For Dems Business As Usual: Politics Over Security
The Democrats are so remarkably beholden to their left wing nutroot base that they again place political considerations ahead of the security of our nation.
Case in point. Recall the “Flying Imams” and the “Fort Dix Six.” The latter were the group plotting to kill soldiers at Fort Dix and were thwarted by the Circuit City clerk who viewed their jihadist video and reported it to the authorities. The former were removed from a U.S. Airways flight after their behavior was reported to the flight crew.
The imams have filed a pending discrimination lawsuit against the passengers who reported them. In response, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) has introduced an amendment to a security bill that would protect citizens from being sued for reporting suspicious activity.
However, this amendment is being held up by the Democrats in Congress, specifically Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, because it will encourage racial profiling. Of course, if we’re open to being sued for money damages if we report suspicious behavior to the authorities, it will discourage actions like those that resulted in the apprehension of the Fort Dix Six.
Pelosi, Reid and the lot of them are very simply partisan hack idiots who cannot be trusted to protect this country from attack.
