Last night on the way home, I was listening to the Mark Levin show. One of the callers talked about how they were excited about all the events that happened yesterday in Washington, D.C. After the event, they got to their car and heard about the shooting at Fort Hood in Texas. That was a letdown after the high of the event organized by Michelle Bachmann, Republican from Minnesota.

Having these two events at nearly the same time highlights the urgency of the problem. The positive event in Washington was to show our Congressional Representatives that we are serious about keeping the American way of life. The negative event in Texas showed us that we cannot be too careful when it comes to terrorists.

Officially, the Major that killed those soldiers was just trying to commit suicide. He had been upset for a long time about the role of the United States in this war against Islamo-Fascism. He converted to Islam only 5 years ago. During that time, he increasingly had problems with American involvement in the Middle East. He had been transferred to Fort Hood after a negative work report in his previous assignment. He may have been trying to commit suicide, but you do not do that and bring others to the event. This smells like a terrorist event. It looks like a terrorist event. It sounds like a terrorist event. The fact that the government is not calling it a terrorist event does not mean that it is not a terrorist event. We will probably never know the truth about what happened. We may learn a lot of the facts, but there will always be something left unsaid. The fact that he was a Muslim should figure prominently in the reports. The fact that he is a Muslim is hardly mentioned, except as background material.

This shooting at Fort Hood tells us that we have more to do when it comes to security in our Armed Forces. If a Major can commit murders like this, then there are probably other suspects out there. That this Major was a convert to Islam within the past 5 years sounds to me like something that should be looked into. I am not saying that every convert to Islam is a murderer or terrorist. I am saying that they should be checked to determine whether they are security risks. That is because another recent convert to Islam killed those soldiers at the beginning of the war to liberate Iraq by rolling a grenade into a tent. For these reasons, they should be checked for a potential security risk.

The two events yesterday should be a wake-up call for the Obama administration. Somehow I do not think that the Obama administration will wake up. I have a feeling that they are deliberately sleeping on the job when it comes to security. I cannot prove that last statement, but it just feels that way. The Obama administration does not support the troops like the Bush administration did. They use the troops as photo ops instead of bonding with the soldiers, marines and sailors they come in contact with. George W. Bush always made it a point to bond with the military units he visited. He would walk among them and shake hands. He gave them what they needed to do their jobs. I do not see any of that from the Obama administration.

Michelle Bachmann’s “Tea Party” was meant to drive home to our elected representatives that we are serious. The elections last Tuesday showed that the voters in blue states are serious about what is going on. That there were at least 10,000+ at the event yesterday showed that people across the country are serious. It is time for Congress to get serious. We will see if they get the message. Or we WILL see that they get the message next November.

Barack Obama is in the Middle East on his latest apology tour. This will be a huge disaster for the United States. Muslim fanatics respect only one thing and that is strength. If you apologize, that is a sign of weakness. That makes this tour a sign of weakness from the United States. The leaders of the Muslim fanatic groups have been telling their followers that the Americans are paper tigers. We will fight hard for a time, and then give up. We have been fighting for a time. Now we are appearing to give up with this latest Obama apology tour.

Since taking office, Barack Obama has gone to South America and Europe to apologize for past American behavior. He has also apologized for any American wrongs that the South Americans and Europeans may have thought happened. If he pulls that stunt with the Muslims, we are likely to get our head handed to us on a plate.

My ancestors, including my father, fought for this country to keep it free. Barack Obama in five months has apologized for the actions of my ancestors in trying to keep us free. I take exception to that. I believe that the actions of my ancestors were honorable. They fought in every war up to and including World War II. I would have fought in Vietnam, except I flunked the physical.

Muslims believe that we are at war with Islam. What Barack Obama should say to the Muslims is that we have taken five separate occasions where we sent in our military to bail out Muslims from oppressive regimes, thereby freeing millions of Muslims from oppression and murder. He should also say that even though the Muslim population is low in the United States, there have been few reports of any harassment of Muslims. They should look at themselves and say what would happen to Christians if Christians killed 3,000 Muslims. Then they should look at what America has done. That will tell them the truth. Unfortunately, fanatical Muslims are not looking for the truth; they are looking for Muslim domination of the world.

This apology tour will do nothing to heal differences between us and Muslims. It will do wonders to the ranks of fanatical Muslims. They can claim, with some validity, that they are winning. Even though the casualty lists show that more terrorists are killed than Americans, they will make that claim. The same was true in Vietnam. We killed more Viet Cong and North Vietnamese than they did of our troops and the South Vietnamese, yet we lost because we lost the will to fight. That appears to be happening now with Barack Obama in the White House.

Israel is being told to commit suicide or not get American help. Israel can see the writing on the wall. They know that at this time, they are completely on their own. If they want Iran stopped, they have to do the stopping. America will do nothing as long as Barack Obama is in the White House. With Barack Obama and the advisors he has that hate all Israel stands for; Israel has no support within the administration. Israel has enormous support in the country, but none in the administration. That means Obama has to appear to support Israel while not supporting Israel. That is a tricky road to walk on.

I look for many bad things to happen because of this tour to the Middle East. They will happen slowly so that nobody will really notice that they happen. We are being left open to attack. Israel is being left open to attack. Soon, there will be an attack upon Israel or America that will kill a lot of people. That might get the attention of the Obama administration, or not. Barack Obama is more concerned with destroying capitalism and delivering universal government health care to be worried about such things as terrorist attacks.
