Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 Podcast.
The drive by media is in a tizzy.
They cannot believe it.
The president is going to delay announcing his plans for Iraq until next month, which is next year.
And they are beside themselves.
They want it now, and they want him to capitulate, and they want him to announce failure.
And I am here to tell you, based on what I'm reading, it's going to be just the opposite.
It's going to be more troops.
It's going to be victory.
The drive-by media obsessed with process, not with substance.
We have audio sound bites on that.
Lots of other stuff here today as well, ladies and gentlemen.
Rush Lindbaugh behind this.
The golden EIB microphone.
Always love doing that because it just angers the engineers.
It does crazy things to the meters on our broadcast consoles.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
The email address is Rush at EIBNet.com.
And as always, a special welcome to those of you watching on the Ditto Cam at uh at RushlinBod.com.
All right, couple lighthearted things here to start with.
Workers at Turkish Airlines.
This is in Istanbul.
Workers at Turkish Airlines.
Celebrated a job well done by sacrificing a camel at Istanbul Airport, and their boss has now been suspended.
The national flag carrier said on Wednesday, the maintenance staff killed a camel at Turkey's busiest airport after sending a batch of aircraft back to the supplier ahead of schedule.
Turkish Airlines suspended the head of plane maintenance pending an investigation, the company said in a statement, Seattle, eat your hearts out.
This is how you celebrate Christmas or whatever it is over in Turkey.
Sacrifice a camel.
Barbie is back selling big time wearing, you know, typical girl clothes and so forth.
It's just they tried to wipe Barbie out.
And then he tried to uh desexualize uh Barbie and Barbie's coming back and check this.
Uh from New York, by day, Sandra Martinez works at a New York law firm, but by night she throws off her conservative image and becomes Sandra Claus, an amateur female jello wrestler.
At a grungy live music bar on New York's Lower East Side, she joined eleven other women to do battle in a blue blow-up kitty pool decorated with orange fish and filled with warm, clear clumps of an unflavored version of jello.
It lets us do things we probably want to do to women sometimes that we dislike, but we have a forum here where we can express it in a fun and safe way, said Martinez, a 27-year-old business development specialist.
Her competitors with day jobs, including Nanny and Marketing Manager, and introduce each other by stage names.
The show's done for the girls put together by girls as something that's a fun, friendly competition, said Diana Sterling, who has organized the amateur female jello wrestling competition once a month for the last three years.
It's really hard to explain to my mother, she said, who uh Sterling by day works as a lighting designer, really is a sport.
It's uh it's a satire sport.
Several competing women said the concept of female jello wrestling conjured an image of sleazy men watching naked women roll around.
But that's Sterling's event.
Uh not not that.
It's far from that.
We work hard to promote it as a feminist thing.
And uh and the night's really like a community night in that it is really what the uh women uh make up it.
It's it's just aggression release.
It's sexy as well, throwing women around in uh jello.
Where is this place?
What is this?
Uh uh a grungy live music bar on New York's Lower East Side.
Um doesn't give the name of the bar in the story.
Cool.
One of the reporters, a woman, uh, Michelle Nichols.
Uh, this is uh Reuters report.
Okay, so the woman wants it all to herself.
You know, ladies and gentlemen, I have um I've done such a good job of bringing down prices on the flat panel TVs that Sony is upset now.
Uh here's the story.
Uh Sony says TV prices are dropping too fast because of no name brands.
Flat flat panel TV prices dropping faster than expected.
Sony's not too happy about it.
Prices for liquid crystal display TV should drop between 25 and 30% this year.
That's between 5% and 7% more than Sony anticipated.
We'll stay competitive, but we won't do anything that damages the industry long term, saying that Sony has a responsibility not to accelerate price declines in a way that could hurt the uh the industry.
Now, this all came about, as you know, Walmart said that uh uh the flat panel TVs are gonna be the item this year because prices are coming down.
Why are prices coming down?
