		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Go home, you don&#039;t deserve to be here.&quot; &lt;/blockquote&gt;


Fortunately, as a foreigner living in other countries for much of my life [military], I wasn&#039;t subjected to such rude treatment. Do you think American families living overseas while serving business or their country should be subjected to the rude treatment you&#039;re planning to mete out to others here in this country? 

Are you the &quot;ugly American&quot; we hear about? 

You know, in this country we have FREEDOM OF RELIGION under our Constitutional First Amendment. So, you are actually planning to violate the Constitutional ideals of freedom with your plan. I hope that makes you stop and think. If it doesn&#039;t maybe you should consider that the new &quot;hate-crimes&quot; law could impact your life if you decide to go around harrassing people for their religious views.

Sheesh. Bigotry against &lt;strong&gt;all Muslims &lt;/strong&gt;just because of Hasan&#039;s actions isn&#039;t warranted.</description>

		<description>That was my first thought too. People have been encouraging him to run for a long time. Maybe he&#039;s decided it&#039;s time to give it a try. I&#039;m more interested in the &lt;strong&gt;reason &lt;/strong&gt;he decided to leave CNN so abruptly. 

Inquiring minds want to know, Lou.</description>

		<description>Time Magazine has Hasan on the front cover this week, busting the PC group-think and calling him a &lt;strong&gt;Terrorist.&lt;/strong&gt;

And, this pretty much backs up their argument:

&lt;strong&gt;Final Hour Lap Dances for Hasan&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Like the Sept. 11 hijackers who spent their some of their final moments in a Las Vegas strip club, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan repeatedly visited a lap dancing club near the Fort Hood base in the days before he allegedly killed 13 soldiers. One day, Hasan spent six hours watching women pole dance. Said one woman who works at the club, called Starz, &quot;He came in on his own about 7.30 p.m. and was here until 2 a.m. He wasn&#039;t like our normal crowd which is young solders. He seemed older, more mature, a bit shy and reserved and a little out of place but not abnormal.&quot;

Read it at The Daily Telegraph&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>It is hardly a surprise that Hillbuzz, the loony extremist PUMA blogger who was dropped from the NQ blogroll some time ago, has discovered he or she misses George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.  Nobody but a rabid Obama hater who watched his Veteran&#039;s Day speech at Arlington and the day before at Fort Hood could doubt for a moment he feels keenly the sacrifices of our military men and women every bit as much as Bush.  Bush, remember, never went to Dover AFB and banned cameras showing the arriving flag-draped coffins.</description>

		<description>Ah, yes, bloggers of the world cast off your PC chains and unite!  In that spirit let me point out that Krauthammer is a cripple, a term PC has cast into oblivion in polite discourse but which accurately describes CK&#039;s condition from neck down since a 1972 diving accident.  And if that gets him off the hook on chickenhawkery for his Vietnam War nonservice, is it unfair to ask how in his condition he obtains the first hand knowledge that make his hardcore neocon views any better for his supposed erudition than any guy who plops down on a barstool next to you?

Take this 2004 CK rationale for the Iraq invasion:  &quot;There is not a single, remotely plausible, alternative strategy for attacking the monster behind 9/11. It’s not Osama bin Laden; it is the cauldron of political oppression, religious intolerance, and social ruin in the Arab-Islamic world--oppression transmuted and deflected by regimes with no legitimacy into virulent, murderous anti-Americanism.”

Once again for the amnesiacs, Egypt and Saudi Arabia provided 17 of the 19 hijackers, the UAE one, and Lebanon, the only country we have had remotely troubled relations with, one.  So why haven&#039;t we invaded Egypt and Saudi or otherwise fomented the overthrow of their oppressive, intolerant regimes?  I know you NQers think every Obama enemy is your friend but you ought to draw a line somewhere.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And in all that time not a one of them has stood up for the rights of their wives and daughters. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I don&#039;t find your extreme position to be consistent.

