Dear President Obama, Please Don't Close Gitmo
Edited on Wed Jul-29-09 02:14 PM by Yes We Did
We have people who are absolutely out of their minds and can cause great harm to this county, and Gitmo is exactly the place for them.

If we continue to allow these sort of people to walk our streets, who knows what they will be capable of doing? They're nuts. They're anti-american scum and deserved to be locked up forever.

It's a disease Mr. President... called... Birtheritis. And it's spreading rapidly. We have to fight this before millions are infected.

That's right sir. Those Damned Crazy Birthers. They need to be locked up once and for all, before they destroy this country. I hear some have even infiltrated the republican party! It's time to act sir.

Don't close Gitmo. Fill it with Birthers!

Sincerely,

A Sane Citizen.

edit: just so it's clear :sarcasm:

1. Sorry - I don't believe in torture. Not for republicans, not for Vick, not for birthers.

4. I never said anything about torturing them...
Just put them there. Give them their 3 squares... And let them watch Fox Noise.

They'll be just fine.

9. Ooooh - didn't realize you were just kidding. A lot of DUers are all for torturing people...
republicans, Vick, etc.

Hard to tell when someone's kidding and when they're not.

2. We also have this thing called a constitution which talks about due process.

Gitmo is a travesty and unjustifiable under American law.

3. Funny, but there's one person to keep it open for.
Cheney.

It can be his Spandau Prison.

14. Hey, let's find a compromise solution:
how about giving Gitmo back to Cuba with the condition that they keep the birfers there? ;-)

15. Hey! That works perfectly!
I also thought about moving them all to New Orleans and giving the people who used to live there their homes...

17. I think the Cubans have been crapped on enough. This gang and all of the freeperish
ilk should be sent to Saudi Arabia who hasn't been shit on enough.
