I wish Bush would not travel outside the country right now.

[HoustonKevin]

Major Bump!

We know this needs to be done here & NOW!!

It saddens me that we don't have the balls to do it and to hell with the PC groupies and the PC Media!

[FITZ]

Yes, they are better off than we are, they don't need to worry about "political correctness" which is our worst enemy right now.

[FITZ]

What the Hell is wrong with America? Why do we put up with these people?

We're "politically correct" is why. We don't require the Muslims to be politically correct, they can make statements about all Americans, all Jews, they can bring their hate speech-filled Koran and spew hate speeches from their mosques. They can profile us and kill us but we're supposed to let them have total access to everything in our country.

Liberals thrive on victims.

[Askel5]

Sounds like they have their heads screwed on straight over there.

Gee ... how soon until we get to be TRULY totalitarian?

[ikanakattara]

The Chinese at least don't want another wave of hijackings. They may be Communists, but they're not stupid. There was a plane sitting on the tarmac in San Jose, CA today - could still be there for all I know - because some *Middle Eastern* man got up and spread some kind of substance all around the rear of the plane, and supposedly some of it got sucked into the ventilation.

[Cleburne]

Heck, let's not just stop following the Commies, er Chinese on this. Why not start whacking all those dangerous cults like right wingers and Southern Baptists-after all, they blew up buildings and own lots of weapons and are always critical of the government. Their religion is critical of much of the government, especially homosexual "rights", abortion, and gun control. They are then opposed to the American way of life! We should deport them to some country and sieze their property and ban the practise of their religion. After all, why be scared to sacrifice a few possibly innocent people if it will save lives? < sarcasm >

[independentmind]

Gee ... how soon until we get to be TRULY totalitarian?

Do you really want to know?

Federal security experts are pressing Congress to adjourn for the year in the interests of security, but the lawmakers won't be hurried and may be in session another six weeks.

[Cleburne]

When will some people on this forum (supposedly conservative) tart pressing for the Feds to issue travel papers for state to state, heck town to town travel, say strip searches upon crossing state lines. I'm only being half sarcastic. It seems like after 9/11 a lot of conservatives lost their beliefs in a mad rush for security. I sure hope it doesn't last, and please no one misunderstand me. I understand a lot of it: fear, especially for those with children I guess. It is the whole idea of terrorism, and far too many people are playing right into it lock stock and barrel.

[Revolting cat!]

This isn't about totalitarianism vs democracy as much as about common sense vs political correctness in a culture that has lost self-assurance.

[Magician]

I can't imagine why we are allowing visitors or green card holders in the U.S. from the predominantly Muslim countries. Get them out of the U.S and the terrorist problem will decrease by 95%.

Can anyone on FR imagine the U.S. granting visas to Japanese or German national during WWII? (After most of them were just innocent people)

[Libertarian_4_eva]

China's idea of common sense is rolling over those young students who put up that statue of justice with their APCs and shooting unarmed citizens then putting rifles in their hands and telling the media to take a photo of it.

[BJungNan]

This is most odd. I wonder if Chinese intelligence knows something specific.

What is so odd about it? It does not take any intellegence to see why this is a prudent move. What is odd is that we have not taken the same precautions.

[TheLion]

What part of the deporting of illegal aliens from these countries or banning them from airline flights don't you understand?

[Askel5]

I'm sorry ... where did it say they were "illegal aliens"?

I understood that citizens (or "nationals") of any of these nations were summarily precluded from flying Chinese airlines.

A strange gesture of support, IMHO, from the same nation who's pumped our military and our nation full of Red Heroin, organized and trained marxists terrorists and revolutionaries to our south in Cuba and Latin America, supplied domestic terrorists (a/k/a criminals) with covert weapons, usurped our sovereign territory in Panama, stolen our technological and military secrets, successfully interfered in our elections and shown no compunction whatsoever to apologize for engaging our EP-3E in a maneuver that could have killed everyone on the plane they held hostage instead as if they were at war with us or sumpin.

If we can't control our own borders and customs, that's our problem.

This is just a bunch of hooey to make it look as though China's on our side, that -- like us -- China's "worried" about the selfsame terrorist cells its groomed worldwide and ... worst of all ... China's got a Better Way.

I think the last thing we need to be doing is taking a page from China on the "means necessary" to effect Order out of the chaos China itself has initiated and in which it revels where we are concerned.

[Bobby777]

We're "politically correct" is why. We don't require the Muslims to be politically correct, they can make statements about all Americans, all Jews, they can bring their hate speech-filled Koran and spew hate speeches from their mosques.

plain and simple ... the truth you speak ...

[Brian Allen]

Sophia Woodman:- "This kind of blanket ban is clearly not the way to prevent terrorism and is discriminatory."

Yes it is! -- and -- Yes it is!

[FITZ]

I'm so sick of political correctness. For liberals it's okay to racially profile when it comes to scholarship money or admission into college or jobs. If someone looks like they just came from Mexico ----give them a full scholarship, no questions asked, if someone is black you should hire them. But when suddenly it comes to scrutinizing a group who is here to kill us, receiving orders from a madman in a cave somewhere, we don't allow profiling.
