Character flaw was the description Sen. Tom Coburn used to describe the position that Kathleen Sebelius holds on abortion. This was the expression the Oklahoma senator, who is an OB-GYN doctor, used to describe the fact that Sebelius never saw an abortion she did not like.
Now, as much as I disdain what Mrs. Sebelius stands for on abortion and the fact that she, just as every other Obama cabinet nominee, is a tax evader, I believe that the outrage of Sen. Coburn should be best directed elsewhere.
The Senate voted to confirm Sebelius for Health and Human Services Secretary, confirming her with a vote of 65 to 31 with the needed minimum of 60 votes.
Of the 65 who voted for the woman are eight senators that happen to have an R after their names, meaning that if these so-called Republicans would have voted the correct way, the nomination would have been rejected.
Actually, the RINOs who voted yes were nine, but the ninth was Arlen Specter, who appropriately just switched his partisan loyalty to the Left. So n the interest of public information, here are the name of the traitors who, I hope, will be fired from their jobs next time they are up for election:
Brownback – KS
Bond - MO
Collins – ME
Gregg – NH
Lugar – IN
Roberts – KS
Snowe – ME
Specter – PA
Voinovich – OH
Collins, Snowe, Lugar and Voinovich are the usual suspects and Specter I have already addressed, but I was somewhat taken aback by Brownback. I guess the senators from Kansas are trying to catch up with the traitors from Maine. Keep it up, senators.
So now Sebelius will be placed in charge of the health issues of the country. The Leftist Congress declared that the explosion of the swine influenza in Mexico and its spread to the rest of the world, it was imperative that the secretary of HHS would be confirmed as soon as possible, that it was a matter of national security. Déjà vu all over again! Just like the country needed Tim Gaithner immediately, as a matter of national security to deal with the economic emergency, regardless of the tax evasion little problems the man had. So they got confirmed a guy that is in charge of all fiscal matters for an economy like the US, a guy not smart enough to avoid a “mistake” on Turbo Tax.
So how is little Timmy doing with the economy? Probably as well as Sebelius will be doing at HHS.
Some of the points of interest of the plan Obama has for the Universal Health Care he want America to have is based on the creation of a bureaucracy that will collect the medical records of all Americans and apply governmental control upon the treatments being given by doctors across the country. It will no longer be a medical decision to apply medical treatment to any of us, but it will be controlled by the secretary of HHS, who will also decide the punishment that doctors will receive should they not conform to the new, more efficient guidelines.
Just as a starter, I am extremely concerned about a federal agency controlling my medical records, or those of all Americans. They are supposed to be secret and private, but Obama wants them to be available to him. As a matter of history, it appears to me that the government does not have a good record about preserving personal and national right to privacy. With the HHS bureaucracy becoming larger and larger, the chances for illegal and malicious violation of privacy for millions of Americans, grows exponentially. Moreover, that kind of personal data could be very easily abused by the government for purposes of political attacks and individual’s character assassination. Not that the politicians would stoop that low!
The confirmation of Sebelius was just another step toward turning America into a Socialist country, and Obama is right on track as he and the panting Media is celebrating the first 100 days of the last days of a country that used to be the envy of the rest of the world and that the current political leadership in Congress and in the White House are trying so persistently to destroy.
And these are my thoughts!

Rejecting Memories
The airwaves have been filled with cries about morality, how in America it took the election of the Messiah Barak Hussein Obama for an entire country to regain its morality. The subject is the famous “tortures” that the Bush Administration authorized following the 9-11-01 attacks against our civilian population. The release of some of the secret memos discussing the alleged tortures has fueled the Left nutcases into a frenzy, not much different of the feeding frenzy we would witness from a school of blood crazed sharks.
The released memos, which by the way gave away to our enemies that much we had as a tactical advantage, indicated that the famous waterboarding was applied 183 times to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and 83 times to Abu Zubaydah, at least as reported by the NY Times, a collection of numbers that brought the terrorists apologist to tears and rage against the people who kept America safe for eight years. Of course, what the NY Times conveniently forgot to mention is that the numbers they referred to as “instances of waterboarding” actually were the numbers of total times water was poured on the subjects’ faces. Truthfully, Mohammed only was truly waterboarded a total of FIVE times and Zubaydah a grand total of TEN times, and these numbers come to us from a Red Cross report and testimonies from the two peace loving terrorists themselves. If anyone is waiting for the NY Times to print a correction, well…you probably have a better chance to get waterboarded by Obama himself.
