Sick of political correctness!

I just hate to think what I'm going to have to go through the next time I want to fly to visit the grandkids. Can someone please forget this politically correct nonsense and do some decent profiling? How many elderly couples or young families have to pay because some man was permitted to buy a plane ticket with cash, pass through security, and get on an airplane to fly to the US without luggage? Nobody thought that was the least bit odd? Or, did no one dare say anything for fear of being.....impolite? intolerant? racist?

Even worse is the fact that he was on a watch list, his father had tried--more than once--to alert authorities, and it was known that he had been speaking with a radical cleric. Yoo Hoo!

Charles Krauthammer, from the Washington Post Writer's Group, identifies a real problem within the current United States administration:

The reason the country is uneasy about the Obama administration’s response to this attack is a distinct sense of not just incompetence but incomprehension. From the very beginning, President Barack Obama has relentlessly tried to downplay and deny the nature of the terrorist threat we continue to face. Napolitano renames terrorism “man-caused disasters.” Obama goes abroad and pledges to cleanse America of its post-9/11 counterter­rorist sins. Hence, Guantanamo will close, CIA interrogators will face a special prosecutor, and Khalid Sheik Mohammed will bask in a civilian trial in New York — a trifecta of political correctness and image management.

And just to make sure even the dimmest understand, Obama ban­ishes the term “war on terror.” It’s over — that is, if it ever existed.

If it weren't for a faulty detonator and some passengers, more than 300 people would likely be dead. And Obama's administration is calling this man a "suspect" and sent him to a jail where he quickly lawyered up and stopped talking.

Mr. Krauthammer goes on to say:

This absurdity renders hollow Obama’s declaration that “we will not rest until we find all who were involved.” Once we’ve given Abdul­mutallab the right to remain silent, we have gratuitously forfeited our right to find out from him precisely who else was involved, namely those who trained, instructed, armed and sent him.

This is just nuts. I'm going to carry on some more tomorrow.