Because people like me go out when these things first come out and pay the full boat retail price, which is about five times what the price is today.
And if it weren't for people like me doing this, this is why I am owed, uh, people like me are owed a debt of gratitude, because we take the hit on this stuff.
And uh and and the this is like the early VCRs, the early DVD players, the I I was one of the first to buy a DVD recorder.
The darn thing was fifteen hundred bucks.
And the blank DVD, uh CD recorders, just C D I was one of the first to buy and I bought it for the broadcast studio and I bought one for home.
Those things were fifteen hundred bucks, fifteen hundred bucks a piece, maybe two thousand.
You can only get them at broadcast supply houses.
And the blank CDs were fifty dollars.
Now they're what, 99 cents?
If that, and if you buy them in bulk, I mean the containers cost more than that.
The jewel boxes do.
And see, ladies and gentlemen, so uh uh the if if you're waiting for flat panel TVs, what's happening here, Sony's upset because the the the these things that are coming out with no identifiable brand names, all these wacko brand names out there, but they are made with the same ingredients that uh that the Sony gang and the and the other big name brands put their TVs together with.
Uh and and then they're just being undercut because the brand name doesn't exact a hard uh large part of the uh retail price.
All right, now that's some of the lighthearted stuff, and there is more uh lighthearted stuff out there.
We've got more on Obama.
It's getting it's getting funny now with the way the babes in the drive-by media are reacting.
Uh and folks, it it's also um I I have to tell you, i i it's getting scary.
And it's it's it's uh yeah, w we had stories this week about uh the the Christmas trees in Seattle and the whole controversy over that.
And we've had people, you know, going nuts over the heart attack grill here, and those things are just harmless and mindless, and they're just distractions.
And it's it to me, when I when I saw these things happening, as it's evidence of uh the just the country crumbling right in front of our eyes.
Uh we're creating enemies within our own boundaries and borders that don't exist.
It's almost like that we're in a cultural civil war all over again.
After I thought some progress was being made on this, and you can find um individual stories uh that refute the notion of the uh of the culture crumbling uh even at this time of year, and I have some of those in the stack, and we'll get to them.
But when you look at what's going on around the rest of the world, uh, and and and nobody seems to notice it or be upset about it or even be able to place it in proper context.
Let me just give you some headlines, and we'll discuss this in detail as the program unfolds.
Report Russia to ship nuclear fuel to Iran.
Headline world leaders express outrage on Iranian Holocaust denial conference.
Wait till you see, I I think a lot of people oh, these good these nutty Iranians.
I mean, what what what the hell's gonna I don't don't discount this, folks, as as cockeyed and out of sync as the world is today.
This anti-Holocaust or the Holocaust Never Happened convention in Iran is going to spread.
Uh anti-Semitism is at an all time all-time high in the world, and I think probably uh particularly Western Europe, uh, it's gonna find a lot of sympathy.
There are gonna be a lot of people who have been harboring this thought that it never happened to be uh given confidence now to come out of the woodwork, and that you you think that this won't be seriously debated in places outside of Tehran.
You are wrong.
Sir seriously debate I'm predicting to you that this is not going to stay within the room in Tehran where this thing was discussed and you wait.
You wait.
Here's another headline Pentagon evangelism called national security threat.
We have a national security for some people upset that some evangelicals in the Pentagon get together and and uh and and and worship now and then this is considered a national threat, a security threat, while half the people of this country, if not more, couldn't care less about genuine security threats that are occurring around the world and inside this country every day.
Here's another headline.
Muslim pilgrims have been urged to complain.
This is an adjunct to the flying imams story.
The flying Imam story was a no question now, a stunt.
It was a setup.
It was a dry run.
Basically, American Muslims making a religious pilgrimage to Mecca are being encouraged to file civil rights complaints if they feel discriminated against by the airlines.
There is a war on the airlines by this care group and a number of others, and they're trying to gum up the whole security apparatus of air travel in this country and intimidate the people of this country into not reporting uh suspicious things that they see in any process of a plane trip.
