It's sad to see the political and partisan stupidity affecting both ends of the American political spectrum, relative to defending against Islamic terrorism on home soil.
On the right you have the clowns who refuse to support a ban on the sale of firearms to people on federal law enforcement's terrorist watch/no fly list. "Oh, mercy, we might end up depriving an innocent of a gun..."
On the left you have the clowns who refuse to let federal law enforcement profile Muslims and pursue the investigation of Muslim suspects more aggressively than non-Muslims. "Oh, mercy, we might end up stopping and questioning an innocent..."
No system is perfect. But you have to be rational and place the odds in your favor.
As a guy who doesn't drink I don't enjoy being held up and/or tested on the highway during a DWI saturation. But I understand that the system is helping to save lives. I'm happy to do my part; to take on the sometimes necessary indignity of being assumed guilty until proven innocent.
This is bigger than politics, people. Let's pull our heads out of our asses on both sides of the aisle.
