Even as America comes to the grips with the terrorist attack that took place at Fort Hood, it seem that Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s unindicted co-conspirator, “political correctness,” has yet again claimed the lives of innocent Americans.
It seems that Hasan’s Superiors were well aware of his fascination with radical Islam as junior officers grew more concerned with his attitude and radical ramblings, yet rather than confront or investigate Major Hasan, his superior at Walter Reed took the political correct or chicken-shit way out and simply transferred this disgruntled officer to another command to be someone else’s problem.
Those superiors, who simply washed their hands of Hasan rather than investigate him, are just as guilty as Hasan himself. However this is not the first and will not be the last time that political correctness will claim the lives of Americans.
You see, according to those, who believe in political correctness, Americans no matter what our color or gender are guilty of something and any investigation into Hasan would have been dismissed as our government going after another innocent Muslim American, no matter the evidence to show otherwise or a possible real threat. In the mindset of these people our behavior has to be corrected and enlighten, so their vision of America can come true.
Hasan defenders claim that it is not so much his beliefs in radical Islam that are at fault here, but the stress of being an Army Major and Psychiatrist having to listen to the horror stories of returning troops from Iraq and Afghanistan that finally made him crack, not the radical teaching of his Imam or attempted commutations with radical Muslim elements around the world. Chicago Mayor Daley in an interview went as far as to blame private gun ownership for the killings at Fort Hood and not the role of political correctness. Political correctness is so ingrained here that President Obama refuses to call this incident a terrorist attack.
Political Correctness even played a role in the failure of law enforcement to capture Beltway Sniper John Allen Muhammad in the early days of his two week rampage. A Baltimore Police Officer actually stumbled upon Muhammad and his co-conspirator Lee Boyd Malvo asleep in the very car that was used in the attacks, but rather than run a background check, the officer allowed them to proceed elsewhere because the officer was afraid the charge of “racial profiling” would be leveled against him as the public was bombarded by the so-called experts nightly, who boasted that a lone Southern White Anti-Government Redneck Type was the likely culprit behind the shootings. To say Americans were shocked at the arrest of Muhammad and Malvo would be an understatement.
Political Correctness also played a major role in the terrorist attacks of 9-11 as a wall of ignorance was used by the 19 terrorists to get around law enforcement and federal officials as several men were able to overstay their visas. The operations leader was stopped in Florida in 1998, but due to political correctness (the illusion of racial profiling,) he was let go with a warning and we all know the end result.
Then there are those like former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who boasted that Bush Officials knew of 9-11, yet did nothing to stop it. What if former Attorney General John Ashcroft knew that morning and ordered federal agents to storming airliners throughout the nation detaining Arabic Men at will, there would be call for his head and investigations into charges of “racial profiling.”
As we once again salute and bury our dead, it is time for Americans to wake up and understands that our enemies are not allowing political correctness to get in the way of their mission, which is to inflict as much damage to our way of life as they can.
What’s the old saying?
“Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6?”
The supervisor who gave him the poor evaluation should be named in headlines. Anyone know if he’s been leaked yet or is it all hush-hush?
A good summary of the problem. Conservatives need to start campaigning on this issue. They’ll have to put up with being called racists, but PC has got to go.
PC killed the soldiers and the baby, as it killed 3,000 others on 9/11 and as it will kill thousands more.
As I posted earlier this morning, we are fighting a three headed dragon. Liberal politicians, biased liberal news media and Islamic terrorism. All three are different heads of the same body and all three are using each other to destroy America. Radical libtards are dismantling the economy, passing huge spending programs, killing private industry and passing restrictive laws on everything. The media in this country is a disaster! Libtard newspapers and t.v. programs pound America with stories about how evil you are if you are patriotic, want less government, less taxation and more individual accountability. And most glaring of all, Islamic terrorists and sympathizers are using political correctness to kill us as has been predicted would happen on this web site for a long time now. The Fort Hood Massacre should be a wake up call to the hideous cancer of political correctness!
even today, on cnn, some idiot investigator was standing before a microphone, bleating the line about “searching for clues behind the shootings”. makes me sick .
at least the SOB is alive. I hope they put him on the stand so he can tell these @#$#%$$% as#$%$$%$ the truth.
there will be a lot of sleepless nights for the PC crowd in DC. hoping they are suffering for the rest of their sorry days.
Good post. You’ve focused on the true underlying problem not only in the military, but every level of education and society as well.
It’s not generally known, but Political Correctness as a labelled operation was created by Mao, and he didn’t do it without reason - it’s a weapon. It absolutely poisons the ability of a society to properly focus on the collective Leftist enemy.
I believe destroying PC at it’s root is the real purpose of the 1st Amendment.
good stuff.
Political correctness will continue to kill if it is not stopped. Every person who knew about Hasan and what he was doing should be fired and tried for criminal negligence.

You nailed it!
” Every person who knew about Hasan and what he was doing should be fired and tried for criminal negligence.”
You might start with General Casey.
Good piece, Kevin....sounds like you’re really on the mend.
This will never be righted until the term PC stands for “Political Corruption,” “Politically Corrupt,” and “Corrupt Politics” which is an outgrowth of oppressive government control. Whereby, certain individuals or favored groups override anothers rights through collective codes imposing what others are to believe, say and do; limiting freedoms by way of personal threat, duress and coercion, and designed as retaliation or punishment.
Good op-ed, FRiend. ‘Pod
It absolutely poisons the ability of a society to properly focus on the collective Leftist enemy.
....To be able to defend itself.
Damn right
Theyy should be tried and jailed just like Hasan.
Summary yes, but it is a proposal to solve the problem.