And I think what needs to happen here is that the uh particularly in this case, U.S. Airways was the airline involving the uh flying imams, they absolutely did the right thing, and they need support from as many Americans as possible.
All of the airlines do.
This is getting out of hand.
More details on this as the uh as the program unfolds.
Police um suspect uh suspect eleven arrested in Spain were considering a terror attack.
The police have arrested eleven people in Spain thinking that uh they were engaged in terrorism.
Uh now Spain, no doubt shocked and stunned at this because they got out of Iraq and they totally changed their government on the on the premise that Al Qaeda and the uh uh Islamo fascists would leave them alone.
That has not been the case.
Another headline atheists demand removal of church bells.
This is from Griswold, Connecticut.
So here we have atheists in this country trying to tear down, as they always do, uh, anything to do with religion.
Uh none of their business.
They're scared to death.
If they're really profoundly strong in their atheism, they wouldn't be bothered by any of this.
But it's not that they're comfortable and confident they don't want anybody else to be celebrating religion either.
This is tyranny of the minority.
And all of these stories up, and these are very serious things that represent uh potential real damage to uh to our culture and the American institutions that have given us our way of life.
A quick time out, we'll be back and continue with all this and much more here on the EIB network.
Sit tight.
Hi, we are back.
It's Rush Limboy, and it's Thursday, and this is the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
I, America's truth detector, guiding light, and living legend behind the golden EIB microphone.
Oh, it's only Wednesday.
Well, the fastest week in media is not fast enough.
It's only Wednesday.
Well, it's it's been a long time since I got the day of the week wrong.
That'll probably make AP for a week.
Limbaugh thought Wednesday was Thursday will be the headline.
By the way, have you been wondering, ladies and gentlemen, like I have, as I have the past month or so, where the hell are the conservatives?
Is there anybody out there?
Can somebody tell me where they are?
That's Paul Shanklin with a very tight pair of underwear.
And where have all the conservatives gone?
That's of course takeoff on Paula Cole and where have all the cowboys gone.
Um the president has delayed until 2007 his plans on Iraq.
White House made this announcement yesterday.
Uh, and of course, uh Tony Snow said this is not going to happen a little new year.
He decided, frankly, it's not ready yet.
The president trying to consolidate conflicting advice on how to change course in Iraq, where sectarian violence is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, spiraled out of control.
And I don't know what's happening, but I'm my instincts.
I trust my instincts, and I think there is a giant screw you coming.
I'm gonna go on record.
I uh well, I'll not officially predict it, but I'm gonna tell you that when this announcement of what we're gonna do, all you gotta do is read the tea leaves here.
I've been reading them since after the election.
There isn't a military person out there in the world that the president's listening to that's saying get out.
There's not a military person in the world that says, Yeah, we can get out by 2008, or we should get out by 2009, or we get out by 2007, or they're saying just the opposite of this, folks.
And now the Saudis, the Saudis have shown up and hey, if you get out of there, it's gonna lead to a bloodbath, and we will have no choice but than to support the Sunnis over there.
And then so and I think this explains Cheney's trip.
And I was wondering what was Cheney doing over there the weekend after Thanksgiving.
Saudi Arabia has told the Bush administration it might provide financial backing to Iraqi Sunnis in any war against Iraq Shiites if the U.S. pulls its troops out of Iraq.
King Abdullah, Saudi Arabia, conveyed that message to President Cheney two weeks ago during Cheney's whirlwind visit to Riyadh.
Yeah, I'm sure Cheney didn't go because he was summoned by the King of Saudi Arabia in order to hear the message.
I'm more interested in what we told them.
Anyway, uh Abdullah also expressed strong opposition to diplomatic talks between the United States and Iran.
I'm telling you what's happening here.
The drive-by media knows it, and they are in a tizzy.
They are beside themselves.
They want the Baker Hamilton report codified.
