Over the last few years, there’s been a lot of talk about how the United States supposedly has tortured people. One of those supposed torture methods is something called “water boarding.”

Basically, it makes the person being “tortured” feel like they’re about to drown. But get this: they’re not in any real physical danger at all!

The left in this country has done a good job of convincing folks that water boarding is torture. They’ve actually subjected folks to this technique who’ve volunteered to do it.

Yeah, you read that right: people have volunteered to be water boarded in order to prove how bad it is. I’m sorry, but I just can’t get my brain around that. Here’s an idea: volunteer to have your fingernails pulled out one at a time to show how bad that is. Or maybe to have your hand broken by a hammer.

The latest so-called celebrity to come on board the “water boarding is torture” bandwagon is some British guy named Richard Armitage. Get this: he’s in a show called Spooks and they filmed a scene of him actually being water boarded for their TV show! Even in the controlled circumstances, he didn’t last more than 5 or 10 seconds before screaming for it to stop.

If this really were torture, first off, he wouldn’t have volunteered to have it done to him. Secondly, the folks who actually did it to him would be breaking the law.

You want to know how to torture someone for real? Tape their eyelids open, immobilize their head so they can’t turn it, and sit them in front of Obama’s infomercial for 30 minutes. That’s what I’d call torture.
