Clear out the mosques in the United States. End this madness. Islam is not a religion. That is very clear to anybody paying attention. It is an 8th century-minded killing machine.
And the bleeding hearts in the USA elected, at the very least, a Moslem sympathizer as Commander in Chief.
Here in Berkeley, Moslem “Palestinians” are holding vigils asking Americans not to retaliate against “all Muslims” based on this traitor’s actions.
Pish. Throw them all out of the USA now.
Ignore this at our own peril.
Bear1909 out.
with an illegal alien under each arm.
I have missed you all.
Seems like our elected reps don’t give a fig about screening immigrants and upholding defined and legitimate immigration laws. The Fort Hood killer is an Islamic terrorist, plain and simple. How come there’s no condemnation being vocalized from any Muslim community?
To the families and soldiers in the Ft. Hood community – many prayers for God’s blessing on you and may you take comfort in knowing that they have entered into God’s glorious presence.
(FS, USAF Ret.)
Misscheryl, haven’t seen you on for awhile, hope all is ok with you.
The Israeli Defense Forces YouTube channel shows the interception of tons of munitions on a ship from Iran to Hezbollah.
http://www.youtube.com/user/idfnadesk
Israel should return those weapons! (Pointy end first.)
I wonder how long I could openly talk at my employer about killing Muslims before I was terminated?
Michelle was insulted this morning on “Fox and Friends” by a black male guest who said every time Michelle opens her mouth, she makes Sarah Palin sound like the president of Mensa.
Brian Kilmeade defended MM.
How about forcing our Congressmen/women to be accountable for their actions, for a change? Can’t someone petition the Supreme Court to assess Obamacare, Card Check, et al, for their obvious Constitutional violations?
Any takers out there? Bueller?
Jason Rodriguez of Orlando, Fla. -
No doubt his faith and his being of Cuban or Hispanic descent will be made an issue.
I do not think it should.
I’d like to rise in unanimous support and consent for Bear1909. It sounds harsh, but harsh is the new normal. I haven’t really seen evidence that being nice is getting us anywhere.
Hasan was born in Virginia.
There is.
Angry black male? No! Someone call Nazi Pelosi!
They are starting to release the names of the victims of the Islamic militant at Fort Hood. So far the victims were in their 20′s and one was a young female who was pregnant. I am so sorry that these lives were cut so short on what should be the safety of an American Army Base. I am sorry that you were all cut down after returning home from overseas duty, these young people must have been so happy to be home and ready to see their loved ones. I am sorry that the liberal, pc goons in this country caused your death.
I have read this guy had two handguns, then I read he had two but only fired one. How is it possible he hit 40-odd people?
Oh thanks chap, a non apology from the front group for terrorism, CAIR.
I think most of us would like to hear from any muslims not associated with CAIR.
Another shooting in Killeen, TX. I remember the slaughter at Luby’s in 1991. When I see those steel/concrete posts in front of restaurants, I’m reminded of that shooting.
Now, Killeen has suffered another mass murder. God be with the families of the wounded and the dead.
I’ll believe it when they condenm sharia law and provide atty’s for the victims of sharia law.
They can start with the teen who was run over by her father and died this past Monday or the teen that is getting shipped from Florida back to Ohio.
Then they can talk to me about how they “strongly condenm” this.
The peaceful religion of islam, my @$$.
From our friends at BigGovernment.com – Louisiana state investigators raid ACORN’s New Orleans office.
I’m sure the boss will have more when she gets to a computer.
TGIF Indeed
I am bewildered – I am just an ignorant Fox news watcher but, why in the hell are we not drilling our oil? Over 100 years worth of BLACK GOLD is buried under our lands, and we have the audacity to let it rot when we are at 10.2 unemployment.
It would create jobs, wealth and awesome gas prices. Also, we would become self sufficient – a real American trait.
Nahh, lets wait until another crisis drops at our feet, then say 15 years is too far out to start drilling. Our gods in congress truly are fools … not really, we are until we get term limits and get them out.
Who asked for an apology? I posted a condemnation, per the original query.
