FORT HOOD, Texas - As if going off to war, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan cleaned out his apartment, gave leftover frozen broccoli to one neighbor and called another to thank him for his friendship - common courtesies and routines of the departing soldier. Instead, authorities say, he went on a killing spree that left 13 people in Fort Hood, Texas, dead.

Investigators examined the devout, some say fanatical Muslim’s computer, his home and his garbage yesterday to learn what motivated the suspect, who lay in a coma after being shot four times in the frantic bloodletting that also wounded 30. Hospital officials said some of the wounded might not survive.

Is it OK if I play the victim card and say I feel harassed because of my Christian faith? Can I point out that the terrorist jihad is a war on Christianity and Judaism? Remember, I call myself the truthczar, not the politicallycorrectczar.

So now that they don't want us to say "In God We Trust", have religous artifacts at Christmas...heck, we can't even say "Merry Christmas" anymore...is it OK for me as a Christian to go off the deep end and start killing people...NO NO NO. Stop justifying extremism and call it what it is...premeditated murder. The ACLU should be disbanded for what they've done, and continue to do, to this country.

Best thing that can happen is this Moslem doctor does not survive his wounds and passes on to Akbar. We the taxpayers do not need to support his trial and incareration for the next 35 years. For the poor family survivors should they not be subjected anymore than necessary the knowledge that this man lives while thier loved ones are just memories

The media and many moonbats including the President are still asking what was the motive for the massacre. The president tells us to not jump to any conclusions. Can we please stop the PC BS. It is this mentality and political correctness that allowed this to happen. Until the left and liberals allow us to not be hancuffed by political correctness, thre will be more of these terrorist jihadist attacks in the future. It wasn't because of the bad macaroni & cheese the night before. This man was a jihadist. Like many moonbats he disdained the military and it's role and policy. He was facing deployment in late December. Enough of the political correctness. We know what his motive was. GEEEEZ!

We must profile. We must detain.
Liberalism = Political correctness. This guy was a major, an officer in the army. He was a known troublemaker and dissenter. He often spoke out about against US policy. He came through ROTC. He wanted America to pay for his education but never had any intention of deploying to combat. He did not hide this. Yet because of political correctness he was allowed to remain in the army. It is this warped mentality that led to this tragedy. All the signs were there. Yet because of liberal political correctness he wasn't disciplined, kicked -out or detained. The media and moonbats are shocked and wonder what was the motovation. That's crap. And until the liberals drop political correctness, and un-handcuff our law enforcement and our military we will see more deaths in Afghanistan and more terrorist acts at home.
The liberals must take responsibility for these unintended consequences.
What was his motive? His motive was he was jihadist who hated Americans and wanted to kill as many as possible. And unless we stop this BS there will be more terrorist acts coming to a neighborhood near you. Stop handcuffing our law enforcement and military. We can't fight a PC war. We must profile , we must detain suspected jihadists. What is the matter with the media and the moonbats? They want to close Gitmo. Amherst invited a Gitmo detainee to live in their community. Don't you get it? And this is who we have running our federal government.

And what would that be?, Squirrels. I know all religions are equal and despicable in your opinion. You really are a rat not really squirrel at all.

Economists have predicted before that women would one day dominate the labor force as more ventured outside the home. The number of women entering the work force slowed and even dipped during the boom years earlier this decade, though, prompting a debate about whether women truly wanted to be both breadwinners and caregivers.
