Hello everyone,
I want to thank you for your continued support of my blogs as this last week has turned more political than I had wanted to, especially in the light of the upcoming Christmas season. However I don’t think the issues dealing with the Muslim faith infiltrating our society, taking advantage of our tolerance and then using our rules and laws against us is a left or right issue but an issue important to every American who doesn’t want to live under Sharia Law or feel the wrath of an Islamic terrorist. The Fort Hood tragedy is a tragedy on so many levels:
1. For the dead and the wounded servicemen,
2. For the fact that the murderer wasn’t shot dead but is being kept alive on taxpayer’s dollars,
3. The revelation of the deterioration of the United States Armed Forces due to the fact that political correctness has taken over its leadership,
4. The government’s and media’s reluctance to call Nidal Malik Hasan a terrorist. Instead the word here being used is “disgruntled”. Yes, a disgruntled muslim who was bullied…as if this seasoned army officer was a school child. The press from FOX NEWS to CNN has invited relatives and other Muslim pundits (on both TV and Web) to paint the picture of Hasan as a man driven to madness whose religion was only a side issue.
The only official I have heard make an ounce of sense in this matter is Senator Liberman, who called the slaughter an act of terrorism. It is sad but there is a portion of this country who was more willing to tie the Oklahoma Bombings in 1995 to talk radio and Christian Fundamentalism then there are people willing to condemn Hasan as an Islamic terrorist and traitor to the US Army whom he served in a time of war. The only problem with that loony logic is that the planes that were flown into buildings on September 11th weren’t, weren’t hijacked by Christians, or political shock jocks, but Islamic terrorists; neither is it Christian children running into crowded marketplaces blowing up innocent lives, and all though it is not our government official stance that we are fighting a war against Islam but of radical terrorists elements in the Middle East, it is muslim clerics who have justified attacks against America as well has sworn jihad against our nation.
An article was sent my way from the New York Post that clearly illustrates the tragedy of the mass murder and the absurdity of both the government’s and the media’s reaction. I ask you to read this article as the columnist, Ralph Reed, goes into great detail on just how devious a person this Hasan was, and how inept the government leadership was when handling a soldier who clearly sent up multiple red flags during his tenure at both Walter Reed Hospital in D.C. and at Fort Hood.
Please read an excerpt from the article below or click here to go to the complete article at the New York Post. And God Bless the men and women who serve not out of hatred, nor wage war against flesh and blood, but serve out of love of country and God, and fights against the tyranny and power of evil principalities that threaten all American’s freedom. If not for their sacrifice we’d be no more free then the enemies we fight abroad.
As always, Thank You for reading this blog,
Matt Thompson

Fort Hood’s 9/11 by Ralph Reed (New York Post)
Islamist terror strikes US again
Ralph Peters
On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting “Allahu Akbar!” committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam.
What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Ft. Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of non-denominational shoplifting.
This was a terrorist act. When an extremist plans and executes a murderous plot against our unarmed soldiers to protest our efforts to counter Islamist fanatics, it’s an act of terror. Period.
When the terrorist posts anti-American hate-speech on the Web; apparently praises suicide bombers and uses his own name; loudly criticizes US policies; argues (as a psychiatrist, no less) with his military patients over the worth of their sacrifices; refuses, in the name of Islam, to be photographed with female colleagues; lists his nationality as “Palestinian” in a Muslim spouse-matching program, and parades around central Texas in a fundamentalist playsuit — well, it only seems fair to call this terrorist an “Islamist terrorist.”
But the president won’t. Despite his promise to get to all the facts. Because there’s no such thing as “Islamist terrorism” in ObamaWorld.
And the Army won’t. Because its senior leaders are so sick with political correctness that pandering to America-haters is safer than calling terrorism “terrorism.”
And the media won’t. Because they have more interest in the shooter than in our troops — despite their crocodile tears.
Maj. Nadal Malik Hasan planned this terrorist attack and executed it in cold blood. The resulting massacre was the first tragedy. The second was that he wasn’t killed on the spot.
Hasan survived. Now the rest of us will have to foot his massive medical bills. Activist lawyers will get involved, claiming “harassment” drove him temporarily insane. There’ll be no end of trial delays. At best, taxpayer dollars will fund his prison lifestyle for decades to come, since our politically correct Army leadership wouldn’t dare pursue or carry out the death penalty.
Maj. Hasan will be a hero to Islamist terrorists abroad and their sympathizers here. While US Muslim organizations decry his acts publicly, Hasan will be praised privately. And he’ll have the last laugh.
But Hasan isn’t the sole guilty party. The US Army’s unforgivable political correctness is also to blame for the casualties at Ft. Hood.
Given the myriad warning signs, it’s appalling that no action was taken against a man apparently known to praise suicide bombers and openly damn US policy. But no officer in his chain of command, either at Walter Reed Army Medical Center or at Ft. Hood, had the guts to take meaningful action against a dysfunctional soldier and an incompetent doctor.
Had Hasan been a Lutheran or a Methodist, he would’ve been gone with the simoon. But officers fear charges of discrimination when faced with misconduct among protected minorities.
Now 12 soldiers and a security guard lie dead. 31 soldiers were wounded, 28 of them seriously. If heads don’t roll in this maggot’s chain of command, the Army will have shamed itself beyond moral redemption.
There’s another important issue, too. How could the Army allow an obviously incompetent and dysfunctional psychiatrist to treat our troubled soldiers returning from war? An Islamist whacko is counseled for arguing with veterans who’ve been assigned to his care? And he’s not removed from duty? What planet does the Army live on?
For the first time since I joined the Army in 1976, I’m ashamed of its dereliction of duty. The chain of command protected a budding terrorist who was waving one red flag after another. Because it was safer for careers than doing something about him.
Get ready for the apologias. We’ve already heard from the terrorist’s family that “he’s a good American.” In their world, maybe he is.
But when do we, the American public, knock off the PC nonsense?
A disgruntled Muslim soldier murdered his officers way back in 2003, in Kuwait, on the eve of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Recently? An American mullah shoots it out with the feds in Detroit. A Muslim fanatic attacks an Arkansas recruiting station. A Muslim media owner, after playing the peace card, beheads his wife. A Muslim father runs over his daughter because she’s becoming too Westernized.
Muslim terrorist wannabes are busted again and again. And we’re assured that “Islam’s a religion of peace.”
I guarantee you that the Obama administration’s non-response to the Ft. Hood attack will mock the memory of our dead.
