Republicans Still Love Them Some Torture

December 14th, 2007 by Steve

Specifically by threatening to veto this bill, President Bush has indicated that he’s favoring these actions:

“forcing detainees to be naked, perform sexual acts, or pose in a sexual manner; placing hoods or sacks over detainees’ heads or duct tape over their eyes; beating, shocking, or burning detainees; threatening them with military dogs; exposing them to extreme heat or cold; conducting mock executions; depriving them of food, water, or medical care; and waterboarding.”

Stuff like this just makes me want to be one of them thar “Compassionate Conservatives.”

   It depends on how the definition of torture is tortured.

   Well, you may get your wish Stevie boy. Cause we Republicans are about to nominate a true Compassionate Conservative from Arkie-sas.

   If the Huckster wins the Presidency, we’ll be treating terrorists like they were guests at the Taj Mahal. Three square meals a day, with two different entrees to choose from. Cable TV complete with 3 different Porn channels, including the “72 Virgins” station. And of course, fur-coverend floor mats for their daily prayer.

   Let’s not treat our captured terrorists like the Japanese treated American soliders in WWII.

   Nah, better to coddle them, give them everything they want, and maybe even wash their feet.

   Isn’t that what you “compassionate Libertarians” want Stephen?

   Alas, these are the type of people Stephen Gordon and his Anti-War Libertarian buddies want to coddle, comfort and cackle about their “human rights”:

   MARDAN, Pakistan — The bomb that ravaged Benazir Bhutto’s homecoming processional in October appears to have been rigged to the clothes of a baby who was held up for the former prime minister to embrace, Mrs. Bhutto said. A man approached her armored truck, Mrs. Bhutto recounted, and was trying to hand across a small child as her motorcade inched through the thronged streets of Karachi. She remembers gesturing for the man to come closer.

   “It was about 1 or 2 years old, and I think it was a girl,” Mrs. Bhutto told The Washington Times in her first public remarks about the baby…Mrs. Bhutto would have been killed, she said, if she hadn’t stepped back to loosen the shoes on her swollen feet.

   “The baby, the bomb, it went off only feet from me; there was nothing between us but the wall of the truck,” she said.

   One wonders if Stephen Gordon wants to fit the bill for all the comforts of terrorists through taxpayer monies?

   Hey Stephen, do you wish to force me to pay for Cable TV and fur-lined cots for Terrorists, through my tax dollars?

   How’s that libertarian?

   Got a novel idea. How ’bout your pay for all their enemnities, and leave us real libertarians out of the equation.

   You shouldn’t force other taxpayers to fund your idiotic comforts for terororist prisoners.

   Stephen Gordon is a Military Vet. He ought to know better.

   He should know that we Navy guys were forced to sit in a gas chamber down at Gitmo for 10 minutes as part of our training. The last 2 minutes we had to take our gas masks off.

   If it’s good enough for Military recruits, it’s damn sure good enough for terrorists.

   And what of push-ups? Standing for an hour? Heavy Metal music? Is that considered “torture” too?

   […] Final note: I still find it ironic that the party of “Compassionate Conservatism” and supposed Christian values actively supports torture. […]
