THE FORT HOOD MASSACRE: MUSLIMS IN THE US ARMY or HOW POLITICAL CORRECTNESS KILLS

When the news first broke about the Fort Hood massacre, it is pure denial not to admit that deep down even before the name of the suspect was released, most Americans expected the inevitable revelation that the shooter was a Muslim. Sorry to call out the elephant in the room, but there have been enough incidents of violence against our military by the enemy within not to say it.

It is not difficult to understand the shooter Nidal Malik Hasan’s inner torture over his impending deployment. But he is not emotionally unstable, he is not crazy, and to say he is, is a copout in the name of political correctness. Hasan is not merely Muslim, he is a Muslim extremist who was about to be deployed to a region where he would be called upon to fight Muslims. For Hasan there was no conflict, his Muslim extremist id won out. Faced with the decision whether to kill Muslims or to kill Americans he made his decision. He would kill Americans.

It is easiest to blame Hasan but in the end he did what obedient Muslim extremists do, kill Americans. Hasan carried out the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil since September 11, 2001. Understand this clearly and make no mistake. It was a terrorist attack by a Muslim extremist doing what Muslim extremists are sworn by their faith to do, right down to the shouts of Allahu Akbar as he carried out his murderous act. The fact that Hasan may have acted alone also makes no difference, it was a terrorist attack which will no doubt soon be followed by the obligatory audio tape from Bin Laden or Zawahiri praising their brave jihadist brother Hasan. Fittingly this also gives us an excellent opportunity to honor our own brave soldier, Fort Hood Police Sgt. Kimberly Munley. For Muslim extremism who consider women a sub class, who customarily kill or maim women in the name of honor, it is sweet irony indeed that Hasan was taken out by Sgt. Munley, a woman who is far braver than he is and did her job better than he did. Nothing could hurt a Muslim extremist worse.

But while Hasan was the instrument of this terrorist attack, it is the orchestra pit of political correctness which allowed him to take the stage. As we have learned, Hasan demonstrated more than enough Muslim extremist behavior with his rants and internet postings which were known to the military for some time. Why then didn’t the military act sooner to stop him? Perhaps they tried. Recent history is replete with examples of our military leaders in the field who face our enemy every day, beating their heads against the political wall, handcuffed literally to death by our controlling liberal politicians, politically correcting innocent Americans into the grave. Since the Army was aware of Hasan’s Muslim extremist bent, it is difficult to believe they did not seek to take steps against him, and very easy to believe they received marching orders from on high to let him be.

While it is unthinkable to give in to over-the-top panicked methods like the herding of Japanese Americans into internment camps in 1942, it is not unthinkable, and looks more and more like simple common sense to intensify the vetting of those wishing to join our military. Terrorist attacks like Hasan’s at Fort Hood prove that the time has arrived to protect American troops by denying Muslim extremists the opportunity to become embedded in our military. Hasan was an easy spot considering his openly declared extremist behavior. One of Hasan’s classmates quoted him as saying “I’m a Muslim first and an American second. And Hasan’s closest friend whom he was mentoring in the ways of Islam said that Hasan told him not to join the army. He quoted Hasan as saying “Muslims shouldn’t be in the U.S. military because obviously Muslims shouldn’t kill Muslims.” Agreed. Hasan is correct, the time has come for the difficult decision that everyone knows must be made. Let us spare future Hasans the angst of the prospect of battling other Muslims. Hasan backed up his extremist words with actions, and showed us it is too deadly a risk when that conflict burns too deeply, pushing those who may begin as peaceful Muslim members in the American military into become our enemy within.

To understand, approach this from the other side with a little quiz:

A gentleman named Moshe Goldberg attempts to enlist in the Iranian army:
a. Moshe is welcomed in
b. Moshe is told “No Thanks”
c. Moshe is shot in the head as a spy and infiltrator right there in line

We all know the answer. RIP Moshe!

