Interesting to watch as the Left turns on and consumes its own!
I think this is one of the reasons that this continues to be news - at least on Fox.
It's a week before the election and frankly, what better time for this (the firing and the reasons behind it) to have happened?
Obama is going around the country saying how awful the conservatives/tea partiers are, that we are ignorant of what's going on in the country, that we are close-minded, etc...while the liberals are oh so wonderful.
Juan Williams is guilty of coming out publicly on tv saying he gets nervous when he sees Muslims in full Muslim garb in an airport.
Well, you know what, so am I!! So are
my family members and friends. I think that most Americans - when they go into an airport
anywhere in this country or a foreign country - will scope out the other travelers in the airport and in particular those that are getting on their flight. Whether they want to admit it, even to themselves...they do it.
It bugs the crap out of me, that I get pulled over going through security because I "supposedly" trip the alarm and I end up getting wanded and felt up by some female TSA person like I'm a common criminal....while another passenger of obvious Middle Eastern heritage...waltzes right security because the federal government, the airlines, the airport, TSA's are too damn scared of being accused of racial profiling!!! It's bullshit!
Don't get me wrong...I
don't object to being pulled over.... I have nothing to hide. But I do object to Middle Easterners given a free pass through security! For those of you who frequently fly or have flown several times since 9/11....how many times have you ever seen a person of Middle Eastern heritage or resembling a Middle Easterner, ever pulled over in security? Since 9/11, I have gone to Europe 5 times, St Croix twice, and flown to the West Coast 3 or 4 times, several trips to Chicago, north to Maine, and too many to count to Florida. All of these flights required passing through security - those out of the continental US - not only airport security but customs - foreign and US. Not one time - NOT ONCE!! - have I ever seen a Middle Easterner pulled over.
I stood in LaGuardia, waiting to get through US Customs, after coming off of an international flight from Greece, surrounded by a flippin' plane load of passengers from the Mid East....all the women shrouded and herding kids, and the men looking arrogant, bored, and impatient. I was travelling with 3 other women, we were beside ourselves because our flight from Greece was so late in arrival, we were afraid of missing our connection to get home...we got pulled out of line by a Customs official. They asked us where we were going, wanted to see our tickets, searched through our stuff, and let us go on. Now maybe, they were being nice to us, and just wanted to get us out of there.....but they still searched our backpacks. 4 American women - 3 in their 50's and 1 in her 40's, 2 very very fair skinned blondes, a redhead, and one with highlighted brown air (who happens to be the 2nd highest woman working for TVA with a top security clearance!)....was Customs trying to look fair and balanced by seaching our stuff? While we were in line, I didn't see any of the MidEasterners pulled over and having their bags searched.
Sorry for the rant....but rather than acknowledging that American people do fear Muslims - fair or not, though it
is a justifiable fear - the political correctness that seems to be paramount in every aspect of our lives these days, is going to get more Americans killed. Those with power and position behind them, keep punishing those who express their fear....using them as an example of behavior that is unacceptable!! When will it stop? When the Muslim terrorists come for those in power? Or will those in power simply hand of the keys of
our kingdom and accept the power of Islam?
Maybe with all the publicity about this, some Democrats might rethink their affliation with a party that may "talk the talk, but can't do the walk"....
