The patriot act is unfair, illegal and immoral you say?
When was the last attack on American soil? An American military base or entity?
Hasan, the shooter at Fort hood, was an American soldier of the Muslim faith. He had sent e-mails last year and this year to a radical Muslim cleric in Yemen, (FREEKIN YEMEN !!!!!!) U.S. officials have said. Intelligence agencies discovered the messages, but joint terrorism task forces determined they did not warrant further action.
The New York Times quoted an unidentified congressional official on Wednesday as saying the messages "were not overtly aggressive," but "should have raised flags."
Some will argue he was not a “terrorist’. That he acted alone and not a as a part of a larger organized entity. I disagree. I believe his actions, whether directed or otherwise affected by others were intended to cause maximum damage and fear. Clearly an act of terror and an act of war. He is, as defined by his actions, a radical Muslim fanatic. And terrorist.
He should have been noticed and detained long ago. We are still in Iraq and Afghanistan because too few people died on 9-11-01. (Think pearl) We as a society, as a nation, want to forget the horror from that day. We too easily want to forget,,,want to forgive. We need to stay pissed off. (Think pearl) See
We need to get mad enough and stay mad enough to finish the job.
Although things have calmed somewhat, great Britain continues to experience acts of terrorism on public targets at a more frequent rate than the U.S. This also true for Japan and Russia.
Know that if we don’t go there and get those animals, those animals will come here. Hasan was just one guy, and he only killed 13 people. The patriot act and eaves-dropping caught his communiqués. Discretion gave him a pass. <> Again, the failure was judgment.. someone became complacent. It’s ok. He’s ok. We have to be tolerant remember? He has the right. Right?
I have no more room for fanatic Muslims than I do for fanatic Christians. Witnessed knocking on my front door when I’m eating a baby backs playing Late September Dogs…
Racial profiling? Fuk you. Its not profiling. I don’t care if you think it’s fair. It’s not profiling when a lion picks out the lame wildebeest out of the pack. He sticks out because he is different. He draws that attention unto himself. THEN he whines that he is a victim. Thank God
Hasan should have been “gathered” up sometime ago. Somebody got too worried about hurting his feelings or offending his right to be Muslim. 12 people died for it.
The Salahi’s got past all the security “machine” processes and socially engineered their way past what is supposed to be the tightest security screening in the free world. One little James Bond / Batman cyanide scratching poison ring and they could taken out the pres, vice pres and Benson.
I hope staff has all had their swine flu vaccinations or we could still be at risk as a nation.
The damage these goonies have done to the credibility of our governments security capabilities is unmeasurable. How many corn fed hillbillies will now be inspired to at least TRY to sneak a picture with the pres’? Whats next? Crop circles in the WH lawn?
Below is a portion of a publication form CNN about these dorks, and it seems to mirror my views …

Prosecute the White House gate-crashers

Editor's note: Ed Rollins, a senior political contributor for CNN, is senior presidential fellow at the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency at Hofstra University. He was White House political director for President Reagan and chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
New York (CNN) -- The gate crashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi want to be famous as stars of reality television. I am all for that. Give them a reality television series and call it "Trial and Jailtime" in the D.C. criminal justice system. This despicable, desperate, duplicitous couple disgraced the Secret Service and embarrassed the president in his home.
They totally overshadowed the president's meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the leader of an important ally. The incident made the Obamas' first state dinner, honoring the prime minister and his wife, Gursharan Kaur, fodder for comedians -- and it certainly raises security concerns for other world leaders visiting at later dates.
The gate-crashers need to be held accountable and not glorified.
Unless they have some excuse we haven't heard yet, the Salahis deserve to be charged with criminal trespassing and lying to federal officers for starters. Yes, they dressed for the occasion, but the Salahis are no different, and shouldn't be regarded any differently, than a nut case who jumps over the White House fence and tries to run in the front door. The only difference is that the fence-jumper would be shot ten feet from his entrance point.
Now this stupid post is a big fat fake. I copy/pasted a fat portion of the content which embarrasses me muchly. I would so prefer that my blog was just My Blog. I miss the days when my brain put words together better… But it helps make my point and also reassures me that I am not a raving ranting lunar-tic as I am occasionally accused.
Ed later writes this:
“So I have to tell you I am appalled at the comments by the Secret Service spokesman who was described as saying it hadn't been determined whether party-crashing is technically illegal. He went on to say he didn't believe the Salahis posed a security risk. Spin control is not needed now. Responsibility is the key word.”
They may have not intended a direct immediate risk, but they have left this cigarette ember quietly smoking in recesses we are not yet aware. But know that somewhere, there is a small orange glimmer, awaiting a puff of air to give volume to his voice and be heard by the world.
Where will he be when he speaks? Where will you be?
One of the most famous quotes accredited Benjamin Franklin is: "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Get al cliché if u wish, but I feel fairly safe here on American soil. Well, I did.