Our enemies would never take the chance of being infiltrated and neither should we. Of course in America we would never lower ourselves to the level of the lunatic regimes by choosing solution “C”. But is solution “B,” simply telling them “No Thanks” really so bad?

It is time for America to take Hasan up on his recommendation that Muslims should not serve in the U.S. military. As he showed us, political correctness kills. This is harsh. It is not nice and by no means sensitive. But the time for nice and sensitive is past. Political correctness is the handcuffs which cost American lives, and it is far better to apologize later, than to lose American lives now. For President Obama who has already made a full time occupation of apologizing for America protecting Americans, it is right up his alley anyway. Let’s make it worth his while.

The White House on Friday released a small list of visitors to the White House since President Barack Obama took office in January, including lobbyists, business executives, activists and celebrities. Under the Obama White House’s policy, most names of visitors from Inauguration Day in January through the end of September will never be released. However, the Whitehouse Blog is saying that releasing this small list “marks a major milestone in government transparency–and an important lesson in the unintended consequences of such vigorous disclosure.” “Transparency like you’ve never seen before”. read the entire blog entry here:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2009/10/30/transparency-you%E2%80%99ve-never-seen-0

Give me a break! This is the most non-transparent administration to hit Washington since Richard Nixon. The only thing transparent about this administration is the lying about being transparent. Even MSNBC has called them out on it.

So why are they not releasing the entire visitor log even though two Federal Courts have ordered them to? What could Barry and Da Boyz be hiding? Hmmm…. I’ll leave that for you to think about.

This came to me from the UK. The ease with which it was edited to fit the US speaks volumes about the state of the world we all live in.

VERSION AS ENVISIONED BY THE FOUNDING FATHERS:

The squirrel works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building and improving his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the squirrel is warm and well fed.

The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

THE END

THE 2009 USA VERSION:

The squirrel works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the squirrel is warm and well fed.

A social worker finds the shivering grasshopper, calls a press conference and demands to know why the squirrel should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate, like the grasshopper, are cold and starving.

CNN, MSNBC and ABC news show up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper; with cuts to a video of the squirrel in his comfortable warm home with a table laden with food.

The mainstream media inform people that they should be ashamed that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so, while others have plenty.

The ACLU, Greenpeace, Animal Rights and The Grasshopper Council of USA demonstrate in front of the squirrel’s house.

CNN, MSNBC and ABC news, interrupting a cultural festival special from San Fransisco with breaking news, broadcasts a multi cultural choir singing “We Shall Overcome”.

Nancy Pelosi rants in an interview with The Huffington Post that the squirrel got rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the squirrel to make him pay his “fair share” and increases the charge for squirrels to enter New York City.

In response to pressure from the media, the Government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The squirrel’s taxes are reassessed.

He is taken to court and fined for failing to hire grasshoppers as builders for the work he was doing on his home and an additional fine for contempt when he told the court the grasshopper did not want to work.

The grasshopper is provided with a public housing, financial aid to furnish it and an account with a local taxi firm to ensure he can be socially mobile. The squirrel’s food is seized and re distributed to the more needy members of society, in this case the grasshopper.

Without enough money to buy more food, to pay the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, the squirrel has to downsize and start building a new home.

The city takes over his old home and utilises it as a temporary home for asylum seeking cats who had hijacked a plane to get to the USA as they had to share their country of origin with mice. On arrival they tried to blow up the airport because of the US’s apparent love of dogs.

The cats had been arrested for the international offence of hijacking and attempted bombing but were immediately released because the police fed them pilchards instead of salmon whilst in custody.

Initial moves to then return them to their own country were abandoned because it was feared they would face death by the mice. The cats devise and start a scam to obtain money from people’s credit cards.

A CNN special shows the grasshopper finishing up the last of the squirrel’s food, though spring is still months away, while the council house he is in, crumbles around him because he hasn’t bothered to maintain the house.

He is shown to be taking drugs. Inadequate government funding is blamed for the grasshopper’s drug ‘illness’.

