Waterboarding And U.S. Government by slaveofone
The United States is a federal government founded on a single basic principle: that there are natural laws and natural rights inherent and inalienable to all humanity. Those who would be citizens of this country (and most certainly those who would hold any office in it) must consent to this principle. And it goes without need of qualification that one of these natural rights is the right to be free from torture. Government, therefore, exists to uphold and protect such a natural right from perversion.
Those who would support the use of waterboarding against humanity know that such an agenda cannot find favor in this institution or by those who establish it so long as water-boarding is known as torture. And so instead of attempting to change the rule of law, supporters have attended to an absurd and impious scheme to change the name by which it is justly called.
Such tactic is not foreign to history or our experience of government. But we are too literate to be taken in by such moral relativism. We acknowledge not only natural right but the knowledge of that right. And so we know when natural right has been trespassed. Waterboarding is torture and by no re-definition of the name can it be accepted or supported by this government.
So do I, slaveofone, declare fraudulent and unlawful any purpose of government to support or accept waterboarding. May those who do be cut off from this land of respect for the nature and dignity of humanity.
