D.C. Based Muslim Prays for ‘Recovery of Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan’ on FaceBook
-By Warner Todd Huston
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised, but a Washington D.C. based Muslim named Khadeeja Nuur has created a FaceBook Page offering prayers for the recovery of Fort Hood murderer Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan.
The page seems to have been started sometime before Friday at 3PM and she features this main message in her information section:
Together we pray for the recovery of Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan, MD. May Allah see fit to return this loyal son of Islam back to perfect health. Sallalahu Alayhi Wa Sallam.
Initially, it appears that a few Muslims celebrating Hasan’s evil actions were leaving messages in hopes that Hasan gets well, agreeing with his actions, or at the very least justifying them.
A Graal Reborn, for instance, leaves the message that, “killing is bad I agree but being forced to do somethnig [sic] you don’t want to do and being the minority standing up to the majority is respectable no matter who you are.” And Alex Gould wrote, “I pray to Allah that he may recover soon.” Later a fellow going by the name Abu Soleiman Al-nase wrote, “nidal malik is a brave mujahid,,he did jihad ,,he did kill the killers (american soldiers) that was going to iraq and afganistan [sic] to fight the islamic nation…my greeting and pray for him,,we will never forget you brother nidal.”
For her part Khadeeja Nuur hoped that people wouldn’t condemn Hasan as President Obama has refused to do. “President Obama has been mindful enough to not condemn Dr. Hasan. So how dare you all do so,” she writes.
Of course, once many FaceBookers found out about the page it began to fill up with fury, outrage, and anger that Nuur would dare make such a page wishing the murderous Hasan well. She eventually pleaded for other to “please keep this discussion board civil.” She pleaded for “civility” several more times before giving up on that plaintive plea. One wonders how “civil” Hasan her idol was being as he gunned down helpless, unarmed soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood?
Nuur switched tracks by Saturday and began to ask for financial contributions to groups such as CAIR and the AAI.
As the Zionist media continue to portray Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan as a villain, it is vitally important, now more than ever, that we take a unified stand against Arab/Islamic defamation.
To that end, please consider giving, as generously as you are able, to these outstanding American-Arab/Islamic-interest organizations:
(Here she lists them and gives links which I refuse to do)
Still, it is a bit amusing to see that 95 percent of the messages posted on Nuur’s FaceBook well-wishing for the murderer Hasan are posts attack Hasan and Nuur for their jihadist hatemongering.
Perhaps if you are a member of FaceBook you might have a minute to give Khadeeja Nuur a nice welcoming message for her new FaceBook effort?

I Didn’t Realize Democrat Women Were Such Hot House Flowers
I guess this is the point where I have to sound a bit misogynist, but, seriously, for elected Representatives, they sure sound like those 40’s women who are delicate and have to be protected by their men folk. Of course, we are talking about Lefty men folk, so, that makes these Democrat women even more shrinking hollyhocks. Think Progress is having a total meltdown (shocker!)
This morning, the House began consideration of the rule for debate of the House health care bill. As the Democratic Women’s Caucus took to the microphone on the House floor to offer their arguments for how the bill would benefit women, House Republicans — led by Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) — repeatedly talked over, screamed, and shouted objections. “I object, I object, I object, I object, I object,” Price interjected as Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA) tried to hold the floor.
In an effort to delay and derail the proceedings, the Republicans continually talked over the Democratic women for half an hour. They sought to prevent the debate by calling for unnecessary “parliamentary inquiries” and requests for “expanding the debate” by an hour.
After being repeatedly interrupted by Republican shouts, Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (D-OH) observed:
Do I not have the right to be able to continue my sentence without objections that are trying to censor my remarks here on the floor that I have a right to make as a member of this House?
You sure do, Mary Jo, but, hey, I wonder what was really going on?
Update 11:06am Eastern. A parade of female Democrats are using the House resolution process to play the gender card on Pelosicare and eat into general debate time through unanimous consent requests. GOP Reps are objecting. Chair John Dingell shutting up GOP reps. Repubs want an extension of an hour on debate to balance the female Dem circus.
A female Republican rep is objecting. Dingell is ignoring her.
Update 1130am Eastern. The female Democrat parade continues. Dingell finally, lamely, chides Dem Rep Slaughter that her parade needs to limit its unanimous consent request embellishments. They ignore him. He will now charge Slaughter time.
Female Dems end their parade with a Democrat screeching about domestic violence. Finally ruled out of order.
Dingell had to protect all these shrinking shrieking Milkweeds as they went about their Kabuki theater. Sheesh, I thought the Dem women had worked so hard to get that title. It’s just a thing.

