43 Fails:

One for each victim at Ft. Hood.

Welcome to the Collective.

Over the weekend, in the dark of night, the House passed the monstrosity that is universal health care without regard to the damage it will do to the country, the economy, and without having even read it.

From this source:

The bill drew the votes of 219 Democrats and Rep. Joseph Cao, a first-term Republican who holds an overwhelmingly Democratic seat in New Orleans. Opposed were 176 Republicans and 39 Democrats.

The only hope now to save the country from this suicide is to stop the bill in the senate.

The "Religion of Peace" Strikes Ft. Hood

I am saddened and angered beyond all measure by the attack on Ft. Hood yesterday. When this began to break, I was in the car with my husband, listening to the radio.

Before the name of the shooter was even released, the MSM reported the FBI was telling everyone that this was not an act of terrorism.

Dave and I looked at each other and said "bullshit" simultaneously.

Excerpted from this source:

FORT HOOD, Texas – The base commander at Fort Hood says soldiers who witnessed a shooting rampage that left 13 people dead reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before opening fire at the Texas post.

Lt. Gen. Robert Cone told NBC's "Today" show on Friday that suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, made the comment, which is Arabic for "God is great!" before the rampage Thursday that also left 30 people wounded.

Military officials say they are still piecing together what may have pushed Hasan, an Army psychiatrist trained to help soldiers in distress, to turn on his comrades.

Cone says Hasan was not known to be a threat or risk.

Hasan was shot four times during the rampage. Cone says he is hospitalized in stable condition and that military officials will interrogate him as soon as possible.

What pushed him? My guess would be Islam.

The gunfire broke out around 1:30 p.m. at the Soldier Readiness Center, where soldiers who are about to be deployed or who are returning undergo medical screening. Nearby, some soldiers were readying to head into a graduation ceremony for troops and families who had recently earned degrees.

Pastor Greg Schannep had just parked his car along the side of the theater and was about to head into the ceremony when a man in uniform approached him.

"Sir, they are opening fire over there!" the man told him. At first, he thought it was a training exercise — then heard three volleys and saw people running. As the man who warned him about the shots ran away, he could see the man's back was bloodied from a wound.

Schannep said police and medical and other emergency personnel were on the scene in an instant, telling people to get inside the theater. The post went into lockdown while a search began for a suspect and emergency workers began trying to treat the wounded. Some soldiers rushed to treat their injured colleagues by ripping their uniforms into makeshift bandages to treat their wounds.

Fort Hood Lt. Gen. Bob Cone praised the soldiers for their quick reaction.

"God bless these soldiers," Cone said. "As horrible as this was it could have been worse."

Video from the scene showed police patrolling the area with handguns and rifles, ducking behind buildings for cover. Sirens could be heard wailing while a woman's voice on a public-address system urged people to take cover. Schools on the base went into lockdown, and family members trying to find out what was happening inside found cell phone lines jammed or busy.

"I was confused and just shocked," said Spc. Jerry Richard, 27, who works at the center but was not on duty during the shooting. "Overseas you are ready for it. But here you can't even defend yourself."

What pisses me off the most about this is that on a base of so many soldiers this terrorist was able to kill so many. I cannot believe that our military does require on duty soldiers to carry at least a service pistol! He should have been ventilated immediately.

That civilian police had to called in? WTF?!?

Obama should be ashamed that such an attack could take place on major military instillation, and under his watch as Commander-in-Chief.

Worse though, Obama won't do a damned thing about this. Not one damned thing, other than looking really somber in front of a row of cameras. It'll be written off as just another 'isolated incident' in a climate where we are increasingly seeing terrorist acts and honor killings on our own soil. There was an 'honor killing' reported earlier this very week because the daughter of a Muslim had become 'too westernized.'

Now we come to find out that this scumbag was posting praise of homicide bombers as little as six months ago, likening them to a soldier who throws himself on a grenade to save his men.

Islam has no place in civilized societies. It is a seventh-century death cult catering to petty thugs and pedophiles.

SWINE FLU!!!

Not really! ;) I thought I'd just hype it up like the MSM.

We have all been sick for the last couple of days; nothing serious, just low-grade fever and aches.

I will be out making the blog rounds tomorrow.

SWINE FLU!!!

I'm Surprised the MSM Doesn't Just SAY IT:

I'll bet the left is just squirming today after the message voters sent yesterday. Glenn, Rush, ect. are going to have a good time today!

Monday Funnies:

First off, to anyone whom my Twitter account has been somehow spamming, I'm sorry.

I'm going to try to figure it out, really!

That said, here are a few 'toons for 'ya:

Happy Halloween...

Must'nt Offend Muslims...

Another appalling example of dhimmitude has presented itself from this source:

(All emphasis mine.)

KENT, Conn. — Peter Gadiel wants everyone to remember his son, James, who was killed during the September 11 terrorist attacks.

And he also wants people to remember how he died: "Murdered by Muslim terrorists."

For Gadiel, any tribute to his son would be woefully incomplete without those words.

As is his RIGHT.

"I think it's important, because I think there's a nationwide effort to suppress the identity of the people who were involved in the attacks," Gadiel told Fox News.

Yep. It's call DHIMMITUDE.

Eight years ago, 23-year-old James Gadiel worked for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center. He died when a hijacked plane crashed into the North Tower.

For years, Gadiel's hometown of Kent, Conn., has wanted to honor the young man with a memorial plaque next to its town hall. But the tribute has hit a snag because James' father wants to include the phrase, "Murdered by Muslim terrorists," under his son's name.

For Peter Gadiel, it is a central fact of the Sept. 11 attacks that is often left out.

"It isn't just overlooked, it's suppressed," Gadiel said. "It's simply wrong to imply that people just died. The buildings didn't just collapse, they didn't just fall down — they were attacked by people with a specific identity, a specific purpose."

Exactly. Men murdered thousands under the banner of Islam.

Town officials call the phrase too controversial for a small town memorial, and they recently voted against erecting the plaque if Gadiel insists on the language.

"We perceive ourselves as a very warm, loving town," said Ruth Epstein, a Kent selectman and one of two town leaders to vote the plaque down. "To disparage any one ethnic group is just against everything that we stand for here."

Since when did Muslim TERRORISTS become an ethnic group?!?

Epstein noted that other Sept. 11 memorials, like the one at the Pentagon, don't mention Muslim terrorists, and she said she does not want to alienate any members of her small and close-knit community.

So other memorials didn't have the balls to tell the truth. And as for the close-knit community? The Koran point-blank says that a Muslim may not take a kuffar as a friend. So how closely-knit is this community exactly?

Let's call this for the P.C. bullshit that it is, shall we?

"We have at least one Muslim family living here with children and it — it would be just awful to have them see something like that," Epstein told Fox News.

One Muslim family v.s. thousands of victims of Islamist terrorism? Well, that would be just awful to offend them, wouldn't it?

Never mind that they should not be offended AT ALL if they aren't MUSLIM TERRORISTS, as the proposed memorial would say...

But for Gadiel, it's an important message that he insists be present on any tribute to his son.

"Muslims have to acknowledge that it was their co-religionists who committed this act in their name," he said. "I am offended that unlike so many others, they refuse to acknowledge that it was their people who did this."

EXACTLY. Where is the outrage in Islam for their religion being "hijacked?"

'Nuff said.
