A corruption in the Senate

Dick Durbin, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, said the following on the floor of the US Senate:
"If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime -- Pol Pot or others -- that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners."

He said this after talking about things like the air-condition being turned off and on in Gitmo prison cells and rap music being played all day. Please please remember that Gitmo is where we are housing those most vile of terrorists who supported the Taliban and were a part of Al-Qaeda. In other words these prisoners are the people who killed 3,000 Americans less than four years ago.

This embarrassment of a Senator has compared our troops and what they do to "the Nazis, the Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime" like Pol Pot. The Senator refuses to apologize.

Our troops in Iraq are daily wearing body armor in the 130 degree heat. And a small collection of the most despicable human beings to ever grace the planet--people who think it's their religious duty to kill any Christian and Jew they can--sometimes go without air condition in Cuba so they'll be more inclined to give up valuable information that can save more American lives and this Democrat is going to put that on the same level as the gassings in the concetration camp? On the same level as the ruthless Soviet regime? On the same level as the unfathomable slaughter under Pol Pot?

Dick Durbin has revealed the true nature of the Democratic party. Democrats do not stand for America. They hate Bush more than they love their country. They are not concerned with the security of America (otherwise, forcing a terrorist to listen to rap music so that he will give up information wouldn't be so problematic--and certainly not contrued to be of moral equivalence to the systematic campaign in Germany to exterminate an entire race of people). They certainly don't respect those men and women putting their lives on the line serving this country (comparing them to the Nazis is proof enough of that). Dick Durbin makes me ashamed to be an American. He makes me ashamed to live under his authority. He makes me think that we as a country do not deserve to win this war on terrorism. If he's so willing to put his hatred of Bush and his thirst for power above the security of this country how can we say that we learned anything from 9-11 about the threat that we face from Islamic radicals? Were this country to ever elect to the Presidency someone with his ideas of how a country should conduct itself in a war against those hell-bent on destroying it, then we would be exposed to attack and destruction in such a way that we have never known.

I know for a fact that our enemies see our weaknesses far more clearly than we do.

And look how Al-Jeezera is happy with Durbin: US senator stands by Nazi remark
