		<description>&lt;b&gt;Stacy said: Honey, you are a leftist.&lt;/b&gt;

I have only every registered as a Republican and have voted as such in every election I have participated in since I started voting.   

&lt;b&gt;Stacy said: I remember your first post at Greta’s. You stated “I’m a military wife who just happens to be a Liberal”.&lt;/b&gt;

I have never written that and would never write that.  This was my first post on Greta’s blog: Anti-War Protestors: No Solutions, Just Complaints
http://hooahwife.com/?m=200510&amp;paged=3

&lt;b&gt;Stacy said: I’ve watched you politely smear religion and mock individuals who practice it.&lt;/b&gt;

I have never done that either.

&lt;b&gt;Stacy said: I’ve watched your closed mind promote evolution and whenever you were challenged, you never for a moment considered that perhaps the other person might be right with their beliefs.&lt;/b&gt;

Evolution and religion are perfectly compatible.  That is the only thing I have ever promoted.   

&lt;b&gt;I’ve watched your closed mind promote evolution and whenever you were challenged, you never for a moment considered that perhaps the other person might be right with their beliefs.&lt;/b&gt;

I answered your question on a completely different topic in good faith with reasonable arguments and instead of answering my request for more specifics about the particular policy you are referring to you respond with a personal attack.  That’s unfortunate because I thought good points were being made on both sides.  If you’re interested I’m still open to further discussion.</description>

		<description>You know what&#039;s funny?  I remember your first post at Greta&#039;s.  You stated &quot;I&#039;m a military wife who just happens to be a Liberal&quot;.  And I thought &quot;Wow, this could really be enlightening.  I can&#039;t wait to hear how she functions in that world, I&#039;m sure it must be difficult and I bet she&#039;s struggles with her own party as well.&quot;  All you did was follow through on the Liberal part.  I&#039;ve watched you politely smear religion and mock individuals who practice it.  I&#039;ve watched your closed mind promote evolution and whenever you were challenged, you never for a moment considered that perhaps the other person might be right with their beliefs.  Have I ever thought that my belief in Creation was false and it indeed was evolution?  You bet.  But what have I lost because of it?  Time spent in church?  Time spent in prayer?  Time spent in developing morality and high character within myself and my children because my religion instructs me to?  Where is the harm in that?  If I turn out to be wrong, I have still gained.  Those around me have still gained.  If you&#039;re wrong, you spend eternity in Hell.  I like my odds.

I&#039;m bowing out of the conversation now.  Not because I&#039;ve given up, but rather because you cannot be reasoned with.  If it doesn&#039;t fall within your beliefs you reject it.  Just because you may not agree with something, it doesn&#039;t make it fiction.</description>

		<description>Honey, you are a leftist.  I have yet to read any post or comment from you that didn&#039;t march to the extreme lefts drumbeat.  When we come back from Mexico my husband is always questioned.  He&#039;s Apache Indian and looks as if could belong to a large number of ethnic groups.  Neither of us care, we want that, we want to feel comfortable.  Has he been profiled?  Discriminated against?  Probably.  But who cares?  He&#039;s done nothing wrong so there&#039;s nothing to worry about.

My hope for you is that one day you&#039;ll be able to think for yourself.  I used to be very right of center; approaching the edge.  But I was smart enough to recognize that there are legitimate points on the other side of the aisle.  You&#039;re a smart woman, don&#039;t be a pawn.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Trespass, and then you can own it...&lt;/strong&gt;

That&#039;s the lesson to take from the actions of a former District Judge, who has managed to make a couple&#039;s land worthless, while he and his lawyer wife tie up a good portion of the property in court....</description>

		<description>Stacy, please don’t call me a leftist.

You asked for my opinion on profiling.  I support it as long as it is based on effective criteria.  Just focusing on appearance produces a lot of false positives. And every time you introduce a false positive, you take resources away from your ability to focus on people who are really of interest – like those who are behaving suspiciously.  I think the fact that the Israelis use it speaks volumes.  

You still haven’t said what specific profiling policy you are referring to so I’m at a bit of a disadvantage.  If you mean to search every Arab-looking male or every Muslim male, then I think that would be very difficult to do just from looking at someone.  Under this system all dark-skinned people could potentially include Latinos, Italians, Greeks etc.  And all possible Muslims would have to include Africans and East Asians since that is where the majority of Muslims are</description>

		<description>Isolated, isolated, isolated.  The leftist talking points to a &quot;t&quot;.  Focusing on a minute incident and ignoring a real generalization.  Be my guest in stepping on that airplane, cuz I ain&#039;t gonna do it.

You are always pushing links on Teach, study this one.

For many years Christians have been martyred around the world, this is something ignored by the media.  I choose not to ignore the elephant in the room.  Your denial is dangerous to you and your family.</description>

		<description>Stacy, not all Muslims hate Americans.  You still haven’t described specifically what kind of a policy you mean.  Are you saying we should search all men who look like they are from the middle-east?  I wouldn’t support that kind of a program primarily because I don’t think it would be effective.  Security personnel would be focusing on appearance when they should be focusing on behavior.  This is what the Israelis do.  First they look for unusual behavior (someone acting nervous or sweating profusely on a cold day, etc.).  Then they engage the person in a targeted conversation to see if they should be elevated to a higher level of risk.  It was this kind of screening in 1986 that caught Anne-Marie Murphy, who initially raised interest among El Al&#039;s security staff because she was a pregnant woman traveling a long distance alone.  This was an Irish girl whose fiancé (unbeknownst to her) had planted a bomb in her suitcase.  She had already cleared three security checkpoints at London&#039;s Heathrow Airport.</description>
