It was has been relesed that Major Nidal Malik Hasan is the name of the Army Officer that was the shooter at Fort Hood. It was also stated by Fox News that he was “a recent convert to Islam.” CNN reports that he was a psychiatrist who had worked at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and recently transferred to Fort Hood. He was currently working at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood. MSNBC has reported that he “was about to be deployed to Iraq and was ‘upset about it’.”
Hasan used a semi-automatic weapon in the attack at the Soldier Readiness Center at Fort Hood. He was shot by a female civilian police officer Sgt. Kimberly Munley, a 34-year-old mom of two. Only three minutes after Hasan had fired on fellow soldiers, Munley had tracked him down outside a pre-deployment facility, where she confronted Hasan.
Munley with her two daughters.
Chuck Medley, director of emergency services at Fort Hood described what happened, “She fired on him twice and drew the attention toward her. He immediately spun around and charged her. She fired a couple more rounds and fell back, continuing to fire. She struck him a couple times in the upper torso and he went down.” During the exchange Sgt. Munley was hit in both legs and her wrist. One round struck an artery and she lost a lot of blood, but she is expected to fully recover. Lets all pray for this outstanding lady’s speedy recovery.
In total Hasan was shot 4 times and is listed in stable condition. Hasan is currently in custody and is being treated for his wounds. Let us all hope for his full recovery so that the Army can have him before a firing squad by next summer. I hope they offer it on Pay-Per-View.
Do we need any further proof that Muslims are our enemy? I mean seriously people, we need to wake up and start keeping an eye out for those that are our enemies. How many people have to die before we are willing to accept who we need to target? Do you see now that political correctness gets people killed?
In my opinion, this is further confirmation that the “religion of peace” is anything but that.
As you can see I refuse to address that thing as “Senator” now. For those of you that haven’t heard Barbara Boxer from California had the nerve to stop a Brigadier General during a hearing and demand that he call her “Senator” instead of saying “ma’am”. Now it is common military courtesy to address people as “sir” or “ma’am” as a sign of respect. So there is nothing disrespectful about it. She simply wanted to attempt to humble a general. She then went on to say “It’s just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I’d appreciate it, yes, thank you.” She worked hard for it? She got elected to an office. How in the hell is that working hard for anything? You put in long hours lying to Californians? Do you mean to imply its harder to get elected to the office of Senator than it is to work your way to the rank of Brigadier General in the United States Army? Give me a break you unappreciative, self absorbed, disrespectful, clueless bitch.
I demand you issue an official apology to General Walsh…IMMEDIATELY! While you’re at it why don’t you tank him for his long career, and how much work it took to get to where he is today.
General Walsh, I personally would like to thank you for your service and every sacrifice you have made in the service of our great nation. Please accept my apology as a private citizen for what you have been subjected to at the hands of the U.S. Senate. I’m ashamed and appalled at the utter lack of respect that was displayed towards you while appearing before our elected officials in Washington D.C.

What has our great nation come to? I mean seriously…we resettle terrorist? Some officials have said that they have made no plans to hurt anyone. Hello Mcfly?! Hello?! They were captured at a damn terrorist training camp! That pretty much sounds like panning to me! What the hell would they be doing there otherwise?! To top it all off we are paying $200 million to resettles these killers on Bermuda in the Caribbean and Palau in the Pacific. That averages out to about $12 million per terrorist. People in the United States are having a hard time finding jobs or keeping houses over their kids heads, and we are paying $200 million to resettle the people that want to kill us on tropical paradise islands?! Does anyone else have a problem with this?
The Swine Flu epidemic is a joke people. The regular flu kills more people than this does, yet it leads the headlines everyday. Last year more people died from Diarrhea than Swine Flu has killed in total. That’s right…more people shit themselves to death last year than have died from Swine Flue! So get a grip people! Can’t anyone see that the news networks needed to invent an emergency to boost their ratings…Give me a break. There are far more important things to be worried about, like asteroids hitting the Earth or 2012! Don’t you people watch the history channel?!
Just yesterday I was walking into the grocery store and some lady was blocking the entrance while she used hand sanitizer wipes to wipe down her buggy and her hands. To say I was irritated would be an understatement. I politely informed the lady that those hand sanitizer wipes were a waste of time and suggested she wear rubber gloves everywhere she went. I also pointed out to not bother with them unless she had enough wipes to wipe off every item she touched on the store shelf and everything she touched at the checkout counter. I hope I scared the hell out of her…stupid people.
So I heard on the news that Obama bowed to the Saudi King. This shocked me so much that I had to look it up on YouTube myself (See video below). Needless to say I am simply furious now.
I can’t believe that he had the gall while acting as our head of state to bow to a foreign king! What the hell is wrong with him? This is an utter embarrassment and an insult to our national pride, each and every American citizen, and to every member of our armed forces throughout history!
