The Enemy Within (originally posted by Nomad)

Yet another terror attack that will more than likely go unanswered in the name of Political Correctness. A Muslim soldier calmly fired over 50 shots while reciting, "Allahu Akbar" into a crowded room of American Soldiers who were getting set to deploy and still we refuse to identify the motive for this shooting as a religious hate crime. President Obama recently met with the FBI director and they are still emphasizing that the motive for this act of terror is unclear. Taking the fact that he methodically shot over 40 people, killing 13 of our fine heroes while calming saying God is Great there can be no other motive than Jihad. We should aggressively hunt down his support network and permanently shut them down. Instead, the Military command will more than likely develop programs that will aim to make people like this mass murderer feel more comfortable in the military. The issue will most likely become the way this terrorist was made to feel by the other soldiers, some of whom did their part and turned him in because of his suspicious actions, instead of the fact that he was committed to Jihad and actively sought to destroy America from within.

When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.
He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.'

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying 'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent
an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What
does he intended to do, bomb them?'
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: 'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they
are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and
from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does
France have?'

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included
Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French
Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those
countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped
their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these
conferences rather than speaking French?' Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied 'Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians,
Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak
German.'

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he
took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
'You have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer
asked sarcastically.Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.'Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.'The American said, 'The last time I was here, I
didn't have to show it.' "Impossible.
Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France!'
The American senior gave the
Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, 'Well, when I
came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this
country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport
to.'

Thomas Paine:

“ It has been the error of the schools to teach astronomy, and all the other sciences, and subjects of natural philosophy, as accomplishments only; whereas they should be taught theologically, or with reference to the Being who is the author of them: for all the principles of science are of divine origin. Man cannot make, or invent, or contrive principles: he can only discover them; and he ought to look through the discovery to the Author.”
“ The evil that has resulted from the error of the schools, in teaching natural philosophy as an accomplishment only, has been that of generating in the pupils a species of atheism. Instead of looking through the works of creation to the Creator himself, they stop short, and employ the knowledge they acquire to create doubts of his existence. They labour with studied ingenuity to ascribe every thing they behold to innate properties of matter, and jump over all the rest by saying, that matter is eternal.” “The Existence of God--1810”

I wonder what Mr. Paine would think if he were here today?
