I think people should know by now that I am all out against torture. However, I do not think forcing people to listen to one kind of music is torture. Otherwise, I have been tortured by my girlfriend so many times in my car!

This is why liberals are pathetic in politics. They really cannot push their message across. Even when you are agreeing with their points, they can spoil the argument for you. That is what happens when you stretch the truth, it becomes nonsense.

Water-boarding is torture. Sleep deprivation is torture. Drilling next to the head is torture. Shoving a baseball down people’s throat is torture. Sell that! Especially shoving a baseball down people’s throat. Any American can understand that that is torture!

But making people listen to REM and AC/DC; that is not torture, it is heaven! Not so heavenly is to be forced to listen to Sesame Street, but that is not torture . Ask any mum of toddlers!

Lets reverse the roles for a minute. If Al Qaeda had kidnapped our soldiers, do you think that the victims would be worried about loud Islamic prayers or Arabic music. The worst thing that could happen is that the victim would be traumatized with these music when they are freed. At best, they could start appreciating Arabic music!

Liberals have really got this all wrong. They must stop selling non torture as torture. They are just backfiring on their agenda. For example, they cannot go out and say that threatening to rape Guantanamo inmate’s families is torture. The police do that all the time. They cannot say that sleeping with a caterpillar is torture. That show us that the inmate is pathetic, not being tortured. Neither can they say that listening to REM is torture.

This is just going to make people that are undecided against you weak kneed arguments. Anybody with a brain would know that their arguments in the previous paragraphs are false. This just undermines people who share the same view as me that torture should not be allowed by our government would have their efforts undermined by stupid argument in the paragraphs above.

In addition to this, the bands whose music is being used for this “music torture”, bands like Pearl Jam and REM, want to know if this is true. I can understand why this is so. This is because these bands have a global appeal. They do not want to be demonized in the Middle East. It would make they lose some of their appeal over there, which also means a financial loss to them.

For God’s sake, lets stop this silly season! This is really stupid. We should not be pursuing garbage issues like this. We got a lot on our minds to think about, health-care, the environment, the national debt, JOBS, economy amongst others. We should not be bothered about what music terrorists are listening to!