On November 6th, 2009 at 4:39 pm, chapoutier said:
And wasn’t one of the first condolences after 9/11 from the Taliban Government in Afghanistan as well?
And no, not being conspiracy minded.
Pretty sad when a native born American hates us all. Oh, and Hasan too.
My take on the guy is that he is very Americanized and has tried to make a success of himself in the military and through his medical studies. Apparently he never did as well as he wanted. Doesn’t sound like he had a marriage or relationship either.
He may have had some personal psychiatric issues that were unaddressed as many people do who choose to go into that field.
He may have gravitated back to old school Islam at times when he felt he wasn’t succeeding as he did at the end, supposedly starting to wear Muslim clothes.
He was approaching midlife with a lot of emptiness and about to be sent off to war.
If he was a dyed-in-the-wool terrorist, he would have blown himself up to ensure his martyrdom. Instead he did it Americanized Columbine style.
aaah…that explains it. Makes sense.
Some places have reported even though he was born in Virginia he identified his nationality as Palestinian, which is his family’s land of origin.
John Mohammed used a rifle, another guy used a pickup truck. Whatever is at hand.
ON the Pelosi thread- Demonrat owens breaks 4 campaign pledges in first hour as Congressman.
Demonrats lie to win. They are all scum eating Marxists, they know Americans don’t want Marxism, so they all run as moderates, except the ones from degenerate districts like Pelosi.
I believe he was talking about Michelle Bauchman, not MM. At least they were talking about the Bauchman rally on the steps of the capital at the time, so I assumed he was talking about Bauchman.
I could be wrong, since I was getting ready for work.
Well, there are stylistic considerations. ;o)
Not just anything will do if you want to make a big statement.
I saw that panel this morning, but I thought he was talking about Michele Bachmann because they were discussing the protesters at the capitol building yesterday. Please correct me if I’m wrong about that.
This was a terrorist attack on a military installation by an infiltrator during ‘the war on terror’ or whatever ‘the one’ calls it.
That makes it an act of war not a ‘Tragedy’.
It will be difficult, but like minded muslims will have to be at least removed from the military.
FWITW In retrospect one downhill step performed by Rome was incorporating their ‘Barbarians’ into the military.
I should have added that the comment was uncalled for regardless.
You could very well be right. In fact, it’s more likely you are because I didn’t catch much before that comment.
Anyway, I consider that just as offensive.
Now, now Uplander. The Commander in Chief has asked that we sit back, take a deep breath and not jump to conclusions. Even though it’s quacking pretty loudly and walks funny.
I wish, wish, wish we would close our borders and sent every one back. I’ll go one further, for “those” born in Virginie, they can go live where their heart is. A wise man told me once, it’s hard to live in one place when your heart is in another. I’m for cleaning house! But so far, all we do is talk about it.
15 years ago a guy in my unit, he was a weird character, made a comment that he was going to “take care of” a few guys in our unit. The commander was notified, investigated and within a few days the MP’s were searching his house, pulling out a small arsenal of guns for lockup at the armory and the guy was moved onto the base in barracks lock up until he finished his mental health evaluation. He was discharged and probably a few people’s lives were saved.
Now we have this guy, someone who was making disparaging comments about the U.S. and American fighting men and who apparently believed his ideology was more important than his oath. He is under a long, drawn out investigation (so that the military can avoid the possibility of being called insensitive) giving him plenty of time to complete his mission of death for his comrades. PC killed honorable Americans just to possibly save face for some dick weed Muslim.
For some reason, Michelle Bachmann is the new target of the loony left. I noticed Charles Johnson at Little Red Goofballs has launched a jihad on her.
Strong women like Congresswoman Bachmann, Ann Coulter and Mrs. Malkin scare liberal pansies. Sarah Palin is an excellent case in point.
NumbersUSA is mobilizing our 920,000 members to contact their Representatives to urge defeat of the Rule to bring H.R. 3692 to the House floor.
“NumbersUSA takes no position on the non-immigration parts of the bill. But Speaker Pelosi and the Rules Committee have broken the promises that Pres. Obama made that illegal aliens would be excluded from any part of a new federal health care plan.
