American Supremacy

In recent months, the fear displayed by the Republican Party would make one wonder, is American superiority as it has been claimed in the past, great or a fallacy. In recent months the argument to allow the Gitmo detainees into the Maximum Security Prisons within the borders of the United States is in fact, moot. What ever happen to the euphemistic saying "keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer". What is this ridiculous argument about "the detainees may convert other inmates to be sympathetic to their cause" BS. To place the detainees in with the regular prison society who be cruel and inhuman to the detainees (they wouldn't last 24hrs.). The Republicans forget, everybody in the U.S. either were related to the victims of 9/11, or know of someone who was touched by the events of 9/11, even those in prison (with over 3,100 people killed, this rationale isn't that impossible to imagine).



The prison authorities can't place child offenders among the regular population for fear that they may be murdered. Imagine the inmates thinking they would be getting a free pass to murder someone who the whole U.S. hates. Understandably know one would mind, but if the U.S. proclaims to be above all other countries (with regard to human rights), the U.S. must set fourth the example.



The reasoning that the Republican Party has put fourth is baseless. One would wonder "are they really that dumb, or is there some other real reason"? I have never seen so many men so afraid. If I were a terrorist I would be laughing my ass off! This is the time to show brains over fear. People who are afraid make mistakes. Your ability to make rational decisions are diminished. You over react, you under react, you don't react, you're afraid. How can a man or a country feel confident in it's own ability to defend itself from anything or anybody fearing anything and anybody? Didn't someone great once say: "we have nothing to fear, but fear itself"? Or what about "no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country, but by making the other bastard die for his". Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe these were sayings from some other great men from some other country.

If the fear of the U.S. is so great maybe we should close the borders and stay to ourselves. I was always told by my mother, "if you don't bother other people, they won't bother you, but if they do, you know what to do". Apparently the politics and the corporations of the U.S. have given an impression to the rest of the world that those in the U.S. think they are better than those in the rest of the world and that the U.S. has eminent domain. Really! Only those who are arrogant, bigoted, self righteous & narcissistic feel they are superior (Christans should read their bibles).

Maybe the prior administration should have been truthful instead of advantages. Now those in agreement with the pass administration should step up to the plate and show some girth, and some fortitude. You aren't scared are you?
