Nope, ..I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
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, andMedal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss,but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
Let's send this to as many people as we can so thatthe Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneysalong with Federal Justices that want to thwart commonsense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves -- if theyhave any such sense. As the writer of the awardwinning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupidis as stupid does."

LETS CUT AND RUN IN IRAQ
I finally agree with the Democrats.
Lets cut our losses and high tail it out of Iraq.
Unlike the Democrats, I have developed an exit plan -- copies of which I have distributed to President Bush, Secretary of State Rice, Secretary of Defense Rumsfield and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
It is quite a simple plan that can quickly be implemented -- requiring three basic steps.
1. Pull all Americans -- military and civilians -- out of Iraq immediately.
2. Stage a fly over of Iraq by a wing of B-1 bombers carrying a total of 15 nuclear devices which will be dropped strategically throughout the country and detonated at a high altitude.
3. Stage robot flyovers of Iraq for the next 14 years. When the atmosphere has cooled down enough from radiation, send in technicians to take over the oil fields.
No fuss -- no muss -- no bother
Hillary says the Iraq war is all about oil -- lets prove her right

AMERICA'S BIGGEST THREAT
Last night we filled our 2002 Ford ZX2 with regular unleaded gasoline that cost $2.57 per gallon. The fillup cost was in the vicinity of $25.00 because it held just under 10 gallons.
When the car was new, three years ago, we had to strain to hit $11.00 at the fuel pump
But the price of gas at the pump is only one of the perils we face. Rising oil prices are increasing the price of virtually everything we buy and consume.
Particularly hard hit is food cost.
I cook the Wednesday night meal at Calvary Hill Baptist Church each week. Last year we broke even -- it did not cost the church a penny above what we took in and we only charge $3.50 for a complete adult meal.
Today my food cost is more than 40 percent above what it was a year ago -- and a year ago gasoline was $1.09 per gallon as compared to today's $2.56.
In light of increased transportation costs, food is one of the biggest bargains going today. The price increase has been held at roughly 40 percent while the cost of transporting the food has gone up more than 100 percent.
This past weekend gasoline prices at service stations in the Dallas area rose virtually every hour. We passed a Shell station on the way to church that was advertising gas at $2.48 per gallon. Going by this same station two hours later the listed price was $2.60 per gallon.
What could possibly transpire on a Sunday that would cause gas prices to shoot up .12 cents per gallon.
The reason is simple -- oil companies are gouging us for every cent they can steal -- and blaming it on a change in leadership of an Arab country and "uncertainty" as to future oil supplies.
Mobil Exxon is the worst offender -- profits for this conglomerate are at the highest they have ever been. Not income, mind you, profits.
Now it is time to hear the magic words.
Washington -- forget about how we are treating Arab prisoners of war who are trying to kill us --
Austin -- Forget about how you are going to steal money from a public school district that is sell sufficient and give it to a less fortunate distict that is overrun by illegal aliens who pay no taxes, speak no English and probably never will.
Forget all this and utter the magic words that will prove you do have a concern for mainstream American citizens...
For the next 90 days we are suspending all state and federal taxes on petroleum products while we get a handle on stopping these obscene crude oil prices.
Don't hold your breath until you hear these words.
Because you get right down to it -- our Republican led government and our Democratic wantabees could care less about us.

FULL CIRCLE
"It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible. "
These words -- spoken by President George Bush today --echoed through the halls of the United States Senate, beginning a turmoil the likes of which our nation has never seen.
"Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, our religion and morality are the indispensable supporters, " President Bush continued.
At this point, Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy sprang to his feet in protest and called for the Sergeant At Arms to escort the President from the dias. Senator Barbara Boxer choked and Senator Hillary Clinton fell out of her swivel chair.
"This clearly is a violation of the clause of seperation in our Constitution," Senator Kennedy roared. He further threatened to call a special inquiry hearing before the supreme court, and named his homosexual cohort in the house of representatives, Barney Franks, to head up a judicial probe.
After being driven from the speakers stand on the Senate floor President Bush continues his comments in the Senate Cloak Room.
"Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion, President Bush said. " Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that our national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
By now you realize that this scenario is totally false -- a product of my imagination? For surely no politically correct office holder in America today would commit such traversty as this, in clear violation of ourConstitution.
The scenario is false, but the quoted words are not.
These words were spoken by President George Washington during his final speech as president.
Can you imagine?
The Father of Our Country could not speak his convictions today without incurring the wrath of the entire Democratic Party, the American Civil Liberties Union, PFlag and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance.
Isn't it comforting to know that our society today has rid itself of the shackles of injustice and intolerance that were espounded by the Founding Fathers of this nation?
We have come full circle.
Our first president, who devoted his life and his fortune to create the United States of America, would now be deemed unconstitutional.
At least he would as interpreted by the Supreme Court.

TIME FOR JIMMY CARTER TO SHUT UP
The best words that can be said about Jimmy Carter -- FORMER PRESIDENT.
Thank goodness he isn't in the White House today. Come to think of it if he had never been in the White House the war on terror might not have escalated to the heighth it is.
Speaking at a convention in Europe Carter said Guantanamo and the face that we are holding prisoners there is an embarrasment to the citizens of the United States.
I am a citizen of the United States and am puzzled as to why Carter is speaking for me.
I could care less what we do to the prisoners at Guantanamo, although I do advocate for each copy of the Koran we flush down the toilet there, we flush one Arab prisoner along with it.
But then that might violate the clause of separation of church and state -- wherever it is.
I suggest former President Carter is more of an embarrasment to the United States than a prison full of Arab terrorists.
No, I take that back -- Carter is a disgrace to the United States.
This is the same Jimmy Carter who helped heighten terror in the Middle East when he withdrew support of the Shah of Iran which led to his exile and the seizing of that country by terrorists.
This is the same Jimmy Carter who stood by and did nothing while a group of American citizens were being held hostage and mistreated in Iran.
This is the same Jimmy Carter who, when he did decide to do something about it, abandoned an expiditionary force into Iran when the ill trained and worse equipped soldiers were felled by a sandstorm.
It has taken America more than 20 years now to recover from the damage Carter did in four years in office -- and America would be well served if he kept his mouth shut