The cats seek recompense in the supreme court for their treatment since arrival in USA.

The grasshopper gets arrested for stabbing an old dog during a burglary to get money for his drugs habit. He is imprisoned but released immediately because he has been in custody for a few weeks.

He is placed in the care of the probation service to monitor and supervise him. Within a few weeks he has killed a guinea pig in a botched robbery.

A commission of enquiry, that will eventually cost $100,000,000 and state the obvious, is set up.

Additional money is put into funding a drug rehabilitation scheme for grasshoppers and legal aid for lawyers representing asylum seekers is increased.

The asylum-seeking cats are praised by the government for enriching the USA’s multicultural diversity and dogs are criticised by the government for failing to befriend the cats.

The grasshopper dies of a drug overdose. The usual sections of the press blame it on the obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social inequity and his traumatic experience of prison.

They call for the resignation of a senator.

The cats are paid a million pounds each because their rights were infringed when the government failed to inform them there were mice in the United States.

The squirrel, the dogs and the victims of the hijacking, the bombing, the burglaries and robberies have to pay an additional percentage on their credit cards to cover losses, their taxes are increased to pay for law and order and they are told that they will have to work beyond 65 because of a shortfall in government funds.

This video is a must watch! It really delves into WHY Obama is such an empty suit and a danger to this country.

I just read a column entitled Peace prize not worth the fight printed in the Daily Commercial (Leesburg, Florida) and I had to laugh. There I was all ready to take him to task until I finished the column and found that other than the word fight appearing in its title, he never really claimed that conservatives have mounted an actual fight over Obama’s Nobel Prize, and that more likely than not, the column was meant in humor. Ya got me!

Yes, conservatives have certainly been abuzz with their opinions about Obama’s Noble prize being an empty award, but no one has actually considered it to be enough of blip on anyone’s radar to actually fight it or mount an effort to have it withdrawn and such. In fact many liberals and even Obama himself have not denied that they find themselves equally bewildered at the award. To that end, I do think it’s a bit unfair to classify the bewilderment at Obama’s prize as “conniptions by the right-wing crank community” without taking an equal look at the conniptions of the “left-wing crank community.” Let us look the history of the past few weeks for some comparisons and see just who has been having the conniptions.

When Joe Wilson blurted out his “liar” comment during the President’s speech, didn’t the left-wing crank community go berserk? To be sure, Wilson’s shouting out “liar” during the speech was clearly disrespectful and violated the decorum that should be afforded any president during an address to the nation, though I suppose if he had shouted the words “that’s not true” it wouldn’t have raised much of an eyebrow. Those words essentially say the same thing as “liar,” but the word “liar” is admittedly a far more personal characterization, and is out of line. But at least Wilson quickly apologized.

Yet despite Wilson’s apology the democrats/liberals actually took up congress’ time and energy, seeking formal resolutions and censures – an actual formal, official, organized left-wing partisan movement in congress over what amounted to nothing more than a single split second inappropriate rude comment.

Ah, but then came Alan Grayson and his incendiary comments about Republicans “wanting you to die quickly,” and comparing healthcare in America to the Holocaust. And not only did Grayson refuse to apologize, he has continued with one more despicable comment after another, day after day. When asked if the Republican’s intended to seek the same kind of censures for Grayson as the Democrats did for Wilson, the Republican leadership said no, and other than a few head shakes and eye rolls, just shrugged off Grayson and his self marginalizing oral flatulence with barely a nod.

Given the partisan reactions to both the Wilson and Grayson episodes I would ask you which party behaved like the “crank community having conniptions?”

Now having said all this, you probably think I’m sitting here doing my version of a victorious NFL end zone celebration having just pinned Reg Henry with my dazzling display of “Gotcha.” Worry not Reg, I’m not that naive either. When it comes to political hypocrisy, I’m well aware that neither party has the corner on that market over the other, the tradition is grand on the part of both Democrats and Republicans, and liberals and conservatives. At best, this little “gotcha” of mine probably doesn’t even make the greatest hits album – it’s simply current.

