Are we finally waking up??

It looks like people in this country are finally starting to get the message.

Earlier this week in Great Britain, the London police made a little news when they announced they weren't going to waste their time searching little white old ladies.

London remains on high alert, . . . constantly searching and looking for the next suicide bomber and the most effective ways to stop said bombers. With probably millions of people riding the subway system, how does law enforcement keep an eye on things??

Do you go the route of the TSA and search every certain number of persons, no matter who they are??

Not if you want to actually prevent a bombing.

So while the United States is strip searching the librarian, the Brits are looking for people who look like terrorists. Islamic terrorists. Outright racial profiling. Something WE, in America, could/would never do.

Or maybe we would.

Finally there seems to be a bit of backbone coming from politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle. [Hey, I believe in giving credit, where credit is due!!] And it comes to us from New York, a city with a bit of experience with terrorism. Over the weekend, Democratic State Assemblyman Dov Hikind finally came right out and said that the police were wasting time with random searches of subway patrons. Said Hikind: "They all look a certain way. It's all very nice to be politically correct here, but we're talking about terrorism."

Right.

The only way to ensure the continued survival of our beloved American way of life is to start singling people out, and we need to do this right away.

As you might expect, the good assemblyman's comments caused quite a stir. Yesterday, jumping to his defense was Republican City Councilman James Oddo. Oddo had this to say:

"The reality is that there is a group of people who want to kill us and destroy
our way of life. Young Arab fundamentalists are the individuals undertaking
these acts of terror, and we should keep those facts prominently in our minds
and eyes as we attempt to secure our populace."

Will we do whatever is necessary to stop suicide bombers before they start striking here??

If we follow the advice of these two New Yorkers, our chances are good. If we listen to everybody else, . . . you know who I mean --- the hand-wringers among us, . . . the chances are not too good. Political correctness used to be just an annoyance. Now it has very deadly consequences. Since many of us seem to have forgotten the World Trade Center, and September 11, 2001, . . . we should be able to remember London, July 7, 2005 --- thats four short weeks ago!

God Bless,
