Is Political Correctness Killing Us?
Today’s link is to an article where “Muslims are acting angrily” and the Muslim Public Affairs Council has filed a request that the U.S. military remove all rifle scopes that have been engraved with Bible passages. This is a most telling quote from the article that has me scratching my head:
“Having Biblical references on military equipment violates the basic ideals and values our country was founded upon,” said MPAC Director Haris Tarin said in a statement. “Worse still, it provides propaganda ammo to extremists who claim there is a ?Crusader war against Islam’ by the United States.”
Huh? ‘Provides propaganda ammo to extremists’? Who is he referring to? Also, the ‘basic ideals and values our country was founded upon’? You mean those evil Judeo-Christian values? Anyway, read the link and judge for yourselves if we are not ‘jumping the shark’ on this one:

We need to get over this PC mindset real soon or we are going to come to the conclusion that nothing is true and, as a result, others will rise up to force upon us their ‘truth’ and we will be powerless to do a darn thing about it!
