Obama: King of the Hill
The only thing missing are the mirrored sunglasses, ubiquitous on the colonels from various third world tyrannies.
Let's review:
1. For no discernible reason, other than to tout his moral superiority—this from a man who kicked off his political career in the living room of American terrorists Bill Ayres and Bernardine Dorn—President Obama declassified a select group of documents.
2. President Obama then promised the nation that those who rendered legal opinions on anti-terror interrogation—methods that revealed a massive terrorist plot to bring down the Library Towers in Los Angeles, thus saving numerous lives—would not be prosecuted.
3. Twenty-four hours later, President Obama reversed himself—what else is new?—and announced that prosecution is now a possibility. How much do you want to bet that George Soros and Moveon.org played a major part in this infamous decision. The body politic of America has now been poisoned.
4. President Obama is following the playbook of banana republics where previous administrations are treated like criminals.
5. But now policy differences are being criminalized.
6. When I was a kid we played a game called King of the Hill. The kid who fought his way to the top was the winner. And then the game would begin all over again until we had to go home for dinner. But every once in a while some knucklehead would get to the top of the hill and declare the game over.
7. Obama and his followers are now Kings of the Hill. They have declared the game over, and anyone who disagrees is a criminal and subject to persecution and prosecution.
8. Such behavior leads not just to simmering resentment, but violent resistance.
9. The threat to freedom in America does not come from the right, the people who want to make government smaller, but from the left, those who fertilize big government with moral posturing and then use and abuse the power of big government to persecute opposition—past, present and future.
10. If you want to know what torture is, I suggest you reference the Al-Qaeda Field Manual of Torture, discovered by our troops in a safe house in Iraq. It's even got cute little drawings so any Islamo thug can do a top-notch job. Not surprisingly, waterboarding is not in the manual.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
I wonder why the left gets its panties in a twist over water boarding while ignoring the things al Queda in Iraq did to people - including 2 Army soldiers caught -
They took a drill and drilled into their heads.
Selective moral outrage I guess.

The left hates America, hence the double standard.

What? How dare you compare the horrors of waterboarding to the minor nuisance of a drill being applied to your body.
There are levels that even Al-Qaeda won't sink to.

Duhhh!!!! Of course waterboarding is not in it. That would be, like, inhumane.
