Does This Look Like A Terrorist?

by admin on May 11, 2010

Dan Fanelli asks, “Does this look like a terrorist?”

Lt. Commander Dan Fanelli is a former Navy and commercial pilot who has thrown his hat into the political ring in Florinda. Fanelli is currently running in the GOP primary. If he wins the nomination he will then be up against the Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson for his Florida Congressional seat. This may not seem like big news, but Fanelli’s ads, which have not yet but aired on TV, are making a big splash. Unfortunately, due to copyright issues we could not post a direct link to his commercials, but check out the videos he has at his website and you can see a few controversial clips.

Is Fanelli purposing we use … RACIAL PROFILING!? Many people think that is exactly what he is saying, but Dan claims that is not the case. In an interview with Roger Hedgecock, he explained that the government needs to be looking at behavior more closely and not focus so much on this blank sweep mentality. So, his idea may be better described as “Behavior Profiling”. Is this illegal? Is this immoral? There is at least one thing everyone can agree on. The current system is not working.

Faisal Shahzad, more commonly known as the suspect in the attempted Time Square bombing, was arrested on a Dubai-bound plane right before take off. We now know Shazad was on the “no fly” list, he paid for his ticket in cash, he was only flying one way, and he had no luggage. I don’t care what color your skin is. That certainly fits a behavior profile of a terrorist in my opinion. Anyone that can not admit that a person fitting that pattern of behavior needs a secondary screen is delusional. Another question I have is why do we have a “no fly” list if people on that list can still fly? The Obama administration blamed the airline for not checking on the updates for the “no fly” list. Do airlines have to check each name manually? That can not be how it works. If that is how it works, then it needs to be setup so people are checked automatically?

So, racial profiling is defiantly wrong, but if the system is not designed to look at the totality of the circumstances under which people are traveling then its piratically useless. We should not be missing the guy who paid for his ticket in cash, with a one way ticket he bought with cash because we are too busy doing a full body scan on the 89 year old grand mother that bought a round trip ticket to Wyoming to visit her grandkids.

Arizona Residents Have Had Their Rights Violated for Years

by admin on April 28, 2010

The good people of Arizona have had their rights violated for several years, but not how the liberal media may have you think.

“The people in Southern Arizona have had their rights violated by the unending, and constant flow of drug smugglers and human traffickers across their property.”

-Senator John McCain

Senator Harry Reid also appears to have put the immigration bill that he was fighting so hard for on the bottom of the list when telling reporters, “I don’t have an immigration bill…” because has placed an energy bill ahead of his own immigration reform campaign. It comes as no surprise to Screeching Tires that Reid has flip flopped priorities, after all Reid completely ignored voters when he passed the health care bill in the past. Despite Reids incompetence, the most surprising of all this is the fact that Arizona’s own representative Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz) is encouraging a boycott on his own state.

Referring to the new immigration reform law Grijalva stated “There has to be an economic sanction for this…” Well excuse us representative Grijalva but didn’t the immigration law have “a 70 percent approval in Arizona…”? Last time we checked you were voted in by the people of Arizona to represent their agenda not your own, of course given the democrat’s recent track record we fully expect the current democrats will ignore anything the people want anyway.

While liberal media tends to show the outrage of the less than 40% of actual voters who may oppose the bill they fail to recognize that the rights of people of Arizona are the only rights that are currently being violated. If illegal immigration is not really illegal than there is no reason why we should be wasting money on border patrols to begin with, yet liberal activists have consistently said that it if they were in the Arizona Governor’s spot they would have negotiated with the federal government to enact better laws. What democrats fail to recognize is that if the federal government fails to act, which it has done for years, than the citizens of Arizona have a right and an obligation to protect themselves and their civil liberties, which is exactly what they did when passing this bill.
