Hitler was elected,as was Chavez.
I would hardly compare our current administration with that of Nazi Germany.

Sigh... you miss the point entirely in your knee jerk response.

Hitler was elected,he was a rather bad person all round,however using your position as he was elected he was the leader of the German people,even those who did not support him.

The left has to have its enemy....it has basically invented an enemy in the 'evil white racist militia' and the useful idiots believe them.

Eeehhhh.

People stocked up on provisions and firearms b/f 2000, thinking the world was coming to an end and once the infrastructure crashed, roaming bands of marauders would assault us all and take our goods and our lives.

There have always been militia out there . . . the nutcases almost always act alone.

“Leavenworth is not suitable for the 100 most dangerous terrorists in the world,” Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) said on a conference call with reporters, hosted by the Republican National Committee. “Not in Kansas, not in my backyard.

“I am going to do everything I can to block this, even if it means shutting down the Senate.”

Standish is in Michigan’s first congressional district, represented by Democrat Bart Stupak. But Mike Rogers, who represents Michigan’s eighth congressional district, expressed his outrage on the call for the possibility of moving the inmates to his state.

“These are people who are highly trained and motivated to commit jihad and murder,” Rogers said. “No amount of money can be thrown at these states that will make this safe and acceptable.

He continued, “Come to Michigan, the state that holds the world's most dangerous terrorists; this is not a great selling point."

"It is not a shock to me that even the Saudis would say absolutely not; we don’t want them,” Rogers said of Saudi Arabia declining to take inmates.

why would any administration want to import jobs out and terrorists in?
Yes, I agree we should keep Gitmo open just for the RW Freaks...
In a side note; why do the GOP as a party always keep their constituents living in fear?

The legal framework is already in place and all the government has to do is use it to shut the right wing kooks, mouthpieces and militias down cold! So while we protested things such as warrantless searches and wiretaps and black list, perhaps we were wrong. Perhaps President Bush and now President Obama were right in that these can be useful tools to rid ourselves of terrorist- both foreign and domestic.

That would be an act of terrorism and treason. We have camps available for those that try it!
