Seth MacFarlane, on last nights Real Time with Bill Maher, says: “If Ronald Regan was President, he’d try Dick Cheney for war crimes.” This was in response to Bill asking if anyone has seen Dick Cheney brag about personally ordering water boarding on the Sunday talk shows. The assertion is, I assume, based on Reagan signing the UN Treaty Against Torture.
So how might so-called conservatives who defend torture by our government respond to that kind of cognitive dissonance? Reagan worship on one hand, and mindless support of barbarism on the other. Oh how can they possibly choose?
