Most of the news and opinion outlets have spun the Fort Hood massacre as not necessarily a radical Muslim terrorist attack. Well, I'm not a news outlet and I don't have to be politically correct, so, it was a terrorist attack and it was committed by an anti-American fully cognisant religious zealot. Clear enough?
When will this obsession with tender speech directed toward Islam end? For the weak hearted, never, but for the stout hearted, right now. I don't like Islam or any degree of it but I concede the right of Muslims to their belief and the free exercise thereof. Our Constitution guarantees it, but I have the right to stay as clear of it as possible. And, until I am shown solid evidence to the contrary I will believe that most Muslims are in sympathy with the Islamic terrorists. Now back to Fort Hood.
This tragedy could have been avoided if the warning signs which were everywhere, that Major Nidal Hasan was indeed a jihadist and a ticking time bomb, were heeded. But of course that would have been politically incorrect and totally unacceptable. Thus, America is one step closer to becoming a footnote in history as the country that squandered it's most valuable asset, Liberty.
Who's to blame for America's troubles? Is it the out of control government officials? Perhaps it's the liberals who are so touchy freely that their brains, if they have any, are on permanent furlough. Maybe it's those who know better but are too lazy to do anything about it. I vote for the latter. America is in a downward spiral because good people do nothing and as it has been often said, " the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." I ask, are those who do nothing really good? I think not. Could they be if they rise up? Absolutely. But will they? Probably not.
