Read his remarks for yourself: “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.”
Pol-Pot?! Pol-Pot was responsible for killing more people per capita than Mao! Don’t believe me, well then, read this, “On a per capita basis the Khmer Rouge "revolution" is easily the deadliest in modern
It is so nice to know the good Senator thinks so highly of the men and women dedicating their lives to the protection of our country. The media constantly cries about the prisoners held up in Gitmo. What about the soldiers? Do you honestly think they would rather be in Cuba of all places having to extract information from people that want Americans dead?
No! They want to be home in the good ole’ U.S. of A. enjoying a fine summer, seeing their family, and having barbecues. Only they can’t—they have to spend their time surrounded by terrorists. They have to spend their time with those people who want to see American families dead. They have to attempt extracting information from people who would rather die than betray the goals of their holy crusade. And they do it to keep this country safe.
Are they thanked? Are they rewarded for their sacrifices? No! These patriotic souls get called Nazis. Sen. Durbin really does our nation pride. A few weeks ago the Democrats harped on Republicans for wanting to bypass the intention of the Constitution to insure free debate and ultimately destroy the Senate. However, do you really think the framers of the Constitution intended the Senate floor to be a platform for soldier bashing and treasonous speech?
Yes, I said treasonous. Perhaps the Senator should consider changing his last name to turban, because it seems like he’s on their side more than ours. Why do I say that? Just check out Al-Jazeera online.
That’s right! The first line people who hate the U.S.A. will read is, “A US senator has refused to apologise for comparing the actions of US soldiers at Guantanamo Bay to those of Nazis.”
Can you see it now? The shock. The horror. The indignation welling up in some insurgent’s face, “I knew it!” he’ll exclaim—right before loading a new cartridge into his rifle and tromping off to snipe some American boys—feeling fully justified the entire time. Why? Because a United States Senator said they’re Nazis and who isn’t just in ridding their land of Nazis? Good one Dick.
It’s about time our elected representatives remember just that—that they’re representatives of the people—the people of the U.S. and not the people who want to see our country destroyed. Our tax dollars pay them a very nice salary with very nice benefits—much better than most of us will ever see. I am sick of paying for that kind of garbage to be spewed on the hallowed floors of our Senate.
We need to begin holding our representatives accountable. Forget ignoring the situation simply because you do not live in that Senator’s state. The Senate makes decisions that affect the entire country and as such it is the entire country’s duty to let them know when they have crossed a line.
I suggest every patriotic, red, white, and blue spirited American email Sen. Durbin and let him know that what he said was an immoral desecration of our Senate. However, do so with tact, intelligence, and civility, i.e. everything lacking from the Senator’s remarks.
