Every time I hear the MSM refer to “waterboarding” as “simulated drowning”, it reminds me of our siumlated torturer-in-chief (and unindicted war criminal), Mr. Bush.

The US version of the ‘British Disease’...... but, oh, its been happening for the past 20 years, uhh http://www.vdare.com/pb/cultural_causes_review.htm

Mr. Barnett’s explanation for Britain’s decline is essentially cultural. The working class was brutalized by the Industrial Revolution, he says, and the upper classes were seduced by visions of pre-industrial gentility.
