Putting our priorities straight...

California Conservative reports commentary made by Minnesota's own Congressman Mark Kennedy on the House floor:

“Mr. Speaker, where is the outrage? We hear stories today of two of our soldiers having suffered unspeakable torture, and left in a nearly-unrecognizable condition. Yet where are the cries of outrage against this brutality?

“Instead, we hear today of the EU leadership focused on closing Gitmo, and members of this body rushing to judgment on national TV before the facts are known about what our troops in the field have done.

“Yes, we should hold our troops to the highest ethical standards, but we must be outraged by acts against our troops.

“Our troops deserve our full support, and we must recognize the intensity of evil that we face, the lengths they will go to harm America and undermine our values, and the need to make sure we win this War on Terror to keep our families safe at home.”

Indeed.

Yes, there is a difference between Democrats and Republicans.
