Yesterday in their first interview since the Jihadist attacks at Ft. Hood, Sgts. Kimberly Munley and Mark Todd appeared on Oprah to recount the details of the events on that fateful day (as well as dispel some incorrectly reported items in the media).
Big hugs and congrats for both Sgts. Todd & Munley; you are really true heroes and you saved American lives.
Yesterday on Glenn’s first day back, he addressed the Ft. Hood Islamic terrorist attack, where Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan slaughtered 13 young men and women of the military at the processing center. Specifically at issue is the political correctness that has apparently crippled this nation, and could have prevented this insanity.
Even today we’re hearing reports that Hasan’s higher ups in the military didn’t report his disturbing behavior for fear of retribution, or being called bigoted. OH, THE HORROR! /sarc
What the hell is wrong with this country? If this would have been a White Supremacist, the alarm bells not only would have sounded, but would have been reported and acted on, with NO ramifications from the PC left in this country. However, since Muslims are an apparent protected group in this country, nothing was done, and now 13 Americans are dead, dozens more wounded.
We must STOP this insanity, and Beck says he is taking off his PC gloves – we have to start calling things (ALL things) for what they actually are, rather than what the “sensitive” terms are. Glenn cites a few examples, and I have to say, I’m with him. PC-ness got us this massacre, and I hope the victims’ families sue the federal government for allowing this crap to happen.
Stop it… just STOP it already! If he’s a Muslim who shouts “Allahu Akhbar” just prior to opening fire on a room full of Americans, HE’S A FREAKIN’ RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST JIHADI!
End. Of. Story. In fact, in the future, I will call PC’ness “reverse bigotry.” Seems fitting to me.
Like many others, I was disturbed by President Obama’s initial public statement about the Ft. Hood terrorist attack. You know, the one where the mention of that mass slaughter was preceded by a near 2-minute talk with a “shout out” to a group of Native Americans? Does he have that little regard for the soldiers who were slaughtered by an Islamic terrorist?
As I listened to him, I realized that what he was saying didn’t match…what he was saying. I think you know what I mean. It was the same measured tone with which he pretty much discusses anything, reading from the teleprompter or not. He shows no emotion, barely any inflection (unless he’s talking to an SEIU or ACORN crowd), and is just plain cold. I, for one, don’t buy the “soaring oratory” skills others ascribe to him. Anyway, back to my point.
Since he’s gotten the August assessment on Afghanistan from General McChrystal back in September, he has yet to make any other decision about what he’s going to act on, other than decide he wouldn’t decide for several more weeks. Why is he taking such a long time? His supporters are saying he’s being “thoughtful” and “thorough” about making that decision, but what about the guys on the ground now? They are the ones that need the backup! I guess he’s not too concerned about them, much less Gen. McChrystal’s request for 40,000 more troops. According to the assessment, McChrystal said “Failure to gain the initiative and reverse insurgent momentum in the near term (next 12 months) — while Afghan security capacity matures — risks an outcome where defeating the insurgency is no longer possible.” How much more dire of a warning could Obama have received.
On Fox Business tonight, David Asman featured a segment on a group of retired veterans who make sure returning soldiers are properly welcomed home; regardless of the time of day.
We must ALL remember, respect and revere our American patriots. They bless us as Americans to be free to live the American dream.
God bless our men and women in uniform, both past and present.
Our prayers, love and thanks go to all of you.
