What's with Rubio's stand against Michele Bachmann?

Who can believe this attack on Michele Bachmann by prominent members of her own party?  What can we do to support her?  So far it looks to me as if she is right on target.

Nope- Rubio Doesn’t Get It Either

Question- would Rubio be taking a similar position if Abedin was Cuban and had family members with close ties to the Communist regime of Fidel Castro?

Rubio Sides Against Bachmann, Rooney Regarding Huma Abedin’s Possible Ties to Terrorism

July 22, 2012 | Filed under: Florida Review,Marco Rubio | Posted by: Javier Manjarres

By Javier Manjarres
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s recent letter to the Department of State expressing her concerns about the possible infiltration of radical Islam throughout the federal government has received pushback from moderate Republican senators John McCain and Scott Brown.
McCain called Bachmann’s letter “scurrilous” and full of “sinister accusations,” and categorized the questioned raised about Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin as “nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable citizen, a dedicated American and a loyal public servant.”  You can read Bachmann’s letter here.  Predictably, the Palm Beach Post is raising the specter of “McCarthyite tactics” being used by Rooney for simply signing the document. 
Perhaps somewhat more surprisingly, Senator Marco Rubio has waded into this controversy and has sided with his Senate colleagues against Bachmann and Florida Congressman Tom Rooney, who has also signed Bachmann’s letter.  Senator Rubio responded to the Shark Tank’s request for further comment by stating, “I stand by my statements.”

Was Pogo right? Are we killing ourselves and our Nation with Political Correctness?

America’s worst enemy

BY COACH COLLINS, ON JULY 21ST, 2012

By Jim Emerson, staff writer

“We have met the enemy… and he is us” …Walt Kelly

America’s greatest enemy is willful ignorance; or is that willful political correctness. 

On November 5, 2009, Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan, an American Muslim of Palestinian descent, opened fire on unarmed soldiers and their families at the Fort Hood Soldier’s Readiness Processing Center. They were there to receive routine medical treatment immediately prior to and on return from deployments. The Major who was wounded during the action became paralyzed from a gunshot wound. He is currently awaiting trial by court-martial for 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder. His trial date is August 20.  An additional count of murder of unborn child under the Unborn Victims of Violence Act and Article 119a of the Uniform Code of Military Justice has not been filed at this time. We can only suspect why.

Political correctness

A report released by former FBI Director William Webster blames the FBI for not acting on information about an Army officer having regular communication with known terrorists. Webster reported that the FBI looked away from a genuine threat to fellow soldiers.  Did the FBI fail to act in a professional manner because they didn’t want to be seen as targeting an American Muslim?

The FBI and the Army had all of the indicators that Maj. Hasan was a ticking time bomb but did not act because of political correctness. Because of their fecklessness people got killed. When you are afraid to point out the enemy you become the enemy. Far too often political correctness is willful ignorance. The White House classifying this terrorist act as “workplace violence” comes to mind.

Hillary Clinton’s top aide, Huma Abedin has an interesting family history.   Her late father, mother and brother had and still have connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, yet it seems that being close to Hilary Miss Abedin aka Mrs. Anthony Weiner, had no problem getting a security clearance in spite of her family connections. There is a legitimate concern that Huma may have influenced State Department policy concerning the Brotherhood led revolts in Egypt, Libya and Syria.

Five members of Congress lead by Michele Bachmann (R-MN) have called on the Inspectors General of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice and the Department of State to investigate the possible involvement of the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. Government.  Rep. Bachmann must be over the target because she is catching flak from the Kool-aid drinkers sipping from the well of Political correctness. What the politicians don’t have the courage to say that if the CIA had someone similar to Huma’s position within the Russian Foreign Ministry they would call her a well-placed spy.
