It Is A Failure Of Empathy
"We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy {understanding, sympathy, compassion} on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair."
Is this man (Obama) for real? Osama bin Laden's murderous legions are plenty able to "imagine" the "suffering of others." Go watch an al Qaeda beheading video on Google or surf You-Tube
While you watch it please tell me if these terrorist were trained in the suffering of infidels and please tell me if it is covered in Their Basic Jihadist Training. I'll repeat again what Obama said in the week after the 9/11 attack was to identify and make it out as a "tragedy" stemming from lack of "empathy" and "understanding"–instead of yet another deliberate, carefully planned evil act of the long-waged Islamic war on the West that it was. What was there to understand about the killing of three thousand people. What is there to understand about the attack on the USS Cole and the marine barrack in Lebanon? What about the soldiers and the pregnant women and all the people that were wounded and killed at Fort hood, Texas?
As for Obama's continued delusion about the "climate of poverty and ignorance" that supposedly breeds Muslim terrorists, can our great politicians ever rid their selves of this unreality-based crap? That is exactly what it is "Crap" This belief is part of the same absurdity and stupid silliness that lead the State Department to embrace and cuddle the Muslim world and the same reason President Bush opened up our aviation schools to more Saudi students to "improve understanding." John McCain also said education was the cure for Islamic terrorism when he was at the L.A. World Affairs Council in March, when he declared that "In this struggle, scholarships will be far more important than smart bombs." (really) Just what we need: more student visas for that jihadist-infested nation that sent us most of the 9/11 hijackers. This kind of thinking will only bring us more of the same results in the very near future. When is our government going to wake up to the fact that these people want to kill us. When are they going to wake up to the fact these people do not want for us to befriend them or to be their buddies. They want to kill us. They despise everything that this country stands for. Wake up Mr. Obama and the rest of you liberals in congress. Smell the coffee! These Muslim terrorist have only one thing on their mind. That is to kill the infidel. This has been the same way for thousands of years and it will only get worse until we take a more firm stand against it.
There's plenty of genuine documented evidence out there (you only have to look) that would debunk Obama's way of thinking. If you will look and read you will find that the most ruthless 'extremists are those fanatics, better known as terrorist, who have lived in the United States and England, have been most exposed to the west and western education: from Osama bin Laden (summer school at Oxford and Mohammed Atta Hamburg University urban planning student) to the London School of Economics graduate
responsible for the beheading of Daniel Pearl. The idea that handing out college scholarships to young Saudi males and getting them hooked on Starbucks and car-chase movies will make this stuff go away is ridiculous and unworthy of a president or a senator of this country. Politics will never solve this problem. This was proved in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and now Afghanistan. We must un tie the hands of our military and let them do the job they were trained to do. Let them win! It is sad when a country will send a young soldier to be shot at and maybe killed, but tie their hands so they cannot fight back properly. A government has two choices. They can refrain from sending any soldiers at all or they can send soldiers to do a job and when they do: do not put no handcuffs on them. Turn them loose and give them what they need to win!
Ayman al-Zawahiri did not need any more education or wealth to guide him away from Islamic imperialism. He has a medical degree. So does the former Hamas terrorist Abdel Rantissi. Seven upper-middle-class jihadist doctors were mixed up in the 2007 London/Glasgow bombings. Suspected al Qaeda scientist Affia Siddiqui, still wanted by the FBI for questioning, is a Pakistani who studied microbiology at MIT and did graduate work in neurology at Brandeis.
And as I've said several times before and I will say again to the hard of hearing, politicians, in Washington, reducing the academic standards of our colleges helped the al Qaeda mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed further the jihadist cause. In the early 1980s, he enrolled at the small Chowan College in Murfreesboro, N.C., which had dropped its English requirements to attract wealthy Middle Easterners. (big mistake)At Chowan, Mohammed bonded and had ties with other Muslim foreign students known as "The Mullahs" because of their religious zeal. Mohammed then transferred to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, where he earned his degree in mechanical engineering along with 30 other Muslims. Mohammed applied his Western learning to oversee the 1993 World Trade Center bombing plot (six Americans dead), the U.S.S. Cole attack (17 American soldiers dead), and the September 11 attacks (3,000 dead). He has also been linked to the 1998 African-embassy bombings (212 dead, including 12 Americans), the plot to kill the pope, the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl, and the Bali nightclub bomb blast that killed nearly 200 tourists, including two more Americans.
