Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is under fire from newspapers and civil rights groups for suggesting that some Muslims in America should be put under surveillance in the name of security.
In a speech last week to the Heritage Foundation in Washington, Romney suggested that the government wiretap people connected to radical mosques and authorities keep a close eye on university students who come from countries known to sponsor terrorism.
Romney is refusing to apologize for the comments, saying "there is no place for political correctness" when it comes to national security.
But the Boston Globe is, unsurprisingly, leading the charge of those critical of the comments. The comments are "an affront to the values and principles that make America a great country," according to civil rights groups quoted by the Globe.
**end**
How the hell would a Boston newspaper know anything about values and principals?
Huzzah to this cat for sticking to his guns.
