Now! I pick on John McCain because he’s running for president. Don’t view this as an exercise in un-american-ness (the week of the 4th…) we salute YOU, sir, we salute YOU!

Federalies can stay off my doorstep, thnxmch. But let’s take a closer look at how we define ‘the enemy’ and how we celebrate those who ‘defend’ ‘us’ against ‘them’. Here’s the brutal truth: 2 in 10 people living in the Snited States are terrorists and half don’t even know their status–(according to a convenient sample…okay…i referenced myself)!

Here are a few telltale signs YOU could be a terrorist:

• ·      You thought the Dalai Lama was a good person.
• ·      You considered Nelson Mandela a hero 24 hours ago. 
• ·      You remotely* resemble Sean Bell or Amadou Diallo. (*are within a 2-ft range of their height; within or beyond their complexion gradation; below or over 200lbs; own any article of clothing of the same fabric/style/color…) 
• ·      You live near a levee, toxic waste center, or playground with chipped paint.
• ·      There are checkpoints in your neighborhood, but 911 kinda takes a while in case of emergency…hope you got a Plan B!!
• ·      Speaking of Plan B–you know, have had, or expect to have an underweight child and only your local convenience store has baby formula…if you have one.
• ·      You’ve noticed a hike in your property tax–and is there a Starbucks coming to your town?
• ·      You have an “accent.”
• You admire Baron Davis. Rick Ross. G. Garvin. Or maybe you just don’t prefer to shave it off right away…
• ·      You wrap your head for reasons of faith/style/bad hair day.

If you agreed to one or more of these statements, you could be a terrorist. SUCKS TO BE YOU!! (and me??)

Who’s left to be ‘us’ ?
