Do as I say...not as I do

We live in a time where pretty much everything is about political correctness, and it's getting to be ridiculous. Unless we are in the privacy of our own home, we have to be mindful of others and make sure that what we do or say doesn't upset or offend anyone (and it's usually not meant that way to begin with.) I personally cannot believe that our leaders have set this example. It's childish, the liberals say that it's wrong to do something, unless you are on their side, then it can be justified. It's the whole "do as I say, not as I do routine."
In A Note On Political Correctness by Shawn Griffiths, he discusses a video from the Glenn Beck Show on Fox News where he rants and raves about the murders at Fort Hood and that political correctness is taking over our nation. Griffiths explains that the liberal interpretation of being politically correct is a double standard, that they won't label Nidal Hasan (the Fort Hood shooter) an extremist, but the individuals participating in the Tea Parties recently are "extremists that have physically assaulted elected officials." The author could not have explained this any better. Hasan is a domestic terrorist, not just someone who got his feelings hurt and then snapped. We should not take pity on Hasan just because the politically correct liberals don't want to hurt his feelings. I think he lost that right when he killed 13 people and wounded another 31. Shouldn't we be trying to learn how someone like Hasan (and yes I mean a terrorist) in connection with Al Queda was in our military, and a high-ranking officer at that? Griffiths makes the comment that when he says "Hasan is a terrorist that should be condemned to death and burn in hell," it is not politically correct as labeled by others, but he doesn't care if it is or isn't. He shouldn't care, that's his right, just like liberals have the right to their opinion. When one of our so called leaders decides that they don't agree with it and label it as wrong, that's when it becomes an issue.
Griffiths asks if anyone is offended by Hasan not being called a terrorist. Well I am extremely offended, we all should be. Anyone who kills 13 of our military men and women in cold blood like Hasan did, whether or not they are associated with Al Queda, should be considered a terrorist and dealt with harshly.
This article comes from the blog, "The North Texas Conservative" by Shawn Griffiths. I was unable to find anything as far as his credentials, but it seems he has very strong opinions about telling the truth and not "sugarcoating" anything. With this article, I am sure he just wants people to wake up and think for themselves.
