What is an FR exclusive, that "many Florida flight schools train Arab students."? Well no $hit!

Have you ever considered that Arabs are not permitted to learn to fly in their home countries? Where else would they go if they wanted to learn, England?

In England, you have to pay a landing fee each time you land. Britains come to Florida to learn to fly, too, because it is too expensive in their own country.

I've talked to some of them and they tell me that they can buy a round-trip ticket to Orlando, pay for three months in a condo, all expenses, and learn to fly - cheaper than they can learn to fly in England.

People come here - always have - because in America we have something called freedom. Here, we can do whatever we think best, as long as we don't harm somebody else. It's called "individual rights" - what a concept.

Some of you want to end that in the name of "safety".

Take away their oil and they can't enroll in these flight schools. Of course the Saudis are are allies, and Islam is a religion of peace. BTW< I have these three bridges for sale in Brooklyn....

"Some of you want to end that (freedom) in the name of "safety"."

A LOT of dimbulbs want to end it in the name of "safety".
After all "there's a WAR going on!".
(For some reason that's supposed to make our freedom a bad thing.)

If dogs begin starting fires in crowded buildings, don't you think it might make sense to ban dogs with matches and lighters from crowded buildings?
