And every time a terrorist tries a new trick, they make traveling even worse for us non-terrorists : no liquids, full body scans, etc. Yet, after the fact it is obvious that these terrorists are easily identifiable and the government screwed up.
“How sweet. This liberal misses Bush because he loves Muslims. Especially considering democrats got 100% of the Muslim vote under Bush.”
Actually, Bush got a good bit of the Muslim vote...credited to Muslim convert/amnesty author Grover Norquist.
Grover Norquist’s Strange Alliance With Radical Islam
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/561786/posts
[snip]During the 2000 campaign, Norquist urged Karl Rove to focus on the Muslim vote—pointing to, among other things, the thousands of Muslims in the key state of Michigan. By all appearances, the Bush campaign heeded Norquist’s advice. In an admirable departure from the usual Republican script, Bush frequently integrated mosques into his platitudes about churches and synagogues. In the second presidential debate, Bush vowed to repeal the use of secret evidence, just as Norquist had promised. Bush even named Saffuri as the campaign’s National Advisor on Arab and Muslim Affairs.
When Bush won, Norquist credited the Muslim strategy. “Bush’s talk about outreach and inclusion had extraordinary results—the Muslim community went 2-1 for Bill Clinton in 1996 and almost 8-1 for Bush in 2000,” he told The Washington Times. (That statistic is almost certainly untrue, and Bush actually lost Michigan, the state where Muslims are most heavily concentrated.) Or, as Norquist put it in the Spectator, “George W. Bush was elected President of the United States of America because of the Muslim vote.”
Makes as much sense as gun control - the idea that by disarming law-abiding citizens, you keep criminals from using firearms.
Same kind of thinking.
EVERYTIME we come up with ONE MORE DRACONIAN method of controlling terrorism to counter a new initiative of theirs, we are a little less free and they move on to something else.
The way to deal with a problem is to solve the problem - in this case MUSLIMS. You don't cure a disease by ameliorating the symptoms.
