A Military Father’s Response to Senator Durbin and the Democrat Party
Copyright 2005, Dean W. Sueck – Dean.Sueck@gmail.com
I am revolted by Senator Durbin’s remarks comparing the detention center in Gitmo with a death camp.
I have a daughter at Ft. Hood Texas with orders to the Middle East within the next 30 days. To boot, her husband ALSO has orders to the ME and my wife and I will be raising their children for the next year, and permanently if something should happen to them while they’re putting their lives on the line to serve this great country, and that’s my pleasure and my honor.
I figure I have a dog in this Senator Durbin fight.
“Facts are stubborn things.” How true Mr. Adams was when he voiced that statement.
I’m here to tell Senator Durbin and his America hating compatriots in the Democrat Party something.
AMERICAN WARS SET MEN FREE!!!
You want to count them up Senator? Let’s:
Iraq - 26,074,906 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Afghanistan - 29,928,987 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Kuwait - 2,335,648 note: 1,291,354 non-nationals (July 2005 est.) freed!
Russia/Eastern Europe – 200,000,000+ people freed!
Panama - 3,039,150 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Grenada - 89,502 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Vietnam - 83,535,576 (July 2005 est.) freed, but for these vile Democrats!
South Korea - 48,422,644 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Japan - 127,417,244 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Germany - 82,431,390 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
France - 60,656,178 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Italy - 58,103,033 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
Netherlands - 16,407,491 (July 2005 est.) people freed!
WWI – Beyond count. At least 100 million.
Spanish American War – Populations of the Philippines, Cuba etc.
US Civil War – 9 million black slaves freed!
I’ll grant that these are current populations and many are simply estimates. But a reasonable person will get the point.
AMERICAN WARS SET MEN FREE!!
In the wars Americans get involved in, it’s AMERICAN soldiers, aviators and sailors who are tortured and mistreated, NOT their counterparts.
Care to count them up? Let’s:
Iraq
Soviet Union
China
North Vietnam
North Korea
Germany
Italy
Japan
How many have I left off this list who have tortured and brutalized American soldiers and civilians?
Does the “esteemed” Senator actually compare our prisoner system and guards to the Islamic monsters that we’re fighting the WAR against?? I hear total silence on the subject of the thousands that they’ve kidnapped, tortured and murdered. What was the “good” senator’s opinion of Margaret Hassan’s body when it was found in Fallujah? It was found decapitated with all arms and legs cut off. She was butchered like a lamb to the slaughter and the Senator said not a word!
Democrats don’t CARE about anybody. They USE people for their own partisan political ends. There’s no lie they won’t tell. It’s what they do. It’s their nature to lie like it’s a dogs’ nature to bark.
The Democrat Party has gotten to the point where they’re led by nothing but foaming at the mouth liberals who hate America with a passion that burns white hot. They are only too happy to be used as propaganda tools by the enemies of America. Senator Durbin’s remarks have been picked up by Al-Jazeera and broadcast around the Arab world over and over and over until it becomes truth, much the same as Newsweek’s flushed Koran story was. I’m sure that like Newsweek, Senator Durbin will issue a useless apology that nobody will pick up on, allowing the damage done to America’s reputation and prestige stand.
This puts the lives of American servicemen at risk, including my daughters’ and son-in-laws’ lives, and gives aid and comfort to the enemies of America.
The Republican Leadership won’t say it, neither will the Republican rank-and-file, but I’ll say it: Senator Durbin and his fellow Democrats are seditious, treasonous SOB’s who give aid and comfort to the enemy. They need psychiatric examinations for the delusions that they live under.
A coerced apology is a non-apology. The Democrats will say that he’s been misquoted and that what he spoke was the truth and his words were taken out of context and “everyone does it”. They’ll trot out all the usual suspects to tell us isn’t such a bad thing and it’s something that everybody knows but nobody will talk about.
Senator Durban’s non-apology apology isn’t enough for me. That such a man is serving in a leadership position in the United States Senate is a black mark against the United States government.
Nothing short of Senator Durbin’s resignation will satisfy me. His resignation and those of like-minded people in the government are the only things that will protect my daughter and her husband as they work to protect us and above all, America.
Good words.
Hey, we are with you. Zell Miller ' bout said the same thing today on Sean Hannity.
Excellent!!!110% on the head.
According to recent research,
more child molestations occur in PUBLIC SCHOOLS per 100 kids than in the Catholic Church.
Using Turbin Logic - our public schools are "Nazi sex-slave labor camps."
Bet the teachers unions would love that unfounded blanket assertion.
How does it feel, Dems?
Hugh Hewitt is reading this right now.
His non apology was an insult to our great soldiers in harms way. His arrogance is disgusting!
Great article AR. My salute to you and your military family; my prayers for their year absence.
I especially appreciate your point about Margaret Hassan. Have we been treated to months of her picture on the NYTimes & the WashPost as they demand answers to the criminal brutality that had them treated that way?
These and other torture pictures should be passed through the internet to all of America under the heading: "Democrats Complain about Guantanamo....Ignore Terrorist Atrocities"
There is absolutely no comparison between our treatment of prisoners, Islamic fiendish mutilation & murder, and Nazi mutilation and murder.
America needs to know!
Calpernia, would you please ping your Patriots List if you haven't already. Thanks.
All except Kosovo; that one was a simple case of land theft.
Wow! Great letter, please send that to all of the newspapers especially the WAshington Post, NYT and all of the Senators.
Thank you for the service and sacrifice of your daughter, her husband and the support of your family. They and all of our Military are in our prayers.
Durbin must take the 'walk of shame' and deliver his statement on the floor of the Senate where he first uttered those words!
Amen. Hundreds of thousands, if not a couple of million, of Hugh Hewitt's listener's just heard every one of your brutally honest words. I agree with you 100%.
I simply find it mind-boggling that people would actually compare the US with Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.
My family love this country as much as the left hates it.
Very powerful. Now only if Zell Miller was still in the Senate and and the dueling pistols were oiled and loaded.
And may God bless and keep your children as they go in harm's way. My prayers go with them.
