I'm surprised that most Christians are so conservative, since the Bible (the New Testament) is quite liberal.


Because then they'd have to admit that everyone should get what they have.

And that's Communism, which Joseph McCarthy (and Joseph was the father of Jesus, so there) proved is un-Christian.


Ah, but Joseph was also the name of somebody who was leader in communism.


Иосиф Виссарионович Сталин (Iosif Vissarionovich Stalin) [Stolen from Wikipedia.  Because I rarely use Cyrillic. -_-]

Iosif.  Clearly not Joseph.  Can you spot a Joseph in that Cyrillic mess above?

That's what I thought.  Remember kids, Jesus hates Communism.

Maybe (but probably not) if you had actually read the report, you would have noticed that what you are trying to pass of as fact was just one officers opinion and a concern, which is something the report clearly states.  The reasons given by the officer's cited in the report are:
Quote
Despite Hasan's overt displays of  radica lization to violent  Islamist extremism, Hasan' s 
superiors  failed to di scipline him, refer him to counterintelligence officials, or seek to di scharge 
him.  One of  the officers who reported Hasan to superiors opined that Hasan was permitted to 
rema in  in  serv ice  because of  "political  correctness" and ignorance of  religious practices.
66 
That 
officer added that he  believed that concern about potential discrimination complaints stopped 
some indi vidual s from challengi ng Hasan.
67 
We are concerned that exactly such worries about 
"political correctness" inhibited  Hasan' s  superi ors and  coll eagues who were deeply troubled by 
hi s behav ior from  taki ng the actions again st  him that could  have  prevented the attack at Fort 
Hood.  However,  none of  the superiors cited "political correctness" as the  reason  for  not acting 
again st Hasan.  In stead,  the  reasons given  for their failure to act varied and included: 
•  A belief that Hasan' s  ideological  views were not problematic or were at least 
understandab le:  Several of  Has an' s  superiors were simpl y not concerned with  his views. 
One superior concluded that he was devoutly rel igious but not an extremi st,68  adding that 
he was not alarmed by hi s religious expressions because similar ex pressions of  other 
religions would be accepted.
69 
Another superior thought that hi s religion was part of  hi s 
identity and that Ha s an' s  inner confl ict  concerning military operations in Muslim 
countri es was an  understandable internal reaction by a serv icemember to combat against 
that servicemember' s  co-reli gioni sts.
7o 
•  Academic  free dom and absence of  academic standards:  Hasan  was given a passing mark 
for  his Grand  Rounds project in  his res idency despiLe the  fact that some of  hi s superi ors 
believed  il  virtually ignored legitimate psychi atric iss ues and was  unscientifi c in  its 
66  Panel  Review Briefing"  Witness  14. 
6J   Id. 
6Z  Id., Witness 3. 
691d. 
70  Id. 
31 analysis.
71 
Hi s superiors offered the fo llowing reasons fo r givi ng Hasan academic credit 
for the presentation: ( I )  it  fit  with in  broad  parameters of  academic  freedom to study 
subjects of  choice,72  (2)  he presented a controversial subject with thoufhtfuiness and 
ret1ecti on,73  (3) there were no set standards  fo r judging such projecls,7  (4) spirituality 
was  part or  mental  health,75  and (5) although  it was not among the best projects, it  was 
good enough to  pass.
76 
•  A desire to  preserve the  USUHS fe ll owship by  filling it with an  Army app li cant: 
According to officers involved in the  fellowship selection process, Hasan was admitted to 
the  USUHS fellowship  because ( I )  he was the on ly Army candidate  for the position he 
sought,77  (2) the  fellowship director was concerned that the  fellowship  would be 
terminated i f  it went unfilled,1s  (3) he rece ived  recommendations  from  senior officiais,79 
and  (4) it would  have been problematic to  rescind  the fellowship offer once Hasan was 
accepted.
8o 
•  A beli e f  that Hasa n provided understanding of  violent Islamist extremism as we ll  as the 
cu lture and belie f  of  Islam:  Some of  Ha s an' s  superi ors thought that his controversial 
projects on  vio lent  Is lamist extrem ism  werc constructive.  A senior Walter Reed official 
concluded that Hasan ' s  Grand Rounds presentation  addressed " a  controversial topic with 
a degree of  thoughtfu lness and a degree of r e t l e c t ion that . . .  was evenhanded."s l  One 
superior regarded  Hasan' s  proposed USUHS survey on Muslim  servicemembers' 
cont1i cts as a chall engin g but legitimate  public health project that contributed to cullUra! 
un derstan ding.
s2 
Even  Hasan' s  final  Program Director at the Walter Reed residency, who 
questioned whether Hasan should be permitted to advance,  felt that "Hasan was a unique 
indi vidual who cou ld help understand Muslim culture and be l i e fs."sl 
•  A belief that Hasan  could  perform adequatcly in  an installation with  other psychiatrists to 
assist him:  Hasan was assigned to Fort  Hood in  part because some superiors thought it 
would be best to  place him  at a large base whe re there would be many  psychiatrists to
"As usual" indeed.

The report is vague at best and doesn't take an actual stand on the causes, which seems to me to make it pretty much useless.

Political correctness didn't *cause* the mass murder. A radically ideologized maniac with a gun did. Radical Islamist ideology, to a lesser extent, did.

Political correctness resulted in the threat not being adequately detected and perceived. Certainly the military needs to reform how it does some things in order to better isolate extremism within its ranks- but to chalk this murder up as *caused* by Liberalism, etc is utterly fallacious. You could just as easily ascribe it to neoconservative ideology that led the U.S. into Iraq in the first place, but that would be B.S. too.

Just like the Arizona case, the cause is a lone nutcase with a gun, and in this case a somewhat more defined political ideology.

But yeah, gotta say, I love how you co-opt the Fort Hood shootings in order to take your usual bigoted stab at liberalism and to try to drag your anti-Obama, anti-abortion rhetoric kicking and screaming into yet another thread. If you really gave as much of a damn about Ft. Hood as you'd like to pretend you do you wouldn't have twisted the situation to your own ends and made a soapbox to stand on out of a pile of dead bodies.

Yup, he actually said that.

Yeah, FE, that's probably because they're busy covering real news like the ridiculous weather we've had, or the unrest in the Arab world.

I think this has something to do with why FE is so focused on everything but REAL news, especially during the Egyptian revolution. Ten Reasons Fox News Doesn't Really Care About The Egypt Story

Do you guys really not understand "Don't Feed The Troll"?

Maybe I'm just a cynic, but I have yet to see anything of worth come out of responding to his posts.

I'm past staying silent and hoping he'll go away because it is clear that he won't. So why not troll back? It obviously isn't against the forum rules and I get a kick out of some of his crazy.
