There was a time that I was against racial profiling because I thought it got in the way of our civil rights. But now, due to the changing of the times here in our country and the changes around the world I have begun to change my tune. In a very short period of time I have seen our most basic right become jeopardised, and that is our right to freedom.
My opinion of racial profiling is this. If you are asked to show papers to prove citizenship in this country, or that you have proper identification, it's really no different than showing your license and registration when pulled over for a traffic violation. As long as your papers are in order, what is the problem? The only reason you should be worried is if you are doing something wrong. It raises a bigger red flag to me when people whine and complain about the loss of civil rights, it makes me wonder what they are hiding? What is wrong with asking people for identification and proof of citizenship? If it protects even one terrorist event or drug interaction, then I say yes! Show me your ID!
The immigrants that want to come into this country the right way are productive members of society and are good contributors to the state. It is those that come in illegally, who intend to break the laws for their own gain, who sell and traffic drugs and people, and who have no value for life that we need to be watching out for.
Look at where political correctness has taken us. We aren't safe, our freedoms are being stripped away from us. Political correctness be damned!
The Cordoba House coming to NYC
This is wrong in so many ways. It is an insensitive act towards the surviving families of those killed in an act of terror by Muslims. Why in any way does it make sense for Muslims to build a center near ground zero where they can "honor and respect" those whose lives were lost on 9/11. And to add insult to injury, they want to dedicate it on 9/11? Does no one else see anything wrong with this? There are even a LARGE number of US and Canadian Muslims who don't agree with the Cordoba House being built in the location chosen. We are being slapped in the face if we voice opinion against this move, being called religious racists, close minded, intolerant of other religions. You know, so what? If that kind of thinking protects us in any way down the road, then bring it on. The Imam behind bringing the Cordoba house to NY is a prominent member of a group that helped sponsor the pro-Palestinian activists who clashed violently with Israeli commandos at sea this week. How can we be sure that Cordoba House isn't his Trojan Horse? Are we going to look the other way and hope nothing bad comes from this? I think the bleeding heart liberals and progressives need to start finding their voices and start speaking out against the obvious. We can't afford to sit back and let it happen. Because next time, it will be too late. Protect our soil, protect our freedoms, protect our country. Lets put political correctness where it belongs; on the back burner.
For once, do what is right, and not because it looks good or makes you look forward thinking. That's what has gotten us in the mess we are in today.
