It's pretty clear that leftism has won in this country when so-called conservatives start parroting the leftist love of paranoid hyperbole.

So, sixty odd posts through this thread, and nobody has rallied to your cause or embraced your argument . . . yet we're the "so-called conservatives" around here?

Might want to take a look in the ol' mirror, there, my faux Chinese friend, and consider the previously unthinkable: you're wrong. It's okay. Even Arthur Fonzarelli was known to make mistakes from time to time. And giving a draconian, statist, decidedly anti-American notion like "stop-n-frisk" a big ol' bearhug when you're a self-styled conservative is, um, not right.

Actually, I'll think what is decidedly thinkable, that none of these commenters has lived in a slummy area of NYC (or anywhere else), but love indulging in the Walter Mitty-ish fantasies prevalent in Hollywood action thrillers. I have, and it's no picnic. Given the actual lay of the land, stop-and-frisk is the worst law enforcement program out there except for all the other real-world options.
