I've got to laugh to keep from crying.....

As Molly used to say, "T'aint funny Magee".

What the heck is a "citizen of Algeria" doing getting a US driver's license? Does she get to vote under MotorVoter as well???

That was one of his BEST ones! He was RIGHT ON!

Took my petite, five ft. tall, tiny, white haired, 75 year old mother and my 48 year old sister to Houston Hobby Airport Monday, they had come for our youngest son's HS grad. They sent through my mother's bags, took her shoes and checked them, ran the wand over her. It was utterly ridiculous! She doesn't fit the profile of ANY kind of criminal, terrorist or other kind! She fits the profile of a victim of a crime more than a criminal. She is as squeaky clean as a person can possibly be. While they frisked her, many dark skinned men with black hair and duffle bags passed right through security, don't want to offend anyone! sheesh! I thought of Fred's article as I watched this ridiculous event at the airport. I see them frisking our elderly over and over. One time it was an elderly gentleman from Mexico and he didn't even know what they were saying. He had fear in his eyes. I think our fear of "racial profiling" has gone way too far. Besides there is only ONE RACE! HUMAN!!!!

"They sent through my mother's bags" should have read They WENT through her bags... TYPO gremlins on board today. So don't hit me smartsy fartsy Senior Spelle Korrecktlee!

I like this part...

Her approval rating rose to 76% among the functionally illiterate, which pundits said assured her the Democrat nomination.

Well, Duh!

Must have been one of Algore's Florida volunteers.

I was searched last time I flew. I wonder if the same can be said of the young Moslem who sat next to me on the plane?

Fred hits it out of the park again. Ground rule Grand Slam.

Well, nanny nanny boo boo. Call the duplicate posting sheriff. ;-)

So, you've never heard of Fred Reed, huh? I love it when his columns are posted. It smokes out all the liberal republicans trying to pose as conservatives. Here's a hint for you: FR is a grassroots conservative forum. If you're looking for the companion forum for the mainstream neocon press that one is called Lucianne's .

"This is one of the lowest-class stories I've read this year; it reminds me in its tone of "The Turner Diaries", and judging from the responses, most of the readers of this site eat up this sort of thing"

Well step back, it's Mr Morality. If you think this is low class, go turn on MTV for a while. Here's another clue, Fred Reed is paid to speak his mind, and if that's offensive to your ivy league ego, then don't read it.

I posted an open reply to you. I have never FRmailed you and probably never will. Be advised: if you want to last here, lying isn't a good policy to start up on your first day.

Wow, you can sling the liberal buzzwords with the best on DU, can't you? You've mistakenly stumbled into a conservative forum. Please click the back button on your browser until you arrive home at DU. Oh, and I apologize for mistaking you for a republican as well.
