What really sucks is that it is the conservatives that will be doing most of the killing and dying to restore the republic that the liberals are currently working so hard to destroy.

Here's one for the racist rednecks that voted for Jack Murtha (his words, not mine).

Quote
Murtha Says He'd Take Guantanamo Prisoners in His District

Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., says he'd be willing to house prisoners from Guantanamo Bay in his congressional district if President Obama makes good on a plan to close the U.S. prison there.

"Sure, I'd take 'em," said Murtha, an outspoken critic of the Iraq war. "They're no more dangerous in my district than in Guantanamo."

I heard that this was an empty offer considering that Murtha has no federal prisons within his district.  OTOH, a republican congressman had a good idea, ship them to Pelosi's district and reopen Alcatraz as a federal pen.

What disturbs me more is the legal ramifications, such as exposing intelligence in open court during the painstaking process of protecting these monsters' "rights."  Also, the defanged interrogation procedures.  I agree, just kill them, no questions asked. 

Gitmo itself doesn't bother me as much, because these scum are going to miss their island paradise mightily when they're shipped to a regular prison.  No more ocean breezes and soft lapping of the waves in the beautiful sunshine.  Don't drop the soap, fellas!

If you forced Pelosi herself to pay for it, I'd go with that idea. But that won't happen.

Alcatraz closed because it was too expensive to run. They even had to bring over drinking water, much less everything else.

The bastards aren't worth the expense - at least when the taxpayer is footing the bill.

President Barack Obama is expected to sign "several" executive orders on Thursday directing the Central Intelligence Agency to close its network of "black sites," or secret foreign prisons, and order the closing of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp within a year.

As Leon Panetta, the newly appointed Director of the CIA, has no intelligence experience, I would venture a guess that all covert ops would be hidden from him and remain in operation.

The intelligence sector is going to play this adminstration like a fine tuned fiddle.

Hi everyone, I'm new here.  I cannot believe zero actually did this.  I naivelly thought that after getting some of the "inside scoop" from those departing, he would change his mind and spin it somehow to calm the moonbat masses.  What a huge mistake.  We will surely be hit again.  Then, however, he's toast.  I don't want to make the wrong first impression, because I'm a decent person, but even decent people have evil thoughts (like "what if they hit the capitol?")  

Does anybody here check any muslim sites/forums to see what the chatter is?  



What Dutch said, and welcome, Karin.  Although we are almost all Conservatives of one stripe or another, attitudes and niceness quotient about the opposition and events in general ranges widely here, you should say what you really think and let the chips fall where they may.  I am on the lower end of the niceness quotient myself, with plenty of company, which is not a male preserve at all (mamacags and delilahmused can deliver some really special scorchers when they get spun up!).

Actually Chris, if you look at the entire conversation, it's a helluva lot scarier. He said he had a minimum security prison in his district. Then he was asked would he take them. That's when he made that asinine statement.

MINIMUM F'N SECURITY? This guy is high.

ONCE AGAIN, democrats have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are simple minded fools.

They think in two dimensions - this is the problem, this is the solution

They evidently don't have enough brain power to look at the problem from every possible angle.

obama has been talking about this for over a year and he still doesn't have a well thought out plan?  Christ, what does that say about his intelligence?

It's amazing, really.  The local board's version of TominTib is now claiming (besides us all being racists for not voting for Obama) that most of the military wants Gitmo closed.

I swear, these people have developed a Stage-4 terminal case of the dumbass.

Apparently they want to move some of the detainees to Fort levenworth in KS.  I heard on local news that the house and senate reps from KS are pissed.  One of them was even quoted saying "Over my dead body."  lol

Hopefully, they will stick to it.

Obama is playing the left like the complete tools that they are.    He keeps this up and I may grow to like the commie -- never vote for him, but will appreciate his screwing his party over.
