This cartoon is an abomination. Any American who looks at this sketch done by a crackpot anti-war cartoonist and finds it suitable, needs to go out and sing a few verses of the Star Spangled Banner. If, in the fervor of political aspirations you have forgotten how to be an American, don’t dump on the rest of us who love our country. Our leaders do not torture. They lead. That is what we elected them to do. All the leftist claptrap can’t change that.

An abomination is what this administration has done to our country. We used to be the one country in the world that actually stood for something - human rights (no torture) was one of those things we used to champion. No more … now we are the country to busy to make a dollar to care what happens to the people we hold as prisoners. You fail to recognize that there is a large majority of the country that now see through Shrub’s lies - these folks took us to war over mis-reading intelligence reports. Taking shots at a reprenhsible practice (torture) is about as American as anything I think of. Someone please give shrub a blow job so we can impeach him!

As for being American, obviously you don’t know what it means. Americans like to complain, argue, and talk trash. That’s the American way. Harmonious doesn’t exist here, and who wants to have a huge kumbaya and sing holding hands? Is this the sixties?

I like the fact that I can call you a conservative, feeble-minded, dillwad, and know that it’s okay.

So get over yourself, and shut up the left/right argument. It is just as old as you say the “leftist claptrap” stuff. You sound like a broken record. “This cartoon is a disgrace.” “This cartoon hurts me.” “This cartoon is Un-American.”

I’m assuming the jist of this cartoon is that Cheney is responsible for the tortue of innocent persons. I haven’t read anywhere that this has been proven as fact, but it’s good to know that the crack journalism team at AJC has unearthed this fact.

Nothing new from Luckovich, a Ted Rall wanna-be.

It’s a pity that it took seven messages before someone spouted the dreaded word “Haliburton”, and then mis-spelled it. Word must not be out at Kos or DU yet.

Subscriptions and readership at the AJC, along with so many other metro newspapers, are down month after month, and yet people wonder why.

It’s been a long time since newspapers reported fact without filtering it through their agenda filters. Luckovich’s appeal, as always, is only towards the Left, not to the whole of the AJC readership. That’s why I like Jim Borgman at the Cincinnati Enquirer much better. http://borgman.enquirer.com/

It is ironic that the metro Atlanta area is growing rapidly and the AJC’s circulation is decreasing (for you libs that is an inverse statistical relationship). But, big papers such as the NYT LAT and WP are also declining. Reasons are numerous: The AJC is a rag; people can get news from other sources; and the public’s apathy is frightening.
And Cynthia McKinney is a disgrace, but, for you right-wingers who would you rather have representing the leftists? An Ivy League trained attorney such as Majette, or an anti-American, psychotic, babbling lunatic such as McKinney? You are never going to win that district, so, let McKinney be the public face of the leftists.

sf, I was not comparing Majette to Cynthia Mc. My posts have been directed at what I consider hypocrisy on leftist’s positions, however, let’s take a look at the Bush administration’s domestic policy. As an economic conservative I give Bush a D+. He cut taxes HOORAY! but his spending on non-defense items is outrageous. All things being considered equal, he has increased govt spending 400% more than Prez Clinton, and only 1/4 of that can be attributed to the war on terror. He is the only prez who at this jncture of a four year term has yet to veto a bill. He also took an oath to uphold the Constitution, stated the hideous campaign finance bill, McCain-Feingold, was unconstitutional, but signed it anyway. His No Child Left Behind Act is one of the worst pieces of legislation in recent history. Finally, he is politically naive. He tried to be nicey-nice to leftists like Teddy Kennedy and extended the olive branch and TK proceeded to whip the hell out of him with said branch. He needs to fight the good fight, but seems to lack the will.

