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.

What Durbin said goes beyond politics this is pure anti- American...this took the mask off the left..that is why they are so silent today.......they know how bad this could play out for them.

I could see them tossing Dickie under the train..

Two years ago my son did a stint at Gitmo guarding the fence between the base and Cuba. Durbin needs to get his fat ass down there and come back in sack cloth and beg the American public forgivness, especially anyone serving our country. All our son's and daughter's serving are doing a fantastic job and deserve our support.
I try to ignore the liberals because no matter what the subject or situation they will try to denegrate and tear down, because they are not in power. But when they go after our service men and women the jobs they are doing the line is crossed.

Thanks for putting into words, what so many of us feel.
Durbin also put into words, what we all knew his fellow Democrats felt.
For the safety and security of American troops in theater and those serving worldwide, Durbin must resign.
Immediately.
The longer this drags on, the more ammunition it gives to the enemy.
And the more it jeopardizes the soldiers.
Censure is meaningless and the time for Durbin to apologize was two seconds after his hate speech.
An apology cannot undue the Durbin damage, only action.
There is a cancer growing on the US Senate .
If the Democrats truly support the troops, they will demand and ensure that Durbin resigns, posthaste.
But, I am realistic enough to know that the Democrats will coddle Durbin and throw the troops to the wolves.
When every decent American knows it should be the other way.

And thank you and your family for your service/sacrifice (praying the sacrifice doesn't include injury).

The only way I can figure that these idiots have any constituancy, is that too many people believe the lies shoved down their throats.

Earlier, on O'Reilly, he said that President Bush or someone in the administration, needs to be more verbal/visual as to why some 'uncomfort' techniques have been used, and what they've accomplished.

Although that may sound good, the intitial thought that went through my head, was the MSM won't allow it to be shown to the people if it's in any manner convincing.
