My response to a story located at:
Here we go again. Another example
of how America has slid down that slippery hill. When 911 occurred, America
lost more than a building and innocent lives on that fateful day. America
stepped into a dark tunnel and the light at the end is absent
Yes, our country has a long history
of civil rights abuses but over time, we always seemed to correct our mistakes.
Currently, there is not a plausible movement to correct our errors. The people
have accepted dictatorship and nobody complained.
After 911 America allowed a
President and his entire administration to perform murder by torture,
kidnapping, rendering and a false war murdering half a million innocent people.
America cheered, bragged and boasted. America encouraged our leaders to commit
further crimes. The American people accepted dictatorship and cheered. Europe
cried. The world wondered what happened to the Golden land.
After 911, a new dictatorship spied
on Americans without a warrant and Americans approved. Many people objected but
were called names, chastised, even fired from their jobs for defending what
America used to be. News services became afraid to report the news and lied to
the people to protect their jobs.
Set loose by a criminal
administration American soldiers went into Afghanistan and Iraq with virtually
no restrictions. Murder and mayhem ensued and military commanders having the
sense to stop such behavior in times past went silent.
US soldiers went on a killing spree
as they exacted America's vengeance on old men, women and children.
Now those trigger happy video game
killers have come home and many police departments employ them. Slapped on the
back and congratulated for their crimes many of our heroes are now doing their trigger-happy,
shoot first; ask questions later behavior on American citizens. Like a disease,
this attitude spread to others who never served in the military.
Cops are killing unarmed people
around the country and are getting away with it. They get away with it because
America has accepted dictatorship. America has traded its civil liberties for
security. America rewarded war criminals when they re-elected George W. Bush
for a second term.
Is it any wonder an interrogation
center in Chicago, depicted in this news story, can exist in our nation? Our
leaders and their followers have committed massive war crimes. These criminals bragged
the people made them heroes. An example has been set. It has become common
behavior. Police officers secretly interrogating, torturing and even killing is
the norm today.
None of those officers or political
leaders who participated in or authorized such a facility in the United States
will pay for what they have done. America has already accepted dictatorship. We
are just too proud to admit it. The loud mouths, the bully's, the
authoritarians and braggarts have taken over country and the people approve.
The meek shall inherit the earth but not any time soon in America.
