tell the truth little boy…. you never even thought about the morality of torture until cheney announced that torture was OK, right?

They prattle whatever talking points their websites teach them. Earlier we saw one of his bedfellows using the trite routine of "praising with faint damnation" by referring to torture as, "three wet terrorists." Of course, the pretense that this web-site generated phrase covers our nation's entire trip down the torture hole is a lie; the pretense that the primary or only harm done by water-boarding is getting the victim wet is a lie (we executed japs for it); the pretense that there is a magical certainty pill that declares everyone strapped down, beaten, water boarded, sleep deprived, forced into homosexual acts, raped in American rape rooms, etc., etc., etc. - that declares each of these people were ACTUAL TERRORISTS - that was a lie; the pretense that there's a mystical, magical number of people a nation has to torture before it "really" reflects on them ("only" a "few"): THAT is a filthy, neocon talking point lie. But the guy prattling the lies? Oh, he was "against" torture - quite clear in his tisking of it (which preceded his effeminate piffling by less than a breath).

These progressive, big government poseurs want to suck in their guts and puff out their chests and bluff their best Frank Burns manhood impressions, currying favor with the guys in uniform - NEVER questioning ANYTHING done by a soldier. They have a fetish for executive authority and all of its accessories and adornments. But the cheapness of their manhood is manifest in their excuse-making for torture - their need for the nanny state to save them from fear like some helpless bitch tied to the tracks by Snidely Whiplash. It is only in a cartoon bubble reality that persons wishing their words to be seriously contemplated would ever venture to defend state torture - whether by outright endorsement or by the shabby dodge of using borrowed terminology tailored to minimize the crime and belittle the victims - accompanied by falsely pious "tisk-tisks" and, "I don't favor it - buts."
