Terror in the Skies, Again? - WomensWallStreet
A vivid first-person account of an incident that happened recently on a domestic flight from Detroit to Los Angeles. In short, 14 Syrian men, allegedly musicians, boarded the flight. They did not associate with each other the flight and they were dispersed throughout the aircraft. Once in the air, they stood in the isles for much of the flight, cycling in and out of the restrooms carrying bags, cameras, etc.
A follow-up to the original article appears here.
IMHO, so-called "racial profiling" is not a bad thing if you have reasonable doubt. We were attacked by middle-eastern-looking young male muslims. Fourteen of them board your flight, that should get your attention. They stand up and walk up and down the isles, that would be suspicious. They cycle in and out of the restrooms carrying bags, that would be suspcious. To keep one eyes open for trouble and keeping an eye on the troublemakers is not "racial profiling". It is being aware of your surroundings and paying attention to suspicious characters.
Why were these 14 not searched harder? They are travelling on one-way tickets with no baggage except for their instrument cases, and they look like the kind of people who attacked us and have sworn an oath to the devil to destroy us. It is because the Transportation Security Agency has a "but for" policy. As in, "but for the fact they look like terrorists, is there any reason to search or investigate further?" As a result, they strip search toddlers, the elderly, and Norweigans, but not give a second thought about 14 Syrians with one-way tickets and no baggage.
Why did the Dept. of Homeland Security not investigate further? Why did they not verify their stories? Why did they not arrest and deport the 13 who were in the U.S. illegally on expired visas?

boortz.com: 'SHALL WE FINISH IT OFF?':
"Those were the words of one of the 9/11 Muslim hijackers flying the plane that crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The 9/11 Commission report released yesterday reveals the passenger revolt began at 9:57am on September 11, 2001, 30 minutes after the Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked the plane. The report says they intended to fly the plane into the White House or the U.S. Capitol, but were thwarted by the passengers of United Flight 93. As the passengers attempted to ram down the cockpit door, the Islamic jihadist pilot pitched the nose of the plane up and down to try and disrupt the assault. Eventually, when that didn't work the hijackers crashed the plane into the ground shouting 'Allah is the greatest! Allah is the greatest!' That's right...Islam..the religion of peace was at work right there."

Scouting jetliners for new attacks - The Washington Times:
"Flight crews and air marshals say Middle Eastern men are staking out airports, probing security measures and conducting test runs aboard airplanes for a terrorist attack.
At least two midflight incidents have involved numerous men of Middle Eastern descent behaving in what one pilot called 'stereotypical' behavior of an organized attempt to attack a plane.
'No doubt these are dry runs for a terrorist attack,' an air marshal said.
Pilots and air marshals who asked to remain anonymous told The Washington Times that surveillance by terrorists is rampant, using different probing methods."

Brent Bozell: The FOX-hater's upside-down world:
"They think conservative dissent is a clear and present danger to the socialist 'paradise' they want to inflict on society. "

Michelle Malkin: The dangerous game of catch-and-release:
"As for the federal government's priority of only enforcing the law against 'previously deported' aliens, Chamberlain wonders -- at a time when millions of illegal aliens are living, working, studying, voting and lobbying for their 'rights' -- how anybody ever gets deported anymore. Chamberlain is furious and decided to go public with the incident, despite a politically correct code of silence among police chiefs about open-borders chaos. 'We're asked by our government every day to increase our awareness and try to apprehend' law-breakers, Chamberlain mused, 'and then they tell me to kick 'em loose? It's frustrating.'"