Perhaps the bleeding-heart Obama thinks a master's degree in social work would have convinced poverty-stricken, helpless, ignorant, despairing Mohammed to change his mind? Maybe if these terrorist could have got just a little bit more education that they would have had more understanding and would not have killed those three thousand people. What we have here (according to Obama) is a failure to communicate? What do you think? I think that the best way to communicate with these people (the terrorist) is to wipe them off the face of the earth before they do the same thing to us. Let them know that we will fight them on our streets, we will fight them in our churches, we will fight them in our government, we will fight them from shore to shore, and we will take the fight to them until there is not a threat anymore. The day of giving them ice cream and loli pops is over.
No Mr. Obama it is not a failure of empathy as you say, but it is a failure of your government and some past governments to realize what these jihadist are all about. The destruction of the free world as we know it. If we had that mind set in world war two, as Obama has now, we would be speaking Japanese and German. We would be bowing before the emperor and walking the German goose step as we haled Hitler. We need leaders who will realize these people want to destroy us and there is no amount of empathy that will stop that.

"WE NOTICED"
President Obama:
Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define September 11 as a National Service Day. Sir, it's time we had a talk.........
During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery of our tradition of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of Allegiance was spoken. You, out of four people on the stage, were the only one not honoring our tradition.
YES, "We noticed."
During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that you intended to visit all 57 states.
We all know that Islam, not America has 57 states.
YES, "We noticed."
When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto the pile without leaning over.
YES, "We noticed."
Every time you apologized to other countries for America's position on an issue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this great country. When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and our beliefs, you have not defended us. In fact, you insulted the British Crown beyond belief.
YES, "We noticed."
When your pastor of 20 years, "God-damned America " and said that 9/11 was " America's chickens coming home to roost" and you denied having heard recriminations of that nature, we wondered how that could be. You later disassociated yourself from that church and Pastor Wright because it was politically expedient to do so.
YES, "We noticed."
When you announced that you would transform America , we wondered why.. With all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth. Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, "if not for America and the people who built her, you wouldn't be sitting in the White House now." Prior to your election to the highest office in this Country, you were a senator from Illinois and from what we can glean from the records available, not a very remarkable one.
YES, "We noticed."
All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for the positions for which you appointed them. Worse than that, the majority of them are people who, like you, bear no special allegiance, respect, or affection for this country and her traditions.
YES, "We noticed."
You are 9 months into your term and every morning millions of Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance reform package that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt this nation.
YES, "We noticed."
We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are not in favor of these crippling expenditures and we are labeled "un-American","racist", "mob". We wonder how we are supposed to let you know how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seem isolated and insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans had the right to speak out.
YES, "We noticed."
On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, only Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we are Americans.
And YES, "We noticed."
There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could help unite this nation. In six months you have done more to destroy this nation than the attack on 9/11. You have failed us.
YES, "We noticed."
September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You propose to make 9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report your proposal as what it is...a disgrace.
YES, "We noticed."
You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office that you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits and policy.
YES, "We noticed.."
We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you. When Americans come together again, it will be to remove you from office.

OBAMA BOWS- But The World Refuses to Bow Back
The Democrats are having a problem passing a health care bill in the Senate (though somehow a lot of sick people are still being cared for), and those good jobs will have to wait, for the December "jobs summit" to think of ways to stop the rise of unemployment. Whether the rise of the oceans has begun to slow is unclear to me because they look the same; we had a cool summer and a warm fall here on the Eastern Shore. It was great! As for the planet beginning to heal, well, that's not clear to me either. Obama evidently expected that his election would change not only America's image in the world but the policies of nations both friendly and unfriendly. In addressing the fall of the Berlin Wall, on videotape, he made no mention of Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher, Lech Walesa or John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev or Vaclav Havel, but cited as a world-changing event his own election in the United States 19 years later.
Obama has said, more than once, that all the world's nations have common interests, (there is that one world government thing again) and during his campaign he made very plain and obvious his was willing to meet with leaders of enemy countries in order to reach agreements. His idea seemed to be that his own eloquence, his training as a community organizer, his talent and skills using a teleprompter and his own pattern would make the blinded eyes of our enemies to see the light and make possible for them to see that it was in their interest to do what he would like. So far, not so good. He needs a new speech. The mullahs of Iran have consented to some kind of negotiations and discussions on their disagreements with the United States, but like many of their agreements of the past, they turned out to be no agreement or settlement of the issues at all.
