In anticipation of the Obama administration’s move to close down Guantanamo Bay, House Republicans introduced legislation that would have prevented Gitmo detainees from being brought to the United States. But the Democrats, who have a majority in Congress, did not allow the legislation to move out of committee.

Is THAT all the GOP plans to do? Introduce legislation? We are AT WAR here. Where are the MEN OF ACTION in Washington?

What part of "all enemies foreign and domestic" don't these clowns get? In this case, we have BOTH KINDS of enemies working together, yet they can't get beyond this stupid PROCESS stuff!

You’d have them build a bunker on the right side of Congress and start lobbing grenades? :-)

The Dems have just solidified the party’s reputation for weakness and appeasement for another generation.

I’d have them CLOG THE STREETS with PATRIOTS! We also need to send a STRONG signal to the military that the majority of Americans will stand behind anyone who refuses to carry out an ILLEGAL order from the Kenyan Usurper. Barry has no authority to call off the GWOT and bring the terrorists here for a three hots and a cot!

It's not "weakness and appeasement." It's collaboration, plain and simple. They are the Vichy French of our time.

I think it’s alinksy tactics - exploit the system until it crushes under its own weight.

Obama said to his cronies (2008) to get in people’s faces.

Now it’s spit in their faces.

And if the Democrats are actively and knowingly aiding and abetting the work of the enemy, what does that make them?

Of course the funny thing is that the only thing restraining people like me from exacting very personal justice on these traitors is that very system.

When the system goes, the restraint goes.

And a flood of justice will wash over these evil parasites.

The GOP politicians "AS A GROUP" need to be pounding on this 24/7. So far I've not seen them do it. The lazy *astards seem to be content leaving it to Rush, Hannity, Levin etc. to do the heavy lifting.

I’d say there needs to be a bon voyage party for those Guito detainees - why, we could buy BALLOON BOY’s aparatus and fly it over GITMO filled with funfetti and other lovely gifts to our enemies!

So if NYC has another terrorist attack, during the trial, can it be blamed on Obama and Eric Holder, since they’re the ones pushing for this?

Why don’t you become a “MAN OF ACTION” and run for office and show them how?