Here is what I don’t understand about the left’s arguement. I think we can all agree that the pre-war intel was bad. You will get no arguement from me on that. To say that you want to impeach Bush means that you believe he knew the intel was bad and lied about it. To me that is a large leap of faith. As we have noted before, people from both sides stated Saddam had WMD’s. Other countries stated this as well. Clinton bombed Iraq on this beleif. I don’t think any president would intentionally lie to the American public on purpose to go to war. I know that many of you think the Bush is an evil person out to help his friends, but I just don’t see it. I think when historians look back on the Bush era it will be viewed much like LBJ’s. The war will be a huge blot on his record, even if it does succeed in the end. As for LBJ, does anyone remember how the Gulf of Tonkin was overhyped in order to get more troops into Vietnam?

Do not compare me to that evil agent of Satan. That bald musician suckles at the teats of evil.

I am a God fearing, God loving, Sanctified in the Blood of the Lamb man.

I love the Lord. I support our President. Our Vice President is a godly man who deserves our support and our prayers.

This “cartoon” belittles our beloved Vice President because he does not want to subscribe to McCain’s amendment making it illegal to torture.

IT’S ALREADY ILLEGAL!!

Our truthsome President said it yesterday.

All the Vice President wants to do is exempt the CIA from the amendment so that, if neccessary sometime in the future, the CIA can do God’s work and extract Satan’s plans from his agents on earth.

God supports the CIAs rights to fight terrorists.

If you are against the Vice President, you are against God.

And between we were no closer to winning the war the day Ike sent the troops and the day Tricky Dick finally withdrew them. Read a little history.

Ronnie, you have fallen for the revionist history written about Vietnam. Yes while Eisenhower did send troops in the 50’s that was to help our friends the French who were losing another war. The numbers didn’t grow significantly until Johnson came into office and started micromanaging the war, including stopping the bombing of North Vietnam, which if you ask any military historian was a major mistake. Nixon withdrew the troops becuase support at home had so eroded during LBJ’s presidency that he didn’t have a choice. If we had waged total war and continued to bomb North Vietname the entire time we could have won the war.

Due respect to all, but we can’t act as if we are facing a civilized foe. Torture, war and violence are not the desired responses in any instance, and resorting to them is not something we should take lightly. But we are not engaged in a political battle for hearts and minds; we are engaged in a battle for survival against a zealous foe willing to die, in large numbers, to vanquish us. In such a scenario, all options must remain on the table. Do you want to die at the hands of terrorists with a clear conscience, or do you want to kill them first?

A MOBY is someone that poses as a Republican when calling talk shows or posting on blogs.

If it is a conservative audience they will spread nasty rumors about some Republican, usually saying something like “The party I have belonged to all my life is really starting to disappoint me”.

When they go on a mixed forum, like here, they will try to play the most obnoxious sterotype liberals can think of for conservatives.

Congratulations to SteveSC; He is the first lib to bring anything but sputtering rage to this debate. Your contribution to this blog is greatly appreciated.

Don’t fool yourself about the torture of Nazis and Japanese. The media that followed the troops in WWII was very loyal to their country and respected our troops and their mission. They understood that war is hell but the survival of the United States of America trumped all other considerations. They didn’t run to the TV studio with the first controversial film clip they found, like the pinkos calling themselves reporters do today. Unfortunately, we now have to set limits for our troops, “tying one hand behind their back,” so that the libs won’t get them prosecuted for war crimes.

After the left has been so up in arms about Valerie Plame, you think that would be upset about secert prisons being made public too. But that is probably part of the double standard. Hopefully someone will get indicted for that breach of national security. There has been no proof of torture being condoned by this administration.

To me there is a difference in the use of coercion for intelligence gathering purposes and the use of it as strictly a punitive measure or retribution. Good intelligence can save lives and I can agree that coercion can be justified for that purpose. I will say that psychological coercion is much more effective in producing desirable results. Physical coercion can result in someone saying anything that will get it stopped…true or not.

The use of coercion for punishment or retribution is generally counterproductive. Some of the things things that I saw during the Salvadoran Civil War bothers me to this day.
