Political correctness to blame (again) for attempted terrorist attack of passenger jet bound for Detroit
As with the terrorist attack at Ft. Hood, political correctness and the fear of being branded as anti-Muslim or discriminatory is one of the reasons passengers on a jet headed for Detroit almost died in a preventable terrorist attack attempt.

Pakistani Islamofascists Destroy Western Army Vehicles
Our good, peace-loving friends from the lawless border area of Pakistan are at it again. Some 200 Islamofascists destroyed 96 Western vehicles in an act of terror.
I don’t know what it’s going to take to get our government here in the U.S. to treat Pakistan like the terrorist-harboring country it is. Quite frankly, Pakistan isn’t [...]
