Waterboarding, has become the cause célèbre for the Left. It is their battle cry against any form of torture to gain information from an enemy combatant. The Left doesn't believe in enemies or combatants. The Politically Correct crowd cried foul over sleep deprivation and pushing someone into a wall as well. Liberals don't believe in torture in any form.
Time-outs may be too demeaning for these people they consider as being held "against their will" on the island of Cuba in a tiny military facility named Gitmo. It[Gitmo] is going to be shut down because war crimes against America, apparently, are law enforcement issues and have little to do with the ongoing War on Terror. Oh, I forgot, the Obama Administration calls the War on Terror an Overseas Contingency Operation; as if the change of language will change the outcome. The lawyers are now definitely in charge of America's moral compass.
The Left didn't make a peep when the Taliban drew the knife blade across the throats of Daniel Pearl or Nicholas Berg. Those depraved enough to watch the beheading videos which were sent, all over the world, by Air Aribia, the Terrorist's propaganda tool, were witnesses to true brutality and barbarism. The video was viewed by millions of "peace loving Islamasist" all over the planet, who cheered at the visions of the murders of captured Americans.
For a glimpse of the true mind of the Arab/Islamic Terrorist you don't have to go any further then to view, if you can stomach it, captured hand drawn pictures of a Terror Manual found in an al-Qaeda safe house in Iraq. Drilling, eye gouging, eye removal and even more horrible tortures are depicted in graphic detail.
Apparently even beheading doesn't fall under the category of torture for the Left. Never mind the horror felt by these men as their lives were ended in such a cruel fashion, or their families as they had to endure unending Press reports about the incidents. American society took a terrible hit at the hands of our enemies. It is clear that people of the Left have a blind spot. The safety of the American people is second to the rights of the Terrorists according to their thinking.
To truly understand the mind of the left, on the subject of torture, I had to do a little research. One of the first articles I ran across was entitled, "Torture — a presence without an absence" by Eric Harper, a member of Lacanian Ink. His article didn't help much.
"When someone is subjected to torture, something external impinges and breaks down the individual's protective shield, which leaves the person in a helpless state with the result that, internal and external registers get confused. Having survived, the person is left with a residue of something excessive that is too much to bear, something intolerable that disrupts the process of getting through the day - linear time - and overburdens the signifying apparatus. The disruption of the signifying apparatus, a defect in signification, is the point at which anguish interrupts and the subject encounters the real which engenders non-sense. The object (a) is implicated in a too much and produces anguishing affects due to a lack of signification."Lacanian Ink is a publication based on the teachings of a somewhat discredited French Psychoanalyst, Jacques-Marie-Émile Lacan. He was a hero of the far Left in France from the 1940' which tells you that he was a real radical. His supporters attended his yearly lectures, in Paris, with a cult like devotion. Lacan is a hero of the American Left too, especially feminist. His teachings were mostly about the social acceptance of sexual deviation. He was one of the people who helped start the Free Love movements of the 1960's and 1970's.
The Left's moral compass is skewed at best. Their causes are lost in their debase nature. Everything must be allowed. No punishment for any infractions. Even though many are Lawyers on the Left. the Law is to be made meaningless. The playing field must be level. Gay marriage, legal drugs, the Government provides everything by taking from the producers [Capitalism] and giving to the non-productive welfare state.
While holding themselves up as the only side with morals they are operating with a childish intellect. All people must conform. Individualism is the adversary of Liberal thought. Conformity is the desired state of being. Their socialization of sexuality is to normalize all forms of sexual deviation. Drugs should be decriminalized. Perverse behavior should be the norm. A society operating from these premises is a corrupt institution with no moral value.
What a shame this is America in the new Century, and it is a country divided. Half convinced that the new way, the socialistic view of everything, the collective, is the right way forward. The other half clinging to their "guns and bibles", according to President Obama, and struggling to maintain Jewdeo/Christian values based on individualism and self-reliance. The values that made America great.
The current Administration is Left leaning at best and Socialist or worse in nature. They are masters of communication and persuasiveness. What must be remembered is that they can say anything. Their actions have not always matched their rhetoric. Transparency has met a solid curtain of deceit that doesn't match Obama's promise of the most transparent Administration ever or his promise of the most bi-partisan government met with his arrogant retort to Republican ideas, "I Won".
This, then, is the struggle for America's soul. Not all Collectivists are Liberal. Not all Conservatives are Capitalist. Modern life moves at such rapid pace that analyzing any subject is fast but maybe not as deeply thought out as is needed to make important decisions. We all must pay attention to the direction our Country is headed in, lest we become a Country without a soul. America is worth the struggle.
