Walsh says U.S. Government was too politically correct to prevent Fort Hood massacre
Chicago Tribune ^ | 8-10-12 | Katherine Skiba

U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh asserted this week that a "politically correct" U.S. government was so fearful of offending Islam that it failed to prevent the Fort Hood massacre.

Walsh, a first-term Republican congressman with tea party support, told an audience Wednesday in Elk Grove Village: "Your government was so afraid of doing its job, so afraid of offending Islam that right in front of our noses, we saw what was happening at Fort Hood, and because your government was politically correct, Americans died."

A U.S.-born Muslim who was an Army psychiatrist is awaiting trial in the November 2009 shootings at Fort Hood, Texas, that left 13 dead and dozens more wounded.

Walsh decried the threat within the U.S. posed by a radical strain of Islam.

"It is a real threat," he said. "And it is a threat that is much more at home now than it was right after 9/11. It's here. It's in Elk Grove. It's in Addison. It's in Elgin."

Guns don’t kill people.

Political correctness kills people.

“Political correctness kills people.”

A local talkshow host uses that line. It is true.

a guest on Fox News the other day said: political correctness used to be a nuisance but it has become a noose around our necks. PC is Satan at his best.

NO CHIT!!!

Political Correctness:

”A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

By spreading this definition around, perhaps we can employ one of the more effective methods of deflating and defeating the fools who practice and promote it: RIDICULE.

Unless stopped – and soon – PC will DESTROY Western Civilization -- if it hasn’t already.

PASS IT ON!!

The Obama administration categorized the the Ft. Hood shooting as “workplace violence”.

The recent shooting at the Sikh temple was called “domestic terrorism.”

So, a white ex serviceman is a terrorist, and a Muslim jihadist is a disgruntled employee.

Newspeak speaks.