Ahmadinejad ( the nut cake in Iran) and the mullahs have proved no more moveable by Obama's Soothing soft talk and polite tones than by George W. Bush's Texas twang. Nor have we made any visible or apparent progress on settling problems between Israel and the Palestinians. Obama's wants and insist on a stop to the natural growth of Israeli settlements. There will be no new spare rooms for grandma or the new baby . No wonder the Israelis are so distrustful of Obama. Everything with Obama is one sided. Why would anybody want to call fighting people who want to kill and behead us a overseas contingency operation. Call it what it is: Terrorism against this country!
Look at Obama's one-sided and unilateral concession to the Russians, the leaving behind and doing away with the missile defense plans in Poland and the Czech Republic and for what? For the promise from The Russian President that sanctions against Iran may someday be necessary. What a bargain! What a winner! Despite Obama's refusal to meet the Dalai Lama, The Chinese and the leaders of India, have shown no willingness to damage or harm their growing economy by raising energy prices to stop the global warming that will supposedly bring a disaster 50 years from now. So what now?
Obama's election was indeed a major event, as the election of every American president is, and the election of our first African-American president was a landmark and a ground-breaking marker in our history, But it didn't change the world nor will it. He still is a man.
All nations may have the same interests in some sense or fashion. But all the nations' leaders don't. Bush did not cause all our foreign policy problems, and Obama's ascending to the throne and his policy of appeasement and pacification don't seem to be solving the overseas problems either. A weak president and a liberal congress spell "TROUBLE".

A Criminal or A Terrorist
The list of choices made by Obama during the first year of his presidency is mind-boggling, but nothing look more like absolute lunacy and madness than the decision to try foreign terrorists, who have committed acts of war against the United States, in the courts of this land, as if these terrorist were American citizens accused of crimes. These people have no rights in this country. It is, in my opinion and the opinion of most Americans, plain madness on the government's part. When is what the American people think going to count for anything with Obama and his followers? Terrorists are not even allowed or permitted to have the protection of the Geneva Convention, much less the protection of The Constitution of the United States. Terrorists have never observed, nor even claimed to have observed, the Geneva Convention, nor are they among those covered by it. They also do not recognize the laws of the United States or our constitution in which Obama wants to try them. If it is not Muslim law then it is not recognized by them. But over and above the utter inconsistency of what is being done is the utter carelessness and irresponsibility it is a symbol of. We are at war with these people. They want to kill us. They want their rule of law not ours. In their eyes we are the enemy. We are the infidel. The last time an attack on the World Trade Center was treated as a matter of domestic crime, was after a bomb was set off there in 1993. Under the rules of American criminal law, the prosecution had to turn over all sorts of information to the defense lawyers. This was information that told the terrorist what we knew about them and how we knew it, making it much harder to catch them the next time they conduct an act of war against this country. Now how is that being smart? How can you win a war by doing this? By doing this one might ask the question: "How far did this set us back on our war against terror?"
Secrecy and silence in the time of a war is of great importance. It is a matter of life and death. People's lives and those of their families hang in the balance. Sad to say, the Obama administration wants to avoid seeing acts of terrorism against the United States for what they truly are, acts of war. The very term or expression "war on terrorism" is steered clear of by Obama and his socialist friends.. You will never hear the words come out of their mouth. Why not call it what it is? What is wrong with that? Criminal laws of this country are not designed for the purpose of trying war criminals. That is the reason why we have military courts. There is a big difference between the two. How many Americans will forfeit their lives for the intelligence secrets and methods that will be forced to be disclosed to Al Qaeda if these people are tried in a criminal court?. This could put our whole nation and other nations in peril. Does this man even care what happens to our nation and to the free world. Was there mention of how many foreign nations and individuals whose cooperation with us in the war on terror have been involved in countering Al Qaeda or how many foreign nations and Individuals will have to think twice or three times now, before cooperating with us again, when their role can be revealed in court to our enemies, who can, with that information, exact revenge on them with suicide bombing and other acts of terror. What is Obama's real agenda here? We need someone who can make real decisions and not a community organizer bent on destroying our country with his teleprompter mentality. Whose side is he on?
Behind this decision by Barrack Husain Obama and his attorney general is the idea that we have to exhibit our good faith to other nations. Internationally, the law of the jungle ultimately prevails, despite goody-goody talk about "the international community" and "world opinion," or the arrogant and corrupt charade called the United Nations. You know, the group of people located in the New York sewer. What a sham. Yet this is what Barack Obama has been cuddling up to after becoming president of the United States. The dumbness of a trial for terrorists in federal court for an act of war and the international wide-reaching advertising podium that it will give the terrorist it may seem to like a small thing, to some people, that Obama, once again, has been photographed again bowing to a overseas leader. As a private citizen, Barack Husain Obama has a right to make as big a jackass of himself as he wants to. But, as president of the United States, his actions, and the way he deals with people not only belittle a nation that other nations rely on for survival and their continued existence, but it also raises questions and uncertainty about how reliable and dependable our judgment and resolve are which in turn raises questions about whether those nations will consider, and start thinking that they are better off to make the best deal they can with our enemies. We only have to survive a little over three years of this and maybe by then most people in this country will see the light and get this man out from the highest office in our land and he will go back to what he is good at: Being a community Organizer.

