… back off, racist xenophobes. None of your profiling can or will be tolerated.
So. If you’ve been wondering why the Boston Marathon bombing wasn’t stopped by the collection of meta-data, I have a theory: to stop Islamic terrorists, you monitor where they gather.
Bracketing out the primary factor in Islamist terrorism — namely, Islamists and their jihad factories — seems, well, rather short-sighted as a security measure aimed at stopping Islamist terrorism.
And since I have no worry of being fired from my NPR gig, I’m going to echo the spirit of the otherwise moronic Juan Williams here and note that I don’t much want to die for the left’s totalitarian use of political correctness. Facts aren’t racist. Even when progressives try to make them so, and even when terrified “conservatives” rush to show that they hold no brief with such racism disguised as fact.
Many soldiers, at Ft Hood and on the battlefield, have already made that sacrifice. Each one, in my estimation, a murder in which the left and its thought police — who have increasingly forced into law punishments for non-governmentally-sanctioned speech — are complicit if not outright accomplices.
Yeah, that’s right. I’m calling you murderers too cowardly to pull the trigger on your own, you Gramsciites and Saidists.
Deal with it. Embrace your (now outer) fascist.
Spit.

I caught a bit of an interview with Andrew McCarthy in which he was pointedly speaking to the intentional avoidance of identifying the jihadist enemy (a subject on which McCarthy has been repeatedly excellent and thoroughgoing), and yet -=- how strange! -=- even McCarthy could only bring himself to speak of “ideology” and not religion! But stop. It’s religion. For fuck’s sake.
Leftism is a religion … and it ignores/protects/apologizes for Islamism because the greatest threat to Leftism is Americanism. “The enemy of my enemy”
It’s the Stalin/Hitler alliance.
It will be fun when only the lefties and the Jihadists are left standing. Wont last long but, it will be fun.
Does this mean the revolution will be planned in a mosque or a madrassah?
I’m thinking Sons of the Prophets of Liberty Mosque and Madrassah (reformed). Any way that remains in the shadows?
Slowly, but steadily, questions about the cost to benefit of NSA programs and systems begin to bubble to the surface. We can anticipate a significant there there. Certainly all the more significant in an environment where the enemy can’t be identified by name and intention, where willful blindness is imposed to call defeat victory and victory defeat.
The Left has no problems whatsoever naming the enemy.
Islamists are just underprivileged yutes in need of an international midnight basketball league
and the annihilation of Israel.
There is no coherent argument for the wholesale gathering of information on US citizens.
Presumably, it is to keep us safe from Terrorists. Therefore, all citizens must have all their communications, tax documents, et al monitored at all times by federal agents.
Terrorist(s) still managed to: shoot up Ft. Hood while screaming “Ally ally ackbar free!”, almost bomb Times Square but for a sharp-eyed street vendor, managed to bomb the Boston Marathon and shut down an entire American city and put it under marshal law that Hitler would have been proud of only to have the surviving bomber be found by a sharp-eyed citizen who stepped outside for a smoke.
I’ll go out on a limb and say that the citizenry at large doesn’t need to be profiled. The mosques and terror cells need to be profiled, shut down and deported.
heh
That’s one crazy theory you’ve got there, Jeff. Please stop introducing logic into the conversation here.
I wonder how well going after the Mob would work if you avoided profiling Italians and Italian Americans.
restaurants with checkered tablecloths and bocci ball courts are off limits!
COHERENTIST!
Caught out again. Damn.
Come on gang…this just has to be some dis-information to let them think they can plot freely in their places of peace worship, just as all those memos coming out of DHS and other govt. agencies about veterans and TEA party folks being the real threats to the republic… were.
Where’s Jay-Jay Carney been lately? Is he sick?
Suspecting Islamists of terrorism is just suppressed racism against persons of color. Even if demonstrably true that an act of terrorism was commited by an Islamist, as was the case in the Ft. Hood killings, it doesn’t excuse the racist impulses of believing true things.
After all, the Berenstein Bears are racist, misogynistic, heteronormative haters. All those children’s stories about being nice to your siblings were just a thin patina over layers of oppression from the urso/phallo-centric philosophy.
I seem to have left a broken link in the last comment. It should go here.