Two (Actually Three) From Illinois Murdered by Muslim Madman
Two Illinois soldiers lost their lives from the evil, criminal actions of Muslim Nidal Hasan in Texas last week.
Private Francheska Velez, 21, of West Kamerling was one of the thirteen killed by Hasan at Fort Hood Army base on Thursday.
“She was the best I have. The light of my family,” Juan Velez said of his only daughter. “She was living my dream — to be part of the military, part of the United States. To be part of something. Just to give back to the United States because this is where we are from.”
Pvt. Valez was three months pregnant when she lost her life.
Also killed by this terrorist was Pvt. Michael Pearson, 21, of Bolingbrook. Pearson was training to become a bomb technician.
Screaming “Allahu Akbar,” terrorist Hasan entered a medical clinic where soldiers were waiting medical exams for deployment and began to fire at anyone in his way. 13 were murdered — actually 14 counting the baby in Velez’ womb. And therein lies a problem with the reporting of this story. No one mentions the loss of life suffered by Valez’ baby! It should not so easily be forgotten.
We have said a prayer for the families of victims and the tortured soul of this murdering Muslim terrorist.

Buy What Democrats Say to Buy or GO TO JAIL
-By Warner Todd Huston
It has come to this, America. Democrats have decided that if you don’t agree with their policies, you are to be fined. And if you don’t pay the fine, you are a criminal and will be sentenced to jail. That’s right, Democrats are criminalizing dissent.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to leave language in her heatlhcare bill that criminalizes and prescribes jail time for any American that does not want to buy private healthcare insurance. Think of this, America. I am telling you that the U.S. Congress has decided to force you to buy the product of a privately owned corporation! The power of the U.S. federal government has never been used to purchase something from a private company but here comes San Fran Nancy to do just that. But, let’s face it. She is only taking her cue from the big guy and his “Chicago way” sort of political thuggery.
The Joint Committee on Taxation issued a letter (Download pdf file) in reply to Representative Dave Crump’s inquiry about the matter of the criminal penalties of refusing to buy healthcare insurance should Pelosi’s version of Obamacare pass.
In reply the JCT outlines the exact language in the bill that proves that Pelosi and her Democrat leaders want to turn YOU into a federal criminal if you don’t want to buy her health insurance. Criminal penalties include:
- Section 7203 – misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.
- Section 7201 – felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years.”
Is it Constitutional? Apparently they just don’t care.
But what does it matter if the Constitution is violated by members of the Democrat Party? After all, they will rewrite the Constitution to suit their transitory criteria with which they’ll pass whatever bill they want to push. The Constitution serves as no obstacle at all to their ambitions.
Here is a prime example. CNSNews asked Senator Burris if he saw this power to coerce the people to engage in preferred commerce in the Constitution:
CNSNews: Federally, if you look at it from a federal standpoint, what area specifically of the Constitution would give Congress the power to mandate an individual to have health insurance?”
Burris: Well, that’s under certainly the laws of the–protect the health, welfare of the country. That’s under the Constitution. We’re not even dealing with any constitutionality here. Should we move in that direction? What does the Constitution say? To provide for the health, welfare and the defense of the country.
So, Burris has decided that “health” is in the Constitution? Certainly the words “general welfare” appear there, but health does not. But, pffft. What do these “words” mean? Why should we let laws and tradition stand in the way of getting votes for a welfare program. With glittering jewels of ignorance like accidental Senator Burris crafting America’s policies, it is no wonder we are fast losing our nation to enemies of democracy, freedom, liberty and the American way.

