NUGENT: Profile or die
Washington Times ^ | May 7 2010 | Ted Nugent

Posted on 05/07/2010 8:26:18 PM PDT by NoLibZone

I profile my daughter's dates. I profile my children's friends.

I profile my band mates and employees.

I profile the fruit I am about to purchase.

I profile the sky in order to ascertain my potential need for rain gear. I profile the cleanliness of dining establishments and smiling all the way, I profile the general public as I pleasantly stroll the not-so-mean streets of America.

Conditional and environmental awareness is a powerful survival tool. Write that down.

Failing to profile based on one's life experiences is to abandon man's basic instinct to learn through trial and error. Such trials, when cataloged by intelligent people, reduce and oftentimes eliminate unnecessary future errors. This is good.

Oh, and by the way, one plus one still equals two, no matter how uncomfortable with the number two anyone may or may not be. Know it.

See if you can spot the Dalmatian.

Faisal Shahzad trained with terrorist bomb-makers in Pakistan, and married his way into naturalized American citizenship before parking his car bomb in Times Square.

El Sayyid Nosair worshipped under the blind Islam cleric for years before bombing the World Trade Center in 1993. He also married his way into America.

Ali Mohamed was a known top aide to Osama bin Laden before helping to blow up the U.S. embassies in Africa. He too used the marriage scam to enter the United States.

Khalid Abu al-Dahab trained to bomb the embassies. He married his way into U.S. citizenship.

It is time for America to get tough and intolerant to such clear and present dangers to America and Americans. Profile, act, secure. Feelings be damned. Americans be saved.

Profiling and discriminating are two words that have been hijacked by the PC police.

You learn to live that. On the plus side it never gets too hot here.

It’s Not Paranoia.

It’s Situational Awareness.

Sometimes they really are out to get you.

Sometimes It’s just Random Violence.

Either way You are Just as Dead,

If you do not remain aware of your surroundings.

And on the lighter side...

And ‘Profiling’ is wrong!”

"It is time for America to get tough and intolerant" Everyone knows that. What do you want to do?

What Ted means is - If political mechanisms and or voting means are taken out of our hands by the cheating methods as usual by the Rat Party, it will be time to take our country back by force... and that is NO JOKE!!!

We won't be the first or the last nation that has had a blood-letting revolution. Bet on it! It all depends how bad you want to keep your freedom! These arrogant leftists will cheat and lie to no end until they get what they want. They might be on the receiving end of things they never bargained for!

"At 63, with the prospect of socialism in my future, and all that entails for us old folks, paranoia tends to run supreme."

I like to think rational old people are not paranoid but simply more aware. There is a difference you know.

If there is one thing liberals can't stand, it's intolerance.

The bottom line is, the left is telling you and I that we shouldn't "profile"...using "racism" and all that malarkey to enhance the "guilt trip".

But what they are telling you is, you are way too stupid to pass judgement on, or make any choices on your own. If you think a hispanic guy with a gun in both hands and bullet belts crossed over his chest while burning an American flag "looks dangerous", you are "profiling" and you should just stand there looking stupid as he reloads to shoot your ass dead.

In other words, don't think, don't do anything except blindly accept whomever they want to throw at you...be a robot. They have got to de-sensitize you to the kind of people they prefer...thugs. That way the thugs can do whatever they want and Joe Whitebread American will slink in fear - not from being harmed - but from being "judgemental".

It's all a bunch of crap. Even dogs and cats have instinct to know when something or someone is dangerous or not, but we're asked to just accept whatever...and we're doing it, like a population of dumb-asses..

It's how they control us. This political correctness crap has made us FEAR what we are guaranteed in the First Amendment...speech, FREEDOM of speech.

Unless Americans "steel up", we are going to become modern day slaves...

No Fear

Being aware of what is around you is not paranoia. It means you don't trip over the coffee table.

how do we repeatedly allow liberals to give good things a bad name?

“Profiling” is a necessary and perfectly legitimate investigative tool

The next time some idiot liberal says “but thats profiling” say “Yer dam right it is!!! and thank god we can do that”

I’ve been slammed here before by suggesting that law enforcement is ham-strung by black/white ( maybe I should say either/or) rules of engagement. I believe there always exists a little gray area where reasonable officers might read a situation differently, especially when it comes to suspicion of or prevention of a crime, a domestic disturbance or other hot scene where someone might need to be arrested but you don’t have all the facts or the luxury of time to get the facts.

One PC solution for prevention is “random” searching. Pull every 10th in line for enhanced search, etc.

It’s like putting a blindfold on and swinging at a pinata.

The very term “reasonable suspicion” implies that something about the individual sets off your instinctive alarms. Appearance (matching description), behavior, mannerisms, dress, actions, direction of travel or speed of travel all guide an officer apprehending a criminal after a crime.

Take it a step further to anticipating crime and you must add profiling to randomness ( since you really can’t strip search everyone everywhere). This means you have to use race, religion, ethnicity, manner of speech, dress, attitude and demeanor, eye contact or lack thereof, or other less definable sensory input to be effective.

I think the goal is to be effective. If statistics point to certain criteria as being high probability, then the suspicion becomes reasonable.

Cats and dogs seem to posses more common sense than many humans do and that is very sad.
