Does political correctness kill?

Did Bill Clinton get blow jobs in the Oval Office? "Political correctness" (along with our immigration policy, itself a direct product of "political correctness") is probably the leading factor leading to the massacres of 9/11. It'll lead to more massacres, too, as sure's you're born, because nine months after 9/11, we still have lots of Muslim militant illegals "in country," and those animals have plenty of enabling "politically correct" American traitors to help them.

Every time this subject comes up, the PC crowd makes the leap directly from "paying special attention to Arab or Middle Eastern men" to "Why not just round up any and all Arabs and put them in camps like we did the Japanese-Americans in WWII?" as the reason not to do it... Ann Coulter has written several times on this subject... If was can't jettison this PC crap and do some proper investigations, we're all doomed...

[Dems_R_Losers]

There he goes again, committing truth in public.... Fox News just did a story on whether "PC" was the real problem in the FBI; let's hope this issue keeps getting aired so the REAL change that is needed will happen.

Howdy! I'll check this out. Steyn always seems to crank out good stuff!

I'm not sure I'm against rounding up all the middle eastern men, at least the ones that are not US citizens. Send them home or put them in internment camps?

Steyn does it again. The most fun I've had on FR was watching some of the dyed in the wool Bushbots here discover Mark Steyn last fall and sing his praises... briefly...until he made a crack about W. Funny, none of them had heard of him while their hilarious convention in Philly was going on in 2000 and Steyn was dissecting it with his laser scalpel of discernment and his cauterizing wit.

Too bad they were tipped off too early to have gotten their awakening from this piece. Imagine their chagrin. ahaha

You might as well wish for the moon fairies to come down and kiss you on the cheek.

The PC crowd doesn’t read conservative papers like the NY Post or Washington Times, nor do they watch Fox.

The only time the loony left pays any attention to the conservative press is when one of the conservative press agencies publishes something un-PC. Then the PC press publishes a critisism of the un-PC article. This is when the PC crowd takes notice and then they start lobbing their “You’re so mean” and “You bunch of Nazis” comments at the offending party.

There are none so blind as those who are PC.

[Twodees]

I agree. If we can't jettison this PC crap and start profiling ME terrorist suspects, then those camps the bleeding hearts mention so sarcastically will become a reality.

Would you please add me to your Mark Steyn ping list?--would really appreciate it.

Does political correctness kill?

Well, some of the cr*p I've heard from the left over the years just kills me!

[white trash redneck]

Not my original thought, but we'll know that Bush is serious about fighting terrorism when he is willing to risk his minority suck-up program by racial profiling, patrolling the border, and enforcing immigration laws.

It's not just the oil, it's the investments and facilities owned by American companies.

Worth a repost ping.

In August, 2001, no FBI honcho was prepared to fire off a potentially career-detonating memo saying "Check out the Arabs."

And they STILL won't. PC Uber Alles, even if it kills us.

oil. But the largest source of imported energy for the United States is the Province of Alberta. No Albertan representative gets the access in Washington the Saudis do. No bigshot Albertans get to kick loose at Bush's Crawford ranch. Ralph Klein doesn't get Colin Powell kissing up to him like "Crown" "Prince" Abdullah and "Prince" Bandar do.

Amazing; What the hell is the problem here.If the above is true, and I beleive it is, why is it they take a 3 inch plastic crochet hook, and a ball of wool away from my 81 year old sister who can hardly walk? A white Albertan old lady. In the meantime, middleast men are still coming into the country on phony visa's.