So, as I read about these “tortures” and the apologies of the Obama gangsters and the “outrage” of the lunatics on the Left, I get a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. My rage is compounded by having the bad habit of reading and searching for common sense truth. So couple of days ago I found a magazine dated back to about September 12 or13, 2001. Full page pictures of the tragedy that had befallen on America just few days earlier. These pictures are famous, having circulated the globe until the powers in control of the Media decided that they were too brutal, too inflammatory to keep on showing them, images that have all but disappeared from all Media. These were pictures of people in New York plunging to their deaths from hundred of feet, some in couple, some alone, having to have made the horrible decision to prefer a long plunging death to being burned alive. I looked at the pictures of emergency personnel, the firefighters and police officers, resolutely walking into the buildings, full conscious of the fact that it could be their last mission, only to be reduced to dust just few minutes later. I gazed at the pictures of those dazed survivors covered in dust and blood, walking as zombies out of the devastation. I looked at the heart wrenching pictures of terrified and devastated relatives walking the streets, holding pictures of a loved one missing.
Pictures of those innocent victims whose lives were brutally and violently truncated for the simple sin of living in America and making a living in the Twin Towers (remember, the Little Heichmans as described by that typical example of Academia Ward Churchill?).
There were pictures of the devastation at the Pentagon, where uniformed and civilian personnel was running toward the flames in the attempt to help those who were still alive.
And the pictures of a large crater in a field in Pennsylvania, where the first counterattack of the latest conflict America had been brought upon, took place.
The images in the magazine, only re-enforcing the rage inside me, as the memories and the fear of those days have never really left my consciousness. I just wish I could say the same for the rest of America!
I should have not looked at those images at a time when I am witnessing America being slowly dismantled from within. The same ideological type of people who sat in the cockpits of those airplanes in 2001, today walk the halls of Congress, the Pentagon and the White House; people who hate America, hate everything she has always stood for, people who look at America as the evil responsible for all the discontent and hate in the world. These are the people that a portion of the American population gave power to, via the ballot boxes. Some of those voters are already regretting the choice made in November, others are so blinded by the historical fact of having a black President that they do not realize the color of the skin is no substitute for love of country and respect for the Constitution and the American way of life. In a country like America, the color of the skin should not be a substitute for incompetence and ill intentions.
And yet the memories of 9-11-01 are fast fading, being rejected by a multitude of Americans at a rate that is frightening. We Americans have become reactive people with no common sense.
We react to a moronic, insensitive stunt as it was just perpetrated over the Manhattan skies on Monday, suddenly reminded of the terror we felt in 2001 when we saw the planes flying low over the city skyline, sending thousands of people scurrying like terrified roaches. But the same people get all squeamish about some water poured over the face of a terrorist.
Opulence and security has changed the American people, who have lost that love of country and love of freedom and individuality that has made America what it is. We have become a country of people who MUST belong to some form of group, who are uncomfortable with self-reliance, who depend on collectivism when we are faced with what we perceive as a life obstacle. We can no longer live our lives unless we are aware of all the others with the same idiosyncrasies as ours and when all else fails, we need the Government to wipe our butts.
Maybe, just maybe, the economic ruination Obama is bringing upon the country and the perfect conditions for another possibly worst attack Obama is creating, not to mention the conditions for defeat he is fostering in Iraq, will take America into a dark era that will somehow force the people to realize what they once had and allowed to be taken away: liberty, honor, pride in country, willingness to preserve our way of life, independence from a corrupted government, conscience of morality.
We can start by not allowing others to force us to reject our memories, especially the bad ones. Such are the memories that will inspire the continuation of the fight for our country.
And these are my thoughts!

Cancer In America
America today is like a person’s body being ravaged by cancer. The disease is not terminal yet, but, as in the case of physiological cases, if not treated it will soon become a death sentence.
America has several malignant tumors, some of them are high profile, well known elements that are not so covertly attacking the American way of life in their quests to gain a level of power as close as absolute as they think they can get without alienating the part of the population that supports them, but are also not too kin to accept totalitarianism. Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Reid, the list of high profile elitists is long and distinguished!