Knife Owners Beware!
tried to pass a new law passed on the definition of switchblades and gravity knives that would basically outlaw a bulk of the pocket and hunting knives used in this country every day. It was defeated. The definition that was proposed would have reclassified any knife that could be opened with one hand as a switchblade in federal law. The action would have banned the importation of such knives, and because most state and local laws regarding knives use the federal definitions for local enforcement, the move would have successfully banned roughly 80 percent of the folding knives sold in the U.S. First Guns, now knifes, what is next? You can be sure that this is not going to be the only attempt to ban knifes. Hear a little and there a little and your right to own a pen knife, that you can carry in your pocket, or purse, or owning a hunting knife will be gone. In a few years the ownership of pen knives and hunting knifes will be the same as it is now with the ownership of fire arms. Defeating the proposal was the result of a grassroots effort by knife owners, The American Tool and Knife Institute and support by many outdoor recreation groups. That effort, by these groups of Americans convinced Congress that the proposed new law would be overly restrictive and it would not add much, if anything at all, to our national security. Let's face facts. The illegals that are coming across our border use the knife as weapon of choice, most of the time, when committing a crime. That is a fact, it is not profiling. This is not saying that they are the only group of people who use a knife to commit a crime. The U.S. customs know this, so to try to stop the problem they wanted a law that would stop this. The honest law abiding citizens of this country would once again pay the price. I commend the U.S. Customs in their effort to stop crime by the use of knifes, guns, or by any other means, but once again, the government is going about it in the wrong way. Sometimes I wonder how we ever elected people into office or give them government jobs the way they think.
Removing the proposal of this new law from the appropriations bill (FY2010 Homeland Security Appropriations Bill) was the right move because it allows workers and outdoor enthusiasts to choose the tools that work best for them. It doesn't take much imagination to visualize many situations in which one would have only one free hand with which to open a knife when one was needed. Nearly all knifes that are sold now have a small knob on the side of the blade that helps in opening the knife. This will not stop the government because they will only try some other, back door way, of outlawing most knifes. What is next? The hunter's mussel loader or his bow and arrow? How long before they start on baseball bats?
The 1958 Switchblade Act which was enacted during a time of fear that was based on over-the-top portrayal of street gangs being armed with switchblades. Other than simple pandering to fear, it's difficult to imagine a reason to ban any type of knife simply because of the way one opens the blade; is a switchblade inherently more dangerous than one that must be opened with two hands? Knives are dangerous in the hands of dangerous people, so are firearms, regardless of how they're opened or used. Laws should address the actions of people, not tools they choose to misuse.

GUN CONTROL LAWS - And The Paper They Are Written on
What turnip truck did this man fall off? Put him back in the turnip patch. Was it Hasan's love for guns or his love for a radical religion that caused him to kill. Anyone that has just the smallest amount of sense will tell you that it was not his love for guns, but his belief in radical Islam that caused him to commit these murders.
Well spoken Thomas Paine!

LZ X-ray , Vietnam .
He's not Medi Vac, so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway. Even after the Medi Vac were ordered not to come. He's coming anyway. And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board. Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses. And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times! He took about 30 of you and your buddies out who would never have gotten out.

Acts Of Terrorism
But Fort Hood, in the opinion of most Americans, is not one of them. When a man e-mails an al-Qaida recruiter in Yemen, someone who enlist others for the jihadist cause at least 15 times, and then cries out "Allahu Akbar" (god is great) while gunning down unarmed innocent people, it is plain to be seen, the facts are there: Hasan is a terrorist, a jihadist. So tell me why does Obama have difficulty accepting that? What is his problem? You never win a war by being killed and maimed. You win the war by killing and maiming the other guy. That was a hard statement but it is the truth.
