Political correctness is killing Americans

I wonder at what point Americans will become outraged by how political correctness is killing Americans and putting this great nation at risk.

The outrageous slaughter of Americans in Orlando was done by a man yelling "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great) at the time who took a pause in those murders to call 911 and declare that he was devoted to ISIS. There can be no doubt that this was an attack by a Muslim extremist motivated by ISIS.

Later ISIS claimed credit for those murders. Yet in his speech to the American people on Sunday and again Monday, President Obama did not once mention that this attack was done by a radical Islamic extremist.

Instead of attacking the root cause of this outrage, President Obama focused on attacking guns and the right of the American people to defend ourselves under the Second Amendment. This political correctness is killing Americans.

We now know that the Orlando murderer threatened fellow workers so much that one quit because his company wouldn't address the issue because the murderer was a Muslim. That political correctness led to the death of those people in Orlando.

That same political correctness led to the Ft. Hood shootings. Major Hasan's commanders knew that he was a Muslim extremist. Yet they were afraid to say or do anything about it because of political correctness. As a result, 12 Americans were killed and 31 were wounded at Ft Hood.

Any leader that doesn't have the courage to say that we are in a global war with radical Islam and that we need to destroy those Islamic Jihadists with the help of the majority of good Muslims that should be our allies, should be publicly disgraced and terminated from their jobs.
