Ever since President Obama has taken office, I feel a certain sense of calm. He is making reasoned, pragmatic decisions based on facts and not ideology. Why the left is hammering him for doing so i find to be disappointing. Remember liberals, we are the smart ones. Let's not pull a Bush and let our gut tell us what to do. We have to remember that we can be right on an issue and wrong on a policy. Obama gets it and it is truly calming to my existential angst.

Not all the time, but sometimes he needs to hammer the living hell out of his critics. Such is the case with the craziness about Guantanamo. He's closing the base. He said he would from the beginning (and so did McCain by the way). There are two groups of people that Obama has to open up a can of whoop-ass on to expose as ignorant morons.

First are those people who want to keep the base open. Really? I haven't heard one coherent argument in support of this. Even if you are pro torture, torturing them there is no different than here. Anything else? I'm really serious.

Ok, those people are a minority and maybe not representative of America. However the majority of Americans don't want detainees in the U.S. What? Why? Again, I have not heard one sane argument. Are people THIS AFRAID of these scary individuals? Since when have the American people been so spineless?

And what exactly are they thinking these detainees are going to do? It's not like these people are being released. They are going to super max prisons!!! So the majority of Americans are so afraid, they don't even want these people going to prisons in the United States? Again, I'm really serious. What's the argument they're making?

Are our prisons not able to hold people? Maybe that's the problem.