As much as these elements attract the attention of the general public for their continuous appearance on the Media and its continuous propaganda spin, those who are the most dangerous to the freedom and the way of life of the American people are the ones who perform their voodoo rituals under the radar of public opinion. They are the under-secretaries, the Presidential advisors, the diplomatic envoys. These are obscure figures that the Obama regime has placed into positions where they are not continuously scrutinized by outside entities, like some Media outlets, but that have enough power to influence policy for quite some time.
One of these people is a certain Rosa Brooks. Who is this woman? She is a well known Leftist who has been known for being a brutal critic of the Bush Administration. She has labeled al-Qaeda as a little more than an obscure group of extremist thugs. She referred to President Bush and VP Cheney as psychotic and in need of mental help. She determined that the surge in Iraq was not going to work. And she made no excuses for considering President Bush a war criminal, whose policies after the 9-11 attacks made America less safe.
So this woman, whose qualifications still escape me, has been appointed to be an advisor to the Undersecretary of Defense for policy Michelle Flournoy.
Many would ask why would she be such a threat to the country?
Well for start, this position is a focal point for the development of our country’s policy as it refers to our defense. Experts from the previous administration stated that for people who want to greatly influence the Pentagon policy, holding this position would give them a great opportunity. As an advisor, Ms. Brooks can have a great influence on the Dept. of Defense upcoming planning review. All suggestions are brought up to the Undersecretary and the discussion than starts to make the wanted changes on the document. This danger has been seen in the 2007 Intelligence Report on Iran Nuclear ambitions. Some of the changes made before the report was publicized, stated that Iran was not seeking nuclear weapons, only to be debunked by the realization that Iran may be in possession of such weapons as early as 2010. Damage done.
In her position, Rosa Brooks would have the potential to see some of her anti-Military views being incorporated in the actual Defense Policy, potentially affecting the readiness of our Military and the security of our nation. The application of her extreme ideology to her decision making for our defense policy is a scary and disturbing reality. Moreover, the fact that she is an appointed political figure, she is immune from being ‘fired’ by voters. The only way to rid America of her twisted, Socialist, defeatist influence on the most important policy making in the country is to get rid of Obama, so we as a nation will have to wait until 2012 to eradicate this cancerous cell in America.
The Constitutionally guaranteed procedure of having civilians in control of the Military establishment was a provision that the Founding Fathers installed to prevent the scourge that history has seen over and over, of military dictatorships. In American history, this provision has served the country well almost always. But giving access to policy making power to individuals who follow ideological principles that are not at the core of the American system and are contrary to National interest appears to me to be a gamble that our country is destined to lose.
As we saw during the Clinton administration, the devastation of our Military and of our Intelligence Services came with a high price to pay when we were attacked. Similarly, the same level of cuts and devastation that Jimmy Carter brought upon America in just four years also took time and money to reverse. In the case of our current President, it is not just the cuts to the Military that will be disastrous, but also the civilian infrastructure. The steps toward Socialism that Obama has been taking so far will be extremely hard to reverse and render innocuous, but we have to make sure, as real Americans, that we understand how vital to the survival of the country is to regain that footing of self-reliance and independence from any government, whoever the political ideology in charge is at the time
And these are my thoughts!

Don't Confuse Us With Facts
April 24, 2009. The date a Congressional hearing where Al Gore was going to spew some more travesty regarding the high power scam that is called Global Warming. Actually these days, because the warming part is harder to feed to the masses due to the lower temperatures having been recorded, is better known as Climate Changes.
Whatever the fad is called these days, the reality of the whole thing is that good old Al has been feeding a healthy portion of bovine excrements that a lot of ignorant people have bought into. Now, I am not going to get into a scientific discussion, because I am not a scientist and, opposed to Gore, I don’t pretend to play one on TV. My ranting is sparked by the abuse of power that the Liberals in Washington seem to be enjoying so much these days.
At this supposedly high profile hearing, Al Gore was supposed to testify next to someone with opposing views, in sort of a fact-finding event. The person that was to “debate” the illustrious former VP was one Lord Christopher Monckton, a REAL British scientist who had been scientific advisor for former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Lord Monckton flew to Washington for the hearing, only to find out, upon landing in the US capital, that the Democrats had rescinded his invitation made by Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) who sits on the Energy and Commerce Committee. Upon receiving the un-invite, Lord Monckton described the Democratic leadership in the US Congress as “cowards” and I could not agree more with his assessment.
