Typical PC nonsense that comes out of the Obama White House.


Quote:
Sen. Susan Collins on Wednesday blasted the Defense Department for classifying the Fort Hood massacre as workplace violence and suggested political correctness is being placed above the security of the nation's Armed Forces at home.

During a joint session of the Senate and House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, the Maine Republican referenced a letter from the Defense Department depicting the Fort Hood shootings as workplace violence. She criticized the Obama administration for failing to identify the threat as radical Islam.

This action is suicidally stupid. The forces of PCorrectness are so brainwashed they don't know they are sowing the seeds of their own cultural demise. We need spread the word of these anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Western actions so the masses finally wake up.

It's not PC speak. It's called issue rebranding, an art that was perfected by your very own GOP consultant and pollster Frank Luntz. He is why instead of talking about global warming, now we talk about climate change; he rebranded the estate tax to what is now commonly called the death tax; why oil drilling is now billed as energy exploration, and on and on and on. Of course, you railed against the rebranding of those words, too, in order to make something sound better than it was or to fit a political agenda, right?

How much of those things involved taking a rifle and murdering six people?

It's terrorism the reason he shot the soldiers had nothing to do with specific workplace issues but an overall Islamic ideology.

Have a nice day.
