Remember the Victims of the Fort Hood Rampage
In his first address during a time of national mourning, President Obama on Tuesday hailed the victims of the deadly Fort Hood shooting as heroes, saying "no words can fill the void that has been left."
Obama, who traveled to Fort Hood to console survivors and family members of victims of the deadly massacre that killed 13 and wounded 29 last week, said, "We come together filled with sorrow for the thirteen Americans that we have lost, with gratitude for the lives that they led, and with a determination to honor them through the work we carry on."
The president said the memory of those who died "will be honored in the places they lived and by the people they touched."

Except for the phrase - “No faith justifies these murderous and craven acts” it was an excellent speech and gave comfort were much is needed. Who wrote this teleprompter speech for Obama?

Even during last years campaign he has mentioned God many times, he is a religious man, a christian man who is raising two beautiful daughters, why say such things about a god-fearing intelligent man like President Obama?
biker
His idea of God is what reverend wright has taught him for over 20 years. You see it your way..I see it mine. What do his daughters have to do with anything? I know many people raising two beautiful daughters!

We Can't Sit Back and Allow the Loss of Our Freedoms
*
We elect the government. It works for us. As we watch the Democrats' plans for health care take shape, we can only ask how did our government get so removed, so unbridled, so arrogant that it can tell us how to live our personal lives?
*
Last Saturday, at 11 o’clock in the evening, the House of Representatives voted by a five vote margin to have the federal government manage the health care of every American at a cost of $1 trillion dollars over the next ten years.
*
For the first time in American history, if this bill becomes law, the Feds will force you to buy insurance you might not want, or may not need, or cannot afford. If you don’t purchase what the government tells you to buy, if you don’t do so when they tell you to do it, and if you don’t buy just what they say is right for you, the government may fine you, prosecute you, and even put you in jail. Freedom of choice and control over your own body will be lost. The privacy of your communications and medical decision making with your physician will be gone. More of your hard earned dollars will be at the disposal of federal bureaucrats.
*
It was not supposed to be this way. We elect the government. It works for us. How did it get so removed, so unbridled, so arrogant that it can tell us how to live our personal lives? Evil rarely comes upon us all at once, and liberty is rarely lost in one stroke. It happens gradually, over the years and decades and even centuries. A little stretch here, a cave in there, powers are slowly taken from the states and the people and before you know it, we have one big monster government that recognizes no restraint on its ability to tell us how to live. It claims the power to regulate any activity, tax any behavior, and demand conformity to any standard it chooses.
*
The Founders did not give us a government like the one we have today. The government they gave us was strictly limited in its scope, guaranteed individual liberty, preserved the free market, and on matters that pertain to our private behavior was supposed to leave us alone.
*
In the Constitution, the Founders built in checks and balances. If the Congress got out of hand, the states would restrain it. If the states stole liberty or property, the Congress would cure it. If the President tried to become a king, the courts would prevent it.

Elimination of diversity training ,sealing the borders and honoring one flag would be a good start to prevent future attacks.

Obama has no emotions does he? His speech was canned and lacked empathy. These poor guys were gunned down by a terrorist from Islam.
Brenda
I was struck by the same thing. He shows no emotion except when he is extolling the religion of Islam. I feel a great deal of sorrow to know that our military personnel have this worm as their leader.
