Not One Republican Voted Against Mukasey’s Torture Agenda

"The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The writings of white supremacist shooter James Von Brunn on Free Republic, and right-wing readers' positive reaction to his writings, is mirrored here for historical reference. Free Republic has taken the post down, trying to shove it down the memory hole.

Read the Google Cache of the "Arizona Sentinel" blog cut-and-paste hack job that right-wingers are claiming "proves" that Barack Obama applied to Occidental College as a foreigner. As you'll see with a quick read and the most minimal effort to find the faked sources referred to within, it's a hoax. Also a hoax, therefore, is the claim by right-wingers that the "Arizona Sentinel" is a newspaper website taken down by The Man because conspiracy theorists were TOO CLOSE to the truth! See here for a debunking of the fake "article."

Had it up to here with the silence of the Speaker of the House during years and years of U.S. Government torture? Then shout it to the highest clouds: Nancy Pelosi, Resign!

Not One Republican Voted Against Mukasey’s Torture Agenda

jclifford Michael Mukasey has been confirmed by the United States Senate, even though Mukasey indicated that he would not challenge the use of torture planned by the Bush White House. The confirmation of Mukasey came in spite of the promised change of the 2006 election, when the Democrats swore that they would change things if they got the majority in the Senate. The six Senate Democrats who voted to confirm Mukasey place a stain on the reputation of the Democratic Party.

Things are even worse for the Republican Party, however. Not one single Republican senator had the basic human decency to vote against the confirmation of Mukasey.

The Democratic Party is stained with the support of torture shown by some of its leaders. The Republican Party, however, seems to be pro-torture through and through.

Shame. Shame. Shame.

It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection. These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.
