#1 One of the most debilitating aspects of PCism, worthy of flushing as both irrelevant and self-defeating, is the ban on profiling. What a sad joke to allow this to be saddled with emotive baloney, rather than descriptive of applying intelligent reasoning based upon hard facts.

It's much like the word discrimination. Hijacked from the language to have an extremely narrow meaning full of emotive BS. Discrimination, choosing among alternatives, is obviously the intelligent thing to do.

So is profiling.

PCism will get us all killed unless we fight back - and kill it.

#2 CA5024:

On the weekend, protesters wearing Hizbollah banners openly protested on behalf of that declared terrorist group. If that is not terrorist advocacy, then I don't know what is. Put 'em in Gitmo.

#3 In a post-9-11 world, we have the right to know what being done (or, perhaps what isn't being done) to protect our safety.

Perhaps we don't have the right to know. Maybe we are screening refugees. Possibly we could catch more without the bad guys knowing their being watched.

This is not the same as the NYT releasing classified stuff - but it's in the same ballpark.

One of the goals of terrorism is to destroy our society by using its freedoms against it. Before that happens, we need to declare Martial Law and have a...cleansing of the host. So to speak.

1st Amendment or not, I do not think that anyone should have the right to demonstrate in favor of terrorists. Sooner or later we will have to draw the line somewhere. Unfortunately I think we'll have to lose a city or three before the majority accepts that fact, and the shrill chattering classes shut up out of fear for their own safety.
