Well Bullroar, you're obviously feeling pretty smug and self righteous yourself. I rode motorcycles on and off road for many years and always wore a helmet, and was thankful for it every time I met the ground or pavement. If one is foolish enough to ride a motorcycle without a helmet or while wearing shorts, a t-shirt, flip-flops, and no gloves and is injured that's too bad. I can't see why it should be my problem AT ALL. It's sort of like taking a knife or a stick to a gunfight, you lose, too bad, you weren't very bright or didn't read the invitation. Stupidity is no excuse to require others to cover your tail.

A FAR better way to deal with the problem than porno body scans or being felt up by someone you don't know and likely wouldn't go out with even if you did know them. Of course this would offend CAIR and other Mslm groups who believe that they're special and above it all so we won't offend them. Aside from 9/11 the Islamist terrorists have all boarded aircraft overseas, what do we do about them? Not a lot I'll bet. By the way the body scanners are 1 mm wavelength which is ~0.04". My understanding is that anything over 1 mm can be readily seen, AND these images can and are being saved although we're told by Incompetano and Pistole that they can't and aren't. Lie to me once shame on you, lie to me twice shame on me.

The main problem with "intellectuals" and pseudo-intellectuals like our Glorious Leader is that 99.9% of them have NEVER done anything productive, and only associate with others they deem up to their superb standards of intellect. Unfortunately when one hears only one side of a problem or only views it from one perspective they all have the same, usually wrong, ideas and reach the same, usually wrong, conclusions. Disagreeing with intellectuals causes them to believe that we're all dumber than a stump. Strangely given the wider view of things from our ground level perches a lot of people with only high school educations and a lot of experience actually doing things know more about how things work than the intellectuals do. The...

Well said! The problem with adopting Israeli style airport security is that the whiners at the ACLU, Amnesty International, CAIR, and other leftist/Mslm groups will howl about profiling and discrimination. One wonders if they also scream profiling when the police suspect is a 6' tall blue eyed blonde? One need not wonder. If as we are told this is a law enforcement problem then it should be dealt with that way all the way up and down. If the people who are committing terrorist acts are Mslms, then let's subject them to extra scrutiny, and leave the little kids, old ladies, and Catholic nuns alone. Isn't that what the police would do if they were looking for a criminal or criminals? Don't want to offend any Mslms though...

I've come to the conclusion that Demorats cannot accept facts, will deny them, and have not the brains or common sense of a rotten stump. Dr Sowell's excellent columns are so far over their heads that all they can do is crank out stupidity from 100 years ago that has nothing to do with the facts. Obama and the Demorat and RINO's are all bums and need thrown out with last week's garbage.

Cameron, Gore, Soros, and all the rest of the wealthy and ultra wealthy leftists/communists want to keep the rest of us under their heal. it's the only reason the left pushes gun control because if we are armed they will have a MUCH harder time. Make drugs legal, dumb us down, and we'll just be happy little puppets.

Although I'm not a psychologist/psychiatrist, nor have I ever portrayed one on television I question the diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. I'd have to say it's pretty much a full blown Personality Disorder. The idea of Barnie and Rosie together does have a certain charm, but I doubt that there are enough barf bags available in the country to cope with the urpage that would occur should this happen.

Vlad, if you studied a little American history you'd understand that the First Amendment is not about protecting offensive speech it's about protecting political speech that the government or its representatives don't like. For instance Obambi's continual whining about Fox News and the few others that report honestly on his transparent administration because he'd like to shut them up but can't. Yet anyway. The ACLU is so anti-Christian that their eyes bulge out whenever anyone might do anything remotely relating to Christianity in public. That's not what the First Amendment says. Congress is NOT establishing a religion if people are allowed to contribute to a scholarship program that might benefit religious schools. If Mslm...

If Michelle Malkin is as described by Keith Olbermann, which she definitely is not, then maybe he's a festering pile of canine excrement, or even worse. It's interesting that leftists who all seem to think that they're smarter and more witty than anyone else have to revert to insults when they can't argue the points. My little dog is smarter than Olbermann, and looks better too btw.

Jimmy Carter's only claim to fame thus far has been as the worst President in the last 100 years, maybe ever. Now that accolade has been taken from him by the current occupant of the White House he's got to do something to get some attention. It must be truly terrible to be old; want to be famous for something, anything, and have this young whippersnapper come along to knock him off his pedestal. The man has no class, no common sense, and very little of anything else that might be admirable in a former President. When Obambi is dethroned he'll have to vie with both Obambi and Clinton for the title of greatest former presidential numbskull - if he lives that long.
