Gingrich: Obama is most dangerous president in American history


This article on Fox News highlights an issue that many see as central to the coming election. The security of the United States is being undermined by Barack Obama, according to GOP candidate Newt Gingrich. He criticizes the Obama administration's continuing pursuit of political correctness, even if it affects the security of the country in a negative manner. I have heard others make statements like this in recent months, and I worry that there may be some truth to them. The article mentions a recent suicide bombing attempt foiled by the FBI and the Ft. Hood shootings from last year and notes that the administration fervently avoids citing any religious involvement with either of these two events. Is it true that both of these events had nothing to do with religion? Possibly. I am sure that I cannot see into the minds of these criminals. But to avoid talking about the possibility to spare feelings is a dangerous road to go down. If there was no religious involvement, then that's fine, but it is important that the dangers associated with religious extremism, regardless of affiliation, are discussed and dealt with. 


I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But I do want our elected officials to keep us safe.