Obama has ordered that the words "war on terror" be replaced with "overseas contingency operations," and used instead of calling it what it really is. "A WAR ON TERROR" I have no problem calling it what it is and most Americans do not either. Obama calls the killings in Fort Hood Texas "a crime against our nation." President Obama, wake up! It was an act of terror, an act of war, against this nation, plain and simple. In theory, you could call the massacre murder of innocent people at Fort Hood a crime. But the reason was instinctively jihad, the Muslim holy war. So if you want to be straightforward and tell the truth, the Fort Hood mass murders was an act of terrorism to further their objective: the destruction and obliteration of people who do not believe in Islam. Hasan is not a nut cake. He is a is a person who hates anybody that is a infidel and does not believe the way he does .
Americans are at jeopardy and in danger because Muslim terrorists want to kill us. We have to have that mind set and let it sink in. That doesn't mean most Muslims subscribe to jihad, but it does mean the problem is entirely and absolutely Muslim. It does not come from any other group of people or religion. These acts will happen over and over again until Obama and his administration call it what it is and do more about it other than be counted "Present" There is no hugging the fence, you cannot be luke warm, you are either hot or cold.
It is good that Obama and his socialist friends wants to win the Muslim world over. But he'll never do it by avoiding the truth. He will never do it by being counted present. He should be asking the decent Muslims to help us to crush the terrorists in our midst. Calling the clear act of terrorism at Fort Hood a tragic crime is soft soaping the act and at its best is just being "political correct". We must tell Obama and his "politically correct" politicians to correctly define murderous acts of these juiced up jihadist. Call it what it is. What Obama is calling crime is not acceptable in this very dangerous world. He needs to call it what it is, TERRORISM

MEN – Make sure You Have Your Miranda Card – before you hit the beach!
This decision is not only foolish, but founded on a denial or the Obama administration to face the fact that what we are caught up with here is a war with people who follow a religiously-based ideology that calls on them to kill us, and to return instead to the mindset that prevailed before Sept. 11 that acts like the first World Trade Center bombing, the attacks on our embassies in Africa and other such acts can and should be treated as conventional crimes and tried in civilian courts. The sad fact is these are not crimes but acts of terror and war. There is a big difference here. By bringing terror suspects into New York, the Obama administration is risking turning the city into "the center and focal point of trouble in the form of murder and more terrorist acts by fanatic followers of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed."
There is also the possible intelligence secrets will be exposed as part of the legal proceedings in a civilian Court. This should never happen. The American people should not sit down and not say a word about the reckless undermining of this nations security by the Obama administration and his attorney general Eric Holder.
The decision by Obama's Justice Department to bring terror suspects into the U.S. and put them on trial in New York City will raise the danger level for that city and all Americans. What this administration fails to do is see this as what it is: TERRORISM. They will not even say the word. Having these trails in New York City is giving the terrorist just what they want: A outlet to promote and spur more terrorism in this country.
The Obama administration has ordered the FBI and CIA to inform terrorists that are caught in foreign that they "have the right to remain silent" before probing them for information that will save American lives. What is going on here? According to report in The Weekly Standard, a senior Republican on the House Intelligence Committee has revealed that "the Obama Justice Department has quietly ordered FBI agents to read Miranda rights to high value detainees captured and held at U.S. detention facilities in Afghanistan." What rights do these people have not being American Citizens? The successes in stopping more killing of Americans by terrorist would have happened if we had had to treat Khalid Sheikh Mohammed like a white-collar criminal – read him his Miranda rights and get him a lawyer who surely would have insisted that his client simply shut up
This policy of the Obama administration is part of a larger plan to replace the CIA dominated method of secret covert arrest and interrogations with a extensively expanded role for the FBI and Justice Department in counter-terrorism operations. According to a recent Los Angeles Times report, FBI agents will collect evidence to criminally prosecute all suspected terrorists. What a mindset! It would seem the last thing we want is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or any other al-Qaeda terrorist to remain silent. Our focus should be on preventing the next attack, not giving radical jihadists a new tactic to resist interrogation, in other words lawyering up." Counter-terrorism operations is an intelligence or military issue, not a law enforcement one But, under Obama's new "global justice" plan, the goal is to ensure that all suspected terrorists can be tried in a U.S. or foreign court of law. If this kind of reasoning was in place during World War Two we could have kissed the victory of that war good bye. What Obama is trying to do is bring us into a one world government.
With many thousands of lives that could be in the balance, it does not make good sense to let the terrorists answer questions in their own good time or whenever they want to. We do not need to give them a platform to further their agenda of radical Islam. That is exactly what is going to happen and not only that we will have another three circus like the OJ Simpson trail. a suspected terrorist who remains silent will not provide the U.S. with vital information about impending attacks. If we read these terrorist Miranda warnings we would have obtained none of the information they had in their head about imminent threats against the American people."

