I know what e-mail you are taking about. I definitely have to send this post to anybody who gives me that stupid chain letter again!

Plus, I do find the quiz striking to my own life.

A Jehovah's Witness came to my sister's porch a while back. My sister's two children have a Muslim father and they go to Mosque. The JW thought they were "Spanish" children. :D

Just goes to show ya.....

3. I guess it's one of those situations where
it is happening so often that they have lost sight of it. It's like looking for your glasses.

8. Go for it! That's why I posted it.
It's really a collaborative effort. 3-4 other DUers came up with most of those questions in previous threads about this racial profiling e-mail making the rounds. I just put them all together, and found some pics.

6. Convincing post.
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 05:23 AM by dutchdoctor
White Christians take the blame for a lot of sorrows in this world. You might add the Christians who killed abortion doctors and the latest addition Pat Robertson.
One error in your "quiz": IIRC, Timothy mcVeigh was a self-declared atheist. his last words were from the poem Invictus, ending with "I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul". I always took that as a sign he was an Atheist.

12. Okay, I'm done drooling
I couldn't help myself :P

I recovered enough to read your post, and I think it is excellent. I especially like how you slipped Garrison Keillor into the question - ever since they said 'breasts' on Prairie Home Companion, the RWers know who he is. :)

However, Dennis Rader was born March 9, 1945 making him a Pisces! :)

Terror From the Right

Almost 60 terrorist plots uncovered in the U.S.
By Andrew Blejwas, Anthony Griggs and Mark Potok

Ten years after the Oklahoma City bombing left 168 people dead, the guardians of American national security seem to have decided that the domestic radical right does not pose a substantial threat to U.S. citizens.

A draft internal document from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that was obtained this spring by The Congressional Quarterly lists the only serious domestic terrorist threats as radical animal rights and environmental groups like the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front. But for all the property damage they have wreaked, eco-radicals have killed no one — something that most definitely cannot be said of the white supremacists and others who people the American radical right.

In the 10 years since the April 19, 1995, bombing in Oklahoma City, in fact, the radical right has produced some 60 terrorist plots. These have included plans to bomb or burn government buildings, banks, refineries, utilities, clinics, synagogues, mosques, memorials and bridges; to assassinate police officers, judges, politicians, civil rights figures and others; to rob banks, armored cars and other criminals; and to amass illegal machine guns, missiles, explosives, and biological and chemical weapons. What follows is a list of key right-wing plots of the last 10 years.

22. Wow, this is great. Thanks so much!
I haven't seen the original e-mail yet, but I'm sure I will any day now. I've bookmarked this one.

Oh, and Gael Garcia? Scrummy!

23. Locked.
This is obviously meant in the same vein as the earlier thread mentioned in the original post. That was locked as inappropriate. This one is as well.

Thanks for your consideration.