Tom Coburn Threatens to Have Obamacare Bill Read on the Floor
Thousands of pages takes time to read. This is awesome! Coburn goes old school!
Sen. Tom Coburn, the Oklahoma Republican who developed a close friendship with President Obama when they served together in the Senate, is threatening to have the entire health care bill read on the Senate floor.
Senior Senate Democratic aides had heard Coburn was considering having potentially thousands of pages read aloud in effort to stall passage. “If he did this it would be even outrageous for a guy who’s become known as Dr. No around here,” one of them told POLITICO.
Coburn’s office confirmed that he is indeed thinking about having the bill read.

Leadership: Bush Visits Fort Hood, Obama Goes to Camp David
What’s wrong with this picture? A radical Muslim goes on a shooting spree and kills 12 soldiers. The current President displays insensitivity in his remarks. Our current President heads to Camp David for vacation. Former President Bush actually goes to Fort Hood to support the families. But, let’s not jump to conclusions.

PelosiCare penalties for not buying what she’s selling
by Maggie at Maggie’s Notebook
If PelosiCare passes, the bill has some very stiff penalties for those refusing to participate. Rep. David Camp (R-MI) requested official word from the Joint Committee on Taxes. If you do not buy what PelosiCare is selling, fines of up to $250,000 and up to 5 years imprisonment, including both civil and criminal trials, may be in your future.
The following information is taken from a letter to Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI), the ranking member of the Committee on Ways and Means Republicans. Camp asked for clarification of penalties to be imposed if a taxpayer chooses not to purchase at least a $15,000 policy – which Camp says is the “lowest cost family non-group plan under the Speaker’s bill” in 2016.
The date stamp is November 5, 2009 and is on the letterhead of Congress of the United States, Joint Committee on Taxation and is signed by Thomas A. Barthold. Read the entire pdf letter here, as well as Rep. Camp’s comments. The following are significant snippets:
“H.R. 3962 provides that an individual (or a husband and wife in the case of a joint return) who does not, at any time during the taxable year, maintain acceptable health insurance coverage for himself or herself and each of his or her qualifying children is subject to an additional tax.” [page 1]
Among possible Civil penalties for not obeying Nancy Pelosi:
* An “accuracy” penalty of 20% of the underpayment attributable to the health care tax, based on negligence…
* A fraud penalty of 75% of the underpayment…
* A $5,000 penalty for taking a frivolous position on a tax return…
* A delinquency penalty of .5% of the unperpayment, each month, up to a max of 25% of the underpayment…
Among possible Criminal penalties for evading PelosiCare:
* A misdemeanor willful failure to pay – fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.
*A felony willful evasion – fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 5 years.
Seriously? Jail time?

War On Christmas Starting Early, With A Few Good Wins For Christians
Yes, it is that time of the year
With increasing threats, lawsuits and exposure over what constitutes a ‘legal Christmas season’ in this country, it is astounding albeit wonderful, that the current White House administration, President and Congress have not decided to remove the word Christmas or Christ from the upcoming tree lighting ceremony in Washington D.C.
Current reports on the NPS.gov webpage have the traditional ceremony of the National Christmas Tree Lighting happening on December 3rd this year at the Elipse, south of the White House grounds in Washington D.C. Each year the National Park Service and National Park Foundation sponsor the tree lighting ceremony that helps kick off a four week Christmas celebration in the U.S. Capital.
Kudos to Barry for keeping it as such, but, you know there would be apoplexy were he to rename it the National Holiday Tree.
In early October, school children in Arizona were asked to make decorations for the National Christmas Tree. Those who made ornaments referring to Christ or Christmas were told they had to redo their artwork in order to leave out Christ. After the Alliance Defense Fund became involved, sending a letter to the NPS stating that banning such ornaments was unconstitutional, the NPS agreed and changed their mind on the religious ornament ban. Children have constructed thousands of ornaments this year, thankfully now without fear of rejection due to their religious depictions on them. The ornaments will be placed on the nearly 65 foot tree that will grace the grounds near the White House starting December 3rd.
As many conservative and tradition-loving Christians look forward to various tree lighting ceremonies during the upcoming Christmas season, some still hold their breath waiting to see which extremist anti-Christian organization will throw a fit over someone else celebrating their own religion and sharing those celebrations with the rest of the majority in the United States.
It has almost become a game, waiting to see who will do what. The writer, Karen McCracken (cool name!), then offers up even more examples, then offers some advice
While it is absolutely important to stand up for our rights to worship and celebrate as we see fit – no matter our religion – the meaning of Christmas is not removed when the word Christmas is removed from the name of an event. (Such as what has been done to the Hollywood Christmas Parade this year; recently renamed The Hollywood Santa Parade.) The God who is my Heavenly Father is not taken away when a Christmas Parade is taken away from the community nor will Christ disappear merely because His name is removed from a worldly event.
She is correct that the season is not about those things, and shouldn’t be about those things. Jesus is in our heart. The season is about His message. Unfortunately, there are those that attempt to turn the entire thing into something secular that should only be practiced in the privacy of our own homes, rather than acknowledging the reason for the season.