“The loopholes that are being allowed in H.R. 3692 would be yet another major incentive for illegal foreign workers to break immigration laws to take jobs from American workers.
“NumbersUSA will grade all Representatives on their vote on the Rule.
“Representatives voting YES can expect their decision to be viewed as an anti-American-worker and pro-illegal-immigration action during the campaigns of 2010.”
Is that your version of a Big Bang theory?
Chap: I KNOW where this terrorist was born….I wasn’t talking about him specifically. I was talking about all the other terrorists hiding out with their imams in the mosques in the US because of lax immigration law practices. Sheesh–you can be so obtuse. Need link to read about all of the condemnation being directed toward islamic terrorism coming from the Muslim/Islamic community anywhere please.
Does anyone believe, based on the actions of this president and congress, that they give a rats azz if our military goes down the toilet? HUMMMM?
I remember a Second Class ET back in the day, onboard the USS Chuck Wagon (CVN-70), who had gone to nuke school or prototype with the RC02 head, an ETCS. He was going over the bend, and was two years from his 20 years. He used to ‘pleasure himself’ in the showers and make no attempt to hide it.
I spent 6 hours alone with him, he was the log recorder, I was the shutdown RO. They weren’t going to get him evaluated, but they weren’t going to let him qualify any important watch stations either. Anyway, he was convinced he knew ‘the secrets of the Bible’, and people were watching him.
Shortly thereafter, he assaulted some master at arms, screaming they were after the secrets of the Bible, and he disappeared.
Of course, he wasn’t a Muslim. I suspect he got out on a disability discharge.
No. She has been a favorite target of ours for some time. Ahhhh…I remember like it was yesterday the first time we mocked her…It was the 2007 State of the Union when she assaulted Bush…good times…
You sure made it seem like you were. But I will believe that you were simply imprecise.
frontierguy, you really nailed it!
Ah, Palistine. More peace loving people. I hope Hasan finally wakes up and realizes he doesn’t have 72 virgins. Does the Military still use the firing squad?
Who do you want to hear from?
Let’s not get into that as it will produce zero and I don’t have my crucifix and garlic handy.
Thanks, I’m so depressed today I can’t stand it. I know you shouldn’t drink when you are down, but there is not enough booze in the Gaslamp Quarter for me tonight.
Safe travels.
Are you depressed about what’s going on in the country and the world???
Some “good news” if you want to see a change of government. Unemployment is now 10.2%. It looks like it will not go lower than 9% by 2010 elections. That will be good material for conservatives looking to unseat those liberals. So, something to smile about…with apologies to those unemployed.
Does everyone know that the “one” signed a 24 billon dollar stimulus bill today? I watched his display yesterday live and it was a sad display to say the least when he committed on the shootings at Fort Hood. My prayers to the family’s and eveyone affected.
Always, California for a blue state does not play when it comes to DUI’s (except for the illegals, they could get 20 and nothing really happens to them, just a free ride to the border), so for us citizens, always cab it in Cali…
That is in answer to my question?
Actually, things are looking up. How about Virginia and New Jersey?
Also it “smelled” kinda clean on canal street in nola today. Lets hope they keep digging.
Oh, geez. Maybe frontierguy would like to have a gin and tonic with me later.
Oh no, zorro said safe travel, i thought it was addressed to me since I said I was going to tie one on tonight, always meant I never drink and drive…. I have some other things going on to be down about (nothing serious), but the Ft Hood thing hit me hard too.
I am having a scotch and water myself. Had to turn CNN cause it does not go well with scotch. the judge is on fox instead of glenn and he is fired up.
True, and that ban on giving any funds to ACORN was extended to the end of the year.
Having a rum and coke, watching Sprint Car qualifying. Heck with the world for an evening. Wife is fixing some fish. We’ll sit and watch some racing or an educational channel.
That is hard to believe.
Racing is always good for the soul. Texas will be good but Jimmy has it wrapped.
I hadn’t heard that. But happy to hear it. It needs to be permanent.

