What's Torture, Stupid?

Seems to me that Americans are burned out on politics after decades of liberal torture. We're tortured by tortured explanations, tortured definitions, and tortured deceptions to prevent us from learning what liberals really think about the constitution, rights for murderers and terrorists, and especially a hate for competitive private enterprise.

The "Happy" news is that the people hear, probably for the first time ever, liberals openly demand that we must extend extra constitutional protections and privileges to foreign terrorists, tyrants, and despots, as liberal courts drape uber-constitutional protections and privileges around our citizen felons and murderers.

The issue is the "
world court" believes that extracting information from a person without their consent is torture. This opinion flows from the Geneva Convention's Article 3 "(c) Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment." So any effort, overt or covert, to confuse, tire, trick, or otherwise force an "unlawful combatant," a usually armed fighter out of uniform, to divulge secret information about their organization and its members they say is torture. Americans say otherwise.

Seems that Americans almost always think and believe other than the 'world.' Why I ask? The answer is simple. The 'world,' meaning other industrialized nations, is founded on a secular socialist or mostly Islamist political infrastructure. It's a world of "foreign values, foreign morals, and foreign ethics." It's these values and the 'world view' they represent that American liberals embrace. It's these values and the 'world view' they represent that the American majority soundly rejects.

American values are indisputably Judeo-Christian in touch and feel. American values encourage freedoms, choices, and equal opportunities that the 'world view' dismisses. Americans know right from wrong. The 'world view' says right or wrong are shaped daily by consensus. Clinton's bombing civilian targets in Yugoslavia, a UN member nation, without UN support was "legal," "proper," and even "moral," because he sought and got general 'world view' consensus. President Bush acts within American laws, values, and morals. Yet Democrats, liberals, and the "world view" is that he is a war criminal. Why? Because he didn't get their "consensus (approval)" before acting.


So it goes for torture. Torture is whatever the 'world view' feels it is. All that is required to redefine torture is to gain consensus. Just convince your neighbors that a killing or raping is moral because the "bitch" had it coming. Get a free pass from the law. Convince 300 plus mayors that there is global warming, and by definition IT IS.! Convince the 'world view' that pressuring terrorists to talk is torture, and bada bing, IT IS.

Not in America. Not now and not ever.