Walter E. Williams: Free health care:
"The Fraser Institute, a Vancouver, B.C.-based think tank, has done yeoman's work keeping track of Canada's socialized health-care system. It has just come out with its 13th annual waiting-list survey. It shows that the average time a patient waited between referral from a general practitioner to treatment rose from 16.5 weeks in 2001-02 to 17.7 weeks in 2003. Saskatchewan had the longest average waiting time of nearly 30 weeks, while Ontario had the shortest, 14 weeks. "

boortz.com: LOONY LEFT TAKES OVER NAALCP
:
"Yesterday, NAACP Chairman Julian Bond delivered a speech bashing the Republican party, accusing them of 'playing the race card in election after election.' This is interesting, because it is Democrats that play the race card in every election, not Republicans.
It is Democrats that insultingly pander to the black community, begging for votes in exchange for welfare spending and hiring quotas. Through the soft bigotry of low expectations, the NAACP and their masters in the Democratic party have become the new pimps in the black community. They want to keep everyone as dependent on government as possible.
Bond continued, further proving his own stupidity and intellectual bankruptcy by saying that the Bush tax cuts were put in place to 'further enrich the already wealthy and to starve the government, making it unable to meet human needs.' By that statement alone, Julian Bond is now an admitted Communist. After all, he believes it is the job of the government to meet the needs of the people."

Jonah Goldberg: Malign Condescension - or Benign Neglect?:
"Leftists, both white and black, have always warned that poor blacks would starve if government stopped 'helping' them - or they'd turn to crime, riot, spontaneously combust, whatever. Personally, I've always found the notion condescending and racist that blacks would turn animal without the domesticating influence of government spoon-feeding."

boortz.com: FAHRENHYPE 911 FADING INTO OBSCURITY
:
"After barely opening at #1 (slightly edging 'White Chicks',) Fahrenheit 911 was blown away by Spider-Man 2, when it opened the following Wednesday. Now that Spidey has been in theaters for over a week, where is Michael Moore? Well, his movie has slipped to third, behind 'King Arthur,' which hauled in nearly twice as much on Wednesday. So what's the point of all this?
The point is, you hear none of this from the media. As Moore's movie tumbles down the box office chart, blazing the well-paved trail through the $2 movie theaters and onto DVD, the media is mum. No headlines saying 'Fahrenheit 911 slips to second, then to third at the box office.' Or how about 'Michael Moore movie having no political impact like we thought.'"

boortz.com: FLORIDA VOTING GAMES:
"The Florida Division of Elections has decided to allow 2,500 convicted felons back onto the voter rolls under the guise of not disenfranchising voters. By the way, that's also a pant load, because no one was disenfranchised in 2000. Every vote was counted, recounted and counted again. George W. Bush won the State of Florida fair and square (I know that makes you bedwetters cringe, that's why I love saying it.) This latest decision amounts to vote-hunting....in case the election is only 537 votes apart.
So yesterday The Poodle and The Puppy campaigned throughout Florida whining about how 'every vote will be counted' (even though every vote was counted in 2000.) Already, the excuse groundwork is being laid in case there is another close Bush victory there. People are questioning the ballots and lawsuits are being filed all over the state."

Nets Treat Liberal Label for Edwards as Unsupportable Accusation -- Media Research Center:
"FNC's Carl Cameron, on Special Report with Brit Hume, uniquely stated as a fact that Edwards is a liberal: 'Kerry, who had the most liberal voting record in the Senate last year, has now picked a multi-millionaire former trial lawyer with the fourth most liberal voting record.'"

Brokaw Corrects Allawi When He Claims Saddam-al-Qaeda Link --6/30/2004-- Media Research Center:
"That ended the interview, but I noticed that in Allawi's last answer NBC cut from what aired a sentence which appeared in the posted transcript on MSNBC.com: www.msnbc.msn.com
In the that version, Allawi's last answer began, with what NBC cut in ALL CAPS: 'No. I believe very strongly that Saddam had relations with al-Qaeda. AND THESE RELATIONS STARTED IN SUDAN. We know Saddam had relationships with...'
By coincidence, last Friday's (June 25) NBC Nightly News ignored a front page New York Times story, from that day, about how a document found in Iraq revealed that Hussein's regime reached out to bin Laden in Sudan."

Generating more heat than light:
"These are the intentional misstatements of fact that elevate Moore to the apex of American political bigotry. He may be fond of deflecting criticism with the 'It's just my opinion' defense, but that won't wash.
Do we excuse the racial or religious bigot just because it is someone's 'opinion' that blacks are inferior or Jews are the devil's spawn?"
