One additional unintended but beneficial safety consequence of hardening passenger aircraft cockpit doors is that it will keep hysterical mommies from bursting in and shrieking "there's a brownie on board, there's a brownie on board!!" in the pilots' faces.
Ignorant righties (but I repeat myself) are doing the worst thing, knee-jerking their way towards hatred of all Muslims, which can only swell the ranks of the radicals. Exactly what our enemy wants. The left is focused and utterly correct in keeping our attention on the difference between those radicals and the good Muslims. This division needs to be emphasized and encouraged.
if only this made sense in light of the terrorism we see around the world. believe me, I am not in favor of the police needing to profile. I am not in favor of profiling. But if we are going to have to screen for terrorists... then we should do it the correct way. Bringing in hatred is a disgusting leftist tactic. Like calling those against gay marriage homophobes even though many of us are ok with the concept gay unions. We don't hate muslims at all. For instance there a many muslims in San Diego and we interact with many of them. I would say I was friends with some qual comm engineers during soccer season while my son played travel soccer. Saying we hate muslims is just a completely disgusting leftist tactic. We hate the fact your leftist teammates let terrorists in to the country and unfortunately many terrorists are muslims who listen to radical muslim preachers. swear allegiance to muslim clerics/terrorist leaders and shout allu ackbar (spelling) as they kill innocents.
I think it was gwb, not a leftist, who explained to you that he also works with a diverse group of people which includes some Muslims.
