In her Senate confirmation hearings, Janet Napolitano refused to employ the word "terrorism" but opted for "man-made disaster". Softer. Less harsh. Terror instills fear. In the age of Obama, all will be peace and love. Seeking to avoid any semblance of insult or offense, the Obama team adopted a whole vocabulary of soft words. And this new PC dictionary triggered, at least in this realist's mind, a dangerous worldview that could surely lead to a real tragedy.
Yesterday it happened.
What occurred at Fort Hood, Texas yesterday was man-made. And it was a disaster. But it was also an act of terrorism. Yet this Administration with its PC dominant philosophy will never call is that. Nor will their accomplices in the media.
I will.
When an "allahu akbar" screaming man with premeditated plot opens fire on Americans with the sole intent of pleasing his god, that is terrorism. It is not PTSD. It is not a rage resulting from years of persecution or societal rejection. It is not the muslim equivalent of Colin Ferguson's "black rage". It is sheer terrorism.
But,
When this same man advocated suicide bombs and likened it to diving on a grenade in a foxhole, when he posts on anti-American muslim chat rooms and favors killing soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, when he is questioned by authorities and reported to his superiors for using his position as Army psychiatrist to indoctrinate anti-American beliefs in wounded vets, when he is allowed to continue with advanced firearms courses and given access to weapons while no one monitors his movement...
the guilt lies beyond him. It also lies with Janet Napolitano. and President Obama. They have, indeed, set up protocols and established a mindset within our governing systems that precludes the possibility of questioning, monitoring, dismissing such individuals. For how dare we ASSUME he is a terrorist because of the aforementioned activities??
How could we not?
When a laptop went missing from the VA, Secretary Nicholson was forced to resign. Congressman had grandiose hearings on the Hill for suddenly only they were concerned about our vets. Representative Phil Hare called for "a veteran's veteran who will put the needs of our fighting men and women above any political ideology".
Sir- where are you now? This VA allowed Maj. Hassan to treat our vets. After being questioned. After complaints. After concerns were expressed. But there will be no outcry- not from Phil Hare, not from Pelosi or Reid. And, since we tend not to make political hay out of tragedies, not from the GOP.
This entire administration and their appeasement of terrorists, their coddling of dictators, their concern for muslim acceptance, is partly guilty for Fort Hood. This would not have happened in a Bush Administration.
Proving that Obama cannot keep us safe. Not even on a military base. He has asked us not to jump to conclusions. No need to jump, Sir, when the evidence hits you in the face.
But it's hard to see said evidence with your head in the sand.
A man-made disaster- this one on your watch Mr. President and Madam Secretary. Avoidable, stoppable- but only with will and the courage.
God help us.

The bloom is off this rose
One year ago...
In New Jersey: Obama beat McCain by 14.1%
Today...
Christie beats incumbent Corzine by 5%
That's a 20% swing in one year.
One year ago...
In Virginia, Obama beat McCain by 6.3%
Today...
McDonnell beat Deeds by 18%
That's a 24.3% swing in one year.
Reminder that Obama, the One, was in New Jersey just two days (for the 5th time) stumping for Corzine and giving hugs before enthralled, prescreened audiences. Now, Deeds was already chastised for not embracing Obama ENOUGH.... yet Corzine, would couldn't embrace Obama enough... also thrown out of office.
Gibbs, Wasserman-Schultz, Warner- let them try to spin this away. But it is clear: Obamaism has been rejected. In liberal Jersey and Conservative Virginia... Obamaism is beginning to die.
And to you Dede Scozzafava, Newt Gingrich and Michael Steel who lost us a house seat and NY23... pay attention. We are coming for you next.

Christie, Hoffman and McDonnell
I'd add Marco Rubio to that list but we've got a year still...
Three races- all in states that Obama won- and comfortably so. NY and NJ are understandable- solid blue states with little chance of ever turning red again in a presidential election. NY because the city offsets any chance that the upstate has in voting red. Those upper east side millionaires invented the phrase limousine liberal. Jersey is a "whole nother" situation. Highest in taxes in the nation, for some reason they keep voting tax hikers into office. Multi-millionaire Corzine has enjoyed his oppressive reign- he can afford the taxes he imposes on the citizens to continue to pay for the virtual enslavement of Camden, Trenton, Jersey City and Newark.
NY23 and the threeway race of Owens, Scozzafava and the impressive Hoffman just adds to the fun of this unique election year.
Since he won in November '08, Senator/Candidate/President-elect Obama has transmogrified from Clinton-esque moderate to Carter 2.0. The electorate, especially the independents, have noticed and rejected his about face as can be seen by the steady increase in his disapprovals. And there's no reason to list the myriad reasons explaining this- we all know why. I tend to think that should he continue on his current path, while up keeping the lavish White House parties and expensive "date night" excursions, America will continue to become disenchanted with Obama and his court of Versailles. Don't the policies of his reign thus far just decry "l'etate c'est moi"?
Hence the interest- and extreme anxiety- over these 3 races. His Majesty's comms team, when not playing "I'm rubber you're glue" with Roger Ailes, already anticipates a Virgina loss. (Makes Governor Kaine's decision look really unfortunate- for him).
Governor Corzine has poured tens of millions into his own campaign only to be down in the polls. (We can thank John McCain for the self-funding millionaire edge- Corzine can write himself a $10 million check but Christie can't ask 10 guys to write him $1 million checks. Explain that one to me in a free America....) New Jersey has to be exhausted with the Robin Hood governments- bad enough when it was local but now federal too?? How much more blood can you squeeze from the rock?
Then there is RINO Dede Scozzafava, the pro-bailout, pro-amnesty, anti-life, anti-marriage "Republican" that has all the beltway support she needs to almost fool the electorate. Local interest is in Hoffman- but he's a tough win unless Dede does the noble thing and drop out- yea, right. So much talk recently about "big tent" GOP and Newt scolding the conservatives for splitting the ticket, ideological purity and all those catch phrases. Basically- Newt is telling the conservatives to be wishy-washy. After all, mediocrity is a good thing.
With just days left before these elections are decided, it will be interesting to see how they play out and how the media reacts. Should the GOP win 2 or 3 out of the 3, will racism be the factor? I'm sure Maddow and Olbermann are already crafting their talking points to protect the sovereign from us hordes gathering on Place d'Armes.