How does telling the Muslim woman to &quot;go home, she doesn’t belong here&quot; further the cause of women&#039;s rights? I would think you would tell her to move in with you and escape her captivity to Islam rather then send her back to a country where she has even less chance of ever tasting real freedom.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the wonderful post! I guess being &quot;p. c.&quot; is not new for us. Perhaps our tolerance and concern about being &quot;politically correct&quot; is one of the more admirable aspects of our national character as well as a weakness.  The fact that we can have civilized discussions about whether Hasan&#039;s murderous acts were those of a &quot;crazed gunman&quot; who happened to use his beliefs about the Muslim religion for his inspiration or that Hasan was acting as a Muslim extremist committing an act of terror, I think says volumes about the free society that we live in.  There are far too many countries across the globe, where only one point of view would be tolerated.

BTW, thanks &quot;breeze&quot; for your link to Hillbuzz.  I cried when I read the letter.  I, too, have been very critical of Geo. W. and sometimes it took on a personal nature for which I&#039;m now profoundly sorry.  When I read that he and Laura visited the families and injured at Ft. Hood last week, I was surprised. But as the letter so eloquently points out, although we may disagree with Geo. W.&#039;s policies, as a person, he is a caring and kind man and was the right leader for this country following the 9/11 attacks. I, also have been taking a second look at Cheney.  I do think history will judge Bush and Cheney in a more kindly light than our present time has.</description>

		<description>What some people call PC, others call being courteous.  So what if it takes a little extra time to extend the courtesy of being thoughtful and specific in making one&#039;s point?  When I am on the receiving end, I hope for and appreciate the same type of civility.

Standing by while others are beaten is not being PC, it&#039;s being an accomplice to a crime.  Thinking before speaking is being PC and maybe we should be thankful for the benefits it brings rather than focusing on the extra effort it takes.

Speaking of Lincoln, I just read a fascinating book, Lincoln Unmasked by Thomas DiLorenzo.  It&#039;s extremely unPC to Lincoln.  Funny how there is a never ending number of viewpoints on any given subject.  Usually we simply believe the first one we&#039;re exposed to.  Sometimes we need to reevaluate.</description>

		<description>I have made a decision, when ever I see a muslim woman walking around in a tent I am going to tell her to go home, she doesn&#039;t belong here.  

And if she is with a man I am going to ask him where his &quot;get up&quot; is and then tell him to go home too.  Neither belong here, neither deserve to be here.  This is the home of the free and the land of the brave and he is a coward and there is no difference between her and a dog on a leash. 

I looked up how long there have been muslims and they have been around more then 1300 years.  And in all that time not a one of them has stood up for the rights of their wives and daughters.  

What would you do if a neighbor, one who attends the same church you do, threw acid in his daughter&#039;s face, or murdered her by running her down with a truck, or beheaded his wife after spending years beating her?  I know what the men in my family would do.  They would stand right up in church and denounce him and his actions.  Has one of those cowards ever done that?  Ever once in the over 1300 years those people have gathered together to &quot;pray&quot;?  Who is this Alla Akbar that he won&#039;t even protect a precious child?

Every time one of them walk around with their leased dog they are thumbing their nose at this great nation and all the soldiers we are honoring today.  So I intend to say &quot;Go home, you don&#039;t deserve to be here, when ever I see one.</description>

		<description>I caught the John Wilkes Booth parallel setup on Baier&#039;s show.  Thought it was very good and gets the point across strongly.

I think PC is going to get a lot of Americans killed if we cannot find a decent balance between vigilence and tolerance. The idea that some of the press is reluctant to mention Hasan&#039;s Muslim background is insane.

The DC sniper was African American and a converted Muslim.  Did we all run around and claim Muhammad&#039;s  action and that of Malvo was an indictment against the entire Black community?  Or Muslims for that matter?  It wasn&#039;t relevant.

What makes Hasan&#039;s religious background relevant is because he openly spoke about it and made it an issue before he even gunned down his unarmed military brothers and sisters.  In my mind, that makes him a coward and a traitor, and yes, a man who is hiding behind an extremist point of view.

On the other hand, I read some very disturbing, really hateful posts this morning regarding the Muslim faith--nothing redeeming, a filthy religion--while branding anyone who might take a more reasoned viewpoint as a Jew hater.

I&#039;m not a PC fan.  Never have been.  But that doesn&#039;t mean hate speech is acceptable. We&#039;re not going to win anything if we start sounding like the extremists themselves.

Finding that balance is hard.  But find it we must.</description>
