Did you know that Senator McCain should be respected for his “championing of the troop increase that prevented a humiliating defeat for the United States in Iraq?” ‘Cause I didn’t realize the surge was the only thing stopping us from a “humiliating defeat.” Man, that was a close one.</p> <p>aimai</p> Hey, click through that piece.

Why, it’s not as if a bunch of pale-skinned christists committed mass TREASON against the USA, killing hundreds of thousands in the process, now is it? Well, that was a long time ago. And it’s not as if someone just like them committed a terrorist bombing against a federal building in the US heartland, either?

Otherwise, the only prudent thing to do would be to torture the lot of them, “just in case”.

I am just so glad that Hillary will have these powers to deal with any terrorist traitors that pop their heads up after November.