The whole ordeal is nothing more than the attempt to subdue the growing sentiments that the cause championed by Al Gore and his fund raisers is nothing more than a Global Scam.
In the attempt to blow smoke in the eyes of the American people and the world on the subject, the ranking Democrats invited former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to replace Monckton, which immediately brought to my memory the image of the commercial that Gingrich made about Global Warming sitting on couch with no other than Nancy Pelosi.
This was just another example of the methodology employed by the Liberals in America to assert their power and abuse it. The cause of the hypocritical Gore has been debunked by thousands of real scientist whose opinions have been totally ignored by the political leadership in Washington. The simple reason for this ignorance of facts resides in the Liberal take over of control over the lives of the American people. They equate the climate scam movement with a real, enthusiastic possibility to impose their will upon the people by taking control of what they drive, how they heat or cool their homes, how they manage their energy consumption.
What does this control translate into? Out-of-control taxation.
Does anybody really think that Nancy Pelosi cares about the environment, as she scurries around the country in fuel-eating Air Force jets at a whim? Really!
Or even Obama, who burns thousands of pound of jet fuel just to celebrate Earth Day in Iowa?
Sorry, but I am not convinced. To me Al Gore is just another frustrated fat politician who is trying desperately to remain relevant in the lives of the American people. His work on the Climate Change issue is nothing more than a way for this wind bag to attempt to make sure the people of this country do not forget who he is. If there was any truth in the cause he has made a fortune on, the way to add credibility to his point would be to have a serious debate with experts on the subject. Avoiding any kind of rebuttal and having his buddies in Congress watch his fat rear end does nothing for me to believe anything he says.
And please, do not come to me and tell me that he won an Oscar for his lie-cumentary, because I have been unimpressed (major understatement) with the Oscar crowd for many years now, so that does not make me write bad checks!
Same goes for the Nobel Prize. After the Peace Prize was awarded to Yassir Arafat, all my respect for that achievement went right out of the window. It proved to me that all those folks are is a bunch of rich elitists so far from the reality of our world that they might as well live on Mars and they would be more relevant.
So the Socialists in Congress scored another “victory” for their record of abuse of power. They went to the extreme of making a farce of another Congressional hearing - for which, remember, we pay for including getting Lord Monckton to the States – just so that Al Gore would not be humiliated in public. This is just another example of what the American people voted for and now get. This is the new America, where the political leadership openly stifles dissent (remember when dissent was patriotic? Now is racist!), and even when they are brought to task, they are so smug that they openly ignore the people’s outrage.
Well, how is Hope and Change working out for you?
And these are my thoughts!

The Dividends of Appeasement
Although Obama still cannot pronounce ‘Pakistan’, I hope he is paying attention to the events unfolding in that country.
The current president of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari has just signed an agreement that would allow the Taliban to take control of the Swat Province, installing Sharia law. Appeasing the terrorists was designed to stem the militants’ goal of taking over the entire country. The effects, instead, appear to be opposite as the Taliban forces are now moving south into the Buner Province, located approximately 60 miles north of Islamabad, the nation’s capital.
These terrorists were the so-called ‘moderates’ during the negotiations that they conducted with the Pakistani government, negotiations that brought the Swat Province to become a heaven for those who like beheadings and floggings.
The situation is, according to Pakistani military officials not as dire as it appears, that the terrorists have only control of 25% of the province of Buner and that the Pakistani Military is in control of the situation. What a relief. Because America should be reassured about anything coming from the Pakistani military, a really trustworthy organization, right? And even giving the benefit of the doubt, how can anyone state that all is under control is a quarter of the province is in the hands of the enemy?
As a contrast, other officials from the area are telling of Taliban militants establishing road blocks, moving around public markets telling people to embrace Sharia Law. They are broadcasting Islamic religious verses on the local radios and have been going around music stores ordering them to stop selling music.
The reality is that the situation is realistically dangerous for many reasons.
