Now apply the same information that has, thus far, been gathered about the Fort Hood shooter and combine it with what corporate security and the FBI may have known about the hypothetical employee prior to his commission of these murders.

Keep in mind that there was not a single person in the room at the time of the shooting that had ever been in direct conflict with the subject.  Remember that the psychos who "go postal" at schools and workplaces are usually eager to justify their behavior with a litany of perceived personal offenses committed by peers and/or superiors written into their suicide notes or related in post-capture statements.  There is no such evidence in this case.

Based on the available evidence, including the shooter's cry of "Allahu akbar" during the massacre, would it not be logical to assume that our hypothetical perp has committed an act of jihadist terrorism?

In eulogizing the fallen at Fort Hood the president blamed "twisted logic" for the killing of 13 men and women. Despite reading from his teleprompter that "there is no faith that justifies [this] murderous and craven [act]" and that the shooter will ultimately "meet justice in this world and the next," Obama refuses to "jump to the conclusion" that the shooter's motive is tantamount to radical Islamist jihadism, implying that it may merely be the result of anti-Muslim hate speech and/or a paranoiac mental illness.

Of course, progressives have a socialistic need to preserve multi-culturalism and the multi-victimism it has spawned.  When everyone is a victim the government can grow to be everyone's comforter.  This is accomplished, in large part, through the use of a powerful hallucinogen with the street name PC.

Political Correctness will always play a major roll in the left's denial of terrorism, even when its manifestation is black-and-white obvious to the un-drugged. Nonetheless, in addition to its ongoing leftist PC stance, this administration actually has a rational, pragmatic reason for its denial of the extremely clear logic behind the Fort Hood shooter's actions.

Calling the Fort Hood Massacre anything but an incident born of some twisted logic would validate the previous administration's claim that the events of September 11, 2001 thrust our nation into a war with jihadists a/k/a Islamo-fascist terrorists. Further, it would serve to prove that this war must be fought just as fiercely here in the homeland as it should be fought abroad.

It would also prove that, as a result of a PC overdose and the failure to properly use the intelligence-gathering methodologies created to help provide post-9/11 homeland security, we have become as insecure in our homes, workplaces and public buildings as are the citizens of Spain, India, the UK, Pakistan and Iraq, to name a few recently terrorized nations.

It would indicate, if not prove, that in the last year we have become even more vulnerable than we were on September 10, 2001, when an act of Islamist  terrorism committed by a member of the US Army on a domestic US Army base would have been just as unthinkable as the possibility of mass murder by high-jacked aircraft.

If there is twisted logic in play as a result of the Fort Hood Massacre it is made abundantly clear by the thought process which concludes that endlessly apologizing for past political incorrectness, protecting multi-culturalism ahead of homeland security and refusing to call a terrorist a terrorist has made -- or could ever make -- a positive change in America.

...when you know Obama can just appoint a V-chip Czar and try to tax rich Conservatives out of the media business.

At very least, and In keeping with their Marxist model, a tax or penalty could be assessed against local cable providers who wish to retain what the administration considers to be offensive networks. The cost of such penalties would be passed along to consumers who might then be forced to think twice about watching so much of un-American FOX versus its competitors who so unswervingly toe the patriotic administration line.

However,  it could end up being a lot more difficult than White House thugs believe to silence the powerful voices heard on high-wattage AM radio stations.  Aggressive jamming of radio signals, as was done continuously behind the Iron Curtain, would eventually put a forced end to talk radio as we know it, forcing relentless critics of the administration to develop an underground alternative to their current on-air activity.

Rather than being silenced and outfoxed the alternative would, perhaps, look something like this...

Far-fetched? Extreme?  Ridiculous?

No more so than an administration crying  "unfair" and demonizing a highly-rated mainstream TV network.  No more so than the White House crying "un-American" whenever they are criticized.  No more so than attempting to fine-tune the First Amendment.

In real world America it is the right that needs a Fairness Doctrine.

The following is an Obama-on-Obamacare media blitz quote excerpted from today's ABC TV interview: 

 

"Now there are some who are, setting aside the issue of race, more passionate about the idea of whether government can do anything right, and I think that that's probably the biggest driver of some of the vitriol."

 

Reading a statement like this, I can hear fellow Conservatives and allied libertarians and independents saying things like "Who didn't know that?" and "You're preaching to the choir, Mr. President" and "Hey Martha, I think he finally gets it."

 

But then there's that word "vitriol" right at the end of his carefully-prepared, well rehearsed talking point. 

 

So as the opposition to Obamacare is suddenly absolved of the outright hatred of which we had previously been accused (such labels as nazis, racists, right-wing extremists, brown shirts and the Lunatic Christian Right  Fringe to name a few of the applied epithets), this long-awaited acknowledgment that our criticisms are not founded in personal or racial animosity may seem refreshing to some. 

 

That, of course, is the desired effect.  Obama wants you to come over to his side as a result of this validation that it's only your disenchantment with government and your disbelief in its ability to properly execute even the simplest of programs.  That's all that has you riled up about his efforts to establish a huge multi-tiered bureaucracy of big government-run health care that will eventually morph into socialized medicine once privateers opt out of the program. 

 

He wants you to stop being so riled up and vitriolic.  He wants you to believe that because you know that he knows what really drives your opposition, he will be so careful not to allow your worst fears to become reality. 

 

I can hear the gullible saying things like "We can chill out now" and "We can cut Obama some slack" and "Hey Martha, I think he finally gets it." 

 

But what they would be forgetting is that they never heard the president play the race card or label them with hate-filled terms in the first place.  They never heard the president hurl epithets or bring his opposition's religious beliefs into the argument. 

 

Even when called a liar in front of all of his partisans, Obama graciously accepted Rep. Wilson's apology.  Despite the color of his own skin, the president continues to go out of his way to distance himself from those like Jimmy Carter and Bill Cosby who have used the R-word so egregiously since he emerged on the American scene.

 

All along it has been the administration's shills, led by Nancy Pelosi, Charles Schumer and Howard Dean, who have hate-mongered and fear-mongered against the right's coalition of opposition to the president's health care initiative. 

 

It has been ultra-libs and outright socialists who have tried to counter the groundswell of opposition to Obamacare and smear those in the non-traditional media who have spearheaded the largest American protest movement since those aforementioned shills took to flashing peace signs at everyone they knew on and off-campus. 

 

At the same time, they have also chided the president for not being socialistic enough and for appearing willing to compromise with Conservatives in order to insure passage of at least a watered-down version of his bill. 

 

What you didn't hear during today's media blitz was an acknowledgment that the left's belief that only government can do anything right is the biggest driver of their vitriol and their intense hate for anyone who chooses to believe otherwise -- including the president himself, at times.

 

Thankfully, I can hear Martha saying "Hey George, if you believe that media blitz stuff you heard on the news today you'll also believe that Obamacare won't add one dime to our deficits."