What this humorous article does do though is further illustrate that the ever widening schism between liberal and conservative ideology will not soon close. To this end, for your enjoyment I’d like to share with you my own humorous Mythical Proposition from Conservatives to Liberals. It’s just a little something I started awhile ago, that I keep up dating from time to time. Yes it has a conservative slant, guilty as charged, but that’s because I’m a conservative, but that shouldn’t stop a liberal from enjoying it too.

Stripping the good sheriff Joe Arpaio of his ICE authority makes perfectly good sense.

The way the health care bill was written, illegal aliens were not specifically “excluded”, therefore, under federal law and several court decisions, they are automatically included. When Obama stated that the health care bill did not even mention illegal aliens, he stated the absolute truth. It did not mention them in way, shape or form.

If your plan is to convert 90% of a group into Democrats, what better way is there then to give them health care, then give them amnesty, and then argue in a liberal court that they deserve to have a vote, even if they are not citizens, because the system is disenfranchising them.

If you recall, ACORN and some other groups in San Francisco were signing up non-citizens on voter registration drives, and when the Republicans asked that voters have to show identification, there was hell to pay because they were being racist and trying to suppress the vote.

Personally, I am waiting for some liberal federal judge to decide that illegals have MORE right to vote than I do because as a white male of European descent, I am assumed to be racist, and therefore, unworthy to vote. My vote should be reduced to a half vote. In this way, the illegals can take over and justice can be served. They can also increase my taxes to pay for the slavery reparations.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW, OR DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!?!?

The United States Supreme Court has begun hearing a case on whether a memorial cross honoring First World War soldiers violates the American constitution.

Mojave Cross in Mojave National Preserve, California

The cross – in California – has been covered up in recent years following federal court rulings that it amounts to government endorsement of religion which is prohibited by the constitution.

Some campaigners want the memorial removed because they say it favours Christianity over other religions.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars put the cross on public land more than 70 years ago in the Mojave National Preserve as a memorial to fallen World War One service members.

The cross was covered in recent years after a federal court ruled it violates the Constitution’s First Amendment, which prohibits government endorsement of religion.

Congress previously intervened in the case by designating the cross as a national memorial. Lawmakers also passed legislation to transfer the desert land where the cross is located to private ownership in an attempt to resolve the issue — but a court objected to that move.

The VFW and other veterans groups contend that if the Supreme Court rules against the cross, bulldozers across the country will soon be annihilating other war memorials, such as Arlington National Cemetery’s Argonne Cross Memorial and Canadian Cross of Sacrifice, as well as crosses on headstones and elsewhere.

If the ACLU is correct — if the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is correct — then the crosses that stand on Arlington Cemetery … must be torn down as well. And that is an extreme and radical view, and it is not consistent with the Constitution of the United States.

Where does it stop?

If the ACLU wins this one, they’re going to go after all these monuments including Arlington and Gettysburg. The ACLU has declared ‘War on America’.

Religious symbols like the cross were part of normal life for America’s Founding Fathers, who believed that morality should be nurtured by government.

The founders believed that without a moral citizenry, they would not be able to sustain a self-governing republic. The notion that you could get a moral citizenry without reliance on religion was preposterous.

These may be next if the ACLU gets its’ way:

The Episcopal-run, but nondenominational, Church of the Transfiguration in the Grand Tetons provides solace for travelers.

The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the City and Diocese of Washington, known as the Washington National Cathedral, is an Episcopal cathedral in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. It is a listed monument on the National Register of Historic Places and the designated “National House of Prayer” of the United States.

In 2007, it was voted one of the three most beautiful buildings in the United States in a survey by the American Institute of Architects.

