Homeland Security: Despite overwhelming support in and out of Congress, legal protection for airline passengers who report suspicious behavior is being blocked by Democratic leaders. Wasn't one 9/11 enough for them?
Were it not for the courage and sacrifice of the passengers of United Flight 93 who forced their plane into a Pennsylvania field, many in Congress might not be here today, with a gaping hole where the U.S. Capitol still stands. We wonder if this fact is appreciated by those trying to block final passage of the so-called "John Doe" provision protecting from legal action those who report suspicious behavior on airplanes.
Today's passengers have an advantage. They know what can happen. They know what to look for. They will not be taken by surprise, and they are willing to take action. But some in Congress would sacrifice their lives on the altar of political correctness.
Last November, six Muslim imams leaving an Islamic conference were removed from U.S. Airways Flight 300 in Minneapolis when passengers reported that the imams had acted in suspicious ways. Both U.S. Airways and the passengers soon became targets of legal action charging discrimination and racial profiling.

Blocking this bill should boost Congress’s approval ratings. ;O)
We need names. Give us details. We can handle the truth. Without names, we cant fix the problem.
But don’t you know???? Republicans are a bigger threat to the libs than the terrorists are. The Dems fool themselves into thinking that by playing “nice” the terrorists will only kill conservatives - wasn’t it Michael Moore who commented that by committing terrorism in New York City that the Terrorists were killing the “wrong” people since NYC is largely Dem. He should have been arrested for “hate speech” on the spot.
Good editorial. RIP Todd Beamer and the passengers and crew of flight 93.
The dims just don’t get it. They really believe the terrorist will spare them when they attack this great Nation again.
the lib/dem’s more interested in the rights of muzzie terrorists than US citizens....if the plane with the flying imams had blown up....the lib/dems would have jsut blamed jorge bush for not doing enough....
but it would not have been jorge bush’s fault...he has been way too busy with this leave no mexican illegal behind!!!
http://www.opensecrets.org/pubs/toporgs/topdonors.asp
list below shows the top overall political donors to federal candidates and political parties since the 1989-90 election cycle. In all, these organizations have given just over $1 billion during that period. Totals for the 2001-2002 election cycle are based on the latest reports released by the Federal Election Commission as of October 7, 2002.
The percentages in the list show how much of each organization’s money went to Democrats and Republicans, and how much came from PACs, from individuals connected with the organization, and from soft money contributions to the national parties. The soft money is further broken down by donations that came from individuals, versus those contributed by the organization itself. See the methodology section on page 36 for further details on how the numbers were compiled.
Rank Donor Total To Dems To Repubs From PACs From Indivs Soft Money Soft from Orgs Soft from Indivs
1 Amer Fedn of State/Cnty/Munic Employees $30,671,426
2 National Education Assn $21,116,383
3 National Assn of Realtors $20,414,385

8 American Medical Assn $18,377,814
9 Service Employees International Union.(Lots of Illegals here).$17,647,346..TO DEMOCRATS 98%
We need to identify those who are blocking this bill and get their names and deeds in every possible publication.
It is always “Democrats Blocking....” but lets have some names.
Islamofascist terrorists have no better friends than their Democrat accomplices in Congress.
Michelle Malkin has the details.

I am writing my Senators this morning.
You are so correct. Why do you think they cheered for the rats last November? It sure wasn’t because they like them better. It was because they know exactly the dims won’t do anything to prevent another attack on our Nation should they (the democRats) get total power back.
It’s not surprising that the Unions contribute the majority to the rats
What bothers us is why some Democrats want to let them.
It bothers us, too.
What also bothers us is we all know the answer, yet nobody will voice it much less make it a cause to expose these Islamo-loving fascists for what they are and what they are doing. This outrage should be headlines and the lead story on every news outlet in the country and on the lips of every decent politician and bureaucrat in power who has a voice!
Instead, silence.
They are getting away with imposing their PC views on us (against the will of the American people) by gelding our individual ability to act as the eyes and ears of our own safety in the most basic ways. These traitors will be the death of us all!
Brownback a no-show on this most important vote? Can we forever label him......Yellowback....?
I don’t mean to dispute your word, but that is one of the most disgusting things I have read in a long time. It is difficult to believe that even those words could come from Moore’s fat mouth.
The Democrats will have BLOOD on their hands for this!!! This will NOT be Forgotten!!! Dems despise Bush soooooo much they are willing to DIE and have their Kids and Grandkids DIE in order for the US to LOSE to these barbarians!!
