Finally, an eloquent conservative willing to speak his mind:

Yep. You read right. FINALLY, someone defends the practice of racial profiling:

I give the man top marks, btw the prose is amazing. hes a great writer too

Everybody uses racial profiling, it's part of the way the human brain works. But it has some severe limitations, and we should always remain aware of them.

I enjoy the National Review also. My favorite quote from that article:


If you want to cherish a group identity, you ought to be ready to shoulder the cross that comes with it.

Nice article. If you like that, you should check out Alan Keyes sometime. He is a very eloquent Afican American speaker.

Our brain does work through classification. This does not make it right, however.

I remember as a young man hiking in Glacier National Park. I decided to try hiking some of the trails on the Canadian side. Just some short day hikes. The Canadian border guards, however, profiled me as a young man coming across the border to raise some cain. They grilled me, searched my car, asked me what my real business was, etc. It was a thoroughly humiliating experience and even though they eventually let me through I turned around immediately and went back to the US side. All because I was young!

Not something I think we should pursue as an official policy. Don't think that we can buy safety by giving up our individual freedoms. That will just make us less free.
