Almost page for page out of the what to look for handbook? NOPE . Its better to appease a few and look sensitive than it is to use common sense.
Another 911 will happen. I am just happy not to live in a city or near any Nuclear power plants.
Yep--Political Correctness may be "funny", and I've made a few jokes about it myself. But it's not. In its purest sense, political correctness is a 'drug' that masks the harshness of reality. It's fine to use it judiciously (for example, to get rid of the "N" word). But in any widespread application, PC doesn't "fool" anybody.

Political correctness, used ever-more frequently to the point that we begin to accept it over reality, will quite likely eventually kill us.

Default 3 facts to ponder

1. Jimmy Carter, the stepfather of modern Islamic terrorism was a democrat

2. Bill Clinton, MOD CUT when he should have been meeting with Arafat, was a democrat.

3. Even though Dubya is a dork, the party that had 2 chances and failed to put forth a viable candidate to defeat him, were democrats.

oh and PS... in case you hadn't noticed, we didn't ask to be attacked and we didn't attack ourselves, Moslem whackos did it.

So before you Dems start gettin jiggy over the past and your dreams of the future, take a good look in the looking glass.

I'm really suprised it hasn't already happened agian, it's not like it would be hard to do. They could cause much more terror than on 911 with a lot less effort.

George Bush has told 935 lies in two years after September 11th. I don’t think that there is anything to fear except this type of republican administration and a corrupt political party that fails to serve the American people.

Yeah, and how many lies has he told us about September 11th itself??? Bet that one would number in the hundreds, too. Surely enough lies to not want to testify under oath in regards to the events of 9/11.

This country is a joke. And anybody who believes one word Bush or the American gov't says is a pathetic fool.

Are these impeachable offenses? Or will he be able to leave office after pardoning everyone involved in the lies and cover-ups?
