Megan McArdle claims there are no political lessons to be learned from the Fort Hood shooting. I think she’s wrong. Here are the lessons I think we’ve been taught (again).
- Political Correctness kills
- It is better to be rude than to be screwed
- If you think it was wrong for the US to free Muslims from a totalitarian dictatorship (Iraq), or from a theocratic dictatorship (Afghanistan), you are a lunatic. If you are an “American” who is a Muslim first, and an American second, and you believe those things, you are, presumptively, and enemy of the United States of America
- “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” Supporting the jihadis is Treason, and should be treated as such.
Other lessons?