For starter, these terrorists are only 60 miles away from two Pakistani military bases, near the country’s capital, where nuclear weapons are stored. Are these weapons secured? Can Zardari guarantee that they will not fall into terrorist hands? Does the US have a contingency plan for such an event, besides offering an apology?
On the same subject, these weapons may be guarded by military personnel already sympathizing with the Islamic extremists, which would create a severe problem for the Islamabad government to secure the weapons if the militants would continue to move toward the capital.
Most importantly for the United States would be for the terrorist, who are openly supporters of Osama bin Laden, to be in possession of these weapons, as they suddenly would become a clear and present danger to the 40,000 US Military personnel in Afghanistan, and ultimately a clear and present danger on our own soil.
So I hope that Obama is actually paying attention to these events, taking time away from self admiration, because this is a visible proof, as if history does not give us countless examples already, that appeasement against an enemy bent on your destruction is not a viable solution. Zardari must have missed that lesson in his history class, but soon may be receiving a crash course in it. His government has sent few troops, para-military to boot, to the region, and they have already suffered a casualty as they arrived and were greeted by automatic fire.
Obama, who also must have been absent from his history class that day at Harvard, maybe the cocaine party the night before wore him out, appears to be one to also favor appeasement of the enemy, as the Liberal mantra is to apologize so that they will like us.
As of Friday, April 24, the Pakistani government was able to gain a withdrawal from the Taliban forces from the Buner province, allowing for a breath of relief, but is the issue really solved?
No it is not. In my opinion, based on history, the April 22-23 move on the part of the Taliban was only a probe. The real intent was to check the strength and readiness of the Pakistani military and to gage the reaction of the population. Thankfully, the Pakistani government was able to address the issue quickly, although the substance of the reaction, meaning the size and type of force deployed, was minimal. From a military prospective, Pakistani leadership may have been correct, as a large force might have trigger direct and escalating confrontation, but at the same time I believe that the Taliban mentality is one that understands only pure and unmitigated force. The reaction of the Pakistani government only delayed what I believe is inevitable under the current situation, and that is that eventually the Taliban will go on the offensive again, this time in a crushing manner.
As far as the reaction of the population, I believe the Taliban scored a major victory, as they were able to cower the population into a state of fear and submission, clearly demonstrating that when they will decide to actually go on the offensive, and I am sure that will happen very soon, they will expect a abysmal resistance from the people, be it because they agree with the Taliban ideology or they are just terrified.
Whatever the case may be, the events in that volatile region demonstrate that appeasement is the sure road to major confrontation, the IF no longer in question, only the WHEN.
And these are my thoughts!

The current president of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari has just signed an agreement that would allow the Taliban to take control of the Swat Province, installing Sharia law. Appeasing the terrorists was designed to stem the militants’ goal of taking over the entire country. The effects, instead, appear to be opposite as the Taliban forces are now moving south into the Buner Province, located approximately 60 miles north of Islamabad, the nation’s capital.
These terrorists were the so-called ‘moderates’ during the negotiations that they conducted with the Pakistani government, negotiations that brought the Swat Province to become a heaven for those who like beheadings and floggings.
The situation is, according to Pakistani military officials not as dire as it appears, that the terrorists have only control of 25% of the province of Buner and that the Pakistani Military is in control of the situation. What a relief. Because America should be reassured about anything coming from the Pakistani military, a really trustworthy organization, right? And even giving the benefit of the doubt, how can anyone state that all is under control is a quarter of the province is in the hands of the enemy?
As a contrast, other officials from the area are telling of Taliban militants establishing road blocks, moving around public markets telling people to embrace Sharia Law. They are broadcasting Islamic religious verses on the local radios and have been going around music stores ordering them to stop selling music.
The reality is that the situation is realistically dangerous for many reasons.
For starter, these terrorists are only 60 miles away from two Pakistani military bases, near the country’s capital, where nuclear weapons are stored. Are these weapons secured? Can Zardari guarantee that they will not fall into terrorist hands? Does the US have a contingency plan for such an event, besides offering an apology?
On the same subject, these weapons may be guarded by military personnel already sympathizing with the Islamic extremists, which would create a severe problem for the Islamabad government to secure the weapons if the militants would continue to move toward the capital.

The Hell With Justice
Exactly! The hell with justice, as it has been taken hostage by the activist judges across the country and the attorneys from the Justice Department.
