Trashing of America’s ideals and values worst thing about this administration

By Big Will

Really. Such arrogance. How embarrassing.  Our people, our fellow Americans, have used or condoned torture on prisoners. Our government purposefully decided not to bring prisoners to this country so we don’t have to grant them basic human rights as written in our own Constitution? Don’t we know that intelligence experts say that such tactics don’t gain us reliable information? Don’t we know that justice will not be served by using such tactics?

Sure, we hear that these prisoners are not prisoners of war, but rather, terrorists.

Isn’t it embarrassing that this administration’s black-or-white, with-me-or-against-me, no-negotiation attitude has alienated most of our friends around the world? Such attitudes fall in lock step behind the ultra-partisanship in Washington.

Isn’t it strange that we decided to attack a dictator in Iraq rather than attack dictators in Burma or North Korea?

We’ve asked our soldiers to fight and die in Iraq for what cause? 9/11? What’s the connection?

Haven’t our country’s decisions and actions created and encouraged even more Islamic terrorists?

I can’t wait for a Democrat to be elected president, one who will lead us out of this morass of immoral, unethical, unpatriotic practices.
