    Mikes

    Are you making an argument, or just scribbling RNC manifesto on the wall of your room?

    The precise reason I enjoy our unparalleled freedoms is because people stood in the face of government sanctioned tyranny against the people. Something, and correct me if I'm wrong, that Republicans used to stand up for. US Sanctioned torture doesn't give me freedom and safety. It gives me the illusion of freedom and safety.

    And Victoria, yeah, some folks got tortured during WWII. And I would like to know if our government, at its highest level, openly rejected the geneva convention and ordered troops to torture and coerce testimony on a grand scale. If you can present me with that evidence, I'll give you that point.