UNITED STATES MILITARY BASES - Gun Free Zones
On November 5th, a lone gunman murdered 13 fully-trained, ready to deploy soldiers, and wounded 29 more, in the most shocking terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11. Why was this shocking incident allowed to take place? On an army base with all the trained men and women, the best trained in the world, with all the weapons why was this allowed to happen? How was Nidal Hasan able to take down so many trained soldiers before he was stopped? The answer is simple: The base was a “gun-free safe zone.” Gun-free zones only help provide helpless targets for terrorist and mass murders.
“Gun Free Zones” do nothing but reassure and guarantee criminals, and now terrorists, that they will find unarmed victims defenseless and helpless against their murderous and bloodthirsty rampage. It is easy to shoot at somebody that cannot shoot back. This must stop and people must wake up. If strict measures are not taken the same thing that happen at Fort Hood could happen in your home town and even on your door step. If guns are band, which by the way is right around the corner, how will the average citizen protect their self from people like Nidal Hasan. These people, with their ideology and beliefs are living in every small town and city in our country. With all due respect, how fast would your police department’s response time be? Will it be fast enough to save your life and the lives of your love ones, or would you end up like the soldiers at Fort Hood? Who knows where or how many sleeper cells are in this country. The government, actually, tells the American people very little about this. How can we count on a government that will not even call terrorist what they are: “TERRORIST”
Maybe I’m crazy, as some that read this might think, but I’d would have rather the soldiers delivered a barrage of bullets to end Hasan’s attack the second he opened fire. I’d rather Hasan was dead and the heroes he murdered were still alive. I rather for him to be dead instead of the thirty injured people that were shot by him and some critical. This is exactly what would have happen if they were allowed to carry their weapons. By the way soldiers go through more firearms training than the local police departments and yet it was the local police department that took this man down. They were allowed to carry guns on the base but the soldiers are not.
But because of Clinton’s ingenious policy of an unarmed armed force, this psychopathic terrorist, Nidal Hasan, systematically and methodically executed soldier after soldier before the local police could arrive on the scene. If we didn't have “Gun Free Zones” and our armed forces were armed, Nadir Hasan would have met bullets instead of bodies. He would have been dead instead of the brave soldiers that are.

The Eleventh Hour
American soldiers are not just the guardians of peace… they are its builders. They build it with the unseen, too small to see bricks of bloodshed, that did not occur, because the murderers were wisely afraid of tangling with them. They add the countless acts of kindness and mercy, performed in war zones and disaster areas. The elites of the Third World learn about America by watching the news reports. Many of their people see their first American flag riding on the shoulder of a uniformed man or woman carrying relief supplies, or a medical kit. Some of those poor people have taken bullets from their countrymen, and have been dragged to safety by United States soldiers who don't hesitate to do the right thing, even when that American flag becomes a target. No wonder most of the people of this world generally like us more than their select few.
It is possible to achieve the peace that pacifists dream of, through disarmament and surrender. This is the peace of defeat, the peace of the grave. It secures the comfort of the select few, by allowing aggressors to make endless war on their citizens. It is a peace that burns hot and bad in the insides of a nation, leaving it unable to meet the stare of those it deserted to tyranny. Soldiers are the only reason you can have peace and freedom. It is by their blood and honor that we are a free nation.
On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of 2009, the wounded of Fort Hood will remember their fallen friends, and wonder how a man wrapped in enough red flags to turn him into a bloody mummy was allowed to gain access to their base. Those wounded and dead rely upon us to ask the questions their superiors in the chain of command cannot comfortably answer and most likely will not answer. Calling the injured and dead of Fort Hood "victims" bring about the blindness that forced those men and women to face the enemy unarmed. They are not victims, they are casualties of war, and, Sergeant Kimberly Munley, who took the cowardly attacker down, is a veteran today. She has now been through the fire.
The terrorist enemy doesn't have a formal chain of command that can sign an armistice, they don't muster on clearly defined battlefields, and they're quite happy to benefit from the efforts of deranged people who will blow their self up for seventy two virgins in the name of Allah. If we don't stand behind our professional soldiers, and give them the tools to do their jobs now, we will all become soldiers before this enemy is defeated if we have any guns left in our homes. We will be fighting them on our streets every day just like Israel does today.
