Nope, .I really don't see a pattern here to
justify profiling, do you?

So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone,
particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport
security screeners will no longer be allowed
to profile certain people. They must conduct random
searches of 80-year-old women, little kids,
airline pilots with proper identification, secret
agents who are members of the President's security
detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips,
and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss,
but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and
40 alone because of profiling.

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that
the Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys
along with FederalJustices that want
to thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of
themselves - if they have any such sense.

As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest
Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."

California Secession

Always Looking Up

Californians Dreaming of Secession?
By Susan Jones

(CNSNews.com) - California could cut taxes, fully fund education and balance its budget by seceding from the United States, a newly organized group says.

The Committee to Explore California Secession, also known as Move On California, says it hopes to bring people together to consider the merits of an autonomous and independent California.

Those benefits would be both financial and political: "For every dollar Californians give to the federal government we see only 78-cents come back," the group's website says. It also expresses concern about "the diminishing voice of Californians in national politics" and "national trends that are tipping the balance in the direction of the religious conservative agenda."

[Contrary to what Move On California claims, California Republicans now chair six U.S. House committees, giving California more congressional clout than any other state, Fox News reported.]

Jeff Morrissette, the founder of Move On California, says the secession buzz began shortly after the November 2004 re-election of President Bush. But, he says, politicians from both parties object to subsidizing other states at a time "when those California tax dollars could be better spent at home to shore up our own fiscal problems."

According to Morrissette, if Californians could control the $40 billion that goes to pork barrel spending projects in other states every year, they could give state taxpayers a $20-billion tax cut and still have enough money to fully fund California spending priorities, specifically education, and balance the budget at the same time.

Morrissette says momentum is building for the California secession movement. "While secession may be a long-shot," he says, "it will succeed in bringing awareness to many of the grievances California has politically, socially and fiscally."

"Californians are getting pushed around and it's time we pushed back," he said.

The Ohio protest by the Democrats : January 2005

Always Looking Up: January 2005
I noticed during this weeks certification of the election, that the Democrats main claim was the Afro-American/Black voters in Ohio were suppressed in their voting attempts due to faulty voting machines as well as long lines because not enough voting machines were available. Excuse me, but aren't most of those Democratic districts? And aren't the DEMOCRATS in those districts the ones responsible for assuring that the voting machines are available and in working condition? Could it possibly be that the "Dems" themselves are trying to suppress the Afro-American/Black vote in order to use that minority as a tool, an excuse as to why they did not succeed in their election efforts? S.B.O.
