PC Kills

The Emperor is amazed at the willingness of his beloved subjects to die for political correctness. The Fort Hood massacre and the latest attempt by a Nigerian muslim to destroy an aircraft in flight highlights the problem. Despite warning signs from these individuals indicating that they intended to carry out jihad against Americans, the government was too concerned about the sensitivities of the "good" muslims to take the necessary precautions.

During the Second World War, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, many Japanese, Italians, and German citizens were placed in internment camps for the safety of American citizens. The internment camps have long been held up as an example of racism and the trampling of the rights of citizens in the name of national security. However, Japan and Germany did have spy rings, sabateurs, and enemy sympathisers in America during the war which were part of the motivation for the "profiling" of specific American immigrants.

The Niihau incident on Hawaii during the Pearl Harbor attack was an example of how quickly Japanese Americans switched allegence to their homeland when it appeared America might fall. The incident as well as the activities of the Tachibana spy ring (a group of Japanese Nationals) was cited in the US Navy reports advocating the internment of the Japanese-Americans living on the west coast.

While the Emperor believes that the internment of the Japanese was excessive it is interesting to note that the extremes the government would once go to to protect its citizens from a meager threat. Whereas today, the government is much more willing to expose its citizens to unbelievable inconvenience and even death to protect the rights of people who openly despise us and threaten us.

Rather than risk insulting muslims with "profiling" during air travel, the American people are subjected to every sort of inconvenience short of body cavity searches as they try to travel by air. Despite these endless humiliations, the government still can not protect its people. The jihadists will always find a way to thwart security procedures and policies and will cry loudly if they are subjected to anything that even hints of "profiling."

To end this madness, the Emperor hearaby declares martial law throughout the realm and subjects muslims and other known enemies of America to increased security procedures that will not be inflicted on other travelers. While this may be unfair to those muslims who are not jihadists or apologists for jihadists, it is better for them to be inconvenienced that it is for even one more American to die for Political Correctness.