They want it to be the central theme of this new Bush strategy, and the Baker Hamilton report is dead on arrival.
And the president's already given that indication in so many words.
The Baker-Hamilton report is the result of the drive-by media's three-year war against the war in Iraq and the war on terror.
And they got what they wanted in that report.
Cut and run, pull out, involve our enemies, and really humiliate Bush and really humiliate the United States of America as a prelude and setup to the 2008 presidential election.
The President of the United States probably has never been more alone.
Tony Blankly, a piece today in the Washington Times making this observation, and I'll bet he's right.
Um probably has never been more alone than any president uh in uh in wartime than President Bush is today.
Uh delaying this until 2007, I think that's the first part of the screw you.
Uh I'm President.
I'm commander-in-chief, and I'm gonna do this on my timetable, and it's very serious, and I'm not gonna hustle a new policy and a new letter to you just because you want it when you want it, so you can crucify me.
There's not another person going to be crucified this Christmas season.
I'm not joining your parade, he's saying.
I'll I'll speak to you in plenty of time in January.
In the meantime, little hints of what's going on.
Los Angeles Times, Pentagon's plan more U.S. troops in Iraq.
As President Bush weighs new policy options for Iraq, strong support.
Strong support, has coalesced in the Pentagon behind a military plan to double down in Iraq, with a substantial build-up in American troops, an increase in industrial aid, and a major combat offensive against Mukta Al-Sadr, the radical Shiite leader impeding development of the Iraqi government.
The approach overlaps somewhat, of course, pronounced and promoted by Senator McCain, but the Pentagon proposal well, many of them add several features, including the confrontation with Soder.
And uh and then the Washington Post today, Army Marine Corps to ask for more troops in general.
Uh it doesn't seem to me, ladies and gentlemen, like any aspect of the Iraq surrender group report is even being considered here by the military person.
Of course, why would the military people consider it there was nothing having to do with military strategy or victory other than cut and run and pull the troops out in 2008 in the whole Iraq surrender group report.
The media is beside itself.
They thought they had the president defeated on this.
And he and I don't look, I'm just guessing at what I think he's gonna do, but uh uh if you read uh between the lines, stitches and a fastball like I can, doesn't seem like the media gonna be happy here.
Yes, lots to do on the program today, uh, ladies and gentlemen, and plus we want to get as many of your uh telephone calls in as possible.
I really appreciate all of you who call, and I know sometimes a lot of you are on hold for a very long time, and I I appreciate that too, but there is a rhythm and a flow to this program, and only I, as the uh uh highly trained broadcast specialist, uh, understand, feel, sense, and uh instinctually uh perceive, and so that flow uh as I perceive it goes as I execute it.
And if that means you're on hold for an hour and a half, that's what it means.
And I appreciate your patience.
Uh but I'm gonna try to make it not so long today because a lot of this I think we can accomplish with phone calls acting as uh uh transition points.
Victor in Chicago, your first.
Nice to have you on the program.
Welcome, sir.
Uh thank you, Rush, and Merry Christmas.
Same to you, sir.
Um yeah, my comment is basically that the culture, because people are worried about what what seem to be silly or insignificant things, it actually means things are going well for most people.
Well, here's my problem.
I in a in a uh in a sterile circumstance, I could appreciate and understand what you're saying, that you have rabble rousing groups over here doing their best to uh undermine the institutions, the traditional institutions that have made the country great and continue to define us as an exceptional country.
And then over the other side, oh no, you don't, you creeps, and we smash them down because they're the minority.
What's happening?
We've got a we've got a country here of people who are becoming more and more passive in the face of all this.
Or they they cave to it because they've been imbued with so much guilt.
Well, you have to understand how these people feel.
There's so few of them, and they feel oppressed.
I don't care whether they feel oppressed.
If they're not oppressed and they feel oppressed, I don't care.
If there's genuine oppression going on, then we do something about it.
