The cult of reverse victimology gets stranger every day. I wonder if in the last stages of the Roman Empire they wondered about the lonely life of the barbarian?
As we all know by Maj. Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people and injured scores more. Before the echoes of gunfire fade we have the President of the United States telling us not to jump to conclusions about Islam in between shout-outs to his buddies and contributors. Ditto Janet Napolitano at Homeland.
For emphasis about the wrongness of jumping to conclusions, let’s look at the words of Maj. Hasan’s former Imam.
Nidal Hassan [sic] is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people. This is a contradiction that many Muslims brush aside and just pretend that it doesn’t exist. Any decent Muslim cannot live, understanding properly his duties towards his Creator and his fellow Muslims, and yet serve as a US soldier. The US is leading the war against terrorism which in reality is a war against Islam. Its army is directly invading two Muslim countries and indirectly occupying the rest through its stooges.
Nidal opened fire on soldiers who were on their way to be deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. How can there be any dispute about the virtue of what he has done? In fact the only way a Muslim could Islamically justify serving as a soldier in the US army is if his intention is to follow the footsteps of men like Nidal.
The heroic act of brother Nidal also shows the dilemma of the Muslim American community. Increasingly they are being cornered into taking stances that would either make them betray Islam or betray their nation. Many amongst them are choosing the former. The Muslim organizations in America came out in a pitiful chorus condemning Nidal’s operation.The fact that fighting against the US army is an Islamic duty today cannot be disputed. No scholar with a grain of Islamic knowledge can defy the clear cut proofs that Muslims today have the right -rather the duty- to fight against American tyranny. Nidal has killed soldiers who were about to be deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in order to kill Muslims. The American Muslims who condemned his actions have committed treason against the Muslim Ummah and have fallen into hypocrisy.
Your’re right. Crazy to draw conclusions about a guy murdering people shouting “Allahu Akbar.”
MSNBC, for its part in the non conclusion jumping art of reverse victimology, offered this particular headline this weekend. “The lonely life of the alleged Fort Hood Shooter” Keep in mind that the victims of Maj. Hasan have not even been buried yet.
After the events at Fort Hood last week, the reactions as seen above, and the passing of Socialized healthcare in the House, it is getting increasingly difficult to make an argument that our civilization is not over.
Maybe someday someone will write a headline wondering about the lonely life of the patriot at the end of the American empire, but I doubt it.

Irony of ironies: "Alleged Fort Hood Shooter Frequented Local Strip Club" [Fox News]. Next, he'll be a alleged guest on Larry King and Oprah. Maybe he can share a beer with O on the White House lawn next May. Now that we know he "allegedly" drinks beer.
The antidote:
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.

Since Obambi got the Nobel Peace Prize for what he hopes to accomplish… can we please impeach him for what we believe he'll accomplish? And that's NOT putting this murderous traitor/terrorist to death under UCMJ? If all the signs are pointing to Obama being Muslim, then why would news reports like this surprise anyone?
Makes me sick to see so much bowing down to the alleged religion of peace when we repeatedly have people like Maj. Hasan trying (and succeeding) to kill our soldiers and disrupt our way of life.

The ongoing cult of politcal correctness that enables these atrocities is treasonous. It started under G.W. Bush and continues on, getting worse all the time.
By their continued denial of Islam's menace to every citizen of this country the politicians and their lapdog MSM are guilty of treason. Not ignorance, not misguided intentions.
Treason. Plain and simple. Can't gussy it up and make it into anything else.

I don't know, Subvet. I don't know if they have enough coherence to their thought at all for it to be treason.
But this does feel evil to me. I've never seen a news cycle so "Today at five, massive shooting at Fort Hood. But first, is your cat in love with pumpkins?"
I've never been so angry at the "whatever, gee let's be swell" mentality of our Country before, but maybe that's because this is an obvious new low.

As an Army officer sworn to protect this country, the shooter committed treason. No two ways about it.
I now have to see armed guards at all the locations around Ft. Hood. This makes me angry and sad.
MSNBC is a joke. How dare they? I'm so mad I could spit.
We spent Thursday aftrernoon waiting and waiting for my husband to come home after being locked down on Ft. Hood. We barely left in time; the gate guard closed the gates after we zipped out of there. It was a scary, trying experience for me and my children.

A few thoughts:
Didartwife – Obama is not a Mohammedan. He may very well have been indoctrinated as one during his stint at the Madrassa in Malaysia. But his statements like, "we need to be partners with God" is blasphemy in Mohammedanism. Is he friendly to them? Sure. Was Bush friendly to them? You bet your sweet bippy he was.
Subvet – I agree with you 100%. I was one of the lone voices calling for greater scrutiny on Mohammedan immigrants and radicalized mosques as far back as 1994. When the embassy bombings happened in Kenya and Tanzania, I and many other people sent out warnings and fact-based predictions that the same would happen in the US. When Bush Jr kissed and held hands with Saudi princes around the rosegarden, telling the American public in the face, "Islam is a religion of peace" I nearly kicked my television in.
Obama scrapes his knuckles in front of Saudi royalty, Bush kisses and walks hand-in-hand with them. What has changed? Do any of you reading this have any idea how many people have been killed on US soil by Mohammedan extremists since 2002? The number may surprise you.
