So you really think our lax immigration policies, that anyone who hates the USA and despises the American people can simply move on over?
That is not what I typed or meant, and you know it.
This is what I typed:
{We (Americans) should be thankful that we do NOT have people with opinions such as these making up our immigration and enforcement laws, or writing American foreign policy, we would definitely be in trouble}

My response was to this post

Round em up and outa here now, ah,- I'm only dreamin. However, it would be both prudent, wise and doable to call for a moratorium on any immigration whatsoever from the Muslim world. Unfortunately we elected a Muslim in Christian clothing for President.
ROUND 'EM UP.
My father was an M.P., and was stationed in Flagstaff, AZ, and guarding prisoners which were ROUNDED UP, JAPANESE CITIZENS WHO DID NOTHING WRONG. But were rounded up and imprisoned because they were JAPANESE-AMERICANS.
Much like the previous administration did with anyone who was a muslim.
And were not given the rights of due process.

Anyone that thinks this practice is ok? There's seriously something wrong with them, and I said thankfully, we don't not have people (who round people up) in charge of immigrations or writing American Foreign Policy.

I don't care what he was called. There is no excuse for what he did. People are such pu$$ies now it's unbelievable. People were harassed far worse back in the day and didn't go on rampages. Why now? I'm not saying that calling people names is okay. I'm just saying that shooting people because of it isn't the answer (and it's becoming more common...if this is what the alleged reason for this incident was).

Would that be something like... Thanks for the education. Can I go back to Palestine now so I can shoot some Jews?

Sounds like he was just an idiot, posing as a psychiatrist, probly not a difficult arrangement.

This is so ridiculous! Just another way of him stating, "But, I'm a victim too!" Of course, his family is going to blame the Americans. I served in the U.S. Navy, and there was very little tolerance for any comment that could be construed as "biggoted."

I don't know why a mature Muslim would be insulted by being called a "camel jockey".

I'm half Swede, and I don't mind being called a SAABING LIBERAL.

Exactly. This is the same thing I saw when I was in the military (little tolerance for bigotry). This guys a f-ing punk. Everyone is trying to "figure him out". Here...I figured him out. He's a punk. Also...If half of what he said or how he reacted about American's misfortunes, death, etc. was true it's no wonder why people called him names. He should have had his f-ing teeth knocked out a few times and been booted out of the military for some of the stuff he "allegedly" said or did (if true that is).

So, once again, we're going to pretend that this was something other than what is obvious to the most casual observer, an act of terrorism from a Jihadist sympathizer within the ranks of our own miltary.

He had been known to make anti-Ameircan statements, had posted anti-American comments on internet blogs, argued with fellow troops about the war, etc., etc.

But we have to look away from the facts, and in our "politically correct" infinite "wisdom" we will continue to put our brave men at risk by allowing acts of treason within the ranks, and find some other excuse for the actions of these enemies of our country.

When will we ever learn? There are people in this world that mean us harm. And they have vowed to infiltrate our militray, and it seems obvious that they have done just that.

Who cares that he was called "Camel Jockey"? We nicknamed a girl in art school "camel jocky" because she was Middle Eastern. She thought it was hilarious, and laughed every time we called her that (By the way, she was very good looking ).

Default Obama Shows More Concern Over the Henry Gates Incident than 13 Soldiers Killed by a Terrorist

Back in July, it seemed amazing that a little local story here in Boston regarding a police officer doing his job protecting a resident from a potential burglary would garnish more concern than the death of 13 military service men, and 31 wounded from an Islamic terrorist.

President Obama was at a conference for a native American issue, when after more than three minutes mentioned the incident at Fort Hood as though it was nothing more than a foot note, not all that significant. Amazing! Then he has the audacity to tell the public not to jump to conclusions, when this is exactly what he did when he decided to pass judgement on an exemplary police officer, when he didn't even have any of the facts.

Imagine, a little story about an hysterical, uncooperative Harvard professor screaming at a police officer when he did nothing more than requested an i.d. garnishing national press; never mind attention from the president of the U.S. It's easy to see where his priorities are.

You know, it is only because of massively stupid comments that I find myself making comments that could be vaguely and erroneously appear to be written as a defense of folks like Hasan, but respond I must.

Rednecks don't go around killing masses of people for any sundry of ridiculous perceived personal insults or slights?

Does George Hennard ring a bell? A bit ironic that the Lubby's massacre was also around Ft. Hood.

What a nutty perspective.

I would like to know if you have a real timeline comparing these two events.

Anything at all based on reality that leads you to your title's conclusion.
