It's just to the point where certain people will find any excuse whatsoever to hate America. It all boils down to penis envy, apparently.

Granted that you're right about how everyone jumps at America first these days, you didn't express your opinion on the issue....I mean, I think people just assumed that you were in support of it....Assumption is correct? |
Actually I'm a bit for and a bit against depending on the issue. I, for one, support profiling so long as it is non-intrusive. I see no reason why the government should be disallowed from keeping a closer eye on people of certain nationalities if said nationalities are exponentially more likely to be involved in terrorism. And don't anyone try and spin what I said. I'm not saying that all Muslims or Arabs are terrorists. What I am saying is, if you caught 100 terrorists and 95 of them are Arab or Muslim, you need to be gearing your investigative and protective branches around that. My views on this are much more in depth, but that's the gist of it. Other than that, though, I don't really see the need to curtail any other civil liberties.
