    On that day, the last person I wanted to hear from was Obama. I wanted facts and he had none and that point. He knew less than me.

    Obviously I mis-understood inmytree. So why don't you chill the fuck out. And NO!!!!!!! Obama Not saying anything was not the point of this thread. I just thought I would comment on it. is that O.K. Asshole????? I don't need to start a bitch thread about Obama. Everyone knows well at least some of us do that he's not a leader. You and the rest of the Obama drones can't except the fact that Obama is not capable of leading this country. My life doesn't stop either because of terrorism,but when we ALMOST have another attack take place you better believe that it's going to get my attention. I could care less what you think about it because it 's pretty fuckin obvious that you could care less or that it's no big deal because it was a failed attempt.

    Oh...All your immature jokes about Glenn Beck and the Tea party movement are really starting to get old. Why don't you go post shit like that over at THP,Move On, or Media Matters. You would fit in real well with everyone over there

    i just think it wouldn't have changed anything if Obama had said something right after it happened. what i think would've happened would be reporters would naturally have a million questions and he'd be dropping a lot of "we don't know at this moment" which would lead to all sorts of wild speculation and fear mongering which is very unnecessary

    I totally agree with you in a sense that it would'nt have changed anything.The last thing we need are knee jerk reactions. I just think 3 days is a long time with out saying anything. I could understand like 24 hrs or 36 hrs, but 3 days?

    i think anything less than 3 days would have been a knee jerk reaction. why face the press if you do not have all of the facts, and if you do not have the facts, why say anything that could be misinterpreted in any possible fashion in the first place?

    who cares if it took 3 hours to inform him or if it took 3 days to "say anything"...why is this even an issue...?


    yeah why rush and speak publicly when not all information is known yet? you risk spreading the wrong info that way. its been 3 days and they still don't know the full story.

    obama can't do anything right for some people. had he spoken earlier he would have probably said something that was not true, just like the people that said the guy had no passport when in fact he did.

    by the way, war on terror, perfectlefts, YOU CAN NOT WIN A WAR AGAINST A TACTIC!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!
    that would be like me waging a war on willfull ignorance. it can't be won....


    I agrre with most but I feel the biggest problem with the war on terror is that the government is trying to run it with too much political correctness. Let the military run the war and do their job.

  • i wonder if this type of bomb would explode and kill mall the people in the plane and some people out of it what u will all say,,i dont think that 3 minutes,3 hours , 3 days will be the problem

    and there you have it......the politically correct mind of a liberal. Let me ask you this. If there was a report that a young white male with a tatoo on his face is trying to blow up planes, who do you think we should look out for? It's no different here, they fit the profile , so check them out...COMMON SENSE!!!!!WAKE UP!!!!

    It’s a shame that Bigotry is used for a variety of circumstances other than bigotry. Because it weakens the severity of being a real bigot.
    Guess you haven't been paying attention but there are more than a few Muslim wanting to kill Americans.! I'm Baptist and if it were only Baptist blowing up planes I would want every last Baptist person search! What could be wrong with using Common Sense?

    your first 2 sentances make absolutely no sense here..how can bigotry be used for circumstances other than bigotry??? :?:
    you "conservatives" really make me laugh. you are all about your freedom, yet you are willing to give it all up when it comes to security. it is quite alright to take the freedom away from others, yet you complain when you have to get searched at an airport. secirity should be standardized for everybody, regardless of ethnicity. next you will be calling for body cavity search for all people of color, yet white people get to walk straight onto the plane. i am not sure how anybody in their right mind could justify that or think that is in any way ok.

    but back to my original point, one of the great "patriots" once said "those that are willing to sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither"

    So, are you saying that we should not search muslims more than other people that do not fit the profile, can that really possibly be what you are saying here. All the people you list is not the same. You are listing single people with single actions. Clearly Al Qaida is not the same.

    no i am not advocating searching muslins less or more than other people. my post explicitly states that security and scrutiny should be the same for everybody. plese re-read it. what you are suggesting by singling out muslims is racism pure and simple. not even close to all muslims want to attack us. whose profile and whose definition of terrorist or terrorist suspect would we use? saying simply muslims is no different than singling out all jews for extra scrutiny, or all catholics, or all atheists and agnostics. i'm willing to bet that while you are very busy dilligently watching and singling out muslims, a home grown american terrorist will sneak up on you and blow up your fucking plane. the point is anyone can be a terrorist. all of the people i listed were white and they were american terrorists. there is no difference between a terrorist network and a lone wolf like you are suggesting there is. any way you look at it, a successful attack from a network or a lone wolf all results in the same thing....death, destruction, and fear. the people i listed had the same result, yet on a smaller scale, than the hijackers on 9/11, and this nigerian was unsuccessful and is not on the same level as anyone that i listed.

    common sense tells me that targeting an entire group of people, based solely on their religion and ethnicity, is offensive, disgusting, and unconstitutional. all it does is create more fear, racial division, and hysteria, and gives you a false sense of security that the airlines are actually preventing terrorist attacks.

    before 9/11 the majority of terrorism was NOT carried out by muslims....

    so are you saying we should ask everyone's religion before letting them on a plane? have some card with their religion on it that must be shown? maybe we should force them to wear some patch or something so they''ll be easier to spot? maybe they should have a separate line and/airports, like in Israel? what does a muslim look like? and before someone prattles off some stereotype if someone who is muslim did get through with a bomb or something i doubt they will dress like that stereotype, so how are you gonna know?

    the simple answer is you're not and so you won't be singling out 'muslims' you'll be singling out brown skinned folks

    they should search all white people.



    timothy mcveigh blew up the federal building.....




    how many muslims are there? how many are arab? how many are terrorist?