In Ft. Hood Shootings, Grey Lady Tries On The “It’s The Army’s Fault” Theory
It’s just a trial balloon, appearing on page A17 of today’s fish wrap, but, the Times does go to great lengths to blame the Army. They also do a great job in saying Muslims are cute and fuzzy, so, the War on Terrorism, sorry, Operation Domestic Contingency, must be our fault: Muslims at Fort Voice Outrage and Ask Questions
Leaders of the vibrant Muslim community here expressed outrage on Friday at the shooting rampage being laid to one of their members, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who had become a regular attendee of prayers at the local mosque.
But some of the men who had befriended Major Hasan at the mosque said the military should examine the policies that might have caused him to snap.
“When a white guy shoots up a post office, they call that going postal,” said Victor Benjamin II, 30, a former member of the Army. “But when a Muslim does it, they call it jihad.
“Ultimately it was Brother Nidal’s doing, but the command should be held accountable,” Mr. Benjamin said. “G.I.’s are like any equipment in the Army. When it breaks, those who were in charge of keeping it fit should be held responsible for it.”
Our Book doesn’t say to kill the Infidel if he will not convert. Our Book doesn’t turn women into objects that should never appear in photo’s with men. Our Book doesn’t tell us to yell “Allahu Akbar” when killing the infidel. Nidal believed America was the bad guy, and the aggressor. He considered himself a Palestinian first. He lectured on how great decapitation of infidels was.
It could turn out that this was more a case of going postal than a Muslim attack on the infidel. We might never know – particularly if Nidal does not survive. That said, perhaps the Muslim community, which are probably mostly just good people, devout, caring, and proud, should stand up and put an end to what certain members of their religion are doing in the name of their religion. Until such time, their religion will be blamed, and, quite frankly, they are just perpetuating the idea that they were forced to do it by blaming others, such as the Army.

Some House Dems that Might Be Persuaded to Vote No on Obamacare
-By Warner Todd Huston
Ken Marrero over at Blue Collar Muse reminds us that there are a few Democrats that could possibly be persuaded to vote against House Speaker Pelosi’s healthcare bill.
Word has it that Pelosi is going to try and strong-arm her bill to a floor vote this Saturday, so if you want to stop this bill, call the following Congressmen and voice your opinion.
- Michael Arcuri (NY-24th)–(202) 225-3665
- Steve Dreihous (OH 1st)–(202) 225-2216
- Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-8th)–(202) 225-2542
- Debbie Halverson (IL-11th)–(202) 225-3635
- Steve Kagen (WI-8th)–(202) 225-5665
- Betsy Markey (CO-4th)–(202) 225-4676
- Tom Perriello (VA-5th)–(202) 225-4711
- Loretta Sanchez (CA-47th)–(202) 225-5711
- Vic Snyder (AR-29th)–(202) 225-2506
- Zack Space (OH-18th)–(202) 225-2965
I should remind readers that if you call these on-the-fence Democrats it’s far more effective if you are from their District, though. Just random calls from across the country will mean far less than the calls of actual constituents.

