The Enemy Within

Remember back in April when the Department of Homeland Security issued it’s report titled “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment?”  You know – the one that warned against the possibility of violence by unnamed “right-wing extremists concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats.[WND]

Well, today, sadly, a person or persons murdered at least a dozen people and injured three dozen more on post at Fort Hood, Texas.

The primary shooter, Major Malik Nadal Hasan, was not a right-wing extremist with the concerns that so frighten Homeland Security.  At this writing, he is identified as a convert to Islam who protested our military involvement and his perceived feelings of oppression upon Muslims by the United States.

A Muslim did this for political/religious reasons.

Yeah… one of those.  How did Barack Obama characterize them during last year’s presidential campaign?

And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them …

Oops.. .sorry. He was talking about Pennsylvanians.  Those folks that DHS is targetting as right-wing extremists.

DHS – if you’re really interested in protecting the homeland, you’ll start with putting every Muslim in the country on a watchlist and then, WATCH THEM!

When will our government stop protecting those who have openly called for the demise of our nation?  When will our “president” honor his oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution of the United States?

Instead, he allocates millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to Muslim nations for the Global Technology and Innovation Fund to ‘catalyse and facilitate private sector investments’ throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Eligible projects would advance economic opportunity and create jobs in areas like technology, education, telecom, media, business services and clean technology, the White House said. [The Nation]

Earlier this year, he increased aid to such Muslim countries as Jordan ($513M in 2009), Egypt ($310M), the Palestinian Authority ($600M) and for Hamas – yes, Hama – $300 million.

That would pay for a lot of health care.  And it encourages a lot of Malik Nadal Hasans

Maybe Barack Obama IS living up to an oath.  Just not the one we expect.
