Today, this army wife is mad as hell.
This afternoon I saw an interview on FOX with the Army Chief of Staff, General Casey.
During the Q&A period, every question and answer centered around Combat Stress and suicides among our military.
Not ONE person addressed the FACT that this was an individual practicing his view of Islamic Jihad.
After the press conference, the cameras went back to Shep Smith at the FOX studios. The first thing he said was, “The question on everyone’s mind is, ‘Why did he do this?’”
Why? WHY, you ask??
Let me tell you cowards in the media WHY. Hassan was a Muslim Fundamentalist Extremist. He did it to strike fear and grief in the hearts of Americans. He did it to hurt our military and to further the cause of Islam.
He didn’t do it because he had PTSD, compassion fatigue or combat stress. He is not your average everyday PVT Joe Snuffy.
He is a TERRORIST. He is a terrorist sympathizer. (As indicated by his internet postings.) He is a Muslim Extremist.
And you damn well know it.
Today I am ashamed of our media. I am ashamed of our POTUS. I am ashamed of our leadership.
Those of you who lack the ability to accept and report the truth of this situation are nothing more than cowards who are terrified of giving offense. You do a disservice to the brave men and women who have been killed and injured in your defense.
Stop insulting the solders by implying that they’re all capable of this due to the stress of war. Stop insulting our military by implying that they don’t take care of our troops.
Grow a pair and call it what it is - TERRORISM.
God bless you, Marie.
I am so enraged about the dancing around this issue. If we cannot name the enemy, we are dead.
WE ARE DEAD!
Political correctness is the elite’s death pact.
He was not a chaplain. That makes it even more of a breach.
Ooorah.
God bless you and yours. The outpouring of support on this thread is encouraging. I will try to add my small amount.
We don’t need to make this complicated. It is not. This individual and his actions are easy to understand. Just how much of the “duck test” does this one not pass. Get down to basics and strip away the babble of PC. He is responsible for his actions, not the Army or GW or the Congress or the FBI, or the CIA, or the NSA or whatever...
He is a “duck”. A muzzie is a muzzie. He and they want all non-muzzies dead and out of the way. In his words, “they (non muslim) should be beheaded, oil poured down their throat and burned”. What part of this can we not understand?
Kudos Marie from this old Vet. Well said.
You do not become a flag officer by telling the truth. It is all PC. You have to be an advocate for every looney liberal idea in Congress and in the White House. You are not allowed to speak the truth about Muslims, women, or gays in the military—not if you want to get promoted.
It’s just not you Marie.
I was in a rage yesterday when I heard of this incident. I was angry because this act of terrorism occurred against our brave soldiers and I was mad because I knew, I knew that the media and government officials wouldn’t have the gonads to call this a act of terrorism.
The government lies to us and acts like we are stupid and our opinion doesn’t matter. I have had enough!!!!!!
Combat political correctness: Go on the offensive
By DOMENICK MAGLIO
Neo Traditionalist
Political correctness, (PC) is conforming to political/social expectations. These new expectations have been socially engineered by the elites who want to transform our society. It is a Marxist technique to undermine western values. In the extreme political correctness is the demand of a totalitarian state to follow the party line.
Political correctness has been a powerful tool to prevent citizens from speaking and hearing the truth. By the use of media propaganda pitting one group against another and indoctrinating children with television and in youth groups has made particular subjects taboo. The PC re-education takes place daily in our schools and universities. It has changed the cultural complexion of America. The practice of “Political Correctness” will gradually transform the cultural complexion of any society.
Totalitarian regimes use it to keep citizens isolated from each other. People in communist nations had to go into a back room, scan the room for listening devices before talking about meaningful issues. Open discussions of political and religious subjects were muzzled through the fear of authority’s reprisals. Citizens were intimidated not to share their thoughts and beliefs.