Mass Murdering Muslim Major Worked to Assist Obama’s Transition Team Through University Project
-By Warner Todd Huston
Plus, Ron Reagan couples “tea baggers” with Murderer Nidal Hasan.
In 2008 The George Washington University Homeland Security Institute (HSPI) initiated a transition task force to help craft homeland security policies during Obama’s transition period. In May of 2009 HSPI finished its report titled, “Thinking Anew-Security Priorities for the Next Administration.” One of the members of this Obama transition project was none other than the Muslim murderer Nidal Hassan.
Nidal is listed in Appendix C, Page 29 of the HSPI report as having served as a “Task Force Event Participant,” in his position with the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine. (download .pdf of report) We should caution, though, that Hasan did not work for Obama. But he was a part of the University’s efforts to advise Obama.
The HSPI fashions itself a “think and do tank” and claims its mission as that of building “bridges between theory and practice to advance homeland security through an interdisciplinary approach.” I wonder if one of those bridges leads to “understanding” the mindset of terrorists like Hasan, a participant in George Washington University’s “think and do” mission?
There is also video of Hasan participating at the GWU event.
So what of Obama? Why he’s still trying to understand this “tragic shooting.” Hours after the murderous rampage concluded, Obama made some rather facile comments after his jaunty opening remarks to members of America’s “First Nations” consisting of a long list of special “shout outs” to participants there.
“I planned to make some broader remarks,” he told the crowd. “But as some of you might have heard there has been a tragic shooting at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas.”
“This morning I met with FBI Director Mueller and the relevant agencies to discuss their ongoing investigation into what caused one individual to turn his gun on fellow servicemen and women,” he said. “We don’t know all of the answers yet, and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all of the facts.
One word is all you need to know, Mr. President: Islam.
Obama isn’t the only one pretending that this incident is beyond understanding or akin to some sort of “tragedy” or horrible accident nor is he the only one pretending that Islam has no role in Hasan’s murderous crime. As Obama called this a “tragic shooting” many in the Old Media followed suit. Instead of characterizing this as what it truly is, a crime motivated by religious zealotry, many Old Media outlets tried to pretend that this was somehow a “tragedy,” a mere unfortunate accident that befell our troops, one with no obvious motivating factors.
The Chicago Tribune, for instance, characterized Hasan as a “disturbed single gunman” instead of an Islamiofascist. For the Trib, Zeenat Rahman tried her best to pretend that Islam had nothing at all to do with Hasan’s crimes.
Ignoring Hasan’s many examples of Islamic radicalism, The Dallas Morning News’ Jacquielynn Floyd forcefully scoffed at anyone claiming to know his motivations and warned against drawing conclusions, dismissing Hasan’s actions as “a special kind of crazy.”
And then there were the labeling of this incident as a mere “tragedy.”
The Minnesota Daily Editorial Board headlined one of its posts on the incident a “tragedy developing.” For Newsweek, Rabeika Messina worried about how we should address these situations before “tragedy strikes.” Even the Christian Science Monitor called the incident a “tragedy” that “unfolded Thursday.”
This sort of rhetoric is not merely imprecise it is a cover up of the truth. This was not tragic as if a mere accident. It was a murderous crime.
Yet even worse than all the above, renowned moron Ron Reagan, extremist left-wing talk show host, coupled the tax/healthcare protests being held by conservatives that day in Washington D.C. to an event that was “pure tragedy” (his words) at Fort Hood.
Apparently when Ron Reagan thinks of peaceable protests against a socialist government takeover of our healthcare system and other onerous taxation he thinks of mass shootings by Muslim extremists. I guess Reagan sees no difference between the two since one so easily invokes the other in his mind.
So we have the president and his friends in the Old Media mislabeling this as a tragedy even as they try as hard as possible to pretend that Islam had no role in the Hasan murders — one of them, Ron Reagan, feeling that tea party protesters are just the same as a Muslim mass murderer. No wonder the left is struggling to understand what went on here.
Am I saying that all Muslims are crazed murderers? Of course not and I add this as a postscript because hatemongers like Ron Reagan will immediately launch into such a charge against me. But to pretend that Islam is a mere accidental factoid in the Hasan incident is not just absurd, but criminally negligent on behalf of the president and his lackeys in the Old Media.Islam is integral to this criminal act. There is no other way to assess this incident.

