Calling Someone Unreliable Is Discrimination

Just the latest example of political correctness run amok.

Nicole Mamo, 48, wanted to post an advert for a £5.80-an-hour domestic cleaner on her local Jobcentre Plus website.

The text of the advert ended by stating that any applicants for the post ”must be very reliable and hard-working”.

But when Ms Mamo called the Jobcentre Plus in Thetford, Norfolk, the following day she was told that her advert would not be displayed instore.

A Jobcentre Plus worker claimed that the word ”reliable” meant they could be sued for discriminating against unreliable workers.

Ms Mamo, a mother-of-two, from Boreham Wood, Herts., said the situation was ”ridiculous”.

Ms Mamo, a mother-of-two, from Boreham Wood, Herts., said the situation was ”ridiculous”.

”I placed the advert on the website and when I phoned up to check I was told it hadn’t been displayed in the job centre itself,” she said. ”She said ‘oh we can’t put that advert on the job points’. She said it was because they could have cases against them for discriminating against unreliable people.

Who Wants To Get Together To Visit A Mosque?

I wonder if we could put together a group of people to visit New York City?

We wouldn’t actually visit a mosque, just gather around outside of one.

Specifically, the mosque on 96th Street.

That is where the Muslim “Brothers Of Revolution” have set up shop.

As you will see in the video, they have picked this area to spout off their anti-American drivel, and to foster terrorism against American citizens.

And, as we here at the Freedom Medium reported back in June. the citizens of New York City are too cowardly to do anything.

These radical Islamists want to preach terrorism, I think it’s time to show them what it is like to be terrified.

Because if a few hundred patriotic Americans were to suddenly come around the corner to discuss terrorism with them, the word would gain an entirely new meaning for them.

Imagine a member, past or present, of America’s military, someone from the Oathkeepers or the Patriot Riders, or any other patriotic American walking up to these goons one-on-one, standing directly in front of him, and saying:

“OK pal, I’m an infidel. Here I am. Go ahead and terrorize me.”

So, who’s up for a road trip?

Political Correctness Played A Part In The Fort Hood Shootings

I have never been one to be “politically correct.”

And I am not about to break the pattern with this article, so be forewarned.

There are two factors that led to the shooting rampage at Fort Hood.

One is political correctness, the other is a severely flawed U. S. military policy.

As far back as six months ago, the alleged Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan was brought to the attention of the FBI over suspected comments he had made on a website.

It is now coming to light that Hasan had also been known to make some of the same sorts of remarks to his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood.

Among these were such red-flags as:

Describing the U.S. Army as the aggressor in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory.”
It’s being said that he had compared a soldier who died smothering a grenade blast to “suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers.”

Now if both the FBI and the military both knew, or even suspected, that these were the beliefs of this man, why was nothing done about it?

Have we gone this far down the path of fearing being charged with ethnic profiling that we allow a man who appears to have radical Islamist ideals to be a member of our armed forces?

During a time of war, Hasan should have been investigated, brought up omn charges under the UCMJ (Uniform Code Of Military Justice, and dishonorably discharged.

President Obama has promised a full investigation of the circumstances that led to this tragedy, and I hope he starts with the chain-of-command at Fort Hood, and at any other military base where Hasan may have been stationed.

The second thing that was a direct factor in this tragedy is the idiotic U.S. military policy which does not allow the carrying of loaded weapons on base.

This is contrary to the policy of almost every military training facility in the world.

If the troops at Fort Hood had been allowed to carry the weapons that they train with, this would have had a much different outcome.

Instead, it took the brave actions of a civilian female police officer to bring an end to Hasan’s rampage.

What in the hell is wrong with this picture when the largest military facilty in the world has to contract out with a civilian police force to provide base security?

I am furious about what happened at Fort Hood for a number of reasons, but there are two that really hit close to home.

One is that a close family friend has a son stationed at Fort Hood, and we agonized for hours before learning that he was OK.

The other is that next May my daughter leaves for the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island.

Up until now, I have felt somewhat secure for her safety in knowing that the odds are highly against her being assigned to a front-line combat unit.
At least that is the policy right now.

Now I am left with the thought that, in spite of receiving the finest traing that the U.S. military has to offer. i have to fear for her safety while she is still stateside?

President Obama and I agree on almost nothing he proposes.

If he were to overturn this ludicrous policy prohibiting uniformed personel from carrying loaded weapons on-base, for that measure he would have my fullhearted support.

I am hoping that, not just for the sake of my daughter, but for the sake of all of the brave men and women who serve in our military, that in this day and age of war and terrorism, the least we can do is allow them the means to protect themselves.

Update: Late Breaking News: Fort Hood Shooter Had Links To 9-11 Terrorists

This Is Politically Incorrect

A recent conversation with a friend of my wife left both of us somewhat flustered. She took issue with the fact that I referred to a “homeless” person as a bum.And it got me to thinking just how silly this thing of using politically correct terminology has become. So I decided to share my thoughts on this issue:

“Bum” became “homeless person.”

Sorry, but with all of the help available from social service and mental health agencies, as well as various charities, if you choose to sleep on a park bench it’s your own fault. Get a job, no matter how menial it might be, and find a bed in a rooming house.

 ”Christmas” became “Festival of Trees.” Look, try and understand this. Christians celebrating the birth of Christ is no more a festival of trees than Hanukkah is a festival of candles.

“Died” first became “Passed On” and now it’s simply “Passed”.

I was OK with passed on, but as far as passed, forget it. What is this, some sort of test? When someone is dead, they are not going to pass anything, except perhaps a church on their way to the cemetery.

“Founding Fathers” became “The Founders.”

Sorry ladies, but if your ego is so fragile that this country exists due to the efforts of a bunch of men, you need much more help than I could possibly give you.

“Illegal Aliens” became “Undocumented Immigrants.”

This one really gets me.Maybe illegal aliens are gangbangers from outer space, and undocumented immigrants are simply people who live in the U.S. without being bothered by becoming citizens.

I’m sure we will re-visit this issue at another time, but feel free to send your comments.

Just make sure you aren’t politically incorrect.
