The High Cost of Political Correctness & Naivety

It has been a short period of time since a homegrown terrorist made repeated threats against the US and was ignored by our government.

He killed 13 unarmed Americans waiting to ship out to Afghanistan and wounded 30+ others.

He sent up enough red flags before going on his jihadi rampage to alert those interested in fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities of protecting our homeland and citizens from harm.

How did Nadal's plan go uninterrupted.

He spoke of his convictions and thoughts on the subject. He made no secret of his feelings.

Regardless of the 800# Gorilla in the room, the liberals still refuse to call Ft. Hood massacre a terrorist act.

Why?

Political correctness.

Our current President & administration is so naively concerned with not hurting the radical Muslims feelings that they allow these things as result of their naive commitment to political correctness.

Early in the administration the White House adopted the policy of not referring to terrorists as terrorists. Such a term was deemed 'mean spirited'.

No longer would there be mention of a War on Terror.

The Obama administration has taken the position that these terrorists just need a hug.

They are too politically correct to acknowledge that the radicals plans call for the murder or conversion of all who fail to embrace Islam. These radicals believe they are acting on divine inspiration from Allah.

The administration naively believes they can negotiate a "peace for our time" with these nut cases. Similar to Chamberlain's naive assessment of Nazi Germany.

In doing so, they ignore the inconvenient fact these radicals are not interested in 'negotiating'. Nobody is going to negotiate with them when they believe they are acting on the commands of Allah. How do we negotiate with that?

How do we negotiate with someone willing to be a suicide bomber against innocent peoples?

These folks openly call for Islam to dominate the world. They do not intend to stop short of their stated goal.

They are poised to become the majority population of Europe by 2050. Why? Because Europeans have capitulated to these extremists views and taken the approach of political correctness.

They ignore the radicalization of their youth that is taking place on their own soil. This is similar to the ignoring of training camps these radicals are operating here in the US and elsewhere around the world.

Radical Muslims have even won the "right" to have a Sharia Law court system that operates parallel to the English courts.

One set of laws for the Muslims in England and another for all other religious & nonreligious groups there.

That my friends is cowardice.

Three days ago a young Nigerian man attempted to celebrate Christmas by blowing himself and 200+ people out of the sky while his flight approached Detroit Airport.

Britain had this young man on their "no-fly" list and revoked his passport.

His own father warned US officials about him two months ago. Explained Clarke, "The kind of person, who's being radicalized increasingly in the U.S. and in Europe, are people who are sons of the middle class, the upper middle class, sons of well educated families, people who have radicalized at long distance over the Internet."

Did the administration put him on a 'no-fly' list?

No.

DHS Secretary, Janet Napolitano said he acted alone.

This is contrary to what we are learning about him.

According to this young wannabe terrorist, there will be more bombers coming behind him.

Britain is reporting that as many as 25 more young radical men are in Yemen training to bring down airliners. They all have the same al Qaeda ties as him, same Imams as him, same sentiments as him, but alas..............he acted alone.

Folks did you hear the prime time speech that our President gave in addressing this act of terror? The one where he gave as much effort as he did during his myriad of health care speeches?

Of course not. It is difficult to keep the teleprompter upright when placed in the warm sands of Hawaii's beaches.

Friends, I for one choose life, and the embrace of freedom over foolish state sponsored political correctness.

Things to consider in the elections of 2010 & 2012.