Somewhere in the world today, an American soldier will ring in the eleventh hour of the eleventh day with gunfire. Another will arrive home after an honorable tour of duty, perhaps passing brothers and sisters in arms saying farewell to their families. A mother's tears will fall on a letter from the far side of the world. Old veterans will spend a beautiful afternoon watching children play beneath the flag they raised at Anzio, Guadalcanal, Inchon, or Khe Sanh. Young veterans will put their lives on the line, to give the children of Iraq and Afghanistan a chance at a future free from murderous evil. A little girl will playfully salute a uniform she will one day grow up to wear. A pilot will land a machine that was impossible in his grandfather's day on the heaving deck of an aircraft carrier. The USS New York will be at anchor close to the site of the fallen buildings whose bones became her steel.
And because of "political correctness" we will be fighting these people on our streets every day in the very near future. We as Americans must wake up to the fact of who we are fighting. We now have a president that does not want these people to be called terrorist. What do you call them?

Anything For A Vote
Even though the economy and job market is very bad the illegal aliens who receive government help somehow can send money back home to Mexico. Why is that? Of the 11-12 million illegal aliens believed to be residing in the United States, well over half are thought to be Mexican nationals. Each alien on average may send back perhaps about $3,000-4,000 per year to Mexico -- making their combined total of $25 billion in remittances a major source of Mexico's national income. So the money sent south may be near much of the cost of the taxpayer providing support for the nation's resident illegal population in the first place. Are the politicians missing something here or are their eyes turned the other way for the votes the illegals bring with them.
Americans have never minded helping the poor in their midst, even during hard times. But it's fair for us to wonder whether our own rising taxes go in part to pay for those who are subsidizing the Mexican government's inability or unwillingness to provide basic care for its own citizens. Mexico is a crooked country with crooked people running it. It always has been crooked down through its history and what is the difference now?
Finally, Mexico has seen the worst increase in of drug violence in its recent history --threatening to reduce the government to the status like Colombia in the 1980s. Over 7,000 Mexican citizens have been killed in gun battles so far this year between government security forces and the drug cartels. Who wants that violence to keep spilling over into major U.S. cities like Phoenix and Los Angeles? When will this government do something about the problem? Instead of doing something about the problem this present administration thinks that we are part of the problem. Instead of tighter border control to curb these illegal activities the government wants tighter gun control in this country to stop the violence. Close the borders and the violence, for the most part, will stop. Sometimes we must wonder if these congressmen and senators have a lick of sense.
Obama is between a rock and a hard place -- under biased political pressure by his own party to go further than any past government in easing immigration enforcement while the wider public increasingly wants the border strictly enforced and illegal immigration ended. Polls of all sorts reveal consistently that the public believes illegal immigration is a serious problem and that government is not doing enough to stop it. Why is not the government hearing this? Apparently a hesitant Obama hopes that the crisis over illegal immigration will just go away on its own -- despite his now forgotten April vow to enact "comprehensive immigration reform." When will Obama stop this flood of illegals? Or will he take a stance like his positions on the need for more troops in Afghanistan, and the nuclear crisis with Iran ? Obama is voting "present" on illegal immigration and that is not helping the American worker who is out of a job and it is not helping the crime that is getting out of hand on our borders and spreading buy Mexican gangs all over our nation.

Terrorism Or A Tragic Shooting
The gunman, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who was a Palestinian-American and an Army psychiatrist, reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar!”( As we all know that is Arabic for "god is great!") when he opened fire. That tells us something right there! The military said he was scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan, and family members said he was trying to avoid serving overseas. The government has said that it was not a terrorist attack, but they have not ruled out terrorism in the shooting, but they said the preliminary evidence suggests that it wasn't. Clearly I think it was a terrorist act. Whether he was connected to another group or not makes no difference. It has been very clear and out in the open for years that two of the places for Al Qaeda and other Islamic groups to recruitment were in the U.S. military and in the U.S. prison system. Walid Phares, an expert on terrorism and a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, called the shooting "the largest single terror act in America since 9/11." You will never hear those words come from the Obama White House. I’m thankful that we have a man like Walid Phares that is not “political correct” and will tell it like it is!
"What happened at Ft. Hood is not about being frustrated by America's foreign policy or exacting revenge for racial slurs. Nor is it about simply being a Muslim-American serving in the military or about being a member of any faith," "The murders at Ft. Hood are about the radicalization of folks by an extremist ideology and a set of beliefs and philosophy called jihadism, which feed these acts of terror. "The main question we should be asking is when did Hasan become indoctrinated and programmed to do what he did? Everything else will fall in place once we have these answers. This not the only terrorist acts that may be in the making as we will see. The shooting will never be ruled an act of terrorism because the Obama administration has made a political calculation to not fight a war on terror. When Obama decided to use "Overseas Contingency Operation" for the "global war on terror he left out the option to call the deadly act what it was. An act of terrorism against this country.
