Probably.

“So no, Major Hasan is not just another nut. He volunteered himself into a larger Islamic jihad, whose political weapon of choice is the murder of innocents across the globe.

The Fort Hood massacre makes clear, again, that Islamic terror is unavoidably a domestic U.S. problem as well. There is a strain in American thinking that deludes itself in believing that somehow this force will occupy itself mainly with blowing up marketplaces in faraway Pakistan or Afghanistan. On Thursday, their problem was our problem.”

not suggesting our military can simply respond by barring Muslims, but doesn’t seem to be ruling out profiling and surveilling either.

HP #1:
Early morning TV indicated that Obama is to give a “speech” – an inappropriate activity for mourning, don’t you think? Also heard that ABC would cover it live. It’s this afternoon I think.

Did you guys hear about this story in E. St. Louis where the women were shot in their car with their kids? This article says they were just riding around but from what I saw in an interview, the mother of one of the victims said they were on their way to her house. She had told her to come home because she was so afraid of her ex-boyfriend. Of course, he is ultimately the one that killed them.

“Despite ban, Holder to speak to CAIR-linked group

Attorney General Eric Holder has agreed to give a keynote speech next week to a Michigan group which includes the local branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations even though the FBI has formally severed contacts with the controversial Muslim civil rights organization.

On Nov. 19, Holder is scheduled to speak in Detroit to the first annual awards banquet of Advocates and Leaders for Police and Community Trust, a coalition of several dozen law enforcement and community groups. An online registration form for the event includes the Council on American Islamic Relations-Michigan on a list of “official & participating organizations.”

A spokeswoman for ALPACT confirmed that CAIR is a member of the coalition.”

Hi Murphy! Good idea, I should have thought to post it there.

Hi NikkisMom!

Hi Sheila! How have you been?

How’s school going?

I usually do not watch BO speeches on tv, but today, I am going to try.
I want to see if he uses a teleprompter, if he shows any pity for the shooter, and if he talks about himself (which he usually does) more than the victims.

stoney42,
You have a stronger stomach than I. In answer to your questions-
Yes he will use a teleprompter- otherwise it would be all ummm, aaahs, ummmm.

Of course he has pity for the shooter, I’m sure the man is just mentally ill.

And of course he will talk about himself more than the victims. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

It is looking like Hasan did everything but release a video tape ala Bin Laden style.
Just a friendly email exchange between two fellow Allah worshipers, one a Major in the US Army the other an Iman in Yemen who actively recruits Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorist???

If ever there were a perfect time to say “they acted stupidly” it would be now.

talking without all the facts about the arrest of the nutty professor wasn’t jumping to conclusions but talking about the emails of two Islamic terrorist is Jumping??

Dude, your’re making me crazy!!!

LOL NikkisMom! Thanks!

The weather has been great! My husband put our Christmas lights up Sunday! He dedided to take advantage while we had a chance. LOL. He usually waits until it’s icy and snowy and we have a two story house. It makes me a nervous wreck every year. I’m sure the neighbors think we’re strange but oh well, they probably thought that before now. The rain is supposed to start again and it should be getting cold really soon. Enjoy the few days of Fall we probably have left.

Hi FLBarbara! I agree. This guy is definitely making me crazy.

Hi Sheila

Glad school is going well for you and that your Christmas lights are up without a trip to the ER LOL

I had to laugh cause it is so typical last minute, like waiting for the feeder bands of the hurricane to shutter up.

Dances / Murphy,

Should we decide that we need to stop a Senate version of the healthcare bill, I’ve started a list of the “Key Senators” on healthcare (similar to “blue dogs”) with their fax/phone #’s. Any tips on how I should format it before I send it to the Action Center, so that it will make it easier for you to upload?

Would a Notepad .txt file be better than in Word format?
———————-
Word doc is fine. Don’t worry too much about the formatting. Just be sure to send as an attachment. I work fulltime, therefore uploading isn’t instantaneous, but usually happens in less than 24 hours.

