Never, ever let it be said that the Peacer
Laureate's administration is not one of progressivistic enlightenment. I
mean, just look at the sensitivity being displayed by the Obama
administration toward its captives in its Guantanamo concentration camp. The Miami Herald reports:
Here's a new twist in the U.S. military's Islamic sensitivity effort in the prison camps for suspected terrorists at the Guantà ¡namo Bay Navy base: Military medical staff are force-feeding a secret number of prisoners on hunger strike between dusk and dawn during the Muslim fasting holiday of Ramadan.
The prison camps spokesman, Navy Cmdr. Bradley Fagan: ... "Detainees who are fasting get their meals before dawn,'' he said Wednesday, disclosing only the hours of that day's feeding "in observance of the Ramadan schedule'' -- before 5:26 a.m. and after 7:28 p.m."
Now what about that, all you progressive critics of Obama? He
only force-feeds those held for years in indefinite captivity after the
sun goes down during Ramadan. What exquisite tact, what a remarkable
sensitivity to human rights, eh? Why, they ought to give this guy a
Nobel Peace Prize or something!
And it doesn't stop there. Obama is now force-feeding his Gitmo
captives -- those that have been so maddened by years of captivity
without charges -- with some really tasty flavors of liquid pumped into
their stomachs by force:
To demystify it a bit, Navy prison camp hospital workers some years back created a display of different flavored supplements and let visiting reporters handle a sample yellow rubber feeding tube. By last summer, staff were pointing to Butter Pecan flavored Ensure as popular with the chair-shackled captives. Flavor made no difference going down, one nurse explained, but a captive could taste it if he burped later.
Think of that! The Peacer is pumping tasty butter pecan delicacies into the guts of his prisoners in perpetuity in his still unclosed Guantanamo concentration camp! Sure, they can't really taste the concoction as it pours down the hard rubber tube jammed into their orifices -- but if they happen to burp later, they can savor that deep, rich flavor.
That, my friends, is progressivism you can taste!
