A “tragedy” has occurred at one of our Army bases according to most in the “Mainstream” media. A member of our own armed forces who also happened to be a Muslim viciously gunned down unarmed people in the one place they should feel safest of all. For many of the victims who had seen action in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is a horrible irony that they should lose their lives on American soil.
The shooting was many things, but it most certainly was not a “tragedy.” As many in the media and our very own government try desperately to downplay the Muslim terrorist aspect, they insist on calling it a “tragedy” and insisting that Major Hasan was mentally ill.
A tragedy is most often characterized by an unavoidable component. A little kid runs out into the street after a ball and a driver can’t stop in time….A plane crashes due to sudden bad weather….those are tragedies. The cowardly, Muslim Religion-inspired slaughter of unarmed people (and I would’ve loved to have seen the results had Hasan tried this overseas where the Army people were allowed to be armed!) was an act of terror perpetrated by a Muslim terrorist-pure and simple. And it appears the Army and some Intelligence agencies knew Hasan was advocating the killing of non-believers, and that he railed against the wars on terror, etc. etc. etc. but did nothing.
Can we blame the Army, FBI, CIA et al for not acting? Perhaps, but with Obama threatening to prosecute some of those very same people for courageously fighting the war on terror, one can see how political correctness made them a little squeamish. Thank God for those two hero police officers who rushed in to stop this guy, thereby saving countless others. More on them later.
So Obama and the “Lamestream Media” as Marc Levin calls them are trying desperately to get us to believe this was nothing close to a Muslim Terror attack perpetrated on American soil. Sadly, I think some really do think Hasan was just a nutcase. Either way, they need to be set straight, so with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy and without an ounce of comedy intended, I offer the following for them to consider:
If you are a Muslim and you shout “Allahu Akbar” before gunning down innocent people…..you might be a terrorist.
If you are a Muslim and contact Al Qaeda several times hoping to win their favor…..you might be a terrorist.
If you are a Muslim and you worship at the same exact Anti American, militant mosque that many of the 9-11 hijackers did….you might be a terrorist.
If you go around telling your fellow Army members that you are a Muslim first, and American second (or better yet that you love death more than they love life), you might be a terrorist.
Make no mistake about it Mr. President. We do not believe you when you try to tell us that Hasan was not a terrorist. We just got hit again with another terrorist attack here in America and it happened on your watch! Is anyone really shocked?

I'll Say It If No One Else Will
I am truly at a loss on this 8th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. While I cannot bring myself to watch any of the documentaries, my wife can’t tear herself away from the television. Maybe it’s because my job reminds me every day of the worst loss of American lives on our soil. Maybe it’s because I simply cannot stand to become enraged every year to the extent I do watching the news specials. My wife always asks why I don’t want to remember the day those nutcases flew the jets into the buildings, and I tell her I don’t need to watch television for me to remember-it never leaves my mind.
At least though, in all the other 9-11 anniversaries, I knew our President was one of firm resolve and dedication to our preservation. I knew that George W. Bush awoke every single morning wondering how many terrorists we could kill and how best to protect us. I never, ever doubted that. I cannot say the same or anything near that of Obama.
His decision to afford Miranda and other rights to terrorists, to tell his Attorney General to investigate (Again) the CIA officers that did their jobs admirably, his refusal to even utter the words “Terrorism” or “war on terror” along with every other decision he has made related to Islamofacism speaks volumes about his administration.
Just as I believed in W’s complete dedication to our security, I believe Obama is dedicated to the idea that the U.S. was complicit in the 9-11 attacks through our actions, and that we as a country have to show a willingness to “dialogue” with Muslims, and to show humility. I truly believe that Obama actually sympathizes with their fascist ideology. During the campaign, John McCain told America to look at the people Obama associated with-the unrepentant terrorists like William Ayers, the racists like Jeremiah Wright, and to judge him by the company he keeps. Obama responded by saying he would surround himself with the likes of Warren Buffett, General James Jones, and other mainstream figures if elected. Now, since he has taken office, we see him bringing in people like self described communists (Van Jones), extremely radical John Holdren who has advocated compulsory abortions, and many others who want to “fundamentally change the U.S.” Obama didn’t even want to wear an American flag pin until he was embarrassed into doing so. The President of the United States appointed AN ACTUAL COMMUNIST to his White House staff, and no one cared!!
It makes me absolutely sick to watch the President of the United States declare war on the CIA, Fox News, Conservatives, and so many other Americans but then cozy up to terrorists and apologize for America while on foreign soil. Make no mistake- B. Hussein Obama has worked to weaken our defenses to the extent that he has actually made us more vulnerable to attack.
