America Tortures - Goodbye to Daily Kos

I posted this on Daily Kos this morning:

-----------------------

This is not a Bipolar rant, followed by weeks of absence and then a sheepish return.

I'm done with Daily-Kos, because I'm done with America as it currently stands in the world of civilized peoples.

America tortures. It's now official.

The Democratic Party just allowed the approval of an Attorney-General who refused to call water-boarding torture or illegal.

The only explanation I can accept for this is that it's now no longer a big deal. America tortures...just don't admit it in public...wink-wink...let's move on the the spending bill...

Not this guy...I'm outta here.

I'm going to Docudharma and back to the Canadian blog A Creative Revolution, because this is a site that helps elect Democrats.

The Democratic Party is now my enemy, as the Republican Party has always been during my lifetime.

Maher Arar's kidnapping on American soil by American government officials, rendition and torture due to America's insistence on violating international law will never be addressed, obviously.

For that, I turn my back on America as a nation.

There are still decent and good Americans, of course, but obviously not enough to prevent their nation from becoming a torturing, war-crime embracing and aggressively-warring pariah on the world stage.

I renounce, as a world citizen, American foreign policy, and I renounce America's war crimes.

You haven't learned the lessons of history, America, but I have no doubt you're about to re-learn it the hard way...and you'll reap what you have sowed.

Any decent Americans had better batten down the hatches, because when the Reaper comes, he shall not make distinction, just as the Allies did not distinguish between good and bad Germans at the end. All Germany got fucked. And good and decent Americans are going to find out very soon how badly good people can get fucked when they sit back and allow evil to be committed in their names.

And, since the Democrats have proven themselves complicit in America's outlaw status, I renounce the Democratic Party of the United States as supporters and endorsers of the United States' continuing (and illegal under every civilized law in this world) brutalizing of human beings under the false banner of "fighting terror."

Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney and Bill O'Reilly have won. They have helped destroy America's soul.

And as long as Maher Arar is denied the justice owed him by America, I'm done with America and with this site.

---------

I will not buy American-made products if I can find viable alternatives. I will not travel to America. I will not do anything to support this outlaw and rogue nation, and I shall pray everyday for the internationally community to finally cut loose the American Dollar as the international currency.

In short, as America has become Rome, I join the throngs awaiting its final collapse. And perhaps then, the rest of the world can breathe a short sigh of relief before the next imperial world power emerges.

I do not hate America. I hate what it has become.

---------

American politicians, be warned. Cross the border northward, and I'll be waiting for you with protests, banners and civil demonstrations, if I can muster them.

American politicians, you are not welcome in my country.

Canada is a law-abiding country. Yours is not. Stay the fuck out of my country, or I'll do my utmost to make your stay as embarrassing for both my and your politicians. I do not consort with torturers, and I will suffer their presence in my nation only under extreme duress.

But I'll make sure they hear me.

Canada does not torture.

Good Bye.
