Waterboarding isn’t torture.

mommy12 – you never really have anything to say about the subject of a thread. Why is that? Is it because your 12 year old brain is not advanced enough for critical thinking?

This article is about the Surgeon General and his reports. I suggested that rather than blocking these reports as he is entitled to do, he should have just sh!t-canned this moron and saved us taxpayers $150k.

One more worthless , scummy chimp crony, no surprises here.

This Administration is like a shit sandwich, with every bite gets worse.

And worse.

just completely shocked me.

naw – I think the 12 is it’s IQ

No, I think it goes much deeper than that; it shows that BushCo has no desire to support any program that is not directly in support of their major constituents, oil, military contractors and the NeoCon agenda.

There is no humanity, no compassion, no concern, as their mantra is: “I got mine, Cheney you!”

It will take the new Dem folks a long time to clean the Repug shit streaks out of the toilet after the “big Flush” in 08!

WATERBOARDING:

Waterboarding is a type of torture used in coercive interrogations or for punishment. The modern form of the practice simulates drowning and produces a severe gag reflex, making the subject believe his or her death is imminent while ideally not causing permanent physical damage.

TORTURE:

The word torture is commonly used to mean the infliction of pain to break the will of the victim or victims. Any act by which severe pain, whether physical or psychological, is intentionally inflicted on a person as a means of intimidation, deterrence, revenge, punishment, sadism, information gathering, or to obtain false confessions for propaganda or political purposes may be called torture.

ORWELLIAN:

The term “Orwellian” usually refers to one or more of the following:

Manipulation of language for political ends. Most significantly by introducing to words meanings in opposition to their denotative meanings.

Invasion by the state of personal privacy, whether physically or by means of surveillance.

The total control of daily life by the state, as in a “Big Brother” society.

Active encouragement by the state of “doublethink,” whereby the population must learn to embrace inconsistent concepts without dissent.

The denial or rewriting of past events.

I disagree, I think it stands for “MommyAge12″, meaning mommy’s boy who is 12. I call him mommy12.

What I don’t understand, though, is why the civil servants in these departments don’t blow the whistle on Bush and Company. I know that they are afraid of retribution and losing their jobs, but there surely must be a couple of people who would put the health of their country over their jobs.

It’s all too frightening. It’s sounding like Hitler’s Germany more and more every day.

I left some thoughts about your doctor analogy on yesterday’s Supreme Court thread. I would like it if you could check it out and maybe leave a response.

I just got home from work and I’m going to bed, so I won’t be able to get back to you for a while.

Have a fun day driving us libruls nuts.

The following is from an article by Ron Suskind:

The aide said that guys like me were ”in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who ”believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ”That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued.

”We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

THE ARROGANCE IS OVERWHELMING

“Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.”
– Franklin D. Roosevelt

“The dissenter is every human being at those moments in life when one resigns momentarily from the herd and thinks for themselves.”
–Archibald Macleish

Rove has studied Goebbels and the nephew of Frued, Bernays, and come up with a way to sell fascism to unwitting US citizens. Please learn and protect yourself and your family and friends from Fascism.

Please see this quick video about HOW TO BRAINWASH A NATION.

In this seven-minute excerpt from “The Century of the Self” a four hour film series by Adam Curtis, you’ll get a quick lesson about how sophisticated the mass brainwashing of the American people has been and how long it’s been going on.

Propaganda NOW AND THEN by Gilles D’Amrey

BushCo. and Rove INNOCULATES the United States citizens against the words that describe them, rendering our language MEANINGLESS. 1984, Orwell.

“Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one’s self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.”

Michael Rivera

Clinton, to his great shame, did fire Ms. Elders. He fired her under pressure of the Republicans because of a remark she made about masturbation. The Republicans had just taken over Congress and Clinton was pressured to ask for her resignation. He should be ashamed of himself for caving to the Republicans.

And, since this article is not about the Surgeon General, your post is just another one of your “straw man arguments”.

Let’s not forget the other Bush Surgeon General was not allowed to attend the Special Olympics because the Kennedy family is involved in the Special Olympics.

Soviet. Simply f@ckin’ Soviet.
