FIRST CLASS TICKETS FOR TERRORISTS
Today President Obama announced that more than 70 detainees from Guantanamo Bay will be moved and housed indefinitely in Thomson, Illinois. The Obama Administration has yet to explain how transferring these terrorists to American soil will make our country safer. While the president may see a change in venue as a way to win approval overseas, I see it as a first class ticket to the United States for terrorists who seek to harm Americans.
Terrorists who kill innocent people and do not abide by international law should not be housed on U.S. soil and granted the same rights as American citizens. President Obama and House Democrats support the idea of bringing terrorists onto U.S. soil as a way to honor the Constitution. Bringing terrorists to the U.S. and affording them constitutional protections does just the opposite – it weakens our judicial system and undermines our Constitution.

I know this might not be the most appropriate place to post this but for other readers living in the USA are you concerned about the debt? It just seems like it is getting to the point where the country is going to go bankrupt and my husband and I are just a little concerned that our kids and grandkids are going to have some big problems in a few years. Thanks for letting me vent, Sara

When the US Supreme (idiot) Court overturned campaign finance laws which will allow corporations and foreign governments to essentially buy US elections, I decided it’s time for me to give up on voting, except at my local level. I’m done. What’s the point now?
