How do you draw that angry conclusion from the article? Seems like you have a lot of issues with a religion that has matured to the point where disagreement is not resolved by decapitation. Glory halleljah to that.

If you don't see that man's predicament as a problem, well then, you may be part of the problem. That vet is being targeted because of religion.

I feel like there is more to the story, but also know that there are MANY people on that #$R@* list for no REAL reason and who can't get off it!

It's just more incompetence...fueled by irrational fear.

Did ya'll see the news story about the three people with the same name who are on "The List"; one is a pilot, another a 7 year old, who has been on the list since he was 5...his Mom has found ways around the list so that they can travel.

Amazing!

I had an odd feeling seeing them as a couple...something doesn't fit and her body language didn't seem truthful. Anyone else see that?

Yes, totally. These people are obviously hiding something- probably terrorists!
We need to leave them on the list to ensure this guy can't get a job!

The "problem" Bob is that you take a story which could be the result of less sinister (and more plausible) reasons and turn it into a hate filled tirade against Christians, Southerners and Republicans. I could care less about your religion, heritage or political affiliation, I'm just stating the obvious conclusion that you seem angry for reasons unrelated to the link. But hey, if it's therapeutic for you, carry on.

I'm certain Geo that you will be just as fervent in your scrutiny and criticism when this becomes Obama's list.

Bob's point (as I saw it anyway) was that apparently the ONLY reason this man and his wife are on the list is because their religion is Islamic.

Can you imagine the outrage if Islamic nations had a "list" of all the Christians and were restricting their travel?
