Not In My Backyard: Obama Faces Gitmo Closure Backlash

Fox News: House Democratic leaders weighed in Wednesday with a plan that would block any release of Guantanamo detainees within the United States but that would allow them to be shipped to the U.S. to stand trial or to serve their sentences. Today, the House debates a $96 billion emergency spending bill to wind down the war in Iraq and fund operations in Pakistan and Afghanistan, but the bill provides no money to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.

Ok, here is why the idiot hopey dopey leftist socialist corrupt Chicago thug Obama wanted Gitmo closed in the first place.

POLITICS.

Here is why is should not be closed. It does its jobs almost perfectly in each and every way.

Here is why Hopey Dopey will ignore logic and rational thought and do what is good for America.

POLITICS.

Why can’t the left treat this like when Obama said he was against gay marriage? They knew he was lying then, and after all gitmo has served it’s purpose. The democrats are in full control.

Bilderberg Bush-Obama will do anything to bring more Muslims, like him, into our country and into our government!

America, I recently received this video about the growth of Islam in the world. It is eye opening and you must view it to understand where we are today.

Just this last week there were riots in Cologne Germany against one of the largest Islamic mosques being built in that mostly Catholic city.

In Belgium there are so many Muslims that they have their own communities and the police and Belgium people are even afraid to enter in.

In England there are so many that England has granted them the right to practice a form of their Sharia Law in their land negating English law. Sharia Law is the law that treats women lower than their dogs.

Just recently when the US President BOWED DEEPLY before his King Abdullah in Saudi Arabia (the home of Sharia Law) it was noted that just a week before that bow…King Abdullah sentenced a 75 yr old woman to 40 lashes for having her nephew in her home…he had brought her some bread to eat.

I believe that the new President is indeed a Muslim. Recently he put out an order within the White House to hire more Muslims in the White House. Perhaps, after viewing this video you may come to the same conclusion as I did about why he is so for abortion for all of us non-Muslims.

In addition, he is giving millions of our taxpayer dollars today to help the immigration of thousands of Hamas sympathizers from Gaza to be relocated to our shores.

He may even let the “combatants” from Gittmo relocate here in the United States.

Please view the video (it is safe) and see what you can do!

Flip-Flop Flip-Flop, Obozo has no idea what to do. Not just with these prisoners, but at all. If the idiot would just think before he opens his big mouth, but here I go again, thinking this moron can think at all. Never mind.
You libs must be so proud.

The Supreme Court decreed that ist unlawful to knowingly bring terrorists into the US.
If Obama wants to house them in US prisons he would have to reclassify them as other than war on terror prisoners.

See where this is going?

These people are “terrorists” only because someone in the government has chosen to label them as such.

They have not been charged, they have not had trials. They have been rotting in prsion cells without recourse for years.

Give them fair trials or let them go.

I say release them in John Murtha’s district. In fact they might qualify for housing paid for by the Halfrican-in-charge with our tax dollars.

Laffing at Leftists Morons   May 15th, 2009 - 2:25 am

John “I love earmarks but hate rednecks” Murtha? When is that idiot going to lose in court and going to have to pay the Marine a bunch of money out of his pocket?? What a maroon!! Go AWAY you moron YOU!!

Obumbler what a joke and a POS!!

Ninety-nine percent of these people were in the wrong place at the wrong time. We, the people of San Francisco, would be glad to have them live with us. They would be welcome here with open arms. They have been tortured and starved at GITMO and they would be given care and comfort here. We would glad trade the military that is here for them.

Obama is transforming from being naive and stupid to realizing that Bush had it right.
