DrProsek posted:Yeah i distinctly remember seeing a lot of posts on Freep declaring Cruz a RINO, but over what I have no idea. I know he voted for something that Harry Reid voted for and I think JimRob declared Cruz surrendered and is no true conservative. You are far too optimistic about the worst of humanity to think they would declare Cruz a RINO for something petty as a vote. But I'll tell you what it really was. Are you ready? It was...................expressing regret over Nelson Mandela's death.

In fairness, they're also huge on "freedom of speech" and "freedom of religion" but it the most backwards and self-serving way conceivable. And sporadically really big on 4th/5th amendment rights for other than "those people". We need to see a 3rd Amendment test, maybe some article about commission in San Diego refusing to provide free housing to ARE TROOPS of the Pacific Fleet?

As I went to tap your link, I just thought, "Please be Marbury." Regardless, their take on the role of the judiciary is just as backwards and self-serving as their take on the Constitution. If Obama or a Democratic Congress refused to enforce a SCOTUS decision, the entire site of Freep would be nothing but swearing, decrying the death of the rule of law, calling the Republic dead, and calling for mob lynchings of politicians. ...Oh yeah. But more! More than now! It's possible! And they'd be right to be furious, but not for the reasons they'd give.

Finnankainen posted:The Sacrilegious Sarah Palin Yeah, I absolutely love this because when I was in law school and we discussed torture in international law our neoconservative law professor made the argument that waterboarding, sleep deprivation etcetera wasn't torture and the two military officers in the class stood up and begged to differ. "Actually, we went through training on how to resist interrogation, and the military did all of that stuff to us precisely because it was torture. The trainers literally said we are going to torture you. So... Yeah... It's torture."

One thing that has always confused me about the it's-not-torture position is, if it isn't torture, why bother doing it? If it's no big deal, why would it make a prisoner talk?

Because Arabs are pussies obviously. Waterboarding wouldn't make manly conservative white men talk but Arabs will fold at the first sign of water (because they live in a desert you see).

It's not so much that they think waterboarding isn't unpleasant, it's that they have no problem with doing unpleasant things to people they don't like. Freep's understanding of "torture" is like their understanding of "racism" - they know it's considered bad, so they redefine it away from themselves. Just as it's not "racism" unless you're literally wearing a pointy white hood, it's not "torture" unless it involves red-hot pokers.

It is a method of interrogation designed to get answers but it's not "torture". It's like how grilling someone in a room for 8 hours isn't torture, but it is designed to break people down and get answers.

That's because the Rebellion was a failure. Only liberals lose. Also (and more importantly), the Founding Fathers are never wrong. Ever. If they seem to be anything other than infallible it's because you are interpreting things wrong or believing lies by the liberal schools and media.

Ted Cruz: Putin Attempting to Reassemble USSR (VIDEO) I can't tell if Greetings_Puny_Humans is talking about Operation Unthinkable (in which case Patton was as in position to roll tanks into Moscow as the US Army is right now) or that thing a Freeper mentioned earlier about basically joining Operation Barbarossa and signing a new Molotov-Ribbentrop pact with Nazi Germany (in which case the USA wouldn't be imitating the Nazi invasion of Russia, they'd be joining it!). Either way, I like how invading the USSR was to save lives. Because if there's one phrase I'd use to describe a war between two superpowers, it's "life saving"!
