"Just Tell Them...

I have worked 40 years to make the Women's Suffrage platform broad enough for Atheists and Agnostics to stand upon, and now if need be I will fight the next 40 to keep it Catholic enough to permit the straightest Orthodox religionist to speak or pray and count her beads upon."

"Compassion Fatigue" is NOT an Excuse for Terrorism! It is a Real Diagnosis and It Deserves Respect...

I was busy over the weekend. Not much time to blog. But that doesn't mean I was not I watching the saga as it unfolded at Fort Hood. Once again I must thank my PUMA friends for keeping me up to snuff on the nation's hottest news stories!

I am FLABERGHASTED. As are Afrocity and Cynthia Yockey and Uppity Woman.

Despite my Liberal roots and voting record.... I am on the same page with Phyllis Chesler and Murph this time. And that is not likely to change soon.... unless I see mass repudiation of this tyrant, Hassan, by high level Muslims in my community and the world. Clerics staying quiet, and flying below the radar will not garner my support this time.... as it did after 9/11.

I've been listening. And... for the most part.... crickets.

Except, of course, from the apologist Obot legions who want me to believe the "good doctor" was suffering from "Compassion Fatigue."

Oh... and while I'm on that subject .... As a family scientist, I *object* to the deliberate misuse of one of my profession's diagnoses to excuse terrorism.

Sorry, I guess my own "Compassion Fatigue" is setting in.
