JLH..... Nice post, quite an eye opener for a few of us, I'm sure. You know, we get so caught up in our respective political parties that we tend to lose sight of the "big" picture, and that's that we are all Human Beings, regardless of which God we chose to pray to, and that nobody should have to be subjected to discrimination, regardless of what their particular faith is..... Sadly, it seems that there is a fairly sizable faction of the population that feels that it IS ok to discriminate against people who are of a faith other than Christianity (in this case, Muslim). The fact that we are "at war" with people who happen to be Muslim does absolutely nothing to release us from the fact that IF we really are the "better" society, then we need to act like it, and this means NOT making cracks about the "Damn Towelheads", and the "sand N---ers". We live in a country where race, creed, and religion are supposed to have no bearing on how a man (or woman) is judged. I know that there are people out there who will say that we need to police the Muslim population for security reasons, and I would beg the question, Which would we be better off with, a society where we sacrifice freedom for security, or a society where we sacrifice security so that we can have freedom? We cant have it both ways..... I know my vote lies with freedom for EVERYONE, as that's what our founding fathers had in mind when they forged this country......... Konezone, This thread had nothing to do with Party lines, so chill out on the Obama conspiracy theory because nobody likes a Douchebag, and THAT sir is exactly what you sound like.
