Torrey Spears: "Theatre Of The Absurd"

The conservative Republican blogger in Florida writes about the recent jihad rampage at Fort Hood army base in central Texas, which killed 13 people and wounded 30 people: "But I want to speak to what's missing in this national discussion. When Timothy McVeigh perpetrated the cowardly act of destruction in Oklahoma City some decade ago, we were not afraid to call it what it was - a case of domestic terrorism. Now, in 2009, because the perp's name is Nidal Hassan, the Leftstream have been hesitant to call this a domestic act of terrorism. Why? Is it because the Obama Homeland Security has stricken the word terrorist from our lexicon? Is it because right now there are tens of thousands of our nation's finest in Afghanistan sitting in limbo waiting for our Commander in Chief to be the Commander in Chief? Is it because Nidal Hassan's apparently radical Islamic ideology reminds Americans of the worldwide threat we're facing?"

He continues his commentary: "Indeed, I believe the media would like nothing more than to hope that you forget that terrorism exists in this world, both abroad and domestic, and Hassan's heinous act could strengthen our resolve to eradicate this evil that exists. They've painted Hassan as a war distressed military man who just snapped. The papers and magazines want to suggest this is just another case of war-fatigue and overburdened soldiers. Yet the narrative that's being painted about Hassan was that he was an angry vitriolic Muslim who believed what we're doing in Iraq and Afghanistan is a war against Islam (which it is not), and that his statement against that war would be to deliberately take innocent life while exclaiming 'God is Great!' in Arabic."

More commentary from Mr. Spears: "This is the sick, demented, fanaticism we are dealing with on a global scale, and all the more reason the President needs to do the right thing by the peace loving citizens of the world and act on the War in Afghanistan, and stop all this politically correct foolishness and face this threat head on. You can explain away the motivation, reason, method all you want- but this is a domestic act of terrorism, no doubt about it, and this isn't a war the American people are prepared to lose."
