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.

Terrorism by any other name

I have been quiet since the attack last week at Fort Hood, TX. While I find our President to be naive and glaringly inexperienced on matters of Foreign Policy, I fully anticipated his denouncing this tragedy as the terrorist attack that it clearly was.

Our brave men and women in the armed services explained through the media why there is a reluctance on their part to report troubling and suspicious behavior. If they report this type of behavior it may lead to the reporting service member being labeled a racist. They may also find themselves on the wrong end of an EEOC violation.

After a presentation where medical team members were presenting on new medicines and treatments, the members reported Hasan for his presentation. He did not present on medicine & treatment. He reported how it was acceptable for Muslims to kill the infidels. Cut off their heads and pour hot oil down their necks.

Hasan also expressed concern for the US foreign policy, and felt Muslims were the target of two wars.Superiors at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, DC also expressed concern for Hasans bizarre behavior. All to no avail.

The authorities knew of his contacts with members of al Qaeda well in advance. Prior to shipping out, Hasan stood up in the Fort Hood Processing Center, yells at the top of his lungs "God is great", and opens fire upon his unarmed fellow soldiers.

This was not the act of a crazy person. This was the act of a Jihadist carrying out a terrorist attack on American soil.

America's liberal media and supporters have gone to great pains to downplay the act of terrorism, and tried to play it off as someone mentally ill. Terrorism by any other name is still terrorism. I believe the terrorist mindset is very limited within the Muslim community and does not represent the the beliefs of that community. It is a fringe element.

There are radicals within all religions, but not many fly planes into buildings or target innocents.

America's political left and their blind pursuit of political correctness led to this attack. This same liberal mindset clouds their ability to see what is staring them straight in their face.

The Muslim organization CAIR was an unnamed co-conspirator by the FBI in a case last year regarding raising funds for the Hamas terrorist organization. No charges filed.

An undercover investigation over the past year alleges this organizations intent to take over the US and impose Sharia Law in the US. They have already succeeded in getting Sharia Law implemented in Britain to be used in cases involving Muslims.

Can you imagine the US having dual court systems? One for Muslims and one for the rest of us.

This morning the liberals mindset became more obvious, and shown for the naive nature that it is. They announced that the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheik Muhammad, will be tried in US criminal court.

They have equated an organization that declared war on the US, with a group of thugs that robbed a convenience store! Liberals appear more concerned with the "feelings" of those who subscribe to this ideology than they are to the safety of American citizens.

I will repeat that these extremists represent a minuscule fraction of Islam. With that said, I believe we need to take off the leftish rose-tinted glasses and react when faced with overwhelming evidence and leave the political correctness behind.

Folks, if you see something that does not sound or look right report it! In the meantime, we can hope this administration wakes up to reality before anyone else gets hurt.

Recruiting Suicide Bombers To Attack U.S.

Joe Biden warned us a few weeks ago that Obama will be tested. His demonstrated naivety has been noted and exploited by those he sought to open Presidential level dialogue with. Stay alert in public venues. The article excerpt follows with a link to the full article.

Iranian group recruits young 'martyrs' to fight 'global arrogance'


A terrorist group is distributing flyers in Iran calling for young volunteers to join the Lebanese Hezbollah to carry out suicide operations against the "Global Arrogance" – also known as the United States.

The leaflets promise young recruits that they will join "fighters in the worldwide front against the Global Arrogance," the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI, reported. The term is used by some Iranian officials in reference to the U.S.

On Nov. 1, Tabnak, an Iranian news website identified with Expediency Discernment Council Secretary and former Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander Mohsen Rezai, announced a group has been actively recruiting members in Tehran and large Iranian provinces for Lebanon's Hezbollah. The flyers are labeled "Registration for Membership in the Lebanese Hezbollah " and "Registration for Martyrdom Operations." Each form requires addresses and additional information so recruits may be contacted for the cause.

Tabnak reports a Tehran phone number and address is located on the registration forms. However, the website reported "validity [of the address] could not be confirmed." Martyrdom registration forms reportedly include the name of an organization known to be active in the region, though Tabnak does not reveal its name.

On The Precipice Of Pakistans Overthrow

America's semi-reliable ally, Pakistan, is on the precipice of overthrow. The political climate there has ripened into a disaster in the making. Benazir Bhutto's husband is now in office, but only tenuously. They are having energy and food shortages. Al-Qaeda has taken control of two regions. The military command is dicey. Terrorists have longed for an opportunity to gain control of nuclear weapons, and may have found their mark. If the government there falls to radical Islamists, then the western world will be fighting for it's own survival. Pakistan has a nuclear arsenal.

This is the picture being outlined in a soon-to-be released U.S. Intelligence Assessment.

A U.S. official who participated in drafting the top secret National Intelligence Estimate said it portrays the situation in Pakistan as "very bad." Another official called the draft "very bleak," and said it describes Pakistan as being "on the edge."

The first official summarized the estimates conclusions about the state of Pakistan as: "no money, no energy, no government."

Six U.S. officials who helped draft or are aware of the document's findings confirmed them on the condition of anonymity because NIEs are top secret and are restricted to the president, senior officials and members of Congress. An NIE's conclusions reflect the consensus of all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies.

The NIE on Pakistan, along with others being prepared on Afghanistan and Iraq, will underpin a "strategic assessment" of the situation that Army Gen. David Petraeus, who's about to take command of all U.S. forces in the region, has requested. The aim of the assessment - seven years after the U.S. sent troops into Afghanistan - is to determine whether a U.S. presence in the region can be effective and if so what U.S. strategy should be.

"Can it get that bad in Pakistan? The Pakistanis themselves now say that two vital regions - Swat and the area around Peshawar - are already in al-Qaeda's hands. The whole government is rotten to the core so it won't take much to push it over.

Then what? Same thing that happened in Afghanistan. A coalition of conservative fundamentalist parties take over and we have the nightmare scenario come true.

I want to say I'm confident Obama would do something if worse came to worse, but we just don't know, do we?" - Rick Moran

This is not the same world we lived in prior to 9/11. These radicals hate everything about the western culture. They want to destroy it. A member of Hamas was quoted as saying about our negotiations:"There is nothing to negotiate. We do not want anything from you. We want to destroy you."

I see people in the middle east supporting Obama. I hope they do so out of respect for him. However, I believe that he is viewed as the weaker Presidential candidate, naive and inexperienced. He would be easier to walk over. He might also be more hesitant to react. The radicals know what to expect from McCain and it gives them pause. Not so, with a perceived weaker Obama.