FLBarbara,
My husband is the epitome (sp. ?) of last minute. I was very surprised he got it done.
It’s a good thing we don’t live in a hurricane prone area. We would never be shuttered up. However, we do have tornadoes and the rest of us go to the basement and he waits until the last minute so he can see it.

Stood on a balcony of a hotel to watch two tornadoes merge and become sister-tornadoes about 13 years ago. The visuals were mesmerizing. Snapped out of it and went into my suite just in time. Powerful stuff.

Dances,
It is powerful. Once when I was a kid we were at the neighbors house and everyone went to the basement. My dad stayed upstairs and let me stay with him. (My mom had a fit but she was trying to get the younger babies to the basement). We sat at the front door and watched the tornado. We did get to the basement as it got closer but that was the only time I stuck around to watch one. I’ve never seen two merge together. Very cool.

FLBarbara. I would have cried all night too.

Off to school.
Hang in there everybody. One of my favorite lines or sayings is… This too shall pass.

(((PUMAS)))

Anita Dunn, white house communications person is stepping down, hmmmm wonder what happened? Axe and Rahm get rid of em quickly dont they

29Fla Barbara>>>Thank you so much Fla Barbara for this kind thought…Hurricane season here ends officially early Nov..one rarely sees any after that…Ida began as hurricane went to 2 by Caribbean but the waters of the Gulf are not as warm now (feeds hurrcane strength) and as it moved across the Gulf..it became less and less intense…plot had it skirting the bottom parishes of LA and along us a bit..as it moved and weakened…as predicted..we got here a bit of rain but not much.

I very much appreciate your wish…indeed!!!

#45 should say “Obama sat reading”

NOP

So glad all is well and will continue on that path. Friends in Fl said it was a rain maker for them.
Blessings

Gotta run have a great day.

I’ve got my tinfoil hat on for this one, so please, someone correct me if I am wrong.
I was watching the smackdown on the last thread last night and never saw this person’s post, no one commented back to this person either, and since the first post by this person was an attack on Murphy, then this followed…

I am wondering, how did someone insert this comment later when people went to bed? Who is this person anyway??????

Did anyone else see this?

Odd that suggesting that Hillary Clinton is a woman who can think, formulate and act of her own free volition isn’t worthy of discussion. Perhaps it’s best to keep her in the realm of Santa Claus where all good Pumas can impart their vision of who and what she is.

Me – I just respect and admire the woman. Voted for her, contributed to her campaign and would again.

Because of you…Puma is fantasy and an act of intellectual masturbation. You do a severe disservice to those who truly want to make a difference.

Shame on you. You have no respect for women nor for your community.

From an email to me from one of the La Senators…Vitter…
Did you all know this? about Obutt’s plans?

Obama is very simply and clearly a Muslim apologist…this guy more and more reveals what he is clearly about and it is not
our concerns that top his priority list..in any way….
From the Vitter email…
“I was outraged when I found out the Obama Administration wanted to give Guantanamo Bay detainees the H1N1 vaccine while millions of Americans – including pregnant women and children – are still waiting to get the H1N1 vaccine because of massive shortages.

Swine flu is a very real concern for all of us across the country. Currently, the H1N1 vaccine is only being provided to certain high-risk segments of the population. The vaccine is in short supply, and, as such, there are millions of Americans in these high-risk groups still awaiting the vaccine. We should save the vaccine for those who need it most, and as of today, women, children and other at-risk individuals should fall squarely in line under that category.

Last week I introduced a Senate resolution with several of my colleagues asserting that the Obama Administration should not provide Guantanamo Bay detainees and terror suspects with the H1N1 vaccine before the H1N1 vaccine shortage is addressed and all American citizens prioritized as vulnerable to H1N1 have the choice to obtain the H1N1 vaccine….”

maybe Dunn will move to China and get the job she always wanted.

Thanks, Murphy.

funny, i doubt anita dunn will be totally gone, her husband is a lawyer, yahoooooooooo, and they have close ties to Tom Dashcle so she’s on their blackberries, probably like Van Jones, just a heartbeat away from valerie’s email and blackberry, these people make me puke.