On 23 April, a federal appeal court dismissed the law suit brought against the emeritus John Murtha by the remaining US Marine still under investigation for the now debunked Haditha massacre. Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich has filed a suit against the Pennsylvania politician for defamation and slander, but the federal judge stated that Murtha cannot be held liable for the slanderous words he used toward the Marines in question, because at the time of his remarks he was acting in his lawmaker official capacity, therefore he is covered by congressional immunity.
Similarly, Murtha’s layer and the DOJ attorney are calling for the dismissal of another Marine’s, Justin Sharratt, law suit against the windbag from PA on identical grounds.
The legal suits were leveled against Murtha for the congressman’s remarks when he accused Wuterich and another seven Marines of having perpetrated murder against Iraqi civilians in 2005 in cold blood. Of the eight Marines against which criminal Military charges were brought, Wuterich is the only one that still has manslaughter charges pending, as all the other have been cleared of the charges in one way or another.
So my thinking now is that there is a need to change the law that allows elected official to do and say anything they please for political gain to do so with total impunity.
It has been years since the proceeding against these Marines were initiated, and they and their families have been put through a ringer of accusations, innuendos, prison and humiliation. To have a congressman come out and level those kinds of accusations even before the legal proceeding had even started can surely be described as a shocking state of affair. And the scumbag from Pennsylvania was a Marine on top of it!
It is a disgusting show of political favoritism if I ever seen one, but considering the unashamed way the Liberals in Washington are abusing their power and their positions, from Obama down to the last administration leech, I cannot say I am really surprised. It was just to be expected.
As America witnesses this, and of course not much is going to be shown by the MSM, we can be sure that the rampant, activist Liberal judicial system is going to change America even more, all the way to the Supreme Court.
This is a very scary time for our country, as it appears that the statue of Justice is loosing its blinders, at least the part covering her Left eye.
It is positive that the Marines falsely accused had the charges dropped, and hopefully even the charges against Wuterich will follow the same course, but it is disgusting that the federal judicial system is so openly politically corrupted that it will not take the just side of some of America’s bravest against a pompous, crooked, malignant piece of soiled dirt congressman.
This is not right!

Abusing Words
There are some words in the English language that have a tone of gravity attached to them which makes them very dramatic as they are used in everyday conversation. By the same measure, there are situations when these words are used so often and in an erroneous context that their value is diminished and their impact is greatly tempered. Some of these words, and the ones that mostly trigger my reaction, are hero and, especially these days, torture.
When following the 9-11-01 attack against the United States, and the US Military begun to hunt for the masterminds behind the attacks, several Taliban and al-Qaeda combatants were captured while fighting our troops in that wasteland called Afghanistan. These enemy combatants were transported to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and imprisoned.
President Bush at the time was faced by probably the worst security breech that any US president ever had, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt. On one side he had 3,000+ dead American civilians, the almost certainty that additional attacks were going to be launched against the country and a devastated intelligence community that had been completely blindsided. I am convinced to this day that our intelligence gathering capabilities and capacity had been reduced enough that nobody involved was able to put any of the hints together to see the general threat. On the other side, President Bush had to insure that the civil rights of the American people would not become additional victims of our enemies. This was most trying for our institutions, because as the investigation on the 19 terrorists became more clear and the pieces of the puzzle started coming together, the large number of Middle Easterners residing in America, posed a potential risk of civil right abuse.
In the meanwhile, some of those enemy combatants captured on the battlefields of Afghanistan, could have knowledge of upcoming attacks against our Nation, so enhanced interrogations were employed to find out.
Initially, the anti-American forces on our soil timidly spoke out against things like profiling and eventually begun to address the interrogations of these terrorists as “tortures”.
Torture, in my mind, is a very serious term as it applies to interrogation, because it involves the infliction of extreme pain and suffering to someone who is bound, imprisoned and incapable of defending himself. The problem for me is the abuse of the term.
Between the more than humane treatment used against the prisoners in Guantanamo and the farce that Abu Graib was, every time a Liberal calls something “torture” I have a chuckle.
