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.

I know. My oldest son, 29, is one week into his second go in Iraq. Special Ops. Didn't have to go, but an SF officer he worked with last year was putting a team together for a certain task and offered him first shot at it. It's more of a command center job; no more midnight raids and whatnot, so there's that. No reason not to expect a happy ending.

Got a year and a half to go for his degree at the U of Maryland, and an 8-year old daughter, done a tour there already and came back with the SF Combat Patch, done tours in SA and the Philippines, Korea, China. But the call came again, and he answered..

I think about that ...creature.. in the senate, and what he/it said...I think about a lot of things.

What a fantastic expression of your feelings. And I agree with all of it, especially the treasonous seditious part! ;-)

God bless your daughter and son-in-law and keep them safe to return home to y'all. And thank them for their service!

Great Post. It's Treason for the likes of Durbin!! My Son-In Law spent 6 Mo. At Gitmo. He is a Navy Psychiatric Nurse. He tells me tales about having things from every bodily orifice being thrown at him.

Idiots like Durbin and other dems just DO NOT understand the moral equivalency of their asinine comparisons...to him a "prisoner being mistreated" is the same as the atrocities of the brutal regimes...he is a complete fool, and doesn't even UNDERSTAND what he is saying, he has no clue...he read his stupid "talking points" and is now surprised by the reaction/outrage...CLUELESS...

Well you should be angry, So am I.

Durbin is nothing more than a left wing Kook and a Dean wannabe.

Because of leadership from egotistical idiots like Deadwood Durbin,the Dimorat party has become reprehensible to just about anyone who has a sane mind.
I found The Turbins remarks extremely offensive.

Do the Dimorats ever get out of their Ivory Tower offices and converse with the real patriotic countrymen in the USA.

Turbin and his ilk have drank so much Moveon.org sewer rat Kool Aide that it clouds their narrow outlook on politics.

I tell you folks the Dimorat party has become the enemy from within. I would bet the ranch that these dimwits still do get it.

WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?
WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?

WHEN INNOCENT PEOPLE'S HEADS ARE CUT OFF ON TV THERE IS NO OUTRAGE.

WHEN A MURDERER IS FORCED TO STAND ON A CONCRETE FLOOR WHILE THE AIRCONDITIONER IS MAKING THE ROOM 50 DEGREES, THEN THERE IS OUTRAGE.

THIS IS TREASON ON BEHALF OF THESE DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS! I WISH WOULD ROUND THEM UP AND SUBJECT THEM TO A FIRING SQUAD. THEY ARE AIDING THE ENEMY.

THIS SICKENS ME!

THE ENEMY FROM WITHIN IS OUT WORST ENEMY BY FAR.

THE TERRORISTS ARE A THORN IN OUR SIDE COMPARED TO OUR REAL ENEMY, THE DEMOCRATIC LEFT!

THEY ARE ERODING OUR COULTURE FROM WITHIN. THE DAMAGE THEY CAUSE TO OUR COUNTRY IS MANY TIMES THE DESTRUCTION OF 9-11.

I'm with you. My nephew will be leaving his wife and two
babies in August, to serve in Iraq.
Dick Durbin, from the once proud
state of Illinois, makes me SICK.

What he said was calculated to harm the President and he cared not at all about demeaning our troops and endangering our country in the process. There is only one word for what he has done : TREASON

But what it has done is rally all behind our troops again even stronger. The Dems just don't get it. When things get going tough for the US, we just need a reason to get the wave of patriotism going again. Thank you Durbin, you just gave us reason to rally around our soldiers again.
