The religion of Political Correctness which keeps the Freedom of Speech in a Full-Nelson Hold, has now cost the lives of 13 proud members of our United States military. The politics of fear has grown to a point that our own military personnel are afraid to report terrorist suspects, even those that have infiltrated their own organizations.

In this case, the deadly terrorist attack at Fort Hood committed by the terrorist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who murdered the 13 soldiers during a time of war against terrorism, had previously made countless remarks against our own military's involvement in the war on terror against Muslims and nothing was done to investigate this matter properly.

The reason why it wasn't reported up through the channels of the United States Army was because of fear or reprisals for stating facts that should be investigated but were not due to the suspect being of Muslim faith and a minority in the military.

Everyone knows that to dare suggest that a Muslim be investigated as a terror suspect, them risk of being labeled insensitive or worse, a racist is too much liability and not worth losing your rank, position or your job over altogether.

This time it cost the very valuable lives of 13 military troops in our very own back yard. What an incredible shame! To make this tragedy of silence even worse, within hours of the cold blooded murder of our soldiers, the FBI announces immediately that this was not an act of terrorism. Really? Why jump to conclusions?

Oh, God forbid any of us local yokels see this for what it is and suggest that this Muslim who wore our uniform, just terrorized the nation with yet another attack on our soil. Is the FBI so efficient and fabulous that they were able to determine this was in fact not a terrorist attack? Bravo for the FBI.

We later learn that the Pentagon stated that they were not notified by U. S. Intelligent Agencies that they had intercepted e-mail between Major Nidal Malik Hasan and extremist Anwar Al-Awlaki an Imam with links to Al-Qaeda. Why were they not notified? More fear of Political Correctness or less freedom of speech?

I mean come on; we are depending on these agencies and the Pentagon for our Homeland Security? Oh, by the way, Anwar Al-Awlaki praised Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan as a Hero for viciously murdering our young warriors at Fort Hood. Oh, but our wonderful and diplomatic President cautions us not to jump to conclusions about why our soldiers were murdered.

Can our White House not read the writing