I can still remember the words of the senator from Illinois Dick Durbin comparing the events in the Iraqi prison to the Nazi tortures and the Soviet Gulags, and I can still remember my reaction to that hyperbolic parallel. What came to my mind is some of the numerous readings I did regarding the Gestapo treatment of French Resistance prisoners and I felt enraged by the comparison of the actions of a small group of criminal US soldiers, as despicable as they were, to the chronic application of sadistic procedures that the Nazi employed or the Japanese employed on allied prisoners or the Vietcong employed against our captured troops in Vietnam.
And yet, for months after the Abu Graib incident, Sen. Ted Kennedy continued to carry the infamous pictures in his pocket, hunting for any available Media camera, which appeared to always be available, ready to flick the pictures out. And all this was for ultimate political gain, regardless of any damage that such actions could bring to the hundreds of thousands of honorable service men and women serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. Using the action of few bad characters to qualify the multitude of our Military so to attack the President, was the Left way to “dissent”, to be patriotic, to enhance American moral standing.
The continuous abuse of the word “torture” as it applies to the interrogation of enemy combatants in Gitmo, dramatically lowered the intensity of the meaning of the word in my mind. Ironically, as our troops moved across Iraq, they discovered real torture chambers that Saddam Hussein, and his miscreant sons, had institutionalized in their maintenance of power and just for kicks.
So what is “torture” as defined by the Liberal nutcases today? Well, the now famous waterboarding where water is poured on the face of the subject giving him the sensation of drowning. This practice has been applied for few seconds at the time, with medical personnel at the ready in case it was needed. Lets compare this watery “torture” to a Nazi interrogation technique that also involved water: a garden hose was inserted in the rectum of the subject, who was bound hands and feet and made to lay naked on the floor of a room, then the water would be turned on, causing the subject to slowly fill with water, swell up and die a horrendously painful death and that regardless if he talked or not. This treatment was also applied to women.
So much for comparison with Nazi tortures, senator Dick Durbin!
Another “torture, as defined by the power hungry Liberals, is to forcing the subject to stand for long periods of time. I guess no Liberal ever heard of the Bataan Death March of April 1942.
After the fall of Bataan, approximately 100,000 allied and Filipino prisoners were taken by the Japanese captors on a forced march from Bataan to Camp O’Donnell in suffocating tropical heat. The prisoners had surrendered because of lack of food, medicine and ammunitions, so by the time the Japanese took possession of them they were already sick and starved. Of the total number of prisoners, only about 57,000 actually reached Camp O’Donnell. The rest died of malaria, starvation or the bayonet of practicing Japanese soldiers. The captors particularly enjoyed stopping and drinking water in front of the thirsty prisoners not allowing them to have any. At times the prisoners would be so crazed with thirst that they would leave their ranks and go to the water, only to be either bayoneted or beheaded with Jap swords. Locals along the route of the march who would be moved by the suffering of the prisoners and attempt to bring some water to them would receive the same treatment.
See, Liberal Nutcases, that’s torture.
When the enemies of America use the word “torture” ad nauseam just to achieve political gain, all they achieve in my mind is the total diminishing of the real meaning of the term. If the decision to stop the enhanced interrogations of the Gitmo prisoners is reached, so be it, but I would really prefer if these techniques would be addressed as what they are: interrogations, not torture, so that the American people will be able to get the proper prospective on our real enemy (not the US Military as Napolitano tells us, but the Islamic terrorists) and its methodology of disembowelment, throat slashing, castration and the stuffing of the removed parts in the mouth of the prisoner (trick al-Qaeda learnt from the Vietcong) and ultimately beheading.
Comparison? Caterpillar-in-the-box vs. being immersed for days in an excrement pit with rats swimming around (another Vietcong favorite).
Body slamming against a padded wall as neck is protected by a brace vs. slowly lowering a prisoner into a wood chipper feet first (Uday Hussein favorite punishment for contractors late on finishing their construction work).
Sorry, but I do not feel the world deserves an apology from America for abandoning its moral grounds. The only person that needs to apologize for abandoning his moral values is Obama to the American people, for defaulting on his constitutional duty to safeguard the American people and the American institutions in the manner the US Constitution dictates him to, for the sole purpose of satisfying the agenda of his Leftist fringe.
Of course what would constitute real torture would be to have a redundant recording of Nancy Pelosi laughing and speaking, and forcing the viewing of her face, but that would really be cruel punishment.
And these are my thoughts!
