You want the world to be so black and white, politically correct that you can't see the difference between a guy expressing his own personal fears and a blanket condemnation. The fact is that everyone of us knows that if a suspect looking person wearing muslim clothing gets on a plane with us, the thought crosses our minds. You may not admit it but you know it is true. Doesn't make you a bigot or racist or anything of the sort. It simply makes you human.

Wow. Speak for your own mind.

I know and if your car broke down in the barrio or ghetto you would feel totally safe because evil conservatives only make up stereotypes about those kind of places and the people who live there.

If Riot was walking down a dark street at midnight, she would have the exact same reaction whether an 80 year old lady was approaching her or whether a young man in baggy pants was approaching her. Riot is a robot when it comes to that kind of stuff. Riot is far more evolved than any of us. Shame on all of you who would fear the young punk in baggy clothes more than the 80 year old lady. You are all bigots.

Senator Jim DeMint promises to introduce legislation to bar public funding of NPR. So, at least the taxpayer-fueled subsidizing of this left wing madness will cease.

Of course Mr. Soros is free to use as much of his own money to prop up NPR as he likes. I hope it works out for him as well as it did with Air America.

Doubtful that will happen. NPR is the third-largest radio station in the country, and has been supported over the past 30-40 years by far more people than currently want to politically grandstand about removing it's funding because an employee didn't adhere to his employment contract and was fired.

I would think the Libertarians would be all over NPR in support.

I would think Libertarians would demand the Government stop funding NPR all together or are the propaganda spewing radio stations different and more worthy than say the funding of education or social security?

The government funds less than 2% of NPR's budget. I would think Libertarians would stand up for the right of a corporation to determine it's own employees without government interference.

You would have more fear of the young man in baggy clothes than the old lady? Why? Are you a sexist? Are you prejudice against young people?

I still can't get over you admitting that you would be more fearful of the young man in baggy pants than the 80 year old lady. I guess that means that you are a sexist and are prejudice against young people. I used to think you were so tolerant. I'm very disappointed in you.

Still looking silly.

When you make stuff up and talk to yourself, do you listen?

Make up you mind. I first said that you have the same reaction whether you see an 80 year old lady or a young man in baggy pants. You denied it. Since you denied it I said that means you have a different reaction when you see an 80 year old lady compared to a young man in baggy pants. Now you're denying that too?

Which is it? Make up your mind. You can't have it both ways. You are worse than a politician.

I will give you another oppurtunity to clarify your position. It's a simple question. If you are walking down a dark street at midnight and you saw someone approaching you, would you be more frightened if it was a 20 year old guy in baggy pants or if it was an 80 year old lady?
