I can count on one hand the things I have agreed with Joe Leiberman. I was proud to have a SORE LOSERMAN sign in my yard after the 2000 election. But since he has become an Independent, I find that once in a while, I am shocked to agree with him. A case in point is his disagreement over having the phrase violent Islamic terrorist removed from the wording of something that B.O. was discussing. Far be it from the world's favorite Kenyan to offend a group of people who would do us harm at every turn. Oh my goodness, we can't have that, can we? While we are on the subject of things to avoid,* I love that we cannot examine Arabic passengers with any more scrutiny then we give any other passenger. Just because every single terrorist on September eleventh was from the middle east, let's not be too hasty in making them angry. God (or Allah if you prefer) forbid we hurt someone's feelings if it keeps thousands of people alive and unharmed. Much better to be politically correct, don't you think?
Has common sense taken a ten count? If it keeps my family and my neighbors safe, profile every person that comes on the plane. For that matter, if I'm even riding a train, bus or boat, feel free to check me over every time I step on board. Whatever it takes to keep planes from crashing into buildings and murdering thousands upon thousands of people sounds good to me, as I believe it would to anyone with a lick of common sense.
While I am on the subject of offensive, I would be curious to know how it's going with the sit down and talk to the people who hate us thing? The last time I checked, Iran has pretty much given us the finger and started trying to enrich plutonium. Another great idea from this chuckle head, isn't it? And speaking of great ideas in socialism, how many people have realized that the Government now runs the loaning of money for student loans? Does this mean that now B.O. and his ilk can decide who is worthy to continue their education? I can't imagine that he would use this as another blatant power grab, can you? Please, please, please, make sure you are registered to vote in the next election. 2012 cannot come soon enough. Make sure you take five minutes and vote, also. Stopping this travesty should be our main objective. You'll thank me later.
