#2 Lock and Load! Seeing an increase in Afghani and Pakistani looking men coming through the Amtrak station in downtown Dallas, Texas towind considerable luggage during the past week from the Amtrak train and from the train servicing the Dallas Ft Worth International Airport.

These types are wasting no time coming into America, now that the left is running the big show.

#5 Seeing an increase in Afghani and Pakistani looking men coming through the Amtrak station in downtown Dallas...

There is a substantial Muslim population in the DFw area, mostly concentrated in the Mid Cities. Irving, Euless, Bedford, Arlington...etc. I have also taken note of the increased influx of these vermin. And so have a lot of others.

Through acquaintances in a few of the local police departments, I've heard that they are watching them closely, along with the Texas State police. Not sure what the Feds are doing, doesn't matter anyway. If these folks cross the line the feds will be the least of their worries.

Lots of gun tottin' and bible clutchin' RedNecks here in the Lone Star State...still. I was at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo the other day, speaking with some of the livestock producers, and these country folk are ready to answer the call. Talk about being fed up, I tell you.

Weirdly enough, I wonder if the huge spike in airfares combined with luggage restrictions is causing more people to travel via Amtrak. One forum commenter mentioned that Amtrak is the cheapest way to move across the country if you're moving a few hundred pounds worth of luggage.

#13 Nah, tipover, they are rather "liberal". They'll allow the hussies to show their faces but everything else pretty much has to be under a chador.

#14 What do they wear when they are playing badminton? Is it approved the religious police?

#15 If I were on that team, I'd refuse to leave the United States. I WILL NOT wear a chador, and WILL NOT be harassed by asshole islamonuts. And, unless something's drastically changed in the past two looooong weeks, Bambi doesn't own the team - it's not his to send.

What the hell are they thinking?
