to gain by civil disruption (media attention and goods obtained from looting). As in France, political correctness will prevent arrests. The ACLU and CAIR will jump on the bandwagon and say the thugs are victims if it happens here. When the students in Ohio were killed for protesting many years ago, our government tolerated NO dissent. We've digressed completely the other extreme these days - anything and everything goes, sadly no matter what the cost to our country's image or to the law-abiding, taxpaying citizens of our country.
