A Couple of Letters

Profiling makes us safer

Katherine Kersten's Dec. 14 column on the End Racial Profiling Act made my blood boil. The reason we scrutinize people of Middle Eastern descent in airports isn't because we are intolerant bigots, it's because several Middle Eastern men hijacked and crashed airliners, killing thousands.

Profiling is simply using our limited resources in the most practical way. We know who committed those acts and who has vowed to do more of the same.

If people of Middle Eastern descent were truly on our side in the war on terror, they would gladly accept additional scrutiny and inconvenience in the name of safety for us all.

Jimmy G. Moron, BURNSVILLE

Now, I've been accused before of not being "serious" about the war in terror. Brother, the scales have fallen from my eyes. I agree with Mr. Moron's letter, and would like to post an open letter of my own below.

Before I do that, though, I feel I should share what momentous event has led me to this new understanding. It's an important story and people should be aware of. An important story that no doubt most of you don't know because the LIBRUL MEDIA hasn't told you. Just a few weeks ago there was a milestone moment in the War on TERROR; an extremist who was arrested in a plot to blow up this nation's capitol and spread death and destruction via C4 and Sarin gas was convicted and sentenced for his crime.

This has lead me to believe that if we are to survive as a nation, we need to confront this menace head on. Thank you, Demetrius "Van" Crocker for awaking me to the danger posed by white, male conservatives.

Now, before anyone accuses me of race baiting here, I like white, male conservatives just fine. I have white, male conservative friends. I know that not all white, male conservatives are out to blow up federal buildings. Still, the fact remains that every federal building that has been blown up in this country has been blown up by a white, male conservative and obviously these dangerous extremists have not given up on their plans to blow up more of them. So, without further ado, my open letter to the American People:


Katherine Kersten's Dec. 14 column on the End Racial Profiling Act made my blood boil. The reason we scrutinize people of white, male conservative description at federal buildings isn't because we are intolerant bigots, it's because several white, male conservatives blew up a federal building, killing more than a hundred people.

Profiling is simply using our limited resources in the most practical way. We know who committed those acts and who has vowed to do more of the same.

If white, male conservatives were truly on our side in the war on terror, they would gladly accept additional scrutiny and inconvenience in the name of safety for us all.

So, flame away, liberals. The safety of our nation comes first. If a couple of white, male conservatives can't rent cars or cross the border or find themselves harassed by the police I'm sure they'll be only too happy to accept it as doing their small part in the war on terror.
