Yup, racial profiling would have caught Timothy McVeigh and the
Unabomber. If you want to use terrorist profiling, fine, but
concentrate

Great example of that slippery slope...


I'd start with the teabaggers.

On the other hand, and on another but connected subject, I'm not sure it
would be a bad idea to shut down immigration to this country entirely
until actual unemployment drops below 5%.
