If the taps were on our 'quiet' Muslim citizens who have not denounced terrorism and Islamofascism, all the better. It is not Swedish Lutherans who we have to fear or be concerned about , it is the mullahs in Detroit, NYC, Philly, Baltimore, Seattle et al. I have no problem with racial profiling either , ala the war on terrorism or the war on crime. I am sick to death of the PC efforts of the MSM, the Demlefties and the 4 Senate NE wussies. Tap all you want W, I have nothing to fear and either do nearly 300,000 million other Americans. Oh, perhaps some of the treasonous Lefties!!! LOL
