Surely that last date in your post should be 9/11/2001.

Of course, on 9/11/2008, the Bush Administration was actively working to loosen security on Arab airplane passengers...

Erm....

I doubt I am the first paranoid to e-mail on this. This policy is not about Arabs or Muslims. The targets of the expanded powers will be the real threat to America: Neo-Nazi militias and Anti-Semitic groups. Remember the terrorist attacks on the Synagogues? Timothy McVey? People with engage in non-state sponsored military training, like the Michagan militia?

Remember, every day is the day before the night of Kristallnacht.
Or August 31, 1939. Or Sept. 1938. Or the day in 1290 when the Jews were expelled from England or some other equally horrible day in history that can never be forgotten or forgiven.

Anonymous is 100% correct. These laws have nothing to do with Arabs and everything to do with white men. In 5 to 10 years, the "War on Terror" will become the "War on Hate." And guess what? White men don't have liberals to look out for them as the Arabs do. This is very important to understand.

No, anon is not correct. He's never worked in a bureaucracy, nor has Steve, so neither have a clue what bureaucracy is all about.

NOT GETTING FIRED.

You can only get fired for running afoul of the reigning ideology. Which is now PC-Multiculturalism. GWB did not fight (because he was lazy) with the Dems over PC and simply dare to impose by executive order profiling. Instead we got massive CAIR lawsuits, etc. the ACLU all over the place, Kerry, Kennedy, Boxer, Feinstein, etc. screaming murder.

Now, the bureaucracy has floated rules (which will NEVER be enforced) because they are SCARED OUT OF THEIR MINDS of another mass attack or series of attacks. Either a nuke or a series of gunmen and IEDs. "Hey, we tried, but you wouldn't let us" is a good excuse.

IT's prevention from GETTING FIRED.

Steve, how about some commentary on the attempted "norming" of left wing patriotism espoused this time by one David Greenberg at Slate.com:

'Waving the Flag: How the Republicans Claimed the "Patriotism" Mantle in Presidential Politics'

http://www.slate.com/id/2194695/entry/2194697/

During every single election we go through this ridiculous exercise of the attempted re-definition and re-shaping of patriotism in order to fit the liberal worldview.

There was a very telling videotape of an Obama speech from a couple months ago where he was asked about his idea of patriotism and, in response, Obama immediately launched into a global poverty rescue plan outline - but then he caught himself and tacked back to a national discussion. Too funny! How provincial are the politics of modern America that Obama would feel forced to contain his welfare plans to within the borders of the U.S.A.

By the way, Lawrence Auster is very good in his accounts of the 'hilarious dilemma of liberal patriotism'. Because that's exactly what liberal patriotism is: laugh out loud hilarious.

I wrote about patriotism the other day. You'd think that paleocons or racialists should like it, but under an evil regime like ours it becomes worse than useless. Our elites use the word to manipulate our natural tribalism but this "patriotism" ends up serving the interests of others.

I'll never forget the head-scratching experience of going through the security lines at various airports right after 8/11. I have a vaguely ethnic look, and was young enough looking so that my appearance should have excited suspicion among the security personnel. Yet I was never once singled out for special attention. Instead I saw, on more than a couple occasions, little old white ladies asked to step aside to be frisked and wanded. It didn't exactly make me feel safer. This sort of willful blindness is the perfect metaphor for the mindset which dominates our country these days.

Let's see, the rules now are;

1) it is a violation of the Equal Protection clause to use race as one factor in investigating or preventing crime, even though these actions will not result in any substantial harm to the individual unless evidence proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed a crime; but

2) it does not violate Equal Protection, and in fact is mandatory, to use race as a factor in, not just reviewing applications for college admissions, but in actually awarding these admissions, which are substantial benefits to the individuals.

So major benefits may be awarded due to race, but inquiries that themselves do no harm may not be influenced by race. That is the formal logic of today's political and legal culture.

This is not good news. As has already been said, this cannot be intended to be used on foreign terrorists; the national government has already demonstrated that it finds this sort of terrorist beneficial. otherwise, it wouldl have ceases importing them long before 9/11/01.

How many bureaucrats got fired as a result of 9/11/01?

They should take a page from your book and substitute family ties for race. Surely it wouldn't be that hard to show that generic Arab X at airport is 5th cousin twice-removed from terror suspect Y. Then one could technically avoid race and just focus on ancestry.

(1) The odds look pretty good that Obama will be the next President, with his wife Michelle being a very influential First Lady.

(2) Steve has written all sorts of really nasty things about Mr. and Mrs. Obama.

(3) Presumably, Steve's views are very much part of the "ideological profile" of all sorts of terrorists, KKKers, etc., or at least that's what groups like the SPLC keep claiming.

THEREFORE

(4): I really wonder who Barak Hussein Obama will decide to have "investigated" based on his profile...

Some of your posters are correct.

Remember Dr. Steven Hatfill?

It's my belief he was railroaded because he was white, and a had resided in Zimbabwe. http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A49717-2003Sep9?language=printer

Interesting to note he won his case against the brownshirts in the federal government, yet the real terrorists go scot-free. http://www.anthraxinvestigation.com/Hatfill-v-Kristof.html

The July 4th holiday "Independence Day" was originally intended to celebrate our freedom from imperialism. Now, it seems the right-wing almost universally considers this holiday a time to celebrate imperialism and savagely attack any American who does not support it. Kudos to Steve Sailer to avoiding this trend, even if virtually his entire audience is part of it.

I disagree. It's more than bureaucratic or Bush Jr. inertia. The Bush Admin. is affirmatively and actively afraid of insulting Sasudis travelling to the US.

Saudi A. -- The home country of many members of Al Q. in Itraq.

Our elites use the word to manipulate our natural tribalism but this "patriotism" ends up serving the interests of others.

So what's your opinion of patriotism in Israel?

One of your many "Anonymous" posters is wrong.

The attack on the El Al ticket counter at LAX a few years ago came via the hands of a Muslim.

As for 9/11 and racial profiling, American Airlines had an advertisement in the Dallas paper on the morning of 9/11 proudly announcing the appointment of a "Latina" as VP of Diversity. No, I am not making this up. Interested readers can go to the online archives of the News for that day, and confirm it for themselves.

The Republic is finished.
