…it’s the GOP that’s going to use the imams and their quirky little air-travel habits to get the bill killed.

As a libertarian conservative, it pains me to think that maybe legislation will be required to roll back this crippling PC one small piece at a time. And maybe legislation will be enabled only by our adversaries overplaying their hand.

Standing up to the flying imams…

Power Line has launched a campaign for standing up to the flying imams with a special logo (via Michelle Malkin). And the GOP has introduced special legislature to protect witnesses from being prosecuted…

As someone who lives in the state of Minnesota, I’d like to offer the Imam’s a peace of advice: Sit Down and Shut Up!

A commercial aircraft s not your personal property. It is owned by a corporation, in this case, and that corporation has the right to remove anyone from their property at any time for any reason. That’s called the Right of Ownership and the owners have the right to restrict access to their property.

A right of ownership is associated with property that establishes the good as being “one’s own thing” in relation to other individuals or groups, assuring the owner the right to dispense with the property in a manner he or she sees fit, whether to use or not use, exclude others from using, or to transfer ownership.

Don’t like that idea? Then start your own company and offer flights exclusively to Muslims. You can pray to Allah all you want and no one will bother you.

I STILL have trouble believing that this whole thing is happening. The world truly HAS gone mad, when terrorists can sue in the country they’re terrorizing.

I’m to fly to UK this coming Friday, if this were to happen on the plane I was boarding…you bet your a$$ I’d be complaining to authorities. And would demand they not be on my plane. Either they get off or I do.

I hate to sound so harsh, but I’m almost for making it illegal to “Fly while Muslim” in this country. If they (Muslims) can’t get ahold of their own communities, and condemn these violent a-holes, then the rest of us have the right to keep them off planes, to keep ourselves safe.

If I ever see a group of imams causing a ruckus at an airport by “praying” in a ticket line or at the departure gate I’m just gonna start singing Amazing Grace right next to them and invite others to join in. Hey, if they want to pray to the moon god of Arabia in such an innapropriate setting then, likewise, I’m free to worship God in song.

Be funny to see if this gets anywhere, and what democrats vote against it if it makes it to a vote.

If CAIR sues and wins, will I be able to walk onto a plane and say, “Hi, Jack!”?

Yeah, I don’t know how any sane person could watch the debates between Wilson and Madrid and not come across thinking Madrid was a complete idiot.

For a supposedly blue state,we sure have a lot of red-staters here :D

I watched the Wilson-Madrid race closely & broke out the good whiskey when Madrid finally conceded.

Proud to say that Steve Pearce is my Congressman.
Good reliable conservative, and a humble, nice and honorable man without the arrogance that most of his peers (on either side of the aisle) show after they have won re-elections by a pretty large margin.

The latest shinola about suing the passengers for reporting suspicious activity is just hot fudge on the sundae.

Count me dense, but I didn’t see that comming. Hope CAIR keeps chugging forward, I can finally see what you were talking about.
