Dems Side With Terrorists

A group of Muslim imams filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against US Airways and unknown "John Doe" passengers. The imams were removed from US Airways Flight 300 on Nov. 20 after fellow passengers on the Minneapolis-to-Phoenix flight complained about the imams' suspicious behavior. This was seen by many as an attempt to dissuade citizens from reporting suspicious activity if they knew they could be sued.

In response, the House of Representatives passed an amendment to the Homeland Security bill that would protect citizens from liability when reporting suspicious activity.

However, the Democrats, in a Senate/House committee, failed to include this amendment into the bill.

"Democrats are trying to find any technical excuse to keep immunity out of the language of the bill to protect citizens, who in good faith, report suspicious activity to police or law enforcement," Rep. King(R) said. "I don't see how you can have a homeland security bill without protecting people who come forward to report suspicious activity."

“That language was put into this bill with broad bipartisan support making it clear that having Americans protected from silly lawsuits if they notice suspicious behavior and report it is just plain common sense," House Republican Leader John Boehner said. "And why would they remove that language and I think they are asking for serious trouble if the language is in fact taken out.”

Indeed. Why would the Democrats take out that language? It's simple - they cater to the left wing of their party which has it's own anti-American, pro-Muslim agenda.

The Democrats are still reprehensible.
