Political Correctness Kills
The sad case of Army Major Malik Nadal Hasan is just the latest evidence that our culture of political correctness is not only destroying our freedom of speech, but it can have deadly results. The push for politically correctness is actually an effort by those who see themselves as elites to tell us poor unfortunate and uneducated commoners that there are some things were are not allowed to say and ideas we are not allowed to discuss… unless it is how awful our country is.
Some courts have even upheld this unconstitutional and anti-American mindset when they have placed hurt feelings above the rights we have been given by our creator. Our constitution says we have the right to express our thoughts and feelings. It does not guarantee that we will never be offended. Yet… some have used this pernicious concept which emanated from the bowels of academia which was once the bastion of free thought and inquiry to stifle free thought and inquiry. However, in this era of specialization, we have teachers teaching and professors professing that have spent their whole lives behind ivy covered walls, having successfully avoided real world participation. They have given us the benefit of the output of their great minds that are unencumbered by the reality the rest of us live in.
In the case of Major Hasan, we see that politically correct thinking most likely is running amok, even in our fine military. Reports are that he was inflicting his anti-war and anti-American views on recovering service men. We are also told that he was angrily spreading the word that our country was at war with his Islamic faith… and that those that take part deserve death. We are told that he gave away his possessions in his apartment prior to this attack… as if he were not coming back. And, lastly, we are told that he shouted praises to Allah before beginning his attack. Yet, the Commander in Chief is not interested in having investigators pursue the possibility that his extreme religious views led to his horrible actions.
The man was not Joe Muslim. He was inculcated with the beliefs that his country was wrong in what he saw as a battle against his religion and time after time made these thoughts known. His postings were scattered about the internet. There is no way his commanders should have been unaware of his positions. He even was transferred away from Walter Reed Army Hospital after running into trouble because of them. Yet, no one thought he posed a danger… or if they did,they were not willing to appear prejudiced against a member of a group the military was actively recruiting.
Hasan railed against the military he was part of, and against it’s objectives, yet they let him continue in his position, even deciding he should become part of this conflict. They refused to act on obvious information, or perhaps, they were ordered not to act on obvious information… and a dozen American men and women in uniform lost their lives before they even got into a war zone. Now they wonder, “How could this have happened?”
It happened because they were looking to be seen as open, diverse and inclusive. It happened because they took their eyes off the objective of the military, which is to keep our country safe. The creation of career paths and a diverse workforce replaced the real reason we have men with guns in our employ. Career paths and the like are nice, but they are not the reason we have our men and women in uniform.
Major Hasan even took advantage of the goodness of our country in providing him with an education to become a doctor. He was either an intelligent man to get through this education, or the recipient of other PC rules to keep the personnel in some sort of affirmative action driven quota balance. In either case, he received good from the Army and returned evil. He should not have been in his position, but he was and we, as a country, are lesser for it.
It’s time we stop quietly acquiescing to those who demand we temper our speech and thought so as not to offend someone. We should not become insensitive slobs, but we need to speak and act on the truth. Political correctness causes us to set the truth aside… and we pay for it by becoming a more dishonest society. We need to get back to understanding what we are told in John 8:32, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
We have our choice, truth and freedom or lies and slavery… which will you choose?

V.I. Lenin said the West will buy our and they will hang themselves with it. As I have told the WFA.com’s webmaster, We gave them rope of the Internet and PC is its noose. Now, I hope the Senate’s penchant for PC will be sobered in the face of the 15,000 other potential muslim terrorists within our in our military forces. This is a letter to the powerz yesterday, 12 Nov 09. What are you doing reading this? You should be writing you own:
1)I hope this message is not too late. If dirty Harry* likes this guy, you gotta’ hate him ‘with perfect hatred’ (Psalm 139). If you ‘cling to your bibles’ (obamism) than the ‘Holy Quran’ (oabomination), you cannot trust Hamilton to review judgments in the 7th district court of this nascent banana republic of peels. Each time you confirm kitman DOTUS’** appointees, you add more bricks in the seven pillars non wisdom*** supporting the roof of Dar al Islam. This, sirs and madams, is NOT hyperbole!
AWL of PILMOA
*Nonapologia intentional
**D = Deceiver
***parody of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Islamophile D.H. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia of WW1)
2)To the wavering Senators, 13 Friday, Nov, 09:
As they say, ‘We have no dog in this fight’. We wage this battle not for ourselves, and so should you fight for your children and not for your temporal satisfactions.
You should have received our message yesterday. Did you read it? Or did you pay as much attention to it as you do to the bills you affirm? Your political lives—if one can call them that—are in jeopardy. Worse, your childrens’ children may be forced someday to submit to sharia law if you confirm this naively pathetic being to the bench. If done, your female children will view the world through the filigree of a burkas, will not enjoy a decent education, will be forced to marry a brother, and will have no rights whatsoever. The young men will be taught the ‘honor’ of stoning a sister or behead a mother for looking at strangers. Do you want your heirs to listen robot like to shaggy old men who preach epithets and blasphemy to the God you abandoned? Will you willfully allow this impostor, David Hamilton, this antipathy to the beloved Psalmist and the image of one of our forefathers on our US $10 bill? Think about it if you can? Is the unholy perk you may have received from the little Napoleonic pair worth enough to bet against the welfare of your unborn heirs?
