This is on the horrific act of terror committed against the young men and women of Fort Hood in Texas. You could just as rightly call this event and thusly this blog posting “Ignoring the Obvious.”

"Et tu, Hasan?"
The shooter, U.S. Army Major Hasan, had been giving off warning signs for years leading up to his treacherous rampage. He had exhibited gender harassment and other anti-social behavior, yet he was a senior-ranking psychiatrist that the Army never disciplined or dismissed. He was merely transferred. There was fear that any other course of action would arouse outcry of religious or minority discrimination, Allah forbid!
Maj. Hasan is on record for defending the heroism of suicide bombers, describing himself as “a Muslim first, and an American second,” and advisedly warning Army superiors that “we [militant Muslims] love death more than you love life.” I suppose that Maj. Hasan would refrain from singing “America, the Beautiful”, which has the lyrics:
“O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life!”
When such an individual as Maj. Hasan exhibits shaky allegiance to defend the U.S. Constitution and his fellow soldiers, he should not be excused from active duty but rather released from military service altogether! I don’t care if the so-called “sensitivity training” says otherwise. Questionable loyalty was once ample grounds for dismissal or denied eligibility to serve in uniform. It was standard procedure for thousands of years! Such an example is in the Bible where the king of the Philistines wants David, a currently defected warrior of Israel (a nation that the Philistines were at war with) to lead Philistine troops into battle against the Israelites! The general staff advised the king to change his mind and refuse David’s services, which turned out to be a good call. Eventually, David returned to Israel and took with him the Philistines’ technological advantage of metallurgy – wrought iron – back with him! [See 1 Samuel 27 & 29]
No one in the mainstream media as yet has marshaled the fortitude to call this an outright and unadulterated act of terrorism, the latest massacre in a struggle that we have been fighting within our own borders since 1993 when radical Islamists first bombed the World Trade Center. The liberal intelligentsia continually refuses to see the inherent bankruptcy of the diplomatic policy that making nice to violent Muslims will eventually make them nice to us. This same vanguard of leftist thinkers also refuse to admit the mounting evidence that a white-collar professional can simultaneously have an enlightened mind and a depraved soul.
