Taking on Peter King

Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, began holding hearings Thursday on "the extent of the radicalization of the American Muslim" and quite frankly we here at TOR are disgusted with this type of 'for show' political action designed only to score cheap points in a politically charged society.    It's unclear exactly what he's hoping to accomplish but I can just see him parading a bunch of brown-skinned bearded dudes in front of some official governmental body to prove they are not associated with terrorism

I think we went through this once or twice before as a country.. the last time they just wanted to find out if you are now or have ever before been a communist and before that they were trying to find out if you were a witch.  

this entire concept of somebody having to prove that they are innocent goes against everything this country's judicial system stands for and it reeks of the Japanese embankment camps during WWII.   You also realize that this kind of intrusive behavior is exactly what people like Mubarak or Qaddafi made a career out of and having this occur on our shores done by our congress will only embolden the kinds of radicals this jackass is trying to uproot.     What's next for this guy:  calling out Italians to prove they are not connected, making sure every Irish guy doesn't have an IRA member in their cell-phone, calling priests to the appear in front of congress to have them prove they are not kiddie-touchers, calling out a bunch of Chinese people to make them prove they have no connection to factories making tainted dog-food or making sure that every dutch girl isn't secretly turning on a red-light at night.  My guess he won't go there because it won't make for good copy.. 

At some point I'm willing to take some risks as a country if it means not having to live in the kind of police-state Peter King envisions.

Why can't this guy spend more time with his player analysis?    He's never offers a risky prediction when it comes to his fantasy football analysis usually saying something as profound as "Chris Johnson should have a good week against a porous Texans defense this week'.    Maybe you should spend more time watching tape and less time trying to legislate allowed-bigotry
