Whenever I hear about a shooting in the east end, I immediately expect the victim and/or perpetrators to be black.
Whenever I hear about a baby murdered or abandoned in central Canada, I immediately expect the delinquent parent to be Native.
That same instinct kicked in on the first report of a bloody massacre at a military base in Texas, and led me to the assumption that somehow, the Koran and one (or more) of it’s deranged followers had to be involved.
We’re all made to feel bad for thinking it, but the truth is stereotyping is just patterning based on informed observation. My own bigoted assumptions, mentioned above, are accurate more than 90% of the time and I make them without the benefit of a psychology degree or any training in criminalistics – something which can’t be said of the scores of “learned experts” who spent the entire network prime time last night, prostrating themselves to avoid having to declare the blatantly obvious: That 13 Americans died yesterday because the dozens of checks and balances in the U.S. Military were ignored or over-ruled by the politically correct notion that the radicals can only be found in caves in the desert.
***Or, in other words:
What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Ft. Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of non-denominational shoplifting.








My thoughts exactly but said quite a bit more politely than I expressed it.

I'm sputtering mad about this attack!
This was a DOMESTIC MUSLIM TERRORIST who had telegraphed his EVIL MUSLIM MURDEROUS thinking MONTHS in advance, and was reportedly heard by witnesses to cry, "Allahu Akbar!" (God is Great!) as he started shooting!
Yet, because America and most of the rest of the Western world is suicidally politically correct, it's now reported that investigators are CLUELESS about the killer's possible motivation!
WTF is WRONG with our minds? WHY are so many so friggin' DELUSIONAL?
To add insult to injury, we have our POTUS, the Muslim-Sympathizer-in-Chief, denying the truth, and CAIR getting LOADS of free air time urging all of us to be calm!
I have exactly ONE thing to say to ALL Muslims who cheer this evil mass murderer, this member of the largest and most EVIL religious CULT on earth; in fact, to ANYONE who does not vigorously CONDEMN this attack:
"F___ you and the camel you rode in on!"

To add a bit to the above, which I deliberately understated so I could be published:
I live in Dallas, a 3-hr drive from Ft. Hood. This hit VERY close to home.
The Army Secretary, who I assume to be an Obamaite, is coming off like a mealy-mouthed castrated LAWYER.
We can expect MORE of these killing grounds until we wise up and take determined action---get all Muslims OUT of the military (in this economy, the military has far more potential non-Muslim recruits than it can handle anyway), no more Muslims allowed in the country at all, and close supervision of those already here---and NO apologies about it!
We interned Japanese citizens (which I do not support any more than J. Edgar Hoover did) with FAR LESS justification than the Muslims have already given us.

Political correctness is predicated on the suspension of common sense. It's the only way one can even begin to act upon the assumption that all cultures, religions and creeds are inherently equal.
