"We may never find out" | 5:33 p.m. Nov. 14, 2009
MY FOOT! We know exactly what happened. A jihadist who gave plenty of warning of his feelings, as well as having the sort of job reviews that would have gotten the ordinary soldier separated from the service, not promoted to Major, carried out a well-planned attack on American soldiers--on a military post in America.

What's to find out? It's no wonder that our military morale is low when soldiers' commanding officers spout such silliness. My special forces son says he can't even stand to think about what's happening to America if he wants to do the job he's sworn to do--defend and protect the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic! How can any soldier do his job when he has to worry about the soldier next to him?

Our soldiers are willing to die to protect America--why aren't we willing to protect them? This is the direct result of "political correctness"--Nasan's superiors were afraid to kick him out for fear of being accused of prejudice.
Time to End "PC" | 2:43 a.m. Nov. 16, 2009
It is time to end the "political correctness" that is ruining this country. I am not a racist or prejudiced if I call a terrorist a terrorist. It doesn't matter if that person is white, black, brown, or green; Mormon, Muslim, Catholic or Atheist. Timothy McVey was a terrorist and Hasan is a terrorist.

Kristen Whittle, girlfriend of Pfc. Aaron Thomas Nemelka reacts at the funeral honoring the 19-year-old at the Utah Veterans Memorial Park near Camp Williams in Bluffdale Saturday. Nemelka joined the Army a little more than a year ago and was preparing to deploy to Iraq. Relatives say he was planning to ask Whittle to marry him in December during a visit home.