    I'd also like to know what a muslim looks like? Does it look like the black muslim from Somalia? Does it look like the towel head from Saudi Arabia? Does it look like the white muslim guy from Colorado?

    Which is it? Which muslims do we want to discriminate against?
  • Actually, security personnel in airports are also looking at passports, and the names therein often give an indication. It's certainly not definitive or foolproof, but it can assist. Now, while there are racists, bigots, etc. who mindlessly support profiling, one doesn't have to be a racist or a bigot to support profiling. Sure, if someone is saying search every Muslim, that is asinine and bigoted. It wouldn't make sense to single out a 55 year Muslim man, or a 12 year old Muslim boy, or any Muslim females. Why? Because they generally haven't been responsible for any of the hijackings or attempts to blow up planes over the last 35 years. It's primarily been Muslim males in their early 20s to late 30s. Some can cite McVeigh, Rudolph, the Unabomber and some others, but any rational person should see that they are an anomaly, in general, and certainly don't belong in any rebuttal concerning AIRLINE security. And Richard Reid is also an anomaly... isolated incidents don't warrant a profile. However, when it comes to hijacking or blowing up planes, there IS one demographic that is not simply an isolated incident. Again, it's not racist to focus on the obvious. If La Cosa Nostra was in the business of hijacking or blowing up planes, I wouldn't want 20-40 year Arab men or Italian grandmothers getting extra attention at the airports; I'd want Paulie Walnuts getting a pat down, though.

Some can cite McVeigh, Rudolph, the Unabomber and some others, but any rational person should see that they are an anomaly, in general, and certainly don't belong in any rebuttal concerning AIRLINE security. And Richard Reid is also an anomaly... isolated incidents don't warrant a profile. However, when it comes to hijacking or blowing up planes, there IS one demographic that is not simply an isolated incident. Again, it's not racist to focus on the obvious. If La Cosa Nostra was in the business of hijacking or blowing up planes, I wouldn't want 20-40 year Arab men or Italian grandmothers getting extra attention at the airports; I'd want Paulie Walnuts getting a pat down, though.

    Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh... yeah. That's why they call it 'profiling'. Again, if I was looking for meth dealers in the 1980s, I was looking for white male bikers. Doesn't mean that a female yuppie couldn't have been cooking up batches (or that an Anglo-Carribean, who was a non-profileable Muslim, won't bring a shoe bomb onto a plane,) but there was a clear profile of of the typical participant.

    Absolutely. And by no means can we assume the worst about everyone who fits a profile. Some of the finest people on this earth happen to love motorcycles and dressing the part. Doesn't make them meth dealers or otherwise bad folk. Profiling should only be for professional use, and isn't for the general public at large.

    Anecdotally, shortly after Oklahoma City I was in Brooklyn with a friend and needed something from a convenience store. As I was going in, he said he wouldn't go there because the owner was an Arab and, "they just blew up the Murrah Federal Building." I shook my head and then gave him a ration of shit when I came out, saying that for all we knew it was some anti-government white supremacist. Literally hours later, it came out that it was McVeigh, who wasn't white supremacist, but was anti-government and certainly not an Arab. I get that we can't just mess with an entire race because of some bad apples within it, but giving some extra attention to 20-40 year old Muslim males before they get on a plane isn't a human rights travesty IMO.

    How about looking at a name. How about looking at where they are coming from. Jesus Christ what kind of fucking world do we live in here. There is a terorists organization that is mostly made up of muslims and they want to kill us. Sorry but you blind ass fucking liberals don't have a clue. Oh no, we can't search every muslim in an airport, that would be racial, that would be profiling, that is picking on there religion. All the political correctness of all you liberals is going to kill us. Let's just keep traveling the world and bowing to everybody bringing america down to size....ooohhh yeah everybody is going to love us yeahhh. It's very fucking simple.... muslims fit the discription so check them out..... the funny thing is I bet muslims at an airport would agree with me more than alot of the @#$%^ on this site. COMMON SENSE!!!!!!! Would love to see all the 21st century peace loving hippies at an airport with all the muslims walking through security while they search your stupid asses. See how safe you feel at 38,000 feet then.

    I'd also like to know what a muslim looks like? Does it look like the black muslim from Somalia? Does it look like the towel head from Saudi Arabia? Does it look like the white muslim guy from Colorado?

    Which is it? Which muslims do we want to discriminate against?

    Wake the fuck up! We are searching grandmothers and children while this stupid fuck walks onto a plane because somebody like YOU was afraid of discriminating somebody. And then to top it all off this lovely fucking J.V. Administration running our fucking country gets on television and tells everyone how the system worked. DUH!

    No, they are mostly made up of Muslim males between the age of 20-40. This is a HUGE distinction, and if you don't make it you do come off racist, intended or not. And this is coming from someone who strongly endorses profiling. You might want to choose your words more carefully, or at least fully think through the issue.

    Yeah, it would. See points above when it comes to "every Muslim in an airport."
