What makes me angry is the inability to ask intelligent questions of people who should know. I used to work in the media (don’t flame me)— at a time when intelligence (at least in moderate measure) was something to be prized. I get so frustrated and scream at the TV —especially at Fox — when breaking news happens and nobody asks relevant questions. It’s one thing if you don’t know, but it’s another if you don’t know enough to ask.

“If he wakes up, he’s going to claim he can’t remember a thing.

He’ll be declared innocent by reason of temporary insanity.

And be offered a czar position in the 0bama administration.

CAIR and/or the ACLU will likely bring suit against her for her heroic act.

In both my early 1960s high school and journalism classes there was 'Who, What, Where, When and How" as the 1st Amendment of reporting. You reported the facts objectively and left opinion to the columnists.

Nowadays, there are no journalists. And all that is left is a gaggle of columnists that do not know their hind ends from a hole in the ground!

” One more. “

When I went to bed last night, the reported casualty count was ‘11 plus the shooter, for a total of 12’...

Now I find that the shooter is alive, so wouldn’t that make it “two more”?? (13 minus 11)

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere — I’m still trying to catch up.....

What is sad is that I will probably think the military is lying in their press information, the American government will hide the truth and the MSM will constructe the lie.

” What is sad is that I will probably think the military is lying in their press information, “

Just heard on FNC a ‘statement’ from the Pentagon, which referred to this *attack* as an ‘event’...

The whitewash has started already.....

Enough. It is enough. Leadership must be found to rid this country of some very difficult problems. That person(s) MUST have the backbone to do what has to be done. This leadership will NOT come from the stable of lawyers in this country running for office nor from any politician presently in place. A man or woman from among the people simply has to rise up and put forward an agenda to get things done. Waiting for the people to be ready for this type of change...

In my fantasy world, he won’t be associated with a bigger plot, which would lead Congress, the military, and the President to conclude that it’s all of Islam, not specific Islamic terrorist gangs, that is the problem. In my fantasy world.

How do you feel about waterboarding now, Obama? Think there's any info in his head we might need?

I wonder how the Democrats in Congress would feel about Waterboarding if the plane had not been brought down by the passengers in 2001 but had hit the Capitol

Yes, it’s possible that the fact they have even said this much indicates that there is some “larger group” involved with it.

Of course, I guess that’s true no matter how you look at it: he wasn’t just a nut, and the “larger group” was Islam. However, I bet he’s going to go for an insanity defense and the PC crowd will accept it immediately. They’re already trying to build it. I have seen at least three stories about how lonely and unhappy he was...cry me a river! But I bet he’s never going to do a day in jail.

>>> "Authorities have not ruled out that Hasan was acting on behalf of some unidentified radical group, the official said. He would not say whether any evidence had come to light to support that theory." <<<

I have a distinct feeling that this comment does NOT indicate that they are actively investigating links to known Islamic terrorists, nor to any underground terror cells, nor to any foreign government.

I still find it extraordinarily amazing that he is reputed to have received an extraordinary lot of extra training with handguns, but that no one ever found his intense interest in same to be peculiar, given so many other Blaring Sirens about him.