But if somebody just comes along and says, I feel oppressed, you must stop ringing the church bell.
Screw them.
I mean, this idea of running around telling everybody else how to live and and uh uh so forth, it's starting to grate on me.
Especially from a bunch of no account minority ne'er do wells who are such a small group of people in the first place.
I mean, after the atheists, fine, be an atheist.
Vegetarian, fine, be a vegetarian, but leave me alone when I don't want to play ball with you.
Don't try and come along and tell me I can't believe what I believe because it threatens you.
Go believe what you want to believe, do it in your own place, and leave everybody alone.
That's not what's happening.
What's happening is these people, from the care group to the atheists to the ever every every other cultural perversion and oddity are trying to get rid of the standardized norms that have defined a healthy culture and civilization in this country precisely because they want chaos.
They don't want to feel like they're the oddball kook weirdos that they are, and so they're trying to get rid of all of this so-called oppression.
Uh uh now I know that there are people standing up to it, and I know that they're like me, and others of you out there that are standing up to it, and there are good signs.
I'll find the stories in the stack today where these people are being beaten back.
But I do worry when when there's so much passivity about real enemies that we face, real dangers that we face, and I know what this this collective guilt uh that Shelby Steele has written so superbly about can cause people to do.
And everybody wants to be nice, and nobody wants to be perceived as mean.
And so when these malcontents come along and start lodging their complaints, well, I understand how they feel.
I it's the new Castrati.
I mean, we've got a Castrati out there, the new Castrati, people without any spine, backbone, testicles, whatever you want to say.
And they're and they're willing to bend over forwards and backwards just not to offend people.
I'll tell you, it's getting real tired uh here, and I'm I'm I'm getting close to having worn out on it.
Canon Tulsa, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello, sir.
Good morning, Rush.
How are you?
Never better, sir.
Never better, despite the cultural rot all around me.
Well, first of all, let me say that it's an honor to be on your show, and please keep up the good work.
Thank you, sir.
I shall.
Because only I can really do it.
Sir.
Only I can really do it.
Everybody else has potentially.
Listen, this is in regard to your um uh to your piece yesterday on uh the heart attack grill and in Arizona and I candy cuts in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
My wife and I own and operate I candy cuts in Tulsa.
Oh, yeah, we got a phone call from a woman telling us about your place.
Yes.
And and there was she run was she accurate and discreet?
Your eye candy uh uh eye candy uh what what's the actual name of your business?
The actual name is I candy cuts.
I candy cuts.
Yes.
All right, and so sh anybody can go in and get their hair cut.
Well, anybody can go in and get their hair cut as long as they are male and over the age of eighteen.
We cater to the male to the male population.
Oh, that's good enough for me.
And uh and uh uh and and and the the clarification that I wanted to make was that it is not the neighbors that are upset with uh what we're doing at iCandy Cuts and and to my knowledge there's no group that is lobbying the Board of Cosmetology concerning the attire of the stylists that at iCandy Cuts.
And what is that attire?
Uh we just to be just to be clearly pretty well described it.
We have uh we have costumes that the girls wear that show cleavage, uh uh we have uh thigh high stockings, they're in high heels, they uh they may have a mid drift uh an exposed mid drift, uh nothing nothing that you can't see at the beach or a swimming pool in Tulsa, Oklahoma and in Ju on the Fourth of July.
Yeah, but it's December.
That's why we're gonna we just turn the heat up.
So uh more ways than one.
You know the thing I'm I'm thinking here, if I walked into your store to get a haircut, I know one of the key things that's required when you're getting your hair, you gotta keep your head still, especially when the uh depending on what implements the uh the stylist is using, and you you eye candy is uh does not lend itself keeping one's head still.
Well uh even if you're getting your hair cut that doesn't uh immobilize your eyeballs.
And so uh uh you know, we have uh uh we have mirrors in front of the s of in front of the stations and uh and the eye candy the eye candy is available for your viewing pleasure uh at such time as you can move your head.
