That's great news.  People are finally starting to connect the dots.  And the same LIEberals who were critical of government not connecting the dots are now critical that government is connecting the dots.  The LIEeral shell game has been so exposed it is no longer funny how irrelevant they've become. Would the Arab equivalent of an octaroon be suspect? Harry (grandson of a full-blooded A-rab. A quadroon?)

That's great news.  People are finally starting to connect the dots.  And the same LIEberals who were critical of government not connecting the dots are now critical that government is connecting the dots.  The LIEeral shell game has been so exposed it is no longer funny how irrelevant they've become. Would the Arab equivalent of an octaroon be suspect? Harry (grandson of a full-blooded A-rab. A quadroon?) As a Hispanic I am often mistaken for Arab .  Sometimes I get singled out at the airport etc.  Doesn't bother me.  I have nothing to hide.  What are you hiding? So, we can take your response as a yes people with 1/8th Arab blood (octaroons) should be classified as Arab and considered under suspicion even though their parent/grandparents might have reached these shores at the turn of the last century. Republicans, this one is all yours.

As a Hispanic I am often mistaken for Arab .  Sometimes I get singled out at the airport etc.  Doesn't bother me.  I have nothing to hide. What are you hiding? Whether or not someone has something to 'hide' is not a relevant question or thread.  As long as the Constitution is in effect you, and I, have an absolute right to privacy in our person, possessions and papers. What do you have to hide? is also a violation of the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination. They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