The hero of Fort Hood
With all the talk of the Fort Hood shooter, I think it’s important to also recognize someone else. She’s the hero of Fort Hood, a civilian who showed incredible bravery and strength under pressure, and certainly saved the lives of countless more people by stopping Nidall Malik Hasan. She is Sgt. Kimberly Munley, the hero of Fort Hood, and someone you should know.
The hero cop who ended the bloody rampage at Fort Hood by pumping four bullets into the crazed gunman even though she was wounded is known for her toughness, friends say.
… Munley’s toughness and grace under pressure were on display Thursday when she and her partner responded within three minutes of reported gunfire, said Army Lt. Gen. Bob Cone.
Munley, who had been trained in active-response tactics, rushed into the building and confronted the shooter as he was turning a corner, Cone said.
“It was an amazing and an aggressive performance by this police officer,” Cone said.
Munley was only a few feet from Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan when she opened fire.
Wounded in the exchange of bullets, the 34-year-old Munley was reported in stable condition at a local hospital.
This is Sgt. Munley:
Without the actions of Sgt. Munley, Hasan undoubtedly would have killed more people. He wasn’t going to stop until he was forced to stop, and I believe he was fully prepared to die yesterday. Kimberly Munley is a hero — and one bada** chick, too. She deserves just as much attention as the worthless pile of you-know-what who committed this atrocity is getting, if not more. Be sure to give her your gratitude, and keep her in your prayers for a quick recovery.

ACORN Office Raided In New Orleans
I’m sure this was all just prompted by those crazy folks in the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, just doing their level best to keep the man down. Oh, and surely, they are all raaaaacists to boot
Attorney General Buddy Caldwell has served a search warrant at the ACORN office at 2609 Canal Street, according to Tammi Arender Herring, a spokeswoman with the office.
Investigators in khaki pants and polo shirts loaded several dozen computers and other electronic items into an SUV. They are also carrying records out of the building on handcarts.
The large office building sits at the corner of Dorgenois and Canal. ACORN staffers were given no notice that a search would be conducted today, Herring said.
Early last month, Caldwell’s office issued subpoenas for records from ACORN’s New Orleans office, where the organization — now moving its national headquarters to Washington — has long been based.
Today’s search is an outgrowth of those subpoenas, which stemmed from an investigation by Caldwell’s office into the [embezzlement] of ACORN funds by Dale Rathke, a brother of the organization’s founder, Wade Rathke, Herring said.
Hmm, moving their main office to Washington, DC? I wonder why? You don’t suppose it is because federally elected Democrats will be able to better protect them from law enforcement, do you, and that they will be closer to those who give them their money? Na, couldn’t be.

Federal Reserve Extorting Banks? Video
by Maggie at Maggie’s Notebook
In a developing story, the Federal Reserve called the heads of New York’s largest banks to its lower Manhattan office earlier this week. According to some one speaking from the banks, the feds told the bankers to lower CEO compensation or….
The “precise” “or,” is not known, but Judge Andrew Napolitano, sitting in for ailing Glenn Beck believe the banks have been told you WILL lower CEO compensation or the FDIC will begin an audit.
Following are quotes from Judge Napolitano (there may be an occasional word that is not exact, but it is very close). See the video below.
The CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York called the heads of New York’s largest banks into the offices of his lower Manhattan offices.
We don’t know precisely what was said but we do know that the head of the Fed told the assembled bankers that they must start cutting executive compensation, or the government will do it for them.
The government admits that it has no lawful authority to regulate compensation at banks that never received TARP funds or paid the funds back already.
So what was the extortion? Undoubtedly, it was a threat to have the FDIC audit the banks if they fail to tow the pay Czar’s line. An FDIC audit will cost the banks tens of millions in employee loss of time and shareholder loss of value.
What is extortion? Extortion is a threat to perform a lawful act to influence the free will of someone else. Well, can the FDIC audit these banks? Yes. But may it do so to force executives to do what they have a lawful authority not to do? No.
