I will agree with the “we are really screwed part”
I think most Americans are against the idea of torture if you just ask them in that way, but if you described who this guy is you want information from and then asked average people how far are you willing to go to get this information? Are you willing to deny them sleep, most would say yes. Are you willing to yell and scream at them and threaten them… depending on the guy and the kind of information we are trying to get most would say yes, we could go on and on.. but I think people would be willing to do what you might deem as torture to protect and defend our country, troops and way of life in some cases.
No one except crazy people want or like torture but most Americans I think would be willing to go further with certain people to get certain information.
I thought at that time you were a moderate… now I don’t know what I think and really does it matter what I think anyways. But I don’t think your moderate anymore. No one can take part in so much bashing of one Party and its President while getting angry or unhappy at the bashing of another party and its president for the same type of stuff on each side and be considered moderate.
It might be too late but I think its more about who is doing it. I don’t consider obama someone who can fight terrorism, terrorist or even stand up to it. Hell man, the guy doesn’t even want to use the word terror unless he is talking about a republican. Its better to wait till we have someone who can do it than try it and fail with someone who is not up to that challenge.
I honestly can not think of one thing about obama in the positive, I could a couple of things about Bush and I probably could find something good about Clinton but I could not about obama. I could not find one good thing to say about John Freaking Kerry (who served in Vietnam) either.
Who knows who it will be. I still like Mitt Romney but I would like someone else more if they had his good qualities but were also more conservative than him.
That is easy for you to type but it means little on its own. How about you explain what he meant in his books when writing about these types of people he admired so much. That would have more meaning than just saying its not so.
