Political correctness has killed more than a dozen of our brave soldiers at Fort Hood. To be sure, a Muslim allegedly pulled the trigger, but it was political correctness that allowed him to do so.
Those in positions to do something to avert the tragedy knew about his attitude and beliefs long before he allegedly started shooting. They knew of the possible danger he posed. But they did nothing.
Why not? Because he was a Muslim. They were unwilling to call him out because he was a Muslim. Had he been a Baptist or Methodist, they would have acted.
But we dare not offend a Muslim these days, even though it is Muslims who have sworn to kill us all. It is considered improper to “profile” people who look like they might be Muslim, even if they are in line to board a passenger jet. Even if they are already on the plane and acting suspiciously, the American Civil Liberties Union will come to their aid if they are called out.
This is insanity. Political correctness is going to destroy this country if we don’t change our attitude.
