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, 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 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 lest they be guilty 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 Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves -- if they
have any such sense. As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid
is as stupid does."

Come on people wake up!!! Keep this going. Pass it on to everyone in your address book. Our Country and our
troops need our support.

And guess who just bombed London?

Reply (from auburngrad82):

I personally do not like these types of things. A person can find many examples to prove a point. Take the Bible, for example. Two different individuals can find Bible verses that would seem to back up both sides of a contentious debate like school prayer. One might say that Jesus said to go out and proselytize. The other person would point out that Jesus said you should pray in private.

We all know a White Christian male blew up the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, killing one person and injuring over 100 others. Two white Christian males blew up the Alfred Murrah Federal Blg in Oklahoma City (more than 300 dead, including many children at the daycare inside the building), a white Christian male assassinated Nobel Peace Prize winning minister Martin Luther King Jr and numerous white Christian males are responsible for blowing up abortion clinics and black churches around the country, killing many innocent people, including children.

I think that one of the problems with our country today is we have found it too easy to hate. I would like it if everyone who received these kinds of "patriotic" e-mails would just take the time to think about what the reason for the message is rather than just saying "you know, that's true!" Technically it is true but it seems that the only thing that is gained by these e-mails is to turn people's minds towards prejudice and hatred for other people.

Keep in mind that historically Christianity has been just as brutal and murderous as any other religion. The Crusades and the Inqustition took place long ago but more recently you have the Ireland conflict between Catholic and Protestant neighbors. Bosnia is another example. Then there is Nazi Germany in which a conservative Christian nation was mesmerized by a madman. That led to the deaths of over 6 million Jews.

I don't mean to preach to everyone but please let's try to reverse the direction our country is taking towards hatred and isolationism. It can't be good for us.