His attempts to nationalize health care are not due to his concern for the less fortunate. Health care “reform” is just the fastest way to socialism-that’s it. And if any of us disagree with Obama, we are accused of being racists. We just don’t like the fact that a black man is in the Oval Office. Gee, that’s not cop out, is it? Why is it that even the most ardent conservatives won’t just come out and say it? Obama is a communist. He has proven it through the company he keeps and through his actions in governing so far. He won’t participate in the National Prayer day, but he bows to a Saudi king; He insists on having a cross covered before he would appear at a Christian college to give a speech, but he spends twenty years in a church where the pastor screams “God Damn America!” He states emphatically to foreigners that “America is no longer a Christian nation.” He was an attorney for ACORN, the organization whose employees were just caught on tape counseling a woman posing as a prostitute to avoid paying taxes and to bring in UNDER AGE girls to the U. S. for the purposes of prostitution.
I do have faith in the American people though. Obama’s poll numbers are falling faster than we can count, and the mainstream media is actually forced to report on some of the failings of his administration. Let’s just hope that more of his own actions will bring the rest of America around.

The "Lion" Sleeps Tonight
The "Liberal Lion" Ted Kennedy has died. Right off the bat, I am going to differentiate myself from the vast majority of liberal bloggers who have, at one time or another, wished any number of conservatives dead of cancer. Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, Tony Snow, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham-and many more have had the most disgusting and disturbing things wished upon them by the animals at the hate sites like "Daily Kos" and the "Huffington Post."
I have yet to see a conservative sink to the lowest of lows that libs have, and I do not intend to break that streak. I will state unequivocally that I do not wish what Teddy went through on anyone-even the most heinous of liberals (too redundant?). However, unlike all news outlets today, I also refuse to trip over myself to attempt to find even one redeeming quality the man ever exhibited. I am sincerely and utterly at a loss in this regard. As a conservative, I believe in redemption and that no human life is a waste, but Teddy Kennedy sure has challenged me in this belief.
What I fear now is that the Dems are going to use his death as a rallying cry to push Obama's radically socialist health care agenda through. We all know that health care "reform" was one of Kennedy's biggest priorities (although, like the anointed one, he would have been exempted from having to enroll in the government option). One cannot help but wonder how much sooner he would have died and how much poorer his quality of life would have been had he been subjected to the rationed health care that is surely coming our way.
History is replete with stories of Teddy Kennedy's excess-how he would "accidentally" walk in to a room nude to the horror of young ladies, his booze-fueled frat boy antics at Au Bar in Palm Beach with his accused rapist nephew, and oh, that little thing called Chappaquiddick. The irony of all ironies is how Teddy fought to change the law in Massachusetts so that if Kerry had been elected president in 2004, then Republican Governor Mitt Romney could not name a Republican successor-that a special election had to be held. As his death drew closer, Kennedy begged the Massachusetts state legislators to change the law back so that the present Democrat governor could name a successor. This, of course was so the health care plan would not be jeopardized. No hypocrisy there though.
Just like the month following the election that ACORN stole for Obama, I cannot stand to watch the news right now. I simply cannot stomach watching the jackasses on both sides of the aisle serving up the platitudes for one of the most destructive forces in our government's history.
Like I said at the beginning of this post, I do not relish the fact that this man suffered or that his family lost a loved one. But the sad fact remains-he still lived a full 40 years longer than poor Mary Jo Kopechne.

One Adam-12, Officers Need Assistance!
There is one movie and television genre that, to help bring my blood pressure under control, I have learned to stay away from. It’s one of the most popular, and can be greatly entertaining, but I can’t bring myself to watch cop shows anymore.
I just cannot stomach the all out assault on America’s police officers any longer. Think I’m over reacting? Consider this: In any given cop show or movie, is there at least one bad cop in it? Of course there is. Even when the protagonist is a “good cop,” what is he doing? He’s usually working against the tide-against the other bad cops and he’s the one honest one. Or, he’s trying to build a case against a bad cop, or better yet, he doesn’t know that his partner is the serial killer they’ve been tracking until it’s almost too late. And then, the “hero” cop is usually some alcoholic, divorced, sex or drug addicted, barely hanging on to his sanity-wreck. This completely ignores the fact that the vast majority of real police officers today are true professionals. The extremely rare occurrence of a cop doing the wrong thing is shown as being the rule as opposed to the exception.
It is so ingrained in Hollywood that it seems like there has to be a bad cop in the movie or it won’t get made. The most egregious, sickening example I can give is the movie “Monster,” starring that darling of the liberal set Charlize Theron. It supposedly told the story of the real life Daytona Beach area prostitute and serial killer Aileen Wuornos. Even though this brutal murderer killed seven men and was unapologetic about it, Hollywood just had to show her as a victim. The most disgusting scene showed a road patrol cop forcing Wuornos to perform a sex act on him while he was on duty and in his patrol car. There was NEVER any allegation that she had ever been victimized by any police officer, or that the cops ever acted in any other way than professionally. In fact, a team of dedicated, highly trained police detectives worked tirelessly to find and arrest this killer. Not only were the cops not given any credit for their outstanding work, but they were portrayed as the bad guys. I used to think this tactic was limited to MSNBC’s coverage of George W. Bush. I will save the media’s assault on cops for a later offering.
