I looked for something from you that had merit. Imagine my surprise that it wasnt here... Looks more like your own little rant..

the statement that any american rejoiced at the death of 3,000 shows your total ignorance. Stop looking for reasons to hate others and scream about security.

I am so tired of the hypocrisy. "Stay out of my life govt, leave us alone" but then interrogate everyone and arrest them if they call a muslim.

you scream for freedom but support the patriot act

I patiently await your response.


Seems like this question has merit to me. He is asking for facts.


Do conservatives even know what they support or do they just hate and oppose everything for the sake of it.

Its a crime to associate with terrorists organizations. Exchanging emails are indeed an "association".. If I recall we have had american citizens charged with similar crimes. (Bryant Neal Vinas being one) There also exist racketeering laws among several others that could have been charged.

My only hope is that the man was allowed to continue with his "contacts" which were being monitors for the sake of gathering additional information for intelligence.

Whoah! Did the European Jews fly planes into some German skyscrapers? Did they blow up buildings across Europe because their countrymen refused to keep kosher?

Yes, Muslims are just as innocent and victimized and helpless as Jews ever were!

Blech. You know, the Muslims never shrink from stealing other people's histories or status. It began with the Bible, when they claimed that Ishmael was to be sacrificed and not Isaac. It continues to this day, when they claim to be "brutalized" though anyone with a brain knows who the real perps are in the Middle East. Really pretty pathetic, and guess what, ergohead, you don't HAVE TO believe the lies.

The man contacted a terrorists who happened to be a muslim, and the fact that you linked "terrorists to muslim" proves the OPs point..

You have to give something of merit in order to receive it.

I asked a simple question, do you honestly believe that law enforcement's prior knowledge of, an American citizen beliefs is on the same par as ignoring the repeated warnings of the head of counter-terrorism about intelligence of an imminent attack?

Instead of answering the question, you chose to scream about "not getting away" with this one, whatever that is suppose to mean, and in response to that you expected, what?

The argument that this is worse, can probably be made simply based upon their failure to take actions on the obvious. Not sure if I agree with the argument, but I do understand it.
What actions did you want the government to take? Arrest Hasan for exercising his right of free speech? Or 24/7 surveillance? Do you think the government has the resources to do 24/7 surveillance on every person whose actions mirrored Hasan's?

You people are simply amazing and very, very dangerous I might add by your intentional dishonesty and ***** footing on serious issues.
Again, your argument was not logical, and your attacking my "honesty" doesn't further your argument.

Your assertion that the government didn't want to offend anyone is not supported by the facts. The facts are that the government has to evaluate thousands and thousands of potential threats, and that there wasn't any indication that Hasan was likely to take guns on to the military base where he worked and open fire. He never said in any of his posts that he planned to do this.
