This Space for Rent

Evil Party moral values (pt 10)

Where did this happen?

On a couple of occasions, I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food or water. Most times they urinated or defecated on themselves, and had been left there for 18-24 hours or more. On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold....On another occasion, the [air conditioner] had been turned off, making the temperature in the unventilated room well over 100 degrees. The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor, with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his hair out throughout the night. On another occasion, not only was the temperature unbearably hot, but extremely loud rap music was being played in the room, and had been since the day before, with the detainee chained hand and foot in the fetal position on the tile floor.

Germany, c. 1936-1945
The USSR, c. 1920-1990
Vietnam, late 1970s
The United States of America, during the regime of the B*sh junta

Choice #4 should not even be there. The saying used to be We're the United States of America and we don't do that kind of shit!. What changed? Oh, yes, that's right, the self-proclaimed grownups overthrew the government of the United States and installed Maximum Leader Genius instead, and now the offense against G-d and decency is not torturing people, oh, no, it's now objecting to torture.

Just like it was in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

And I see now Durbin has apologized for his comments... tearfully. WTF!?!

A friend has written me this evening that he's abandoned his blog out of a sense of futility.

I am only angrier by the hour.

Not that I disagree so much with my friend about the futility, but perhaps I need to return to the blog just to yell at these spiritual pornographers and the voyeurs who buy what they sell.

We'll see.

It depends on how much more seething She Who Loves Me can put up with...

Well, I would dance my little happy dance if you started posting again. So you can count that as a vote of support.
