Independence Day Weekend Post

Those who are pro-Gitmo and don't think the addict and president should have to follow those things called laws and the Constitution (which he SWORE to defend*) should read this exchange


MATTHEWS: I only have a minute here, sir, and I appreciate your position, and I‘m being tough with you because there is another side to this argument. Let me ask you, do you believe that people who fight us as terrorists deserve Geneva Convention treatment?

SWIFT: It‘s not whether they deserve it or not. It‘s how we conduct ourselves. It has to do where if we say that our opponent can cause us not to follow the rules anymore, then we‘ve lost who we are. We‘re the good guys. We‘re the guys who follow the rule and the people we fight are the bad guys and we show that every day when we follow the rules, regardless of what they do. It‘s what sets us apart. It‘s what makes us great and in my mind, it‘s what makes us undefeatable, ultimately

*Note as an aside he hasn't sworn to protect us from "evil doers" at any cost he swore to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." which he pretty treats with utter contempt and disregard.
