Keeping The Flying Imams Airborne

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.

There’s a good poster on the page that really says it all.

The dims are siding with the trial attorneys instead of with the voting citizenry

[Arrowhead1952]

See this thread. It should read Senate, not House. The roll call vote is in reply #22.

House Dems Kill John Doe Amendment

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

By now, everyone with a brain is in agreement that there is a deep and lasting alliance of the left and the jihadis.

[Kakaze]

Was it racism to report these actions? Stereotyping? Heather MacDonald of the Manhattan Institute notes: "A stereotype in this instance is nothing more than a compilation of facts about who has attacked American interests in the past and who, given what we know, is most likely to do so in the future."

Thank god someone said it.......Its not racist nor bigoted to point out and act on past experience.

I fly about once a month and I don't give a damn what they call me, I know in my heart who I am.......And I would rather be alive and falsely labeled than I would be politically correct and DEAD!

So sue me.

“...They really believe the terrorist will spare them when they attack this great Nation again.”

Liberals think very highly of themselves. They call themselves “Intellectuals”, and “Progressives” don’t they? (Tells us all what they think of the rest of us.)

No problem, they’ll simply talk to those Barbarians and have them eating from the palms of their hands like widdle puppies./s

[DeweyCA]

The Dems got a bunch of Muslim votes, especially in Michigan, in 2006 and want to get more of them in 2008.

We need names. Give us details. We can handle the truth. Without names, we cant fix the problem.

Dude! This issue has been well reported in the conservative blogosphere. If you don't get a mitt and get in the game you won't "fix" anything. Stop waiting for things to be handed to you.

[WVNan]

It wouldn’t make me too angry if the terrorists succeeded in leveling Congress if no innocents were affected.

I'm waiting for relatives and friends of the terrorists aboard Flight 93 to sue the estates of all the passengers who resisted before they all died.

And I'm also waiting for Pelosi, Boxer, Kennedy and others to support the terrorists.
Am I questioning their patriotism? Oh yeah. Not just that, I continue to condemn their continuing treason.

[silverleaf]

oh, the dims get it.

Madame Pelosi who dropped the John Doe protection clause, insists on private aircraft for her self and her family and her staffers, in the name of “security”— remember?

She makes sure there will never be flying imams booked on HER flights.

Use the following link the view the names. A direct link doesn not seem to work.

[Publius6961]

Please note that every dimbulb who voted NOT to protect passengers who speak out have a (D) after their names.
Its a coincidence.

[phillyfanatic]

But they support truth, the American way, our troops and no one should question their patriotism, huh?

[FormerACLUmember]

The IslamoNazis are de facto allies of the democrat paty.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

“Flyin’ Imams” ping......

On or off this list, FRmail me. All requests cheerfully honored.

Might have an update later this evening.......
