6/16/05 Our Favorite Gulag Dick Durbin is quoted as having said some very interesting things on the Senate floor recently (I heard the comments played back on the Laura Ingraham Radio Show, and followed the same comments through the blogosphere). He was not the first to compare the detention facility for enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay to a Soviet gulag or a Nazi concentration camp, but as far as I know he is the first U.S. Senator to do so. Of course, at gulags and concentration camps people were starved and worked to death, not to mention tortured, mutilated, beaten, and summarily executed. At Gitmo, people who have information about other people who want to do those same things to all of us have to endure physical discomfort and emotional stress. That is, when they're not eating special religiously appropriate meals and reading from their private copies of the Qur'an (if you accidentally sneeze on one of those, it's a form of torture, if you ask most liberals like Durbin). I wonder if the Nazis served Kosher meals at Auschwitz. Durbin joins Amnesty International in the Hall of Fame of Complete and Utter Morons with No Notion of History or Proportionality (Not to Mention A Total Lack of Patriotism). Stalin and Hitler would laugh at our stress techniques. To put it another way, if Hitler and Stalin had treated innocent Jews and other minorities as well as we are treating child-slaying, hostage-beheading, car-bomb-building-and-delivering thugs, six million Jews would have walked away from WWII, and countless tens of millions of Soviet subjects would have survived that oppressive regime. Dick sees Khalid shivering. Dick cries. Why is Khalid shivering? Because Khalid knows the names of other people who know other people who could lead us closer to Osama bin Laden and active plots out there to kill our children in their schools, Dick. Because there are people out there, Dick, who have to do the tough and gritty work necessary to save us from the murderous thugs you think should be sleeping comfortably in warm beds, with visions of beheaded baby infidels dancing in their heads. Khalid is lucky he isn't bleeding, maimed, or tortured. Khalid should thank his lucky stars he's being interrogated by professionals who are following rules, because most of us out here would not be so scrupulous. Once we figure out that this guy wants to help other people kill our children, the gloves come off and he'll be lucky to survive. I guess the only American space for Khalid safer than Gitmo is in the well of the Senate during a Democratic filibuster. For most of our history, Dick, standing in the well of the senate and making factually inaccurate and outrageously distorted statements against the best interests, safety, and security of the American people during a time of war would have been construed as treason. You should be thankful that liberalism has successfully redefined patriotism as jingoism and loyalty as anti-American. You should be, because heaven knows I am not. As far as I am concerned, you are a traitor, Dick. Modified: 07/07/2005 |
