So the Confederate Flag
offends you?

As a seventh generation Texan, I never, ever considered ~~“Old Glory”~~ "Battle Flag for the Army of Northern Virginia" a symbol of racism or reminder of slavery; but I see how some people could. I have always seen it as the symbol of rebellion, revolution and independence of spirit.

If you are one of those who are offended, I sure hope you’re not the same person who has no problem watching someone burn the American Flag, aka “Old Glory” or the "Star Spangled Banner". If so, you are a hypocritical racist and traitorous American in my less than humble opinion. I also believe you are guilty of treachery, race-baiting and self-supremacy.

I take great offence when someone burns the American flag, but I must also be tolerant of the rights of others; that they are free to express their disgust, if non-violent. Personally, I wish it was against the law to disrespect it on American soil, but where do we draw the line on the people’s right to protest?

As imperfect as Americans may be, if you’re not offended by those who disrespect America or want to harm peaceful, innocent Americans, then you are much more despicable than anyone choosing to fly ~~Old Glory~~ the "Battle Flag for the Army of Northern Virginia". You are more untrustworthy than the KKK and should receive the same amount of tolerance as you demonstrate.

Edit: Thank you go the anonymous commenter for pointing out my ignorance concerning the actual name of the "Rebel Flag". I have taken the opportunity to read a brief history. This is another subject that I wasn't taught in my classes. Oddly enough, the particular flag that is so controversial isn't even the actual "Confederate National Flag".

brown out

Less intense than the experience of "blacking out" when drunk and not remembering portions (or all) of your night, "browning out" occurs when you don't remember something until someone brings it up. It's not a complete blackout, but partial, because you remember once someone refreshes you.

I didn't even remember making out with Bryanne until J-Lo told me (it must not have been that good)! I definitely had a brown out last night.

Fort Hood's 9/11

By RALPH PETERS

On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting "Allahu Akbar!" committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam. What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Ft. Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did.

And the media treat it like a case of non-denominational shoplifting. This was a terrorist act. When an extremist plans and executes a murderous plot against our unarmed soldiers to protest our efforts to counter Islamist fanatics, it's an act of terror. Period.

When the terrorist posts anti-American hate-speech on the Web; apparently praises suicide bombers and uses his own name; loudly criticizes US policies; argues (as a psychiatrist, no less) with his military patients over the worth of their sacrifices; refuses, in the name of Islam, to be photographed with female colleagues; lists his nationality as "Palestinian" in a Muslim spouse-matching program, and parades around central Texas in a fundamentalist playsuit, well, it only seems fair to call this terrorist an "Islamist terrorist."

But the president won't. Despite his promise to get to all the facts. Because there's no such thing as "Islamist terrorism" in ObamaWorld. And the Army won't. Because its senior leaders are so sick with political correctness that pandering to America-haters is safer than calling terrorism "terrorism." And the media won't. Because they have more interest in the shooter than in our troops despite their crocodile tears.

Maj. Nadal Malik Hasan planned this terrorist attack and executed it in cold blood. The resulting massacre was the first tragedy. The second was that he wasn't killed on the spot.

Hasan survived. Now the rest of us will have to foot his massive medical bills. Activist lawyers will get involved, claiming "harassment" drove him temporarily insane. There'll be no end of trial delays. At best, taxpayer dollars will fund his prison lifestyle for decades to come, since our politically correct Army leadership wouldn't dare pursue or carry out the death penalty.

Maj. Hasan will be a hero to Islamist terrorists abroad and their sympathizers here. While US Muslim organizations decry his acts publicly, Hasan will be praised privately. And he'll have the last laugh. But Hasan isn't the sole guilty party. The US Army's unforgivable political correctness is also to blame for the casualties at Ft. Hood.

Given the myriad warning signs, it's appalling that no action was taken against a man apparently known to praise suicide bombers and openly damn US policy. But no officer in his chain of command, either at Walter Reed Army Medical Center or at Ft. Hood, had the guts to take meaningful action against a dysfunctional soldier and an incompetent doctor.

Had Hasan been a Lutheran or a Methodist, he would've been gone with the simoon. But officers fear charges of discrimination when faced with misconduct among protected minorities.

Now 12 soldiers and a security guard lie dead. 31 soldiers were wounded, 28 of them seriously. If heads don't roll in this maggot's chain of command, the Army will have shamed itself beyond moral redemption.

There's another important issue, too. How could the Army allow an obviously incompetent and dysfunctional psychiatrist to treat our troubled soldiers returning from war? An Islamist whacko is counseled for arguing with veterans who've been assigned to his care? And he's not removed from duty? What planet does the Army live on?

For the first time since I joined the Army in 1976, I'm ashamed of its dereliction of duty. The chain of command protected a budding terrorist who was waving one red flag after another. Because it was safer for careers than doing something about him. Get ready for the apologies. We've already heard from the terrorist's family that "he's a good American." In their world, maybe he is.

But when do we, the American public, knock off the PC nonsense?

A disgruntled Muslim soldier murdered his officers way back in 2003, in Kuwait, on the eve of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Recently? An American mullah shoots it out with the feds in Detroit. A Muslim fanatic attacks an Arkansas recruiting station. A Muslim media owner, after playing the peace card, beheads his wife. A Muslim father runs over his daughter because she's becoming too Westernized.

Muslim terrorist wannabes are busted again and again. And we're assured that "Islam's a religion of peace."

I guarantee you that the Obama administration's non-response to the Ft. Hood attack will mock the memory of our dead.

Discriminate uneasonable mandate of birthright for African Americans syndrome aka DUMBAAS

I left this comment on another blogpost and decided to post it on my blog so I could find it in the future. Prideful or absent-minded, you make the call.

'The entitled, holier-than-thou race baiters continue to think "it's all about them".

Unfortunately, it is exactly this attitude and behavior that make white supremacist groups an attractive option, if not for the simple reason of protesting this new national epidimic: "Discriminate uneasonable mandate of birthright for African Americans syndrome" aka DUMBAAS. One side effect of this condition is the paranoid delusion that everyone who disagrees with them is racist.

I kinda feel sorry for them in between the times I want to fund sending them back to their country of origin...'
