Get out your checkbooks America, because 3 trillion on wars was the tip of the iceberg if we get our way. Let's have more militarized policing, more hit squads, more torturing prisons, more spying on citizens, more police state period. And let's have more wars, lots more wars, which will lead to more unrest which will lead to more riots and more wars. Mo money mo money mo money. Until it's all guns, all prisons and no butter, a republican utopia. Just keep bringing the crazy.

using the Luntz tested word uncertainty.
"The future's uncertain and the end is always near."
(Jim Morrison, Roadhouse Blues)
Nothing is permanent and uncertainty is part of life.
The uncertainty meme is a staple in Republican/totalitarian propaganda.

4. TORTURE MAKES US SAFER?

UH, TORTURE INSURES PERPETUAL TERRORISM AGAINST THE TORTURERS FOREVER.

Torture does not produce good intelligence. Kalid Sheik was waterboarded 183 times! How could it be effective if you have to do it 183 times?

Torture creates blowback which can take the form of terrorism.

Torture by our American Government is one of the darkest spots in our history and is repugnant and makes me ashamed to be an American. Shame on all of us who did not stand and fight against our government about this!

It's ignorant and stupid besides.

Our practice of torture makes us pretty much on the same moral level as terrorists.

We are a nation of mean and stupid hypocrites! What do we have to be proud of if we torture? Where is our basis to tell others to do whats right if we practice a form of terrorism ourselves?

oh, and take a few acting lessons while she's at it

once I heard 'the intel' come out of her mouth, I started laughing out loud. I did enjoy watching her eyes scanning the cue cards as she read her lines however - very natural.

tsk tsk tsk - poor wittle neocons, you aren't going to live as long as the rest of us who don't live in fear because your wee wittle hearts are going to give out from all the stress of it
