Waterboarding.............Why Not?

First, for those who don't know, waterboarding is is a form of torture that consists of immobilizing the victim on his or her back with the head inclined downwards, and then pouring water over the face and into the breathing passages. By forced suffocation and inhalation of water, the subject experiences drowning and is caused to believe they are about to die. It is considered a form of torture by legal experts, politicians, war veterans, intelligence officials, military judges, and human rights organizations. In contrast to submerging the head face-forward in water, waterboarding precipitates a gag reflex almost immediately. The technique does not inevitably cause lasting physical damage. It can cause extreme pain, dry drowning, damage to lungs, brain damage from oxygen deprivation.

There, I have given everyone the cause and effects. But, I ask you this........What is wrong with using a technique where the physical and mental outcome can't even compare to the physical and mental effects terrorists cause on citizens of Earth? I say there is nothing wrong with this technique. Hurting a few bad guys to save the millions of good guys is the right way about it.

When we train our military professionals on the art of survival, do you think we are nice and us a nice classroom setting? NO!!! We teach our military professionals what can happen if they get captured. This includes torture techniques we practice on our own military personal so that they know what to expect. This makes them stronger.

Finally. WE MUST DO WHAT WE CAN TO PROTECT THIS GREAT NATION FROM ANOTHER 9/11/2001!!! If it involves waterboarding........the so be it. By the way, thanks to Wikipedia for the waterboarding thoughts.

Do they possibly think this will really work?

Well, once again the "Left" is lying. Do they possibly think nationalizing health care will really work. Show me a country where free health care has worked. Don't tell me to look at Canada or England. It's not working there and they are laughing at us because we....I mean they....the "left" is actually considering it. Go to any major news outlet in these countries and find a recent medical article that says nationalizing health care is the bomb. In these countries, the health care has bombed! You think our medical waiting lists are long, check theirs out. More people die because the lists are too long. People are suing because of their wait times for clinical and emergency help are too long. Doctors in Canada are actually looking to move to the United States because they are not getting paid enough and they are tired of the system. What happens then when the Doctors are gone from Canada? They think they have a problem now. So far, I have not been convinced and I can't believe Mr. Smooth Talker is actually getting somewhere with this.

Now that I have got that off my chest, let's talk about another topic that is eating me up. This Hugo Chavez thing. I mean, what is up with this guy? He seized his assets with an American company?!?! Come on, what is he thinking? Some are saying that this is almost an act of war. Hasn't he done enough to this world? I already don't by Citgo gas and I never will. I hope every red blooded American feels the same way. I like what Sean Hannity had to say today and I think he hit the nail on the head. America should seize what he owns here and sell them to the China. We could get hundreds of billion of dollars from it and put it towards this stimulus bill be are going to be forced to pay back for the rest of eternity. Plus it would be a good bargaining force with China to stop what they are doing with Iran. Let's get this guy where it hurts. But, what do I know?

Have We Forgotten?

Citizens of the United States,

Who are we? What is happening to this great nation? All we do is point the finger at somebody else. We have stopped taking responsibility for our own actions. Why do people feel that they are entitled to everything in this nation? What happened to hard work to earn what one has? What are we leaving for future generations and what are we teaching our children? I want everyone to read a prayer given by the great Billy Graham to our Lord and Savior.

'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'-Billy Graham

How does this not make sense? Take a minute and set your issues, feelings, political preference, and busy lifestyle aside and use that God given brain. Check yourself........your morals........and the decisions your making. Are they the right one's? We have got to come together as people. From what I remember, the words are "for the people, by the people". Our elected officials are our employees. We decide what is right and wrong!!!
