John McCain calls the Fort Hood massacre an “act of terror” and condemns political correctness

  Add John McCain’s name to the small but growing list of politicians who are willing to call the Fort Hood massacre an “act of terror.”

The fact is that it was an act of terror when you’re on a military base, and you are a trusted member of the military, a commissioned officer, and you kill your fellow members in the military — motivated obviously by his views of the extremist interpretation of an honorable religion

  Truer words have never been spoken. The list of politicians who have called the shootings an act of terrorism may be small, John McCain, Joe Lieberman, and Pete Hoekstra, but that list is growing and it will continue to grow as more details about the massacre come out.

  Barack Obama may want to believe that terrorism doesn’t exist any more but the actions of Hasan prove to us all that it does exist. Our Nobel Peace Prize winning president is in denial, or cover up mode, and he is unwilling to call the massacre what everyone knows it is– an act of terror. As more details come out it will be increasingly harder for Barack Obama to deny this. He, and Homeland Security, are more interested in protecting Muslims against a backlash that is not going to happen because of the massacre than they were about protecting the American people before the massacre.

  This is political correctness gone awry, and that leads me into John McCain’s next statement:

We ought to make sure ‘political correctness’ never impedes national security

  Unfortunately it seems as if political correctness came before national security at Fort Hood. Political correctness was an accessory to the crime terrorism that occurred at Fort Hood, political correctness enabled the massacre at Fort Hood.
