Choose One or the Other



How is that some (many) of the same people who have no problem with the destruction of an innocent child in the womb get very exercised over the waterboarding of the likes of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed? We condone approximately 800,000 "legal" abortions every year in the United States, and if the Bill our president sponsored while still a U. S. senator becomes law (he has said he would sign it), that number will probably increase since the tax dollars of all of us will pay for any abortion at any stage of pregnancy. None of that seems to bother those on the Left who are extremely bothered and upset by the thought of a master terrorist (and two of his cohorts) going through something that we put all Navy Seals and other Special Warfare Soldiers and Marines through as part of their training. Waterboarding is NOT torture no matter how many times Obama and Eric Holder say it is. If it were torture we would be routinely torturing our most elite troops. If our interrogators intended to inflict harm on the three terrorists who were waterboarded, they could have done so - but they didn't. None of the three terrorists were harmed by the enhanced interrogation techniques (believe me, if they were we would know about it), and all are still breathing and walking about. None of the 2,974 Americans who were killed in the attacks of 9/11, planned by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, are breathing or walking about, and none of the more than six million innocent babies aborted since 9/11 are breathing, and none will ever walk about.

And please spare me any talk about how, during the past eight years, we have lost our moral bearings, especially when that talk comes from the same people who see nothing immoral about the destruction of innocent babies.
