Socialism is fundamentally stupid. You folks should know that from personal experience.

Sorry about the incomplete thought, but I wish someone would tell the GOP about it.

"From a national security perspective, we can't afford to have whole communities feel alienated".



I'm more concerned about "whole communities" wiped out by jihadists, but I suppose my priorities are misguided!

From a national security perspective, a certain community existing within it is something that cannot be afforded.

I don't know if he is correct or not. Profiling might not be the way to go. But to be sure, let's take a little test and see.

Who do you think is more likely to hijack an airplane?


Take off your shoes please Mrs. Walker.

GOOD ONE!

However, #2 might slip something into #1's luggage while she was showing off pics of the great-grandkids.....or is even more likely to be working as a baggage handler.

But if all the #2s in the country were identified, monitored, tapped (after drilling, of course LOL), and banned from airports, schools, chemical plants, welfare benefits, and immediately deported at the first hint of a problem, #1 and the rest of us would be far safer.

Sorry for sounding like I was from DU for a while there. I hope the second paragraph clarified things a bit.

If you are posting from China now, you must just be getting your day started.

I bet someone in the government over there gets a kick from my tagline too!

Is CSIS really an intelligence agency?

It's a difficult issue, this London plot was foiled because a Muslim turned them in. Back in 1995/1996 a plot was foiled in Brooklyn because an arab guy went to the police about his roommates. (I bet if they 9/11 hijackers stayed in NYC, they would have been turned in). Innocent Muslims will be the first to hear of these plots, we have to make sure they feel they are part of the country, the community. It's not "Terrorists are blowing up white people." but "Terrorists are blowing us up."

On the flip side, when we are talking about "profiling" is just having to answer a few more questions, unpack your bags, etc. Nobody is going to throw you in a darken jail and beat you with garden hoses. So deal with it.

Finally, the easiest way around profiling is just recruit white men to your cause, give them a shave and a haircut.

What tag line? I did not think I had one going. What does it say?

You let me know when that starts happening and I'll go along with you.

But right now almost all these mutts seem to be arabic muslim males between the ages of 17 and 40, usually having 'mohamet' in their names, and usually having a bad mustache.

While I wouldn't exclude othere groups, I'd sure be giving any one who fits the above profile some real careful extra scrutiny.

MSM will highlight all who are white 'extremists' arrested in terrorist investigations... the sum total of which may equal 1/10th of 1% when all is said and done.
Nevermind the facts, each and every 'white' face will garner more press than thousands of Muslim/ME faces perpetrating acts of terror on peaceful citizens.

..the more things change the more they remain the same... same old cr@p, different bottle....

Do you know who Richard Reid is?
How about John Walker Lindh?

While you and your yahoos will be pulling over New York City cops because they're Arabs, you are going to let loony left white boys who are smart enought to shave go right on by and blow up a plane.
