I think it's fair to say that the Republican party has not been welcoming of those not in the mainstream, that is, conservatives who are not part of the Republican elite. This works both ways. Whether Limbaugh et al. are the reason for that or not is debatable. I'm not sure they are.

Here's my issue re: Macy's. They are a huge supporter of the GLBT agenda. Can't support that, thus can't support them.

What I find interesting about all this, i.e., the film, Childers, etc. is the number of Christians who suggest this is not representative of what "really happened." It seems to me that they're trying to avoid, or at least minimize the Warrior Spirit, that God says we are to have. Each of us may display that spirit in different ways at different times under different situations, but we're all called to have it (especially men). There are too many Christians that want to diminish that part of God's message. And they to do so at our peril and to the peril of men.

Mr. Hunt You're certainly correct here. While this shouldn't be the case, there are some universities in which the young lady can practice her beliefs as a counselor. Why not simply go there instead of trying to swim upstream?

A college ID is NOT a legal form of identification. They also generally do not indicate date of birth or residence address.

If Dr. Gates had acceded to the reasonable, lawful and legal demands of Sgt. Crowley, who was responding to a call, then this would have been over in a matter of minutes.

Dr. Gates started the music and paid the price as he should. Mr. Sullum is also mistaken about the dismissal of charges. Every day all over the country, district attorneys and U.S. attorneys regularly dismiss charges against villains. Doing so does not necessarily mean the charges were filed in error, or that their is no evidence of same. Sgt. Crowley was right, Dr. Gates wrong.
This is about behavior, Dr. Gates' behavior,...

I agree wholeheartedly with Dr. Paulson here and I try to do the same thing when I fly, which is infrequently.

I also do it wherever I am, as does my family. Of course we're all involved in one way or another in law enforcement and security so it's sort of second nature to us.

What I'm wondering is whether our peers will do the same thing. I ask because of the "dry run" as WND referred to it on the Atlanta to Houston flight prior to - prior to - the Christmas day attempt. Many of the passengers on that flight simply left when the (apparent) Muslims were returned to the plane. Not sure that's profiling as Dr. Paulson refers to it, nor is what we are called to do as citizens.

It's up to us to protect ourselves and...

As usual Mr. Hawkins is generally right here. I would however take issue with ". . . the overwhelming majority of Muslim immigrants are patriotic, loyal, and good citizens of the United States."

I'm not sure this is correct. While a large majority of Muslims in this country may not engage in terrorism many do support terrorists and terrorist organizations and if they are Muslim are inherently anti-Jewish and probably anti-U.S. It is simply what it is (cf. http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/; http://www.politicalislam.com/).

Many continue to point out how the vast majority of Muslims aren't this or that, and yet the vast majority of Muslims do not come out in favor of the U.S. and/or against the various terrorist and other...
