So what does this teach us? That racial profiling is okay now, that it's a good idea to make assumptions about one based on ethnicity?

Ah, nothing like good ol' fashioned bigotry and racism. Brings out the "land of the free" don't ya think?

Why, then, do we pride ourselves on our freedom?

In the end I think this doesn't bode well for anyone in America, regardless of ethnicity.

Anyone else ready to organize and kick their asses out?

Let's do it.

Then again, the other news story is that the new FISA bill gives the government the ability to spy on our internet posts without a warrant, so they might find out about our plan.

The ACLU is suing already. One good plan is to donate money to the ACLU. They are working as hard as they can to protect our rights.

No one needs a warrant to "spy" on internet posts. They are in the public domain ;)

But really this is just a big *** downward spiral that we are in right now. We have been building up to this for the past 15 years or so and until the American population wake up and pull their heads out it is only going to get worse.

Oh boy, I can't wait until the government starts executing Muslims for no reason

Maybe that's what it teaches you.

I say what the hell took them so long to be serious about fighting terrorism?

Hypocrisy ?
