LMAO.
Do you have the right to joke about fire in a crowded theater?
Just WHAT freedoms, have you given up ? Please enummerate them. Oh, and NO, you have no absolute " right " to fly, nor even one that states that you have a " right " to fly and not be screened; no matter how stupid the screeners are, nor how uncomfortable it makes you. That isn't in the BoR, nor the Constitution ... no matter how you may care to twist the words.
If her son could tell they were fooling with her, she should have been able to see it too. In fact, she could see it, it just pissed her off. So she struck out at them for what she saw as their arrogance.
How is that a bad thing?
I'll tell you one thing. I'm not so panicky over 9-11 that I'm willing to keel before the authories and beg them to please please protect me from will o' the wisps.
You're quite the little bigot and racist and anti-Semite . Keep your day job ; your mindreading skills ( re what would have been said on FR ) stink.
Let me guess, you're a Libertarian; right ?
Because racism is always bad. It was bad when we did to German-Americans, Italian-Americans and Japanese-Americans in WWII and its still bad when we do it to Muslim-Americans today.
You're quite the little bigot and racist and anti-Semite . Keep your day job ; your mindreading skills ( re what would have been said on FR ) stink.
Your bigotry isn't acceptable just because it's directed toward Muslim-Americans.
Then by all means, go to a public place and make your voice heard. No one is stopping you. Say it loud; say it proud and stop whining.
If you don't want people to call you on it, don't put up bogoted posts.
It seems that quite a number of decades ago ( around 4 ), a girl was coming come, a man stalked her, attacked her, killed her and no one, not a single soul ( and many , many people heard and some saw it from windows ) called the cops. Kitty could have been saved, if one alert, thoughtful person had called the police. There are many such stories. This isn't, unfortunately, an isolated incidence. Yes, this is more than just talk; however, it isn't all that far a strech, from what YOU are babling on about.
Which of the hijackers were Christians or Jews? BTW, bigoted is not the same, as racist but don't let that stop you.
I assume that you mean : kneel ". Be that as it may , there are NO " will o' the wisps "; there are ; however, nut jobs, who are willing, ready, and able to attack this country. You, obviously, either don'/t care, or don't believe that it could happen again. That doesn't speak well for you. Neither do your posts on this thread.
Now, let me see IF I get exactly where you're coming from. Let's, for sake of argument, say that you are in your local greasyspoon. Three men, sitting close enough to you, are talking about something, which could be interpretted as sounding as though they were planning on blowing up the White House, or some such place. They're wearing long, trimmed beards and a Muslim skullcap. They are speaking in English, so you can understand every word they say. You won't call the police, because you are going to lose your freedoms and it might just be a " joke ".
Great, wonderful, fantastic ... you have now earned a nice, rotten, worm ridden apple of shame. Poltroon.
None of the three muslims who make jokes in the coffee shop were hijackers either. Bigotry (including racist bigotry) should never acceptible in American (though it seems to be the norm here on Free Republic).
Besides if a waitress were giving me strange looks because I were wearing a headdress, I would be pissed off too. Thirty years ago I had just gotten off six years of active duty in Naval Aviation and one cold night I stopped for coffee in the south (wearing my leather flight jacket) and a bigoted waitress swore at me because I had a (light) beard. To the establishment's credit, a young waitress came over and apologized and poured me my coffee. That's what I mean when I say there are bigots everywhere and I see no reason to put up with them on the grounds it's okay to be a bigot if we do it for security.
It seems to me that people who would succumb to their prejudices and accuse innocent people are the same kind who would refuse to respond to Kitty Genovese's cries for help. In short, miserable cowards.
It's anti-semitic to defend innocent people from bigots?
The Muslims are caucasoids, so it can't be racist, for another caucasoid to call the police on them. They aren't Jews, so, even though Arabs are Semites ( and two of the stooges are of Pakistani heritage, which also makes them caucasoids ; but NOT Semites ! ) , the phrase " anti-Semite " is only conferred on Jew hating slanders.
Now, words have specific meanings. You can't change the meanings, just so they can fit neatly into your argument. Facts ARE facts, whether you like them or not, and you are putting words into Eunice's mouth, as well as impugning her actions, with your OWN suppositions. That doesn't hold water.
