On the way into work today, I listened to KFYI and the Barry Young show. They were talking about Major Nadal Hassan and his terrorist attack at Ft. Hood. Senator Susan Collins from Maine is reporting that the White House has identified Major Hassan’s attack as workplace violence instead of the terrorist attack it surely was. This White House does not really know who we are fighting. They refuse to call a terrorist a terrorist. They go all PC and call a terrorist everything, except for what he/she is.
Since this White House is unable to identify who we are fighting, they should be disqualified from running for President in 2012. If you cannot identify the enemy after 10 years of fighting, you will never be able to identify the enemy. I am not saying all Muslims are the enemy. I am saying that when a Muslim kills people while calling out, “Abu Akbar”, you have a terrorist attack. It is the Abu Akbar that puts it over the line into a terrorist attack. Workplace violence would not include the Abu Akbar portion of the attack.
The problems with Major Hassan started after he was in the military. When he joined the military, he was patriotic. After he joined, he got involved with some radical Muslims at a Mosque near Washington, D.C. After that period, he started having problems reconciling his oath to protect the United States from all enemies and his new radical Muslim understanding that all infidels should be killed. Finally, he decided that his obligation to Allah was greater than his obligation to the United States. So, he planned and carried out the plan to kill his fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood.
One question asked during the Barry Young show was, “Should all Muslims be automatically disqualified from serving in the US military in any branch?” They finally came to the conclusion that the answer was, No! The reason is that if a Muslim is not radicalized, he/she is perfectly able to serve as an honorable member of our armed services. It is the radicalized Muslims that are the problem. Weeding out the radical Muslims that sign up should be possible due to intake procedures. The problem comes in when the radicalization comes after they are already in the military, like Major Hassan. Major Hassan’s supervisors and co-workers saw the problem, but would not take action because of political correctness. In order to have Muslims in the Military, they would need to be monitored to determine if they are radicalized or not. Then, the people that make the determination have to be able to take action without fear of retribution. Without that ability to act, more Major Hassan’s are inevitable.
The current occupant in the White House has shown that he is unable to identify the enemy. That is a major problem. Members of his administration have also shown a similar lack of ability to identify the enemy. Janet Napolitano not only cannot identify the enemy, but she is unable to see that people are coming into this country illegally. Lack of identifying our problems and enemies, appears to be rampant within our government right now. That screams out for a change in the people that staff the highest levels of our government. Since the problem starts with the person occupying the top spot, President, and goes all the way down to those running departments, wholesale change is needed. If it was just a few people, we could correct that with some personnel decisions. This problem calls out for drastic action. The drastic action I am calling out for is defeat of the current administration at the polls in November 2012. We need to make sure that we are not just electing a Republican Progressive to replace the Democrat Progressive that occupies the office of President of the United States. Vetting the Republicans to weed out the Progressives is a big task. The current leader is a Republican Progressive, Newt Gingrich. He needs to be replaced with someone who is not a Progressive. It is difficult to determine who is a Progressive as they try and hide. That is why the election season is as long one. It gives us time to see which one is a Progressive and which one is not.
