dick, not-quite-dead white guy said:

Whether in public or in “polite” company rare to hear someone use the “M” word when discussing the causes of this event and others before. Even GWB consistently called it the religion of peace when lots of evidence suggests that it isn’t now and never was a religion of peace. I and others here have opined that we should or might have to inter muslims in the US in order to be safe.
After thinking about this off and on for some time, I realize that I’d have a hard time looking a four year old kid in the eye and telling him he had to leave his home and go far away because of his father’s religion.  What has to happen is to find a way to separate the dogs from the wolves, to remove the fear of retribution from the innocent when they point out the guilty, to make loyalty to ones neighbors, community and nation a virtue again.  That has to happen by example, and that means people preaching “goddamn America” or “kill the infidel” from the pulpit need to feel consequences for their actions and get fired by their congregations, lose their tax exempt status, see their congregations drift away, and not get a multimillion dollar house as a retirement gift as Rev. Wright did.
And the only way that’s going to happen is by telling the truth, Political Correctness be damned.  The pious opinions floating around MSM and officialdom about “was it jihad or did he or just snap” reinforces my belief that we have no capacity to ask rigorous questions or speak obvious truths. Let’s not kid ourselves, some Muslims are killing us and many more want all westerners dead, but that is not the real killer. The real killer is Political Correctness. We won’t name the enemy, we won’t speak up when something is not right, all for fear of being branded mean, or being ostracized or losing our jobs.
For me now, the main issue is not whether Islam should be banned or its practitioners interned, but that there is no evaluation system at all for threatening or disloyal behavior. Maybe some muslims are good loyal citizens and others are not, but we cannot or will not establish criteria to evaluate this because there has been a wall thrown up around any actions that look suspicious to most Americans, and by merely declaring these actions to be of a religious or cultural nature, their practitioners (or perpetrators) get a pass to do most anything.
Methinks this will be swept under the rug as much as possible and the MSM will happily play along making the usual self-important pontifications about how stressed and oppressed he was as he faced deployment. I think the Army was more worried about being accused of discriminating against a Muslim than they were of a Muslim shooting up an Army base. It has been reported that some people witnessed displays of Hasan’s true belief.  Did any of these witnesses notify their superiors, or did they just decide it was someone else’s job for fear of being branded racist or some such and ending their military career? Did those superiors act? Or do nothing to get the next good efficiency report?  In the late 90’s, managers in my company above a certain pay grade got a 10% bonus for proper affirmative action and diversity behavior.  I doubt today’s military is any different. Was Hasan was picked to represent the Uniformed Services medical school in a recent security conference because he was an expert on security, or because the Army wanted to show off their token Muslim?.
It seems too me the logical thing would have been to arrange a discharge for Hasan, but that might look like discrimination against Muslims, and once he was discharged, the Army could not control him. They feared, and rightly so, that he would end up an articulate guest on some American Guilt talk show.  Compared to Walter Reed, Ft. Hood is farther away from publicity and I wonder if the Army did hear some complaints about his statements and sent him there for that reason?
PC is wrecking American competence, dividing our communities, getting troops killed with ridiculous Rules of Engagement, and I think it just got a bunch of good folks killed right here at home.

Greetings:

Since the analog to digital TV conversion, I have been getting and watching the Korean KBS channel.  It’s like watching American TV back in the ‘50s and ‘60s with a lot of cultural values affirmations in the programming.  I was, at first, amazed by the number of times young people said they would do their best.  As time has gone on, though, I have come to the conclusion that the Koreans really value hard work and determination in whatever they do.

It’s called “domestic terrorism”.

While President Howdy Doody is worried about returning US veterans.

The Muslims are the enemy of the United States, and the Democrats bow to them.

Hasan is still alive but in a coma, so hopefully the feds will be able to thoroughly interrogate him
& find out the full story behind his terrorist attack!
Thank G-d for the foreign media!  It’s hard to comprehend how rotten & biased our MSM has become!!

Shop around. I occasionally get a good deal on equipment from Midway or Mid-south or even eBay (especially dies).

For those in or near Sacramento, CA, “Wild Sports” still has brass, powder, and intermittently primers. Sportsman’s Warehouse even has a decent supply of brass and dies now, piddling on powder but they do have some.

You can still get ammo, just do us all a favor and don’t buy “repacked chinese 40-year-old rusty stuff in russian packages” for a penny a piece.

Don’t look for small or big stores, generally, look for older ones. Wild Sports for example has all sorts of contracts with manufacturers, which is why they never ran out (though they “ration” sales) and prices aren’t too ridiculous.

I’m about to order some more equipment, but I’m thinking of building a tumbler instead of buying a new one - I want to make a quiet rotary one.

Oh yea. And we used the pro-line and got through from there so they could pay for the call:)

Told ‘em I was real nervous too, because they’ve been trying to intimidate us by calling us names and stuff too.

But I told her if my rep votes for this I’ll do everything in my power to insure he never gets elected to anything ever again.
An assault on The Constitution is an assault on ME.

When I heard about this the first thing I said was what’s his name , what mosque was he going to and what’s on his computer. 
He couldn’t strap a bomb on himself and get in so he made sure he had guns and a lot of ammunition.  What he didn’t count on was a brave woman with a gun.
I want all the bleeding heart libs to eat their s---y words.  I want them to go to every funeral of the people he killed and look the families right in the eye and tell them what you think.
