This'n'That; November 11th [Vet'sDay;Apathy]

Veteran's Day It's here, the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month!! World War One [prior to WWII, known as "The Great War"] ended with the signing of an "armistice" at that time and date in 1918.

At 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918—"the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month"—a ceasefire came into effect. Opposing armies on the Western Front began to withdraw from their positions. Canadian Private George Lawrence Price is traditionally regarded as the last soldier killed in the Great War: he was shot by a German sniper at 10:57 and died at 10:58.

President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. The United States Congress passed a concurrent resolution seven years later on June 4, 1926, requesting the President issue another proclamation to observe November 11 with appropriate ceremonies. An Act approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday; "a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day'." Emporia, Ks., U.S. Rep. Ed Rees, wrote and gained co-sponsors for a bill to make "Armistice Day" a federal holiday and guided it through Congress. President Dwight Eisenhower signed it into law on May 26, 1954. Congress amended this act on November 8, 1954, replacing "Armistice" with "Veterans," and it has been known as Veterans Day since. "Clown Prince" Displays Apathy Toward Military The "Clown Prince" again displayed complete apathy toward the U.S. military in general; the United States Army in particular!! Fluffy obama was well aware of the muslim massacre at Fort Hood when he took the podium for his daily photo op and blather. He elected to temporarily ignore the devistation to make closing remarks at the Tribal Nations' Conference in Oklahoma City. During his remarks, he-incorrectly-honored "Medal of Honor" recipient Dr Joe Medicine Crow with "a shout-out." Dr Medicine Crow has been awarded the Bronze Star and Légion d'honneur for his actions during WWII. He was never awarded the Medal of Honor!! Dumb-ass Fluffy-himself-DID award Dr Medicine Crow the "Presidential Medal of Freedon" on August 8, 2009!! It took Fluffy nearly a full two minutes to even mention the Fort Hood tradegy!! And only after his routine bullshit of thanking "everybody-and-his-brother" for showing up at this photo op/blather session. Fluffy is quoted in the pages of the New York Times advising us not to “jump to conclusions.” According to CNN, obama has also cautioned against a “backlash” against Muslims in the military and in the country. This—from the "Clown Prince" who bowed before the Saudi King; who betrayed Muslim women in his Cairo speech.

• AP reported last Friday that there had been “immediate” anti-Muslim “backlash.” What happened?
• Did armed bands of furious Islamophobes throw molotov cocktails at mosques?
• Did ferocious white supremacists maul fragile little girls in hijabs on their way to school?
• Did angry bigots spit at pious imams quietly going about their business?
• No.
• Had there been any report--any report at all--of any innocent, random Muslim being attacked in a “backlash” after the Fort Hood jihad?
• Nope. Not one. Americans are decent people. Americans believe people are innocent until proven guilty.

But Ibrahim Hooper and his fellow thugs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) need to be able to claim that hate crimes are being committed so that they can claim victim status for Muslims and deflect attention away from such small matters as the jihad at Fort Hood

The only actual incidents of “backlash” the AP could come up with were incidents of people calling the Fort Hood massacre a "jihad attack" -- as if it is “Islamophobic” and hateful to note that a man was shouting “Allahu akbar” as he gunned people down, and that he gave out Korans hours before he started shooting people, and that he expressed sympathy for suicide attackers.

General Casey, the Army Chief-of-Staff is toeing "the company line"... supporting obama's chosen religion as opposed to supporting ALL religions and primarily Christianity. After all, America is a christian nation-NOT an islamic nation, as the "Clown Prince" has noted on occasion!!

On “Meet the Depressed”, when asked whether Muslim soldiers are conflicted in fighting wars in Muslim countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, Casey said: “I think that’s something that we have to look at on an individual basis."