Yeah, I see that.
I forgot about the mirror aspect.
Well, but the the another the point that I wanted to make was that it is not a group that is lobbying the Board of Cosmetology concerning a tire.
It is the Board of Cosmetology itself that wants to include the verbiage change in the regulations that says the attire of the licensees must cover from the shoulders to mid-thigh, including armpits, and that short sleeves are acceptable.
Oh, so it's not the it's not the public that's upset with you, it's uh it's a regulatory body.
That's exactly right.
And um now can people drive by your shop and see what's going on in the window?
Uh no, they cannot.
Well, then what's the beef?
Uh well that's that's a that's a question that's a good question.
We'd like to know that also.
I went to a meeting last Monday in which the board voted yes to include this verbiage into their regulations, and the assistant attorney general that was also present at the meeting told them that they had no jurisdiction concerning attire, but that they had the uh authority to rewrite the regulations if that's what they chose to do, and that is what they chose to do.
So they are willing and wanting to include verbiage in the regulations that would affect thirty thousand licensees within the state of Oklahoma.
What are you gonna do?
Uh well, there's a long bureaucratic uh trail that this thing has to take.
Right now we're not we're not doing anything.
Um I think that we want to see what the final result of the uh is and let me tell you right now, Ken, let me tell you right now what you need to do.
The heart attack grill is a great model.
There are so many real people who are or are uh in support of the heart attack grill, patronizing the place, reacting to the state attorney general's office trying to get them to change the attire of their nurse waitresses in there.
Yes.
Uh and that's what you need.
You need a public ground swell of support for your freedom to run your business as you want.
You are not oppressing these stylists.
They're not, you know, they they they are choosing to work there based on what your requirements are.
Nobody is being hurt, nobody is being harmed, nobody can accidentally walk by or drive by and see what's going on.
And even if they could, yippee.
It's like going to the beach, you say.
So what you need is a groundswell of support to uh to overwhelm the regulatory body.
Don't insult the regulatory body.
That's just gonna rev them up even more to teach you a lesson.
Oh, exactly.
Well, and and uh furthermore, Russ, we've been uh we have been inspected by the city of Tulsa, the neighborhood inspection divis uh division.
And our information has been submitted to two different city attorneys.
And neither city attorney found us to be in violation of any of Tulsa's city ordinances.
What they're wanting to do is make it to where that manicurist that's doing uh that that's that's performing a manicure cannot wear a tank top or uh or a sun dress.
Uh I mean it gets pretty hot in in uh in July and August in Oklahoma.
Uh that stylist would not be able to wear a sleeveless blouse to wear a violation of regulation.
Well, look, we're happy to help out here, Ken uh publicizing your plight down there.
This is uh uh a lot of people who are uptight about things that they don't see, uh, and that and that they don't confront, and that they don't have to see.
Uh don't let them get away with uh trying to portray what you're doing here is corrupting anybody.
This is you're talking about adults and so forth, and you've got a business to run, and uh hair salon's a hair salon.
I mean, any business that's in competition with another has to do things to stand out.
There's a lot of noise out there, and you have to be louder than all the other noise.
Uh sounds to me like you found a fun and cute and uh stylish uh way of doing this that's uh, you know, harmless.
Uh, particularly, I mean, when you look at other things that the the the what's the crime rate in Tulsa?
What what what what is being taken seriously there that is representative of cultural rot that is perhaps not getting the full attention of authorities down there, and they're now focusing on you because you're an easy target and and they think easy to defeat, and they can notch their belt with you.
But hang tough, we gotta go.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back after this.
Welcome back, folks, Rush Limbaugh, Merry Christmas from all of us here at EIB to all of you out there.
We go to Linda in Cincinnati.
Thank you for waiting, Linda, and hello.
Hi, Russ.
Hey, hey, when you were talking about the uh the Muslims that are getting ready to file civil suits before they even travel to Mecca, I thought that's exactly what Democrats do before every election.
