I’m just sick and fucking tired of seeing whiny liberals cry about it. I am rather liberal, and I hate the fact that people have made the term an insult because soft-headed, chickenshit naive idealist “liberals” glom onto causes like abuse at Gauntanomo as though it were the central issue in the war on terror.

The Iraq prison abuse is disgusting. Those people don’t deserve to be treated as they were.

But the Afghanis who fought with the Taliban or AQ deserve every cruel and unusual form of punishment we can dream up and inflict. We shouldn’t torture them, but I’m not going to stand up and cry about it. Its pretty fucking low on my to do list, which is right where it belongs.

There’s also an element of caveat emptor at work here... If you fight for the Taliban or AQ - if you believe its OK to murder women in soccer stadiums for adultery - You’re taking a huge goddamn risk of having someone who doesn’t agree with such noxious behavior placing a bullet in your head. Lay down with dogs... etc...

These bleeding hearts would go a lot further, and get some respect, if they’d acknowledge that this country isn’t always wrong, and they’d show some sympathy for Americans who died on 9/1, rather than knee-jerking into the argument about how our foreign policy caused the attack. They need to have equal sympathy for their countrymen.

2, again.