I know what some of you are saying…”Oh he just bowed…So what?” He is a head of state, and more to the point, whether we hate this worthless son of a bitch or not, he is our head of state. For him to bow to another head of state implies that he is subservient to them, in this case that royal Saudi goat fucker. At most he should have shook hands with him and left it at that.
I cannot put to words the amount of disgust that I feel towards this joke that has been elected to lead our nation. To all of you people that voted for change…I hope your happy with the change that you got. Be sure to send a thank you card next year along with your taxes.
It is important to call each and every politician, regardless of party affiliation, on any wrong doings they may be a part of. Americans must remember that Congressmen are elected by we the people, and are answerable to us for their actions or lack thereof.
Barney Frank is Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives. I think its important to understand who it is that we are talking about and what motivates him in his decisions. This is a quote from that committee’s website financialservices.house.gov:
“The Committee oversees all components of the nation’s housing and financial services sectors including banking, insurance, real estate, public and assisted housing, and securities. The Committee continually reviews the laws and programs relating to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Federal Reserve Bank, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and international development and finance agencies such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.”
So with that description, it is clear that this committee oversees laws and policy that governs financial aspects of our nation. Now as I have stated before Barney Frank servers as Chairman of that committee, and with that position comes power to influence it, control it, and limit debate on issues. So in that position he holds a large amount of power over the United States financial policy. (To see an example of Barney Frank exercising and abusing his power, please look at the brief video below and description.)
Facts concerning what is being talked about in the previous video as of October 2008:
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s home district includes San Francisco.
Star-Kist Tuna’s headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi’s home district.
Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major contributor to Pelosi.
Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa employing 75% of the Samoan workforce.
Paul Pelosi, Nancy’s husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist stock.
In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than their competition’s.
In October 2008, when the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill adding $33 million dollars for an ‘economic development credit in American Samoa’ that is available to companies operating there.
With the understanding of Barney Frank’s influence on the House Financial Services Committee, lets look at what industry sectors made financial contributions to him and his political campaign. These numbers were taken from documents released by Barney Frank’s 2007 - 2008 political campaign and are located at OpenSecrets.org.
Securities & Investment $236,500
Real Estate $221,351
Insurance $202,548
Lawyers/Law Firms $187,728
Commercial Banks $120,950
Misc Finance $85,900
Accountants $74,150
Also Fannie and Freddie Mac’s contributions to Barney Frank as seen at OpenSecrets.org
Frank, Barney D-MA $40,100
Now I ask you, can a congressman that accepts such contributions as these be trusted with overseeing a committee that serves as an oversight committee to the financial policies of our nation? Can no one else see that these contributors, despite what you may be told by the contributors and even Frank himself, are buying Frank’s influence?
It is important that American citizens hold our elected representatives accountable for what they have done. They created the situation that we are in. The video below is an example of what we all should be doing to our congressmen.
The founding basis of our nation, clearly stated by George Washington, is that we are a nation of laws. The highest law of the land is the United States Constitution, and all laws are derived from it. To depart from the clearly stated mandates of the Constitution invites extreme danger to the rights of citizens. The Constitution is not a document that gives you your rights, instead it is a document that protects your God-given rights and limits the power of government to certain boundaries.
It has been said time and time again that absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Constitution’s role is designed to limit the power, and thus the tyranny, of the government. At all times government must be actively limited to the powers expressly granted to it by the Constitution, especially when others try to expand those governmental powers or overstep their constitutionally mandated bounds. To do otherwise invites the spread of governmental tyranny and abuse like a cancer. Always remember, the government never gives you anything for free, it is always at the cost of part of your most precious asset, your freedom.
What we see below is a clear abuse of governmental power. Look carefully and you will see the face of tyranny.
I’m so sick of the way things are going in my country. America is having some serious financial problems and politicians want to play *%&$ing games. We are on the verge of an outright depression. We are seeing events not all that different from those that brought about the Great Depression. And who do we have to blame for it? The politicians!
The Federal Reserve Bank is printing money like its going out of style. They injected 1 Trillion dollars into the American economy on March 18, 2009. This will cause incredible inflation of the dollar. All of this has happened before…in Pre-WWII Germany. It took a wheel barrow full of money to buy a loaf of bread. Americans have GOT to wake up!
Please please please. Watch the following videos and voice your opinions on here and then contact your congressmen. I plan to mail a tea bag to my congressmen…
So yesterday I sent a message to my Congressman, Mr. John Spratt…
“Would you mind explaining to me why you voted to pass H.R. 1586, which is a bill that enacts a bill of attainder on AIG bonus recipients and is explicitly forbidden by the Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 9, paragraph 3 which provides that: ‘No Bill of Attainder or expost facto Law will be passed.’?”
I’m looking forward to getting an answer from him.
