I don't blindly follow anyone, democrat or republican. We have checked FACTS that Valentine has given and we always find he is correct. Some of you that bring sex and other racist comments to hurt, belittle or try to make yourself feel smarter or whatever , make yourself look jealous, small, file mouthed and disrespectful. About 30 years ago I checked facts about Al Gore as I had supported him but seems like he was trying to come up with ( something) to get his name more popular. A couple of things didn't work, then he got on the band wagon with some radical enviromentalist and THAT worked. He read the MOST RADICAL writters on the enviroment ( nothing proven) and having the political opportunities he had, All the liberals fell for it . If you check out how much he was worth at that time and how much he is worth now , you can understand why he keeps coming up with his crazy ideas. Wake up people, he is the main investor in ( green )products. If it wasn't helping to bankrupt our country , it would be funny.We have the most corrupt government in my life time. I am 66 yrs. old and I have watched our country go down , because people have told voters , rich people are bad and should give to the poor. 5% of the wealthest pay 60% of the taxes. The GOVERNMENT -taxes and UNIONS are bankrupting us and are the very ones that have caused factories to move out of this country. We need smaller government, lower taxes , and we need to keep low gas prices. Obama wants to raise gas prices to $6.00 to $8.00 a gallon like it is in Europe. This is a FACT. Is this what you want, if not , you better get on the phone and start sending emails to your representives.I hope you will stop following a person or party and read study , check out what you hear from politicans.

What a maroon. Either PV is the most gullible man in talk radio or just being intellectually dishonest. Either way, he lost a major amount of credibility with me after that statement. Of course, isn't he also the guy who believes Obama has a plan for "population control" — makes you wonder whether that's his gray hair or his tin-foil hat. Also makes you wonder why he's wearing the shades. Could the eyes be a little bloodshot? ... Hmmm. Phil believes Al Gore said he created the Internet? What a maroon.

Racial profiling, in my mind, is kind of the same category as torturing terror suspects -- it's not about making people feel uncomfortable; it's about not allowing our fears to debase our society. I haven't really formed an opinion on manadating the purchase of HC. I can see both sides, Cheers.

I think he does believe it. To me, it's the same category as the torture debate -- it's not about making somebody "uncomfortable," but about not wanting to debase ourselves in order to keep ourselves safe. When we racially profile, we hurt ourselves as a society. I'll discuss mandated health insurance, but can't debate it b/c I really can see both sides of it and haven't solidified an opinion one way or another. I've read that most experts think it will pass muster in the SCOTUS. But who knows? It's one of the few things I worry about with the HC plan -- that, and the fact the public option needs tightening.

I think racial profiling is wrong. I don't believe Phil really thinks profiling is the way to go, but neither is being politically correct to keep from making a terrorist uncomfortable. The constitutionality of mandating the purchase of something isn't up for debate, is it? That power (over purchase or denial) isn't specifically granted by the constitution (law of the land), and therefore it is not constitutional. Dean, I agree.. I think racial profiling is wrong.

Look at the 14th Amendment: "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Racial profiling is the 21st-century version of Jim Crow. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. Ryan:

I'm glad I get at least one laugh per day from this place. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm glad we live in a country that lets even you looney people express your views.

Some long lines, but what the hey... Define Jihadist-looking. Shirttail in or out? Tie or no tie? Tennis shoes? Jeans or khakis? Shaven or unshaven? Hell, if I do enough air travel, I might look Jihadist. Or if your plane gets delayed two hours and you miss your connection, you might look Jihadist. Actually, it sounds like you just want to search Muslims, regardless of whether they're born in this country. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Muhammad Ali? Yeah, let's hold 'em. Timothy McVeigh? Ah, he looks all right. Not only is racial profiling ineffective, but it detracts from real issues about how to make this country safer. It's also unconstitutional, is basically a legalized version of Jim Crow laws, and serves only to divide this country even more along racial and ethic lines. Other than that...