I remember being so excited about seeing my two favorite actors starring together for the first time in a movie. Even though they had appeared together in “Heat,” Robert De Niro and AL Pacino had never starred together throughout an entire movie until “Righteous Kill.” They played detectives who had been partnered for years, and who were tracking a serial killer. How’d it turn out? You guessed it, one of them WAS the serial killer! Too bad that was the exact plot of the 2003 Meg Ryan movie “In the Cut." To add insult to injury, the “Special Edition” DVD purchase of “Righteous Kill” comes with a bonus “documentary” detailing police corruption. It features a guy who was drummed out of police work and who claims to know all about it. Watching this piece of garbage, you’d think all cops are corrupt. There was absolutely no attempt to provide balance. Sickening.
I have argued this point with my friends, some of whom say that it is more an example of a Hollywood that has run out of any semblance of new ideas, but noted law enforcement trainer, retired Army Ranger, and psychology professor Lt. Colonel Dave Grossman calls it “A systematic, on-going vilification process of America’s police officers by a liberal Hollywood.” Grossman posits that because the vast majority of Hollywood indulges in drugs, and identifies with the counter culture, they hate the police. I couldn’t possibly agree more. Hollywood uses their bully pulpit to turn Americans against the true modern day heroes-those who, as Grossman puts it, can trace their lineage directly to the “knights of old” who strapped on their body armor, hung a shield on their left sides and their weapon on their right, and went about the country doing good deeds. Ever wonder where the police badge, or "shield" came from?
My oldest daughter asked me the other day what the word “nostalgia” meant. As I explained it to her, it occurred to me that I have a certain nostalgia for the time when police officers were portrayed as the good guys. Gone are the days of “Adam-12” where every day, Reed and Malloy climbed into their Black and White and enforced the law, protecting and serving, and best of all, catching bad guys! Now, if we want to watch a cop show, we are forced to watch swill like “Training Day” (for which Denzel Washington won an Academy Award), “16 blocks,” “Internal Affairs,” “Unlawful Entry,” “The Shield,” or even “NYPD Blue.”
There is a disturbing trend emerging in real-life criminal justice. It’s called “The ‘CSI’ effect.” Civilians are so taken by the modern day police drama epitomized by the “CSI” show franchise, and are inundated with such bad information, that real life juries now insist on DNA and fingerprint evidence being present in every case or they will acquit. State Attorney offices have actually printed bulletins warning the police of the “CSI effect” and have instructed cops to explain in their reports why DNA and fingerprint evidence may not be part of their case-never mind the fact that getting those things in real life is rare. My point is, if the general public can be fooled into thinking that any police agency worth its salt will have DNA evidence in all cases, what effect do you think every show highlighting fictional bad cops will have?

Red Sonya
As I sit here watching the opening statement by Patrick Leahy in the confirmation (Canonization?) hearing of Sonya Sotomayor, I am literally sick to my stomach. He actually has called for the political bias to be kept out of the process-and he did it with a straight face!
It is the liberal contingent that, for political reasons torpedoed the nomination of the eminently qualified Judge Robert Bork, leading to the term "getting Borked" entering the American lexicon to mean being unfairly attacked and ultimately rejected for no good reason. And what about Miguel Estrada? After being nominated for a position on the Federal bench, he was "Borked" because he held conservative views and because the federal bench is widely seen as an easy stepping stone to become a member of the Supremes. So, in effect, the liberals "Borked" Estrada, who was also highly qualified because of political reasons. The Liberals are all crowing about Sotomayor being the first Hispanic to be named to the Supreme Court, after having eviscerated Estrada. Isn't that just a tad disingenuous?
And if I hear one more member of the media elite mention her "compelling story," I swear I will puke. She is the product of affirmative action and has not done much to distinguish herself in her judicial career except to always side with the liberal cause. To hear just a quick list of her previous decisions attacking the right to bear arms, promoting abortion on demand, reverse discrimination (see the Ricci case the Supreme Court just overturned), it is sickeningly obvious that she is just as radical as the president who nominated her. Make no mistake people, communism is coming, and her name is Sonya Sotomayor.
Obama has said repeatedly that empathy is one of the most important qualities a Supreme Court nominee should have. Empathy?! Are you kidding? How about a strict, apolitical adherence to the constitution? No, that would be asking too much I guess.
The libs would never and could never show the courage the conservatives did when, in a weak moment, George W. Bush nominated the woefully unqualified Harriet Meyers for the Supremes. Conservatives all over the country fought her nomination until it was withdrawn prior to any confirmation hearings. Thank God for Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter!
The confirmation of Sotomayor is sadly, a fait accompli. Just for once though, I'd like to see the conservatives on the judiciary committee take the gloves off and give the libs a taste of their own medicine. Let's attack her like they've attacked all of our nominees (remember Samuel Alito's wife sobbing during his hearing?). The only difference is that we'll have facts on our side, unlike the libs. Maybe we'll start getting some respect and our future nominees (assuming we'll still have any in the future) will be treated a little more fairly.
I am truly scared about the path this Country is on. The libs have the super majority and are unstoppable. Elections have consequences people....I just hope and pray that the mid-term elections will provide some parity. Until then though, the U.S. is undoubtedly going to be damaged some more.