They claim voting pro yeah, they claim fraud before the vote takes place.
They claim that all these things are going to happen.
In this case, you know, that that's that's a pretty good analogy.
In this case, though, uh it's it's it's it's I think it's hard to say it's worse.
It may be the same thing.
American Muslims making the religious pilgrimage to Mecca are being encouraged to file civil rights complaints if they feel discriminated against by airlines, the Council on American Islamic Relations, citing uh what it called the airport profiling of six Imams, the flying imams removed from a recent flight.
Yesterday said that Muslims traveling this month to the holy site in Saudi Arabia need to be aware of their rights.
Given the increase in the number of complaints care has received, alleging airport profiling of American Muslims.
We believe it's important that all those taking part in this year's Hajj be aware of their legal and civil rights, said Ibrahim Hooper, the spokesman for care.
Ibrahim Hooper, by the way, the former Doug Hooper of Duluth, Minnesota.
Now, this is an is this is a uh a pretty good example of what I have been talking about earlier.
While we are distracted with these silly little things like the heart attack grill and uh and the uh the uh eye candy uh haircut place out in Tulsa, and all these and the atheists demanding that church bells in the Seattle airport business.
We have a real problem taking place right in front of our eyes, and if we if we remain passive about this, we're gonna lose the country while nobody is noticing.
Now, here's the point that I want to make about this.
We all know about this the flying imams, and we know that it was a stunt now.
We know that it was a setup for this.
The flying imams, these six imams deliberately provoked being thrown off that airplane by acting in a way that was similar to what people have been told the 9-11 hijackers did.
That flight crew was responsible.
They are being intimidated, they're being hounded, and people are being intimidated, average people, passengers are being intimidated not to report this stuff because they don't want to get sued, they don't want to be called bigots, they don't want to be called racists.
It's the same Sort of like a reverse oppression, if you will.
And I worry with as much passivity as there is in this country and the desire not to offend people, how successful this will be.
But let's this is 180 degrees out of phase.
This this Ibrahim Doug Hooper fellow worried about profiling.
Worried about there was no profiling.
It was the actions of these people that got them noticed, as they fully intended.
Here's the thing, folks.
It is you, American citizens, who are discriminated against every time you go to the airport.
You are the ones who have to be looked at and talked to like you are criminals.
You have to take off most of your clothes and shoes.
You have your private belongings pawed through an X-rayed, you can't bring enough shampoo to wash your hair for a weekend.
And you haven't ever hijacked an airplane.
And you haven't ever hijacked an airplane and blown up a building with it.
And yet you are the ones who are being targeted here while the care group claims that they are being profiled.
If anybody's being profiled, it's people who are not Muslim.
From grandmothers to babies to whoever, even if you carry in a Heisman trophy, you can't take it on an airplane now.
You gotta ship it, FedEx, UPS, whoever shipped it.
Every person who goes through an airport is considered a person who would do what none of them have done.
Now, how can that end up being fear?
It's like baby jail, baby formula never blew up an airplane yet.
And yet we're making sure that that stuff doesn't get on airplanes.
But the people who have done it, the people who have hijacked airplanes and blown them up or taken people hostage, somehow we're not afraid to notice that because that would be profiling, it would be racist.
The way I see it, because of the 9-11 circumstance and the people that we know were involved with that.
People are forever altered now from feeling safe getting on an airplane.
And it's quite natural when people getting on an airplane see the actions by these six imams and say, whoa, something's not right, we need to report.
You need to continue to report this kind of activity, you need to continue not to be intimidated by this.
Uh it is it is getting close now to pushing people to the tipping point, and now this care group is advising Muslims in America traveling to Mecca for the Hajj to basically claim profiling and discrimination before it's even happened.
But why do you think that might be?
Got any ideas?
At the very least, is an attempt to intimidate the people of this country into passivity and silence while the attempt to change our culture goes on all around us.
Back after this.
