P-C Portland encounters Terror

In 2005, out of concern for the civil rights of its residents, Portland, Oregon’s city council refused to take part in the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Friday night, the FBI prevented a massive terror attack from taking place at Portland’s crowded tree-lighting ceremony.

This event attests to the potential disastrous consequences of Portland’s politically correct decision.

The city must now ask itself: Was forgoing security in exchange for civil liberty a wise decision? Was it correct to be politically correct?
