Obama Sending More Terrorists Back To Fight Us?

Matt Margolis

The left-wing opposition to Gitmo undoubtedly resulted in the ill-advised releasing of terrorists who mere went back to their terrorist ways. The Christmas Day bomber was linked to and trained by former Gitmo detainees. Despite this obvious fact Obama seems determined to continue to let terrorists go free. Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs has the details…

Seriously, can any of our left-wing reader justify the continued release of these captured terrorists? Can anyone justify the closing of Gitmo?

If you can do that, and if you have a tax problem, you might be qualified to be in Obama’s cabinet.

2009: In Case You Missed It

Matt Margolis
In reflecting on the past year, I thought I’d mention some of the bigger stories that didn’t get the attention they deserved.

Climategate – An unbelievable blow to the science community that will forever leaves us wondering how objective science really is. This story not only proved the man-made global warming theory to be hogwash, but showed that the mainstream media didn’t care.

The Van Jones and Kevin Jennings Scandals – These two personify the lack of judgment of Barack. Appointing Marxists and pedophiles to high-level government positions, and the mainstream media didn’t cover them.

White House Snitching Story – Criticize Obama’s vision for health care reform? Why, you might just end up being “snitched” on through a White House web form encouraging supporters of Obama to report it. Big Brother, O, Where Art Thou?

ACORN Tapes – Once again, did anyone besides FOX News report on this? This is a story that is likely to keep going on through next year, as BigGovernment.com promises more tapes will be revealed.

Tea Party Protests – Ostrich Syndrome once again. The mainstream media felt that if they ignored the story, it didn’t exist.  With millions of people taking to the streets in their cities across the country, and even collectively in Washington, DC,  these protests against high taxes and expanding government were either ignored or written off as racist.

The Mid-South Ice Storm and The Iowa Floods of 2009 – Two examples of Katrina-like catastrophes with lackluster government response that got virtually no coverage in the national media.

Are there any I’ve missed? Feel free to mention them, and I’ll add to this list.

    Rush Appears To Be Okay, The Left Are The Sick Ones

    Matt Margolis

    The news last night sparked two very different reactions from the right and the left.

    The right were clearly concerned, and offered prayers of support for Rush Limbaugh. He is now reported to be resting comfortably.

    The left… well, there were a number of people on the left who were salivating over the news, and hoping for Rush’s death.

    David over at Race42008 has compiled a selection of such comments from liberals on Twitter.

    All American Blogger has a similar list, plus some comments from other sources.

    More from Politico.

    That Dumbass DCCC

    Matt Margolis

    The DCCC is now claiming that Barack “Close Gitmo” Obama is ‘more aggressive in fighting al Qaeda’ than Bush… Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous and stupid?

    They are saying that Barack Obama, who wants to close Gitmo? The same Obama who is letting the Christmas Day Bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab be tried in civilian court, not a military tribunal?

    Obama’s terrorism-is-a-law-enforcement-issue attitude is the exact reason why former Gitmo detainees like Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab  were let go, only to rejoin the fight against our country.

    UPDATE by Mark Noonan: And more on that roaring, Obama Economic Recovery – U.S. taking majority ownership of GMAC. But, but, but I thought Barry said we’re getting better?
