So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning former Governors, and leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 & 40 alone because of profiling. Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves if they have any such sense.

You know what this is, This is the fault of hippies, especially demecratic hippies because if democrats and other people that are against having republicans in office don't let our president and government do their job they sure as hell are gonna bitch and wave their flags when something bad happens again. Let the government do their f'ing jobs they know more then all of us. This past year especially I have seen so much anti-bush hatting going on. The problem isn't our president the problem is you! no offense to anybody. We need to stop crying about whos in office and band together. -Phill (had to rant)
Dude, don't blame hippies.......you obviously ain't one and probably don't know too many real ones. Peace WildBill
Ok ok, profiling works. It's just too bad that 98% of the time, all we do is put people on a plane home.
Don't know to many hippies? I live near berkeley my sister goes to evergreen. Most people in my town have dreads and go to peace rallies. You tell me what hippies are then. and yes by hippy demecrats i pretty much mean liberals.(still ranting) -Phill
"help, help, Hippies everywhere. they want to save the world, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad." -Eric Cartman
Hey now, let's not be hasty. Some of them suicide bombers are Muslim FEMALE extremists! Now that throws a wrench in your theory!!:grin:
dems? The idea democrats are keeping the "prez" from doing what he wants is ridiculous. He has a rubber stamp from the GOP congress and Senate. Besides he is doing what he wants-taking money from those wonderful republican-types and letting them call the shots, meanwhile gutting our economy and 30 years of environmental conservation laws. Giving Halliburton free reign over our treasury. What a great guy! I'm not so naive as to believe none of this happens when others are in office, but ya'll shouldn't be so naive as to take a Bush or Cheney at face value, and assume they are really interested in the average American's welfare. (not po' people welfare, I mean the way you and I get along every day). "Let him do his job"-please give me a break. Wasn't even elected. He and his appointees spending lots of time scaring us into believing terrorists are everywhere. Why have there been no more attacks here in the US since 2001? Are you sure you know whether they would let us know if there were? What about the blackout last summer in the N.E.? check these out if you are interested in the "job" he's "doing" ever get tax cuts like this? It's nice we are giving money to rich people, it comes from OUR POCKETS, whether now or down the road. And I really don't have any trouble with rich people, I just think they have it pretty easy, what with their companies getting even more tax breaks. Yeah I know it helps keep people like me in a job-however not lately, not when you let the companies with too many breaks already move their jobs overseas to save mo money. I am serious about this, and you can say or think "oh what a pitiful liberal, doesn't know anything" or whatever. I didn't make this stuff up. This is what your "prez" is "doing" at his "job"-oh besides the vacations and the flying around on AF1 (spending our money to do so) campaigning. read the last 3 paragraphs of this then do a search for mountaintop mining I think this "prez" is interested in new nookular power too just in Bush's first 100 days in office! Yeah, thanks for doin yer "job" Bushie buddy! (sorry had to rant)
Well this "hippie" is sitting here hoping that my son-in-law does not come home from Iraq in body bag.Then i will regret my vote in the last presidential election.By the way, pot is just smokeable beer.Every time i read ( X killed in Iraq today) in the paper i pray his name is not listed. Smoking a beer is the only stress reliever thats safe(read the warning sheet that comes with YOUR stress relievers!). Dudes and Dudettes, it's time we to take a LONG HARD LOOK at who we put in jail and just exactly for what reasons we send our loved ones IN HARMS WAY for the U.S. of A! Peace WildBill
I will refrain from being political here in the future I read someone's post about not being political on the V8 board, after I added my post to this thread. I agree if we need to do it there are better places. Christopher
By the way wildbill pot is not just smokeable beer, It deteriorates your ability to use your frontal lobe. The frontal lobe is one of the most important things in our brain that makes us different then the average mammal. It gives us the ability to think and make important decisions. Im not saying I haven't ever partaken in the recreation of "smokeable beer" but it really says alot for the Democratic Party "most of whom were hippies at one time". -Phill
Never intended for this to get "political." Just sharing something I thought was entertaining if nothing else.