The cathedral was built by the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation under a charter granted by Congress on January 6, 1893. Construction began in 1907, when the foundation stone was laid in the presence of President Theodore Roosevelt, and lasted for 83 years; the last finial was placed in the presence of President George H. W. Bush in 1990. The Foundation operates and funds the cathedral, which does not receive any federal or local government funding.

When will it end?

I recently sent our Congressjerk Paul Kanjerkski an email asking a very simple yes or no question. The question I posed was “Do you feel that Congress should be required to accept the same health insurance plans you are proposing for the public?” Here is the response I received today:

October 7, 2009

Mr. Richard Szabo
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dear Mr. Szabo:

Thank you for informing me of your support for requiring Members of Congress to join the public health insurance option if health care reform legislation becomes law. I appreciated hearing from you on this important issue.

Obtaining health insurance at an affordable price has increasingly become a major concern for many American families. From my perspective, health care costs for everyone will decrease when everyone has health insurance. Too many of the estimated 47 million Americans without insurance rely on trips to the emergency room when they are very sick rather than see a doctor routinely to stay well. Despite our lack of universal coverage, Americans spend more per capita on health care than any other major industrialized nation. Approximately 17% of our Gross Domestic Product is spent on health care, or about $2.5 trillion each year.

The expense of providing health insurance benefits to workers has become one of the most pressing concerns for employers. Small businesses especially struggle to provide health insurance for their employees, and we should work to make this coverage more affordable. Small businesses currently employ about half of working Americans, yet an estimated 27 million of the 47 million uninsured Americans are small business owners and their employees.

We must also work to ensure that Medicare continues to provide seniors and the disabled with comprehensive care, while making minor adjustments to the program. I believe that seniors should receive a streamlined, affordable prescription drug benefit directly through Medicare just as they do for traditional hospital and physician coverage. In addition, we should work to eliminate the coverage gap in the program, known as the “donut hole”. Medicare should also be able to negotiate with drug companies for better prices the way the VA currently does. These changes would help bring down costs for seniors.

As you may know, the Congress is currently considering legislation to reform our health care system. In the House of Representatives, Congressman John Dingell of Michigan introduced H.R. 3200, the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act on July 14, 2009. Among its many provisions, this legislation would make reforms to insurance coverage like requiring insurers to provide coverage for pre-existing conditions; would create a voluntary government-run insurance plan; would establish a health insurance exchange to provide information about plans available in a certain area; and would improve the Medicare prescription drug program by closing the donut hole.

The three committees of jurisdiction have reviewed H.R. 3200 and each committee has made changes to it. These changes will ultimately have to be reconciled into one bill before the House of Representatives can vote on it. Please know that I am currently reviewing H.R. 3200 and the changes proposed by these committees.

In addition, committees in the Senate are also crafting health care reform legislation which differs significantly from H.R. 3200. As a result, members from the House and Senate will likely have to engage in a conference committee to resolve any differences between a House-passed bill and a Senate-passed bill. I expect that any bill which reaches the President’s desk for signature will be significantly different from the legislation introduced in the House of Representatives.

As you may know, there is much confusion about the health care reform legislation. In order to provide individuals with accurate information, I have posted documents about H.R. 3200 on my website at http://kanjorski.house.gov. In addition, I recently held a telephone town meeting about health care reform and the audio recording of this meeting is also available on my website. I hope you will review this information and continue to share your thoughts on this matter.

Again, thank you for contacting me. Please feel free to call, write or email me again on this or any issue that concerns you.

Sincerely,

Paul E. Kanjorski
Member of Congress

I cannot guarantee the integrity of the text of this letter if it was not sent to you directly from my Congressional Email Account: If you have any questions about the validity of this message, please call my Washington, DC office at: 202-225-6511. Please note, this mailbox is unattended. Please do not reply. If you wish to email me again, please click on–“Contact Me“.

So where is the simple “yes” or “no” answer? Hmmmmm?

This guy is a good soldier and following all the talking points. Never ANSERING a question. I’m disgusted!
