Ok, I didn't want to have to make a thread about this, but...

You may not like it, but 100% of the guys who blew up the Murrah Federal
Building in Oklahoma City were White and Christian. So how come we aren't
insisting on checking the backgrounds of every white Christian that tries
to rent a U-Haul or buy fertilizer?

Is it not ironic that the FBI headquarters building in Washington, D.C. is
named after J. Edgar Hoover, one of the most un-American people ever to
be called an "American"?