Believe!
I go downtown in 4 hours to a bar and meet up with friends, a moment of solemn silence for everyone who faced tragedy yesterday at Ft. Hood, then a good double belt, glasses up for the hero Kim Munley yesterday, thank you for doing your duty when called upon you bada$$ chica… That will start off the night.
Oh I believe that. I saw it earlier today.
I was saying it was hard to believe that it smelled good anywhere in NOLA.
Does anyone know where Kim took the bullet(s)?
Frontierguy.
She is a hell of a woman for what she did.
Also glasses up cause they are saying they don’t have the votes for the Health takeover. Probably delayed till Sunday and still won’t happen.
I heard no way it gets through the Senate.
Now that I can drink to.
Nlebou
It is one nasty city. I don’t know why people vist here except to work.I go home to Florida to clean the nose.
The Senate won’t pass it. But crazy Nancy will try. What a piece of work that is now.
Never did like NO
I have lived in Louisiana all my life and have only been to NO a few times. Mostly to the airport.
Dennis Miller says Nancy Pelosi is sub-reptillian.
sgcwi…I have a brother in Gulf Breeze.
I love Miller. He is the only reason I miss HBO
Is he even on HBO anymore?
He appears frequently on O’Reilly.
Yeah, I see him on O’Reilly.
He is hilarious. About the only celebrity I can stomach anymore.
and as many as they can stuff in a duffle bag or back pack!!!
depending upon the angle of attack, it’s very possbile that a single bullet wounded more than one person…I somehow think though that he either fired more than reported or the responders could have wounded a few by errant fire. We may or may never know all the facts…although we should and so should the families!
Do you know where Landreau stands on the health care bill today?
We put in behind the School in Gulf Breeze. P’Cola rocks.
And Dennis was nice to Nancy, she quoted that there are people that have worked their whole lives to pass that Healt Disgrace. What a telling statement. Same as Clayburns saying congress does alot that is not in the Constitution.
I heard he had a semi-automatic????
She is actually against the public option, and held a Town Hall and went off about it. But they are a unique Family
I heard he did not have a semi-automatic and had to re-load.
Is that possible?
Have a great week-end guys. I have a very important date. Hubby is taking me out to eat!!!!
I sure hope you are right.
Anyway…gotta run
Have a good one.
Lucky girl!
I truely am!!!!
not much on for online petitions but here’s one asking for a silver star for the Kimberly Munley the officer who help stop the Fort Hood gunman….If I were her I wouldn’t want dear leader anywhere near the ceremony…
http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?DocF8425
They said they shot him when he was reloading. They said he had 2 semi’s and one was a fln loaded with cop killer rounds. But just like the FBI coming out and saying 1 1/2 hours into it that it was not a terrosim thing it will take awhile to really find out. my Question is why did the Army say that he was dead and come out later and say he was wounded??
So how many shots could you make with a semi before you need to reload?
NY23 newly sworn in congress critter has already broken 4 campaign promises. The biggest lie was that he was against the public option. Now….he’s all for it.
When I deployed the SRC was a busy place. For so many to have been hit, I think maybe there were so many people he did not need to aim much. It still is somewhat unbelievable, one thing for sure, he was calm. I’m guessing he expected to die. I would not expect to much death and damage without a long arm. He was practicing for this event.
Depends on clip size. You can still find 30 round clips which is 31 with one in the chamber. But if you have a 10 round with one in the chamber and you have a round that penterates and wounds others it is hard to say. But Kay Bailey Hutischion said that he went after certain people that he targeted.
I did hear that he stood up on a table or counter. The area is said to have many cubicles for individual consultations so he was shooting down and could strike heads.
The Army is to blame for the Ft. Hood tragedy. It didn’t have to happen! In the past 24-hours we have learned that there were plenty of warning signs about the fanaticism of Maj. Hasan, a loose cannon that could have been put in check, but for the political correctness foisted upon all branches of our services since the end of WWII.
Think about it and where we are today. And CHAP, you are the poster child for this disease that has infected our country!
Uh, oh…..
3..2…1….
