Compassionate Conservative-The Picture On The Wall

Somewhere in Iraq there is a picture on the wall, a picture that is drawn in blood and feces. It is a picture of a compassionate conservative. There is a face in the picture of a hooded man with wires dangling from his testicles and a garbage bag over his head. Yet, at another angle it is the face of a human pyramid naked and forced to simulate homosexual sex acts. But from another angle there is a figure hanging from the wall with arms tangled behind his back and blood flowing from his mouth going forth like a fountain in a scene from Hell.

Somewhere in Afghanistan there is a picture on the wall, a picture drawn in blood and feces. It is a picture of men held for years without trial. There is a blood stained pipeline in the background. There is death and destruction everywhere across the landscape.

Somewhere in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba there is a picture on the wall. The picture is of naked men with hoods over their faces handcuffed to a chain link fence. Men held without trial for over years and the picture is drawn in tears and blood. In the background written in the dirt are the words, “ Home of the Brave, Land of the Free. “

Somewhere in the United States of America there is a picture on the wall, it is a picture plastered over The Constitution of the United States drawn in blood and feces. There is a massive stain across the face of The Bill Of Rights and the signature at the bottom to the far right reads The Compassionate Conservative.
