So sad if that were true, Frances. Have you read Naomi Wolf’s books? I shudder as I read.

In a police state, people are very well behaved. In a police state, every facet of peoples’ lives can be monitored and acts of terrorism or any disorderly conduct whatsoever can be prevented. Wouldn’t America be a better place in a police state?

People who support profiling confuse me. Are they going to ask us before we board a plane what religion we believe in? Or are they merely going to search us based upon the color of our skin? Or maybe what country we were born in? Or what countries we have traveled to recently? Or what books we have checked out of the library (showing my age) or web-sites we have visited. Or are we just going to use the old “I’ll know one when I see one” standard?

Soon we would be having the Salem witch hunt all over again.

A few years ago, Newt was deemed too snarky and mean spirited to regain office…..now, his persona fits perfectly for the Republican public front. I think he will be embraced by the elephant in the room this time.

Janine, I would put him on a no-speak list. Mario is really right. I am not doing this as right wing bashing – I have seen Newt make snide remarks, but these tweets expose him to be such a low life, one shudders seeing his kind anywhere in the line for The Top Job.

Terrorist attacks on planes are so rare, you’d have a FAR better chance of becoming a victim of a lightning strike or winning the lottery. Maybe the airlines could encourage flyers by handing out a lottery ticket as you board.

And the terrorists have birthed yet another McCarthy era. “Have you now or have you ever been associated with Islam?” Said the nation “founded” on Christianity.

if there was profiling on behavior Gingrich would be on the no fly list
