THE TORTURE PREISDENT

I don’t have the words anymore, I used to but now I don’t. Our country is about to legalize the use of torture. From the shining city on the hill to the rack and waterboading. God in heaven I’m depressed beyond words. That we are even talking about this shows how depraved and fearful we have become. The beacon of light to the world has become just an empire that will attach electrodes to your private parts.

Because we are afraid.

We were never afraid before ever. Well the right was afraid of the Russians, more afraid than a sane person should be but now not just the wing nuts are scared. Official Washington is scared shitless. I remember when just for a moment it was thought a private plane was going to crash into the capitol building – they ran like panicked sheep – not one representative or Senator said “let them do their worst they will find me at my post.” Cowards the lot of them.

And torture doesn’t work – simply stated torture is good to get people to confess to things you want them to confess to, as far as supplying accurate information, women under torture during the witch trials confessed to flying on broomstick, casting spells and having sex with the devil.

We should be well and truly ashamed of ourselves.

Bin Ladden has scored his greatest victory. His attack has let this country to repudiate the very foundation it was built on – and a house without a foundation will fall. He must be laughing now.

Mark you calendars kids and note this in your diary – this is a red letter day in the fall of America. The men in suits in Washington led by the boy king are turning out the lights. The dark ages are here.