Over the past 50 years there has been a frontal attack on our culture. Traditional moral values that created American exceptionalism have been systematically decimated. God, the Ten Commandments, the flag, personal responsibility, competition, the work ethic, patriotism, civility and chivalry have become negative values. Masculinity and femininity have been blurred to create gender confusion.
Unthinkable a short time ago, Kevin Jennings, a radical homosexual activist has been appointed the “safe school czar” under the Obama administration. According to his writing, he advised a 14-year-old boy who was having sex with an older man to wear a condom. He illegally did not report this incident to the authorities. Yet, he is in a powerful position to impose his announced agenda on impressionable minds. His ascending into the executive branch shows the power of political correctness to shut down the dissent against homosexual indoctrination.
A bonus to the homosexual special interest was attached to our military budget to underhandedly make thought, not conduct a hate crime. This means the government is empowering one group over another.
As the dependency on the government grows, it becomes easier for people to relinquish their freedom for greater security. The top-down decrees, rather than the bottom-up values are accomplished by making promises to the already dependent citizens. Coercion is used on the most adamantly individualistic patriots to submit to the power of the state.
Anyone opposing the undermining of our institutions can be ostracized and demonized by the use of politically incorrect labels such as homophile, racist, right-winger or even capitalist. Rush Limbaugh has been outrageously slandered by lies that paint him a racist to prevent him from becoming a part owner of a national football league team.
The politically correct bomb stops any open discussion of major societal changes. This strategy has been effective in totalitarian governments, ramming down their throats policies that would not have been approved by free citizens. This can only happen when people cower in a corner and watch their freedoms being stripped away one by one.
An article in the Russian newspaper, Pravda, called the American people “sheeple.” Ben Franklin said: “Make yourselves sheep and the wolves will eat you.” We better wake up or lose our nation. Political bullies win when citizens no longer have the courage to say, “How dare you.” Standing up together against the bully caused him to cowardly back down.
Americans need to say what they think regardless of government threats. This would erase the power of political correctness and the unconstitutional “hate crimes- thought crimes.” It would empower citizens to take action like voting out self-serving representatives and change the debate to solidify our freedoms rather than diluting them.
America has a built in repellent for this type of invasion within. It is our Constitution and Bill of Rights sacredly written by our founding fathers. Speaking without fear and making personal sacrifices in time and money to support our constitution will invigorate American exceptionalism.
We are beginning to courageously go on the offensive as true patriots. This strategy will allow us to regain and stabilize our freedom. God Bless America.

Isn’t it interesting that Obozo said the Cambridge Police acted stupidly without any knowledge of facts, This clown is now is telling everyone not to jump to conclusions toward this Murderous Muslim Thug
Very good point.
Bless you gal, tell it like it is!
Thank you for saying that. I hope the American Military is as outraged as I am. They are the only thing left that stop these people.
Just one thing I may disagree on. That person is not a terrorist, he is a traitor.
Maybe that is why he is getting so much sympathy.

The John Does of Oklahoma City, vehicles driven by 'misguided youths' driving through student area at Chapel Hill and elsewhere, one and two-man attacks on civillians, a lone bomber trying to gain admission to a packed stadium with a backpack load of TATP in Norman, embassies, aircraft, even bombing the World Trade Center, and still no wakeup.
At least there wasn't until they flew planes into the WTC and the Pentagon, and yet, somehow, the veil of denial continues to be drawn across the lips that should be screaming, demanding that the terrorists, the real monsters who walk among us plotting our demise be ferreted out and at least deported.
All the while, our southern border remains porous in the name of the selfsame political correctness that will not let us call a spade a spade.
Thank you for simply calling it what it is.
I haven’t had the problem of PC inhibiting my speech. I don’t really think of FR’s posting guidelines as such, either. Some days I am tested. And some days it is linguini gymnastics. :-)
Thanks for the post. Spot on.
The mods got on me a bit back for my tagline. So I changed it to one of my fav’s from Dr. Seuss.
Marie 2012!
Damned straight! You win the internets, ma’am. God bless ya’!!!!
