Fort Hood

There is a lot of disturbing news coming out of the tragedy at Ft Hood last week. First, how was this Muslim doctor, so openly dangerous, not stopped a long time ago? Second, was this really a case of "political correctness?" Were people afraid to "profile," "stereotype," etc. based on this guy's religion? But what about his political beliefs? So, does that mean political correctness is responsible for 13 deaths, along with 28 serious casualties? If so, again, what a farce PC is--and I hope the PC crowd feels the pain. (Although I'm sure it doesn't because they are "the anointed," they know better than we and have a "higher good" in mind that outweighs the deaths of these soldiers.) Of course, PC isn't responsible--the guy is responsible for his own actions. But the PC crowd must be held accountable for creating an atmosphere that allowed this to occur. Third, where is the "moderate" Muslim community? I haven't heard any of them decrying this atrocity, again committed in the name of the Muslims' religion. Does their silence speak volumes, a tacit approval of what went on? Surely they are going to lament, not the deaths, but the possibility of "profiling," "stereotyping," etc. Have the "moderates" not noticed that any demonstrations in the streets have not come from Americans against Islam or Muslims, but from Muslims over cartoons, Tickle Me Muhammad, etc. Even when Muslims lop off heads of Westerners, there are no riots in American streets.

I wonder if any heads will roll. No, I don't wonder at all. Nothing will happen. The media will spin this to placate the situation. There will be no reaction because people will be afraid to be called names, like "bigot," etc. And that's what the PC crowd and media will do. Instead of looking seriously at a serious problem, they will call names. Hey, that's what the schools do when they can't engage in serious dialogue, can't defend their inane actions. What a country!
