"I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and
report the facts." --Will Rogers, "Saturday Review,"
1962--
You'd just about have to be living in a cave not to
have heard the news of November 5th: "A gunman
opened fire on a soldier processing center at Ft. Hood,
killing at least 12 people and also wounding dozens of
others." (CNN, Nov. 6th.) The final count is now at 13
dead and 31 wounded.
In the last few days, several facts about the American-
born gunman--a Muslim radical by the name of Nidal
Malik Hasan--have emerged, to wit:
(1) As he stood up and began shooting, Hasan shouted
"Allahu akbar" (Arabic for "God is great"); Pvt.
Joseph Foster, who was sitting near to Hasan just prior
to the attack and was subsequently shot in the hip,
reported that "I was sitting in about the second row
back when the assailant stood up and yelled "Allahu
akbar" in Arabic and he opened fire." (CNN, Nov. 9th.)
(2) Hasan had known strong ties to radical Shariah-
style Muslim fomenters: "Hasan attended one of the most
virulently Shariah-adherent mosques in America, Fairfax
County's Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center. He publicly
expressed admiration for its one-time Imam, Anwar Al-
Awlaki--an exponent of jihad associated with two of the
perpetrators of the Sep. 11, 2001, attacks." (Washington
Times, Nov. 10th.)
(3) Hasan was known to have repeatedly used the Internet
to express his admiration for Islamic jihad: "His name
appears above radical Internet postings praising Islamic
suicide bombers," and he had said at the time of the
Arkansas Army recruiting center soldier shooting death
back in June that "Muslims should strap on suicide bombs
and detonate them in Times Square." (Timesonline, Nov.
7th.)
(4) Much of the above, and more, became known to the
U.S. intelligence community long before Hasan ever shot
up the Fort Hood processing center: "U.S. Intelligence
officials have stated publicly that Hasan had attempted
to contact Al Qaeda operatives." (Examiner.com, Nov.
10th.)
So, how is it that this murderous fanatic managed to
slip through all of our so-called "homeland security"
nets? And how is it that this terrorist ever got onto
the Ft. Hood base to begin with?
Well, that last question is easy enough to answer: Hasan
LIVED at Ft. Hood; his name, you see, is preceded by the
title of UNITED STATES ARMY MAJOR. How's that for
"security"? A rank, it is worth noting, that he was
promoted to AFTER poor performance reviews at his
internship at Walter Reed--where, his classmates are now
reporting, he was fond of spouting off that "I'm Muslim
first, American second." (Fox News, Nov. 10th.) And, for
the final corker, what field was Hasan interning in?
PSYCHIATRY.
What on earth could possibly possess our armed forces,
or our "intelligence" community, to not just ignore, but
to actually perpetrate and reward what can only be
described as sheer lunacy? The desire, burning so
brightly in the breasts of the multicultural Politically
Correct crowd, to not offend anybody.
I wonder how all of those PC morons are feeling now,
after the 13 bodies of REAL U.S. soldiers have been
lowered into their graves? Do you think they are
adjusting their views in the wake of yet another fine
example of the "culture" of Islam? Don't count on it.
But, just as surely as the oak tree sprouts from the
acorn, the tragic deaths of those brave men and women
is blood on their hands.
Have we gone so far into cultural and intellectual
bankruptcy that we would sacrifice the lives of true and
honest patriots in the name of not antagonizing
terrorists, killers and thugs? One could hardly suppose
that to be so--yet those patriots' graves are REAL, not
figments of our imaginations. But dead bodies and
spilled blood is all that the creeds of Islam and
sacrifice will ever achieve.
President Obama, in his speech during the Ft. Hood
memorial service, stated that "This is a time of war.
Yet these Americans did not die on a foreign field of
battle." (Associated Press, Nov. 10th.) No, they died
right here in America, as immolational fodder for a
cultural policy of anti-man, anti-life, anti-American
insanity--and the crosses that rise above those 13
graves are clear pointers to the true enemy: anybody
who would trash the values of liberty and individualism
for the sake of getting along with bloodthirsty savages
who merit nothing but obliteration.

McVeigh? Scott Roeder?
The Right are so usesd to having blood on their hands
they've ceased to notice.
The right in America was appalled at McVeigh and denounced him, his
actions and his sympathizers in no uncertain terms. The left in the
America, on the other hand, are very busy trying to excuse Maj. Hasan
and finding any possible reason to call *him* the victim. However, if
Hasan had cried "In the name of Jesus Christ" instead of " Allahu
Akbar" before commiting his act of terrorism, the left would be all
over it in a fantasy of a right-wing conspiracy as they were in Scott
Roeder (again, whom the right condemned in no uncertain terms).

And moderate muslims enve condemn extreme muslims?
Communism?
Tyranny?
Supression?
Removal of liberties?
Kafkaesque?
Orwellian?
Sharia?
Dominance?
.
Do they? Find in CAIR statement to this effect in re: Ft Hood.
"Unfortunately, based on past experience, we also urge American
Muslims, and those who may be perceived to be Muslim, to take
appropriate precautions to protect themselves, their families and
their religious institutions from possible backlash."
"No political or religious ideology could ever justify or excuse such
wanton and indiscriminate violence . . . American Muslim community
condemns this cowardly attack."
"Cowardly" ? That's what they have to say? The non-extreme, non-
cowardly muslims are to take better care to not kill civilians.
<< Radical Islamic cleric Zaid Shakir, a frequent guest speaker at
CAIR events, tells his Muslim audiences: "Jihad is physically fighting
the enemies of Islam to protect and advance the religion of Islam.
This is jihad."
Acceptable targets of jihad, he says, include U.S. military aircraft.
"Islam doesn't permit us to hijack airplanes filled with civilian
people," Shakir once told a Muslim audience. However, "If you hijack
an airplane filled with the 82nd Airborne, that's something else." >>

Thanks, Matt. That piece, believe it or not, was pretty popular
with the press too. Not all of our newspapers are left-wing
apologists for the terrorist-loving POS-POTUS currently
occupying the White House. Can you believe the lengths that
fool has taken to avoid calling this thing what it is?
And now he is over in Asia getting lectured on economics by
commie dictators. Man, we are in deep shit...
