Matt Saving Freedom

The old white men of America are a patient lot. Yes, we knew that black men in New York were being stopped on the sidewalk and frisked for no reason.  That was public policy. We were patient. When Latinas shopped in the mall, security followed them from store to store but only to keep them from stealing things. We put up with it. If people who looked like Arabs were hauled off of commercial airline flights, well, you have to be careful. I just want to say that today, with the government keeping a log of the phone calls made by old white men like me, that's an outrage. Has our government gone mad? Matt Damon spoke for all of us old white guys when he said of the President, "He broke up with me." That's telling him, Matt. And, of course, thanks for saving freedom in your movies.
