Family Security Matters » Publications » In Politically Correct America, Everybody Wins – But No One Knows How to Compete: "The refusal of the departments of the Army and Defense to call the killing of 12 Fort Hood soldiers – a civilian employee – and the wounding of at least 30 others an act of terrorism is the latest example of political correctness gone amuck. No judging!

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, and the Chief of Staff of the Army, Gen. George W. Casey, Jr., refused to label the actions of devout Muslim Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan an act of Islamic terrorism despite mounds of evidence to the contrary. In recent congressional hearings, Defense Secretary Dr. Robert M. Gates said, “I’m not going there,” when asked if he thought Hasan had committed an act of terrorism.

Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano refuses to even utter the word terrorism, and prefers “man-made disaster” instead. Yet she embraces a report that identifies returning combat veterans, right-wing Christians and gun owners as potential domestic terrorists.

While on Larry King Live the day of the Fort Hood massacre, sensitive celebrities like Dr. Phil McGuire surmised that there wasn’t enough information available to conclude if Hasan is a terrorist, or if he had just snapped."
