Juan Williams is an unrepentant liberal pundit who almost always gets it wrong on important issues. He alone has darn near worn out the “mute” on my remote control.
However, Williams actually got one right recently and, would’t you know it, his truth-telling cost him his gig at NPR, a decadent broadcasting network infested with liberal moon bats, all funded by far more conservative folk known as American taxpayers.
Williams’ offense was to speak an Inconvenient Truth while on the Bill O’Reilly show.
As reported at Reference 1, in part:
“Williams appeared Monday on The O'Reilly Factor, and host Bill O'Reilly asked him to comment on the idea that the U.S. is facing a dilemma with Muslims.
Williams responded: "Look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
For goodness sake, Juan Williams expressed exactly what every normal person thinks in the same situation!
Think about it: You are seated comfortably in your seat waiting for take-off on your flight to Honolulu for a well deserved two-week vacation.
Then two middle-eastern males in their 20s board the plane and head to the back of the plane. Soon, they are followed by two other young two middle-eastern males who also head to the rear of the plane,
All four speak Arabic and look quite serious.
Admit it, American patriot!
A “queasy” feeling permeates your being. Even the most ferocious PC brain-washing dished out by Progressives can not over come the fact that you are “worried and nervous,” at least somewhat.
Congratulations! Your reaction is perfectly normal and healthy! Your instincts are working as the Creator intended.
Are those four middle-eastern men likely to blow this plane, and your aloha fantasy, to a billion pieces?
Probably not. Still the queasy feeling is there and will persist until the memory of 9/11 is replaced by the image of moderate Muslims working to make the world a safer, healthier place.
In the meanwhile, do not beat yourself up for feeling “worried and nervous,” a reaction that even liberals experience and which some, like Juan Williams, actually admit to.
And to hell with NPR!
