Janet Napolitano: Islamic Terrorism Not Politically Correct; Prefers To Call It "Man-Caused Disaster"

Note: re-posted from "Transylvania Phoenix" - see link at bottom -

This development is stunningly ignorant, yet entirely predictable. Any of you go to university in the last 15 years? When I did, I wasn't allowed to use the term "Frontier" because it implied, oh yes my friends, that people beyond said frontier were not as civilized as people behind said frontier.

When challenged to give me an example of a nomadic civilization that has absorbed a static one (with the temporary yet significant exception of the Mongols), the teacher could not do so, and the students never looked at her, or me, the same way ever again. That is, metaphorically, what we need to do to Osama and his socialist brown shirts - in force. To arms!...T - Thanks to Shallow Kitty for the link -

INTERVIEW WITH HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY JANET NAPOLITANO

"Away From the Politics of Fear"

Janet Napolitano, 51, is President Obama's new Homeland Security Secretary. She spoke with a reporter from the German newspaper DER SPIEGEL about immigration, the continued threat of terrorism and the changing tone in Washington.

SPIEGEL: Madame Secretary, in your first testimony to the US Congress as Homeland Security Secretary you never mentioned the word "terrorism." Does Islamist terrorism suddenly no longer pose a threat to your country?

Napolitano: Of course it does. I presume there is always a threat from terrorism. In my speech, although I did not use the word "terrorism," I referred to "man-caused" disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur. The complete interview here

Say "Liberal" and flush the toilet. Man-made disasters do exist: like the American sheeple electing a super-majority of corrupt socialist liberals in the Legislative, then electing a disciple of Saul Alinsky and friend of the domestic terrorist Bill Ayers as President of the United States of America.
