So once again one alleged criminal who has more than ample reason to go postal kills Americans because of our corrupt foreign policy and our
brainwashed complacent citizenry and who do you want to bomb this time for the alleged homicidal actions of one man? Iran, Syria? Just as long as they
are Muslim, so you can cry later when Muslims get tired of it?
So you believe this alleged shooter was justified in murdering his fellow service people? Seriously? I guess we now know what kind of person you
are. Thank you for your honesty.
As for the rest of the gibberish in your post, please point out where I ever advocated bombing any country in response to this mass murder? You
can't of course which is further proof of your intellectual dishonesty.
You know, you could save us all a lot of time if you removed the nonsensical and irrelevant portions of your posts. That would likely leave us with
but a line or two of utter rubbish to wade through.
What I believe is a Constitutional Process assesses guilt and punishment not Internet Bloggers.
As far as my posts that you are being critical of they are laced with pertinent information that addressed each and every one of your contentions.
The reality is they speak for themselves and that you now have chosen to attack them in general as well as me just suggests that you can't actually
overcome through a cordial debate my rebuttals to what you have previously tried to assert and had rebutted.
The fact of the matter is that here in the United States no one is guilty of anything no matter how horrific a crime until a Court of Law and a Jury
of one's Peers presided over by a fair and unbiased Judge says so.
That you think Americans who value that process are some hoe deficient in their duties as Americans is as tragically flawed as one could ever be.
The Constitution is the Constitution, and our values shouldn't go out the window with a rush to let emotion instead of fact and prudence rule the
day.
It's why we are embroiled in two morally and financially bankrupting wars and do through our lopsided and faulty foreign policy potentially invite
blowback from the victims of it and those who see the true injustices in it.
We can learn from our mistakes or keep trying to perpetuate them through a Might Makes Right mentality that not only is not right but invites a whole
hose of subsequent problems caused by such foolish thinking.
Wisdom isn't an easy thing to acquire friend, it requires wanting to know the truth, knowing the truth and having the true courage to face the truce.
Some people imagine courage is dropping a laser and computer guided smart bomb on the home of innocent men, women and children who have never attacked
America in any way, shape or form.
Wise people know the greatest courage is being able to publicly admit "I was wrong".
America has lost that courage, along with it's morality and conscious.
That is what creates a terrorism problem.
This incident in Ft. Hood though has not led to one charge being filed against the alleged gunman as of today a whole week later.
That alone is very telling, along with all the initial conflicting media reporters on multiple shooters in multiple locations.
Wise people wait for the dust to settle and for all the facts to be revealed before passing judgment.
Why anyone should or would be criticized for doing just that when it is at the heart of our very Constitutional Process of Justice is beyond me
friend.
