THE HELL WE CAN’T

In fact, that’s the problem; we’ve REFUSED to know.

We can fully know what leads a man to do such a thing. And saying we can’t is just another way to refuse.

Geraldo “the Horse’s Ass” Rivera just tried the same stunt:

“I think what happened in Orlando and what happened in Fort Hood Texas is the same thing. You have a paranoid obsessed, impotent, frustrated loser who takes out his rage whatever it is, whether he lost his job, or like the kids at Columbine High School who were being bullied in school or in the case of Major Hasan he’s got whatever his psychobabble religious beef is. They go off and they inflict terrible harm on innocent people to assuage whatever it is that’s bugging them. It is totally about them. It is the same story.”

The hell it is. That loser in Orlando was fired. We can’t stop losers from being fired except possibly through Obama’s successful War On Jobs in which he destroys all employment except for government jobs.

That’s not the same as yet another Islamo-freak going postal in a non-postal federal facility. To pretend that it is is just more Voluntary Ignorance.

Geraldo continues:

And the people I feel the most sorry for tonight are the 12 to 15,000 Muslim GI’s who serve honorably and the four million Muslims in this country the citizens who are patriots and that believe in our country and now will be because of this, the way this story is being played will be subjected to more of this kind of undertone, widespread resentment and prejudice and discrimination that’s happened really since 9-11.

That’s a damn lie. This country has bent over backwards NOT to offend Muslims—while liberating Muslim countries!

Indeed, Hasan got as far as he did precisely because we not only refused to prejudge him, we refused to judge him at all, even when the situation cried out for the exercise of common sense judgment.

And unlike Geraldo, I feel most sorry for these families (via Jules Crittenden):

Sgt. Amy Krueger, 29, of Kiel, Wis., joined the Army after the 2001 terrorist attacks and had vowed to take on Osama bin Laden, her mother, Jeri Krueger said.

Amy Krueger arrived at Fort Hood on Tuesday and was scheduled to be sent to Afghanistan in December, the mother told the Herald Times Reporter of Manitowoc.

Jeri Krueger recalled telling her daughter that she could not take on bin Laden by herself.

“Watch me,” her daughter replied.

Kiel High School Principal Dario Talerico told The Associated Press that Krueger graduated from the school in 1998 and had spoken at least once to local elementary school students about her career.

“I just remember that Amy was a very good kid, who like most kids in a small town are just looking for what their next step in life was going to be and she chose the military,” Talerico said. “Once she got into the military, she really connected with that kind of lifestyle and was really proud to serve her country.”

We can know. We can know these soldiers were killed by enemy action right here in America. We must know. We must know they died in our service, for our cause.

I’m not saying all Muslims are the enemy. But this was Islamo-terror, not an employment beef. Or any of the thousand other excuses kicked up in our faces like so much sand by the Beach Bully Media in the Charles Atlas ads. And pretending otherwise will only make it longer and worse.

As Ronald Reagan said of another “-ism”:

“Don’t be afraid to see what you see.”

Remember the Amnesia!