Whoa, Hadlowe. Here I thought I had scarred my children by reading Grimm’s Fairy tales and Aesop’s Fables to them when they were small. Lord knows the damage done by Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and her upside down house.
Oh fer crying out loud – now we shouldn’t have animals in children’s stories? I think it’s Ms Timmerman who has issues with cultural and ethnic bias if she’s seeing all this racism in books like “Goodnight Moon” and the Berenstein Bears.
That story was written in 2006, Libby. It just shows the end-point that ‘educators’ will go to when trying to stir up trouble and end the world as we know it.
Heather has two mommies, you know.
Exactly, Leigh. Would love to know what “Educational Studies”is, because Ms. Timmerman sure makes it sound like every other bullsh*t “- Studies” degree. Seems like all of the doers of the world are being replaced with useless critics.
Misspelled, is what it is. Should be Idiocational Studies.
Of course anthropomorphized animals in cartoon form are EVIL with all that heteronormative, nuclear family stuff … not one mention of Benevolent State in Berenstein Bears
Who do they think they are!
Bet the icky families abusing their kids with B Bears also force feed them raaaaacist PP&J sandwiches, too.
Berenstein huh, probably Zionists as well.
Re: Exempting mosques – Good thing no one of importance has endorsed this sentiment, eh?
“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers… ” – poem recited by Reccep Tiyyap Erdogan
And not too many mosques have been found to contain weapons caches, so move along, nothing to see here…
The more they keep this up, the more people will complain. That’s how they will identify all the malcontents.
It’s the circle of tyranny.
As far as animals in children’s stories are concerned, I imagine Oog told his children stories like that. It’s as old as language.
Of course, they have changed a lot of classics. I remember the story of the hen who did all the work to make the bread, asking for help all along the way, and no one helped, so she didn’t share it. That story has been changed now so that she shares it anyway.
Effing commies.
To square the circle, so to speak, it would be sort of neat if the bluenoses in professional feminist academia started looking for phallocentrism in Islam.
I mean, the architecture alone is sort of begging for it.
<i.Berenstein huh, probably Zionists as well.
No doubt. Mrs. Berenstein is always cooking and cleaning, too. Obviously, they are Hassidic with the rigid gender roles.

Oh, there is so much feminists could get their dander up about how the religion of peace views and treats women it’s mind-boggling. Instead, feminists like Naomi Wolf decide to write complimentary pieces about burkas. Last I heard Wolf had accepted a job offer from Al Jazeera America.
Let’s hope she heads off to the ME to do some research.
I’m sure Wolf’s employers are eager to discuss her book “Vagina: A Biography.” Useful idiot.
Also, fwiw, the article is 2013. Those wacky Canadians used a weird format to post their dates. 2013/06/06, shortened to 13/06/06.

Because REAL bears are single mothers who fight like hell to protect their cubs…
…against male bears who will kill cubs not their own to provoke ovulation in the mother, thus to propagate his own line at the expense of his rivals.
You’re right: it’s racist
Bears would NEVER do that!! They are better than we are!
You take that back!

You’ll know that the government is getting serious about terrorism when mosques start being referenced as “Islamic Compounds.”
That would be never, then.
“Bracketing out the primary factor in Islamist terrorism — namely, Islamists and their jihad factories — seems, well, rather short-sighted as a security measure aimed at stopping Islamist terrorism.”
Your missing the point Jeff,
By tracking everyone else, they simply use the process of elimination; e.g. we are all over here doing our thing so they must be over there doing theirs. Brilliant when you think about it.
“…against male bears who will kill cubs not their own to provoke ovulation in the mother, thus to propagate his own line at the expense of his rivals.”
Isn’t that panthera leo behavior?
What I remember regarding male ursidae behavior is that they will pretty much kill and eat any cubs, period.
If it looks like a Muslim, protects Muslims, protects Mosques, protects Korans, then it must be Barack Milhous Obama.
Who is looking awfully Islamic himself…
“Saidists” is just fantastic as a double entendre, Jeff.
[…] General warrants to collect data on most Americans? Just fine. But when it comes to mosques… | pro…. “Bracketing out the primary factor in Islamist terrorism — namely, Islamists and their jihad factories — seems, well, rather short-sighted as a security measure aimed at stopping Islamist terrorism.” […]

“If we can save just one Islamist, we are morally obligated to do so…”
Or
“It takes a village… ‘ cue: boom, screams of agony’ to save one devotee of the religion of peace from discrimination…”
There are many similarities between the left and Islam.
It has a chunk of relatively inactive moderates that nevertheless support the radicals and joins in the group rhetoric.
It considers anything outside itself to be intolerable – all else must eventually be converted or destroyed (jihad vs. international socialism). It has a utopian vision that is frustrated by the mere existence of opposing ideas.
It considers the outsider to be inhuman and therefore not worthy of discussion or debate. The kuffar / right are dehumanized and their arguments ignored to the extent that the believer seems laughably ignorant of the details.
It addresses all areas of life and wishes control over them (the personal is political, speech codes, etc). It conflates the moral and the political.
It is essentially collectivist and demands conformity.
Frankly, the only thing keeping them apart are details of which groups and ideas are “in” and which are “out,” I suspect eventually they will merge (like they have repeatedly done in terms of terror cells – though it seems less so now that the Soviets have morphed into smugglers and college professors and the Chicago elite).
On the other hand if your Church isn’t a mosque then…