"Had this occurred under the previous administration or any other previous administration, the natural position would have been America is under attack. It would have been a different position than what Obama coins. Now because a strategic decision has been made to disengage the enemy, They're not going to call this act , at Fort Hood, terrorism. Law enforcement officials and the Army have been unwilling and reluctant to rule the shooting an act of terrorism because "they're politically correct." But most Americans know the shooter's motive is clear: it was violent jihad in the name of radical Islam. America needs to awaken from its sleep and its unwillingness to face the issue of fundamentalist Islam in our midst, which is without a shadow of a doubt is the cause of the tragedy in Fort Hood. Some very serious decisions need to be made when it comes to having Muslims protecting our country, as it is impossible to know whether they may be good Americans or foxes in the hen house."
Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was a very devout and dedicated Muslim, and his impending deployment overseas, which was imminent, was going to put him in a position where he was going to be assisting in killing other Muslims And that's a very big thing for a Muslim to do, not only killing another Muslim but killing on behalf of an infidel or a Christian." We, as Americans must face up to the fact that this was another act of terrorism, just like 911 against our country. We must also face the fact that these acts of terror will continue as long as we have leaders who will not call it what it is: “TERRORISM”

POLITICIANS - and deadbeats
I’m sure that this article will not set well with some but the more I think about what is happening in this country the more I've had it with some of people in this country, and even more so with the politicians who enable them and who know better, but whose desire, lust and thirst for power surpasses and go beyond anything comparable to common decency. It's time for a reality check, for the truth and here it is: this is one American whose sick and tired of subsidizing (support financially by my tax dollars) people who are too lazy to take care of themselves, and who expect and wait for other people to pick up the tab. People who would not work in a pie shop eating pies. Spare me excuses. I don't want to hear about "social justice," "victimization," discrimination,” or " unfair treatment " when they are nothing more than excuses that allow some people to live in this country on the back of working Americans while contributing practically nothing towards their own upkeep. There's a huge difference between the truly helpless and the truly lazy deadbeats, and I've had it with the politicians who make little or no distinction between the two groups. I don't care what these political prostitutes, who sell their selves, to get elected say or tell you, there's no such thing as "free" anything. There is nothing that is on the house and the fact that some think there is or don't give a darn because they are not paying for it, is a demonstration and verification to both their deceit and their lack of honesty. But then the deadbeats already know that and they are OK with it, as long as the government program or policy keeps delivering the goods and the check. The elected officials are okay with it as long as they get the deadbeats votes. This is not helping the people who truly need help. That is giving the ones that truly need help less. Now we have a government who wants to spread the wealth around. These means, in no uncertain terms, that more will be put on the backs of working Americans to dole out for people who can make a buck or two their own selves but would rather have it handed over to them.
There was a time in this country when most people were ashamed to go on the dole and ask for any kind of government help, except as a last resort. There was also a time when most people accepted responsibility and blame for their own behavior, or felt bad doing something wrong when they knew it was wrong. But that was before secular "progressives" made it fashionable to believe religion-based moral codes were " out-of-date, not for today'" and that everyone was entitled to modify and custom fit their morality, their principles, their ethics and decency in accordance with "personal preferences." Where has the integrity, honor, and veracity of some people gone? Once such moral uncertainty gathered momentum, the legal profession and the therapeutic community were more than willing to jump on the bandwagon. For the former, "right and wrong" became "legal and illegal." For the latter, "well and unwell." Shame? Dead as the proverbial doornail. Its replacement? Self-rationalization and excuse-making.
Who do these people think they are kidding? Not the American people who bust their butts every day to make ends meet. Not the people who try to do the right thing, just because it's right. A lot of them have been beaten into submission by our political class and some of our elected officials for whom nothing is more important than making decent people feel bad for not being "compassionate" enough. Well no more. I'm calling them out. All these politicians know the road to permanent and unending power is paved by buying the dead beats off. They are nothing more than blood-suckers, and it's long past time someone told them so. What good are they really doing our Country? I’m afraid more harm than good!
All the decent working Americans who have been carrying the deadbeats for decades has had enough. Their self-righteous indignation and resentment is wearing exceedingly thin, and you may have noticed that the decent, law-abiding, hard-working Americans that are still the majority of people in this country are beginning to wake up. These are the very same folks who bend over backwards, time and time again, to help people in need and will still help the people who are, truly, in need but you deadbeats will have to do the same as all the rest of us do – WORK!
