Please pause a moment, reflect back, and take the following multiple choice test. The events are actual cuts from past history. They actually happened!

` a. Bonnie and Clyde
` b. Captain Kangaroo
` c. Billy Graham
` d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

Nope, ... I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?

So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us and CAIR (The Council on American-Islamic Relations), airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss – but leave Muslim males between the ages 17 and 40 alone because of profiling.

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with bozo bureaucrats at Norman Mineta’s Department of Transportation feel doubly ashamed of themselves - if they have the capacity to do so. It will do no good to send it to the professional apologists for Islamic Terrorism at CAIR, so you needn’t bother.

Read "Flying Blind" by Michael Smerconish, the PHila morning man and former attorney on WPHT.

Why has Mineta's resignation not been requested? He should have been the first to go. A Clintonoid who needs to be dumped.

I agree, GM Strong
Mineta's background as an encampment detainee explains his
objections to profiling.
He is TOO politically correct to be in the position he holds.
I don't understand Bush retaining him.

BTW, I used to enjoy listening to Smerconish when he was on in the evening.
I live in Michigan and can only pull in WPHT in the early evening.

That is something I can't understand.. His political correctness is hurting our war on terror and is undermining our efforts to keep America safe. Was he a hold over from the prior Administration? Bush held too many people from the Clinton era. He is now changing that and I don't understand why this guy is not first on his list.

Maybe on the second hand I do understand. (Political correctness..) Is the fear of lib judges so great? If we change our policy it would give the lib lawyers lots more work and with the judges we have most of them would win their cases against the US govt.. We are being held captive by our own judical system.. Judges shouldn't be able to rule the day.. That has to change..

if'n you pass this around, scratch Muslim male extremist
and replace it with Palestinian male extremist

even though he was raised in the militant Arab and Muslim world, Sirhan was a Palestinian Christian.

He was born in Jerusalem, but his parents emigrated when he was an infant. His father abandoned ship and returned to Jordan not to long after and he grew up in SoCal with his siblings. (not a excuse) That is an interesting article but full of conjecture about the '68 election and aftermath. Interestingly, Sirhan was interested in the Baath party activities in the Mid-East at the time, but that cannot lead to any conclusions.
