What The Hell Have We Become?

If we continue to allow the people who authorized torture to escape prosecution, and act like we don't care that it even took place, we have to ask ourselves "what the hell have we become?" That's the question that Mike Papantonio asks in this week's fiery Pap Attack.

Anyone who wants to know how sick Cheney is you should read the book Transformation of America by Cathy O'Brien. Also did you know that many of the detainees are there because they were paying the public for turning people who were suspected terrorists. They are so poor over there that they would turn innocent people in.

Dick Cheney is just an S&M fetishist gone seriously overboard, I can't think of any other reason he'd defend that stuff.

Lets start at the very beginning, Bush began the War with Iraq on lies, Iraq had nothing to do with 911 or weapons of mass destruction so why are we holding detainees in the first place. If they were soldiers of Iraq then they obeyed orders to defend their Country from invaders being the US, etc. Bush and his Administration should be in prison for the deaths of all who died or were tortured because of the War he caused based on lies.

Didn't you know? Were not allowed to act like adults in America by acknowledging the bad things our country has done lately and throughout history. Try it sometime in public as I did in my political science class at college, see how many sighs and eye rolls you get. One of our biggest problems is that we have been conditioning everyone in our country for decades to not accept America's major flaws and hypocrisies without thinking of it as un-American, and now we completely sold out our morals.

No government on earth has been so blatantly hypocritical as the Bush administration. Claiming to be Christians, while orchastrating 911 and other attacks for self promotion, greed and power to create fear and lead thousands to die in wars for profit. If God doesn't rain fire on the US government and damn them all to hell, He must apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. The war on terror is a complete fraud. As long as the US refuses to confess its crimes and repent, how can they say God bless America?

I would think that even fewer people fax, which often costs much more money too, so they might pay even more attention to faxes than they do to snail mail. Or is it a pipe dream?

Snail mail may be slow, but it gets attention. Reps definitely pay attention to their mail.

[shoryuken77]

Ha! Excellent!

[DRMartin789]

I send at least one fax a week to Obama and my representatives about this issue. I don't mess around with emails, they don't get enough attention and snail mail is too slow.

As long as our country refuses to confess our crimes and repent, we have no honor and deserve no respect.
