New idiotic term enters our world

There was a disturbing headline at CBS one day ago that said:
Pentagon scare suspect found with terror phrases
Indeed. Something tells me CBS didn't make up this term. Could it be that our government has released a new meme to its obedient media? "Terror phrases," eh? And what were these scary terror phrases? They found a notebook in the man's car in which the following appeared:
"al Qaeda," "Taliban rules" and "Mujahid defeated croatian forces."
Frightening, eh? So a fellow who did absolutely nothing wrong chose to write these words in his personal notebook -- and it turned into a headline about "terror phrases"? This is a new, insane category of anti-Muslim fervor and undoubtedly our growing police state is paying close attention to this development. I'm sure they're ferreting through people's possessions right now, looking for horrific "terror phrases".

So now you can't write certain words or they'll cart you off to a prison cell. I'm not saying I hear the jackboots all around us but I think I smell boot polish. This is how things happen in our country -- haphazardly, and always aided by the media.

It's going to be a really swell 4th of July this year. Let freedom ring!
