Burns says terrorists drive taxis by day
Republican Sen. Conrad Burns, whose recent comments have stirred controversy, says the United States is up against a faceless enemy of terrorists who “drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night.”
I’m getting sick and tired of liberals excoriating an honest politician for doing nothing more than speaking an unpopular truth. Everyone knows that taxi drivers are statistically the most likely to murder after sunset. But God forbid someone actually mentions that fact in a public forum.
I mean, really, what’s next? Are we going to start criticizing our politicians every time they point out the well-known fact that blacks are better athletes because their were bred to pull plows, or that Jews control the world money supply from an underground bunker on Long Island?
Do we sound the alarm whenever a Republican makes passing reference to women’s well-documented intellectual inferiority? We all have mothers, wives, and sisters. We’ve all seen firsthand women’s diminished mental capacity. My wife can’t even lick a stamp without an instruction book and a 6-week correspondence course.
Jews eat babies. Black men render white women’s vaginas useless with their massive genitals. American Indians scalp white people with tomahawks and steal their booze. These are the facts. So why should we get bent out of shape when one of our elected representatives points it out in a nationally televised speech?
The campaign said Thursday that the senator was simply pointing out terrorists can be anywhere.
“The point is there are terrorists that live amongst us. Not only here, but in Britain and the entire world,” said spokesman Jason Klindt. “Whether they are taxi drivers or investment bankers, the fact remains that this is a new type of enemy.”
It’s really a question of clarity. If he had said we’re up against a faceless enemy of terrorists who “provide strategic advisory services for corporate mergers and acquisitions in the daytime and kill at night,” it just wouldn’t have had the same ring to it.
People would have been confused. They’d be thinking, “Wait a minute. Does this mean that Christian Witherspoon from the Churchill Club might be a terrorist?” Obviously, that’s not what the good Senator was trying to communicate.

By specifying that the faceless enemy drives taxi cabs, he is clearly distinguishing that he is talking about brown people. Usually with turbans and funny sounding names who smell like curry.
The taxi cab reference also helps us make the important distinction between terrorists and another dangerous breed of murderers who kill at night: vampires.
Vampires don’t drive taxis. Terrorists do. This important distinction allows us to focus our efforts on defeating the real terrorists instead of wasting time fighting an unwinnable war against an army of the undead.
Without Senator Burns’ insightful comment, we could find ourselves trying to drive a wooden stake through bin Laden’s heart, while 10,000 elite troops are sent to ferret Dracula out of a cave in Tora Bora.
