Profiles Work
Most everyone can understand the negative impact and consequences of racial profiling. For example, if the police respond to a home robbery that was not witnessed, and react by only stopping vehicles in the area driven by minorities, that would be prejudicial and counterproductive racial profiling.
However, if neighbors witness the thieves and give the police a description of the culprits, it is not racial profiling if the police only stop vehicles whose occupants match the eye witness accounts. Or, if the police have a description of a thief spotted in earlier burglaries in the neighborhood, it is not racial profiling for them to concentrate on people with like characteristics.
In fact, any police officer who ignores the description of a thief in his or her search should be fired for dereliction of duty, or more precisely, for stupidity. But that is not the way the system works. Law enforcement and the application of common sense have been divorced to appease the sensibilities of the Far Left.
The security of the nation is held hostage by the advocates of Political Correctness. The inane enforcement of political correctness ignores the evidence and gives criminals the extra consideration granted protected species. The rights and safety and convenience of the general public become secondary to the safeguards granted certain groups, nationalities and those with specific religious affiliations.
Such government mandates are expensive, wasteful and require the suspension of common sense. Of course, this explains why Congress is held in such low esteem. They live to displace common sense by enacting regulations which criminalize it.
A farmer who discovers his chicken coop has been raided, after seeing a fox hightailing it across a field with a hen in its mouth, would not be inclined to suspect the dastardly deed was committed by the cows, horses, pigs and sheep in his farmyard.
However, if he had temporarily worked for Homeland Security, he would check all their mouths for traces of feathers. If he was a cop from a sanctuary city, he would only check the other livestock on the farm, including the hens that survived the attack.
Of course, these government trained farmers would all pretend that the dozens of similar attacks were random and unrelated to the growing fox population. Welcome to the world of airport security.
There is nothing in the world that makes one feel more secure at an airport than watching a TSA agent confiscate grandma's shampoo. And your heart swells with national pride when one of these scrupulous agents inspects the feet of a business man, whose wingtip shoes rest in a plastic bucket.
Everyone knows the process is a sham. The procedure was instituted to implement security without offending the real suspects. So to provide airport security and appease the sensibilities of the Far Left, hundreds of millions of Americans suffer intolerable lines which waste time and resources.
The Terrorists are the bad guys. It's time to be pragmatic and concentrate our resources on those who fit the profile of the Islamic Jihadist Terrorists. They are Muslims.
Here's a hint for the Democrats. No Islamic Jihadist Terrorist caught on the field of battle, or responsible for the attacks on America, was an Irish Catholic grandmother.
