Suicide By PC [Editorial]

Suicide By PC

For Gen. Casey, loss of diversity would be an "even greater tragedy." APView Enlarged Image

War On Terror: The No. 1 lesson of the Fort Hood massacre is that political correctness kills. But instead of learning this lesson, the Pentagon is repeating the mistake, putting more soldiers at risk.

Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey warns that making the connection between Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's terrorist act and his Islamic faith could "cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers."

Yet ignoring that connection, despite one red flag after another, is what allowed Hasan allegedly to carry out his own violent backlash against non-Muslim soldiers.

Just a few months ago, Hasan was promoted to major. He passed a security clearance despite evidence he openly engaged in anti-American rants, and even discussed cutting the throats of infidels during a PowerPoint presentation. Now there are reports that U.S. intelligence intercepted contacts between Hasan and al-Qaida.

But shhh! This isn't about Islam. Close your eyes. Look the other way. Do not make the connection.

"It would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here," Casey said on Sunday's morning shows. Really? Tell that to the victims of the Muslim terrorist who shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before pumping fellow soldiers full of bullets at close range. Tell it to their grieving families

The shooting masscare at Fort Hood should raise many questions with the public. For starters, why did the FBI react the way they did with what the knew?
At least six months ago, Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades. Investigators had not determined for certain whether Hasan was the author of the posting, and a formal investigation had not been opened before the shooting, said law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the case.
What about the CIA?
U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.
Why did the Army react the way they did when Hasan was clearly incompetent at his job. And last, since it has been reported Fort Hood had a high suicide rate, you have to ask, what kind of mental health treatment was/is being provided to soldiers at Fort Hood when you consider Hasan was part of the counseling program at the mental health facilities on Fort Hood. What about his time at Walter Reed? Soldier Suicide Attempts Skyrocket In the article you will find the number of suicides have increased substantially within the last year. And it wasn't until July of this year that Hasan was moved from Walter Reed. So what has his impact been as a doctor who treated soldiers who Hasan in effect saw as an enemy to his religion?

The distance between “should” and “will” became non-Euclidean on 1/20/2009.

No one wants to say it. The hard truth is that we’ve encountered a sect of a religion that is fundamentally at odds with our basic rights. We need to act accordingly.

So name one good thing occurring because of diversity.

Interesting restaurants maybe?

Product of diversity: death, the way of the islam cult.

When I read the headline I thought this was going to be an article about the Japanese guy who killed himself by playing WOW for 72 hours straight!

George Washington AND George Patton would have stood this political hack before a fireing squad and shot him for treason.

I hope the 13 ghosts of those victims haunt this bastard the rest of his life. He is a coward. Casey is an anatomically correct G.I. Joe doll.

There are around 1,700 active duty muslims. We can do well without them. What if Ike had said “I hope all these soldiers the Germans killed on D-Day doesn’t cause a back lash against the Nazis”. He would have been relieved of his command in about two minutes.

We have allowed this to go too far and I’m afraid there’s no turning back. We’ve allowed the press to be taken over by communists along with the government. We might as well announce to Bin Laden that he’s no longer wanted and invited him to have a beer with his “brother” in the white house. And while he’s there his “brother” can go ahead and sign the surrender papers. Man, it’s sad that we’ve become as big of whimps as France.

With more tragic results.

Saw a recap of the Malvo murders on CNN.
They all said, ‘Still don’t know why he did it’.

Because the false moon god tells them to.
They just don’t learn, do they?

A fair numbers of Americans know that, and have since 9/11 and before. But our government, regardless of the party in power, has been doing everything in its power to deny that truth, and to misinform and even demonize Americans who dare speak that truth aloud.

And there is no sign yet that any part of our government will change. Recognizing Islam for what it is will have to be brought about by talk radio and other Americans speaking out against our government. - Maybe the Fort Hood atrocity will set things in motion, but it'll take more than that to bring real honesty to our public dialogue.

Suicide is only accurate if it were just the PC idiots that are being killed, but the truth is it’s murder. Many see the truth and yet it’s the PC liberals who are causing the deaths of random innocents through their PC policies.

There is no particular right for muslims to serve in the military and now hundreds of reasons not to allow it.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Three score and a few years ago American citizens were imprisoned in barbed wire camps because they were of Japanese descent and we were at war with Japan. Now we clutch the enemy vipers to our breast and make excuses when they bite us. America has gone berserk.

“Tell us how we can prevent this in the future and do it
constitutionally and legally.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

We can constitutionally ban any people who follow a belief system that encourages them to be traitors to the country from serving. We only need to follow the REAL constitution instead of the imaginary “living, breathing document” that has taken control in recent years.

People are disqualified for being too short or for being too tall or for failure to pass a mental test or a security check but somehow we think we can’t disqualify people who want to destroy us. This is insanity.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

According to Nancy Pelosi we DON’T HAVE any basic rights! When asked what part of the constitution authorized her to fine and or imprison someone for failing to purchase health insurance she asked, “Are you serious”! Anyone who responds that way has zero concept of any basic rights for American citizens whatsoever. She may as well say, “Rights, Smights”!

Pelosi is a traitor to this country and is utterly despicable, there are no words in the language to express my utter contempt toward her.
