How's this: I define arbitrary, secret, everchanging rules and mysterious blacklists to be indecent. Depriving a baby of mother's milk is also indecent.

Really?
Try replacing the word "communist" with the word "terrorist" and "communism" with "terrorism" and let me know how it reads. Call me a crybaby if you will, but I see a lot of parallels.

In fact, I think the DHS/TSA has found roughly the same number of real terrorists as the number of real communists found by McCarthy. Keep up the good work checking those flip-flops for bombs!

Sounds familiar. We've had a Red Scare. In fifty years will we be calling this decade the "shoe scare" or the "liquid scare"?
