I was utterly dumbfounded. Guys manning checkpoints in Iraq handle people with more dignity and professionalism than anything you'd find in an American airport. It's a disgrace.

You got it - And that we as a society not only tolerate it (but have segment that rush to their defense at a drop of a hat is utterly crazy). Some on here think always rushing to the defense of "authority" make you "good" or "conservative"....Simply foolishness.

That sounds like the opposite of Rudy’s quote about authority.

Do you mean to say you are rebelling?
