Never will everyone be happy with everything, get over it and move on.... X

so why don't you do what you preach hypocrite?

But I am confident that my positions are generally the right positions to have as an american

so what holy being gave you the end all be all view on everything? so because i disagree with you on an issue i'm a crying liberal? i'm just as american as you buddy.
i've done it in the past and will continue to argue why you think they way you do. just because you are "in the middle and independent" that everyone else has to think like you? that is always my question to you X, why are you always right and everyone else wrong? if you are in the middle, and I am in the middle, but I disagree with you on an issue, why are you right and i'm wrong? why? you have one crazy ego my friend...

i think you have some bitterness that because you voted against obama and dont agree with things on him you have to constantly bash everyone that may agree with some of his policies.

you said it best - get over it and move on....
you have your opinion, other people have theirs. stop trying to win everyone over and prove your view is correct. post your opinion and be done with it.

Six, where did I say that "closing gitmo means releasing the prisoners"? All I said is that Obama talked about closing the prison in gitmo when he ran for the job. Now people are all mad about these terrorists ending up here. Well, they will end up somewhere, and it will be on american soil. You can stop with your "I'm a conservative" argument because I dont really care how you define your politics (though conservatives arent usually appeasers). I dont want to think like, or be compared to you. You seem to have some sort of problem with my thinking, which would make you something less than conservative. I am right smack in the middle politically, more of an independent thinking american, but I tend to lean right these days. I dont vote for the same party every election cycle. I vote for the one who will do the least amount of damage. Dont confuse that with voting for the best candidate, because there is never a good one. Politics is all lies and back room dealings by crooked politicians. If you think that politicians are noble human beings, you are way off track with your thinking.

If you believe that giving these terrorists an opportunity to get american trial rights by bringing them here is a good idea, you are a liberal first and foremost. I say we send them back to the countries they came from. Some countries are demanding we send their citizens back, but these countries execute terrorists and our bleeding hearts wont allow for this. I'll tell you like I tell everyone else, "six" -- you can either read me and disagree, agree, or dont read my posts at all. It doesnt matter to me if people dont like what I have to say. But I am confident that my positions are generally the right positions to have as an american. If you dont think so, think about what this country would be like if everyone gave in to the liberal ideals. We would give up everything that people died for all these years. And for what? For promises of protection from ourselves?

Never will everyone be happy with everything, get over it and move on.... X

Just slaughter a pig in front of them and splash pig blood on them and they will kill themselves. Problem solved. Thank me.

Yes I am. And you calling me names does not change that. I will say this again. Close GITMO does not mean let them go free. Being liberal, should be defined by a liberal, you are self-professed, not part of the group, so why do you try to sound informed?

Having a liberal v. conservative argument without being a liberal is just hot air.

Let me lay it out for you like this. Liberals are bleeding hearts. The would rather see these terrorists set free on the streets of america than to be locked up in a prison. The only reason that any of the liberals wants these people to come to the US is so they can try and get them some american rights. Of course these terrorists havent earned any rights, but the bleeding heart seems to think they are somehow more deserving than a natural born citizen.

You arent a conservative, so dont even try and hide behind that facade. I am right in the middle. Liberals like you are so entrenched in the propoganda that you think anyone who isnt 100% behind your politics is a right wing lunatic. Pretty sad when a moderate thinking person is lumped in with the guy that murdered the abortion doctor just because they dont get in line for the "new world order". I let my thinking be done by me. I'll stick with that until someone else comes up with a reason to only think their way.... X

X, you say things as if the assumption you stand on is the only possible one.

Pretty simple. Close Gitmo does not equal WALK FREE.

Stop with the liberal bash. I would call you a conservative, but that gives me a bad name. And you are way too out there for the Green Party, but you have some good facts, just go down one trail, without seeing a turn halfway from here to there. You can move any of these terrorists to any number of military prisons in the world. Levenworth is a good place. But for how long?

So, 69,492,376 people voted for Obama. It would be real interesting to find out just how many of those were fraudulent ACORN votes. I'd say, as many as it took to win the election. Election was a lot closer than most media would have you believe. Any bets where these terrorists end up and if any of them ultimately walk free on US soil?

69,492,376 people cant be wrong...can they? Thats is how many votes Obama recived on election day last year. If you went and voted and your vote was for Barack Hussein Obama, you voted to have terrorists housed in the UP. He said over and over and over that he was going to close gitmo and move the prisoners. Where did you all think they were going to go? They are american prisoners, so we are responsible for them, so they come here. He didnt say they would be brought to the UP, but they are going to end up somewhere if gitmo prison closes as scheduled. I do like how all the liberals are crying now. They let their unfounded hatred for the ex-president boil over into a vote for a person who is completely unqualified for the job. I will give Obama credit, aside from lying about taxes and health care, he is doing about what he said. I dont agree with his policies (thats why i voted the other way), but I do respect a person who does what they say. All I can say to the liberals here is, quit complaining about what Obama does. Of course you all seem to find a way to point a finger at someone else every time things go bad. Now you only have yourselves to blame. You voted him into office, now take what you got. Pretty simple really.... X

Yeah Ed,
that's a job I'd stay in the U.P. for, guarding Muslim terrorists. For real? Heck I'd consider moving outa the U.P and the USA for that matter if these detainees are allowed on US soil. Heck, as has been stated, Al Qaida better hurry cause Obama's beating them to the punch...

I'd love to have these America haters in the U.P. LOL. If Obama wants these thugs in the USA and the U.P. then I say put em as close as we can get em to our constituents in D.C. and see how they like it.

I think an editorial in our local paper says it best: "The politicians released the rabbit, the hounds of the media picked up the scent, and we're off to the races!" It's not going to happen, so lets stop the silliness. Please get to work on what we sent you to Lansing to do. We are hurting in Michigan!

I think that the jobs that this would make would insure that my children have the option of staying in the UP after graduation. I am sure that the Men and Women of the Department of Correction can handle these men in a manner that you would be proud of with out any risk to to the people of Michigan.

Not up here! the up is not iraq or pakastan.Lets send them to DEERBORN with the rest of their kind.We would be better off not housing them up here,If they escape can we go terroist hunting? probaly not.

Well DUH Lindberg-Many of us in the U.P(Obviously not you or your Liberal Friends) were on the Receiving end of these Scumbags.
If you want them up here I want them to be in YOUR Backyard. And If they are going to be Guests of the U.P you make sure they get work release.
What a Maroon who has to take a trip to find out what the Real U.P thinks of these "People"

Is it our patriotic duty to take the Gitmo prisoners? The U.P. hosted 1,098 German POW's from 1944-1946; they were housed in old CCC camps with not much of a fence and guard towers with men armed with pistols and carbines. The POW's even brewed their own moonshine under the barracks. I know these Gitmo prisoners are a different breed, but maybe a little snow, -30 degree weather, and mosquitos, woodticks, and gnats will turn them into jelly. That seemed to cure a few SS guards back in the old POW camps.

We would be plumb proudsome to host some of the Gitmo group. Jobs are too scarce to be particular, besides we need to mix up the Finnish gene pool here.

Typical Lindberg! Doesn't want to take a stance or stand up against anything...he just thinks it's un-popular...

Of course it's un-popular! These guys want to talk about keeping the great lakes clean but then they want to pollute the UP with potential terrorist prisons????

These guys are more beatable than ever come election time.

I would have more respect for Lindberg if he would take a stance and maybe challenge Stupak on the garbage he is spitting right now...but that would be too much to ask.

Tough talk against terrorist prisons means re-election....supporting it or seeeming like you support them means you loose your seat....quote me!
