Extreme Political Correctness

Michael Ramirez's cartoon captures the truth surrounding our great national nightmare of Nidal Malik Hasan:

Many others have expressed better than I can the utter depravity of American culture today. I did not jump to conclusions when I first heard of the shootings. But within hours it was clear to anyone with a half functioning brain that Malik Hasan was a bloodthirsty terrorist. There's a lot of frustration around the country among people in disbelief. What has happened to our national culture whereby we refuse objective truth when it's slapping in the face (and kiling our soldiers and citizens)?

Bride of Rove has a post up today that shows a temperment on the edge of packing it in at the insanity. It captures much of my unhappiness with our national denial. See, "A Bad, Bad Man in a Land of Complete Morons:

You may or may not have noticed that I’ve been unduly parsimonious with the posts here of late ... A wave of complete and total disgust for my fellow man has overwhelmed me to the point where I can’t even bring myself to rant. It’s not you. You are probably perfectly normal. It’s everyone else.

It’s Time.com and their un-fucking-believable article appologizing for subjecting the mass murderer Hasan to stress conditions that may or may not have caused him to aquire a never before diagnosed mental disorder that only a craptastic magazine writer like Mark Thompson of Time could give life to called PTSD-By-Proxy with a side of trigger twitch causing Hasan to accidentally on purpose contact Al Quaeda and – upon discovering that even THEY thought he was too fucking crazy to be a proper terrorist and rejected his overtures – driving him into a full bore not even his fault because he is a muslim fit of completely understandable and clearly a cry for help – MASS FUCKING MURDER.

What? Too harsh? At what point did the people in this country extract the section of their brain that allowed them to face the reality in front of them and call it like it is. Hasan is a bad, bad man. Worse. He’s an Al Quaeda wannabe who could not even get the secret handshake because he was too fucking stupid to consider the very real possiblility that Al Quaeda thought that an officer in the US Military contacting them for suggestions on Jihad COULD be a goddammed set up for a sting operation.

Look! Al Quaeda rejected him so he CAN’T be a terrorist.
