When Maj Nidal Hasan walked into the Ft. Hood deployment center and killed 13 soldiers it came as no surprise to many who knew him. Fellow Army doctors complained about Hasan’s extremists rants. ABC News reports Hasan’s radical Islamo-fascist views were so blatant US intelligence agencies investigated him months ago. The media reports Hasan contacted two of the 9/11 hijackers. Major Hasan gave every warning imaginable he was an enemy sympathizer.
All of these warnings were ignored in the name of political correctness.Now, the bodies are buried and a nation mourns the dead. The media cannot bring itself to call Hasan a terrorist. On cue, the apologists blame America for the horrors at Ft. Hood. James Alan Fox, in this morning’s USA Today:
“But calling the Ft.Hood ambush an act of terrorism would only compound the tragedy by reinforcing the kind of intolerance toward American Muslims that appears to have contributed to Hasan’s despair.”
And statement came from Gen Casey following the attack:
"We have to be careful because we can't jump to conclusions now based on little snippets of information that come out. And frankly, I am worried -- not worried, but I'm concerned that this increased speculation could cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers. And I've asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that. It would be a shame -- as great a tragedy as this was, it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well."
Americans no longer speak truth. We make excuses for our enemies instead of confronting them. Can truth be found in America anymore, or has the poison of political correctness killed it off?
I direct your attention to the stoner comedy called “Squidbillies” appearing on Cartoon Network show Adult Swim. Okay, now that I’ve admitted I watch Adult Swim, please stop your snickering and read on.
Squidbillies is a show mocking a certain breed of southerners typically called “rednecks.” In lieu of humans, the show uses squids to make fun of the last ethnic group not protected by hate crime laws: white people. As a white male southerner, I find the show offensively hilarious and I’m not ashamed to say it. How did I get from the horrors of Ft. Hood to Squidbilles?
I’m not making light of the tragic events at Ft. Hood. This a serious commentary on the fatal stupidity of political correctness and how difficult it is to find the truth.
Watch this 10 minute episode of Squidbilles about an alien named Lerm Edwards. He comes to earth screaming “Death to America” and destroys everything in sight. He makes not secret of who he is or his radical agenda. Yet the squidbillies and the rest of America embraces him.
Substitute “Maj. Hasan” or “radical Muslim” for “Lerm” and watch this episode of Squidbillies.
Hasan, like Lerm, screamed his equivalent to “Death to America” right up to the point “he went that way.”
Kill political correctness before it kills us all.
