Do you believe in torture?

If you answered yes to that question then you condone the torture of American soldiers. When we show the world that we are willing to torture their people we should be ready for them to reciprocate.

I am a conservative, but I am against torture. Not because it's immoral. Not because it's allegedly ineffective (i believe it is very effective). But I am totally against it because it's an easy way out - short term gain for long term pain. By torturing one's enemies, we might get some valuable information, but so what ? Any short-term advantage (finding out about a ticking nuclear bomb, or a terrorist plot in-progress) that might save a few lives, will be offset by the huge DISADVANTAGE of preventing the terrorists from killing innocent people. Let me explain - a terrorist who fails to kill isn't really a criminal. If we arrest him, there will always be suspicion that he isn't really guilty. A government arresting such a terrorist can be accused of overreacting (or framing an innocent). The public opinion might even feel sorry for the terrorist-to-be. But if we let the terrorist act, if we let him kill innocent peoples, then the wrath of the public opinion will turn against the terrorist. The people will demand blood. They will vote for conservative, law-and-order politicians. Bleeding-heart liberals will be accused of betraying their country. You want proof? I've got the proof! Remember 911? Everybody was screaming bloody murder, Bush's approval ratings were in the 90%. Liberals were hiding under rocks. But in the aftermath of the Iraqi War, when no WMD were found, when Saddam was captured before he could do anything nasty, the public opinion turned against Bush. He went too far! He overracted!

I wish Bush didn't invade Iraq. I wish Saddam would send terrorists to blow up a city in America. Then, after the attack, Americans would wake, act like men and defend themselves. And elect a president that would make Bush look like a pussy.

GOP Scandals

Evidence is trickling in every day highlighting the corruption deeply ingrained in the Republican party. Prominent party leaders and many of their underlings have their panties in a wad trying to decide whether to lie to the various courts of inquiry they are facing. Jack Abramoff is trying to decide who or what to give up. Testify truthfully about his dealings with Tom DeLay, or lose his freedom on perjury charges. Even the indominable Dick Cheney has to be worried about the consequences of his actions, perhaps for the first time in his life. Just wait and see what happens when the truth comes out about our torturing practices. You can't change established law on a whim. With republicans in charge, America is losing the respect of the civilized world.

911 trumped ?

Hurricane Katrina's aftermath keeps getting worse. More people are beginning to talk about body's lying around. Imagine the destruction if all those people had not evacuated. It seems that Bush was shaken by the looters, no doubt he stayed up all night watching Fox news. No he goes to bed before 9 even while he's on vacation. All 350 days of it. His work ethic is underwhelming much like the rest of him, he obviously didn't get where he has by merit. Mediocre is not lame enough to define his presidency but with a disaster not completely his fault to take the heat off of his war,he can now go back on vacation.I personally like his statement saying " if you don't need gas don't buy it" spoken like a person who never paid to fill up his own tank, ever. How did such a weenie ever get such a strong following? His supporters are adamant they don't care what he does or doesn't do they wholeheartedly support him. Its kinda creepy if you think about it. ...

Tucker=sucker

Sometimes I watch Tucker Carlson just to laugh at his "insight".Today he and some other toadies were trying to scare the people at home by alluding to the horrors of a Hillary presidency. "W" has set the bar very low. He proved that any old pimp or stooge or slacker can be the President of these divided states. Sometimes its obvious Tucker don't believe the things he claims and that is lowdown. Feigning ignorance to lead the truly ignorant is the height of hypocrisy.
