Come to think of it, Gitmo should be left alone, as many politicians are going to have to call this 'home!'
Illegitimates by the dozens has produced terrorism on American soil! Fifty years ago, who would have thought this type of behavior would be the ruination of a once great country? Why would politicians continue to think Taxpayers are going to fund all the illegitimates just so they can get elected? It's time to stop social and welfare programs! Approximately 40% of people working, paying taxes, 20% retired with very little income, how can politicians think that Americans will continue to pay for the 40% non-productive, non working, illegitimates, living off the system, and be able to keep this ignorance up! FIGURES DON'T ADDD UP, NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL! The following article sent to me best describes what our "system" has become in past five decades! ============================================================================== Ice Cream & The Election Excellent analogy! Who worries about "the cow" when it is all about the "Ice Cream? The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year. The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot. The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother. The day arrived when they were to make their speeches Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Everyone applauded. He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. Her speech was concise. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down. The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." She surely could say more. She did not have to. A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it? She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream. Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide. Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and sixty percent of the people reacted like nine year olds. They want ice cream. The other forty percent of us know we're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess.

Re: Alcatraz, it's a pity Devil's Island is now a tourist resort, apparently. What the UK and US should do is establish a similar colony somewhere off the coast of South America and deposit their combined undesirables there. Maybe they could be used to convert part of the jungle into viable plantations. Successive cash crops might help pay back some of the taxpayers' funds expended keeping them in captivity.

I'm quoting today's news -"Obama warns of catastrophe if stimulus delayed! Obama urged members of Congress "to act without delay" while also promising to "work to make it stronger." WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS 'SCARE TACTIC' APPROACH? Politicians seem to stop at 'nothing' to steal Taxpayers money. IT'S TIME TO STOP THE 'SCARE TACTICS' BEING USED ON THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS! JUST THINK, ONLY 40% working, paying Taxes, that have a job at present, 20% retired, the OTHER 40% living off social and welfare programs, never worked and don't intend to. The figures no longer add up for the high dollar politician's salaries and retirements. The 'tax & spenders' sold Americans' jobs, and 'GUESS WHAT, FOLKS, THERE AIN'T NO MORE MONEY!' It's time to cut politicians salaries and retirements to $12,000.00 year, pay off trillions of debt to foreign countries they sold America to. Incidentally, if Obama and the rest of the tax & spenders were so worried about the economy, why would they take high-dollar vacations, ride around in high dollar gas guzzlers with armed guards, stay/and or live in the most exclusive places, and 'rob' the few Taxpayers, that still have jobs at present, until they don't have enough money to pay their mortgages, let alone buy the necessities for their own families? GOES TO SHOW TAXPAYERS THEY ALL HAVE THEIR 'HANDS IN THE TIL' AND THAT 'NO ONES' BEEN CHECKING BEHIND ALL THESE 'FAT CATS' IN POLITICS WHO'S GETTING ALL THE EXTRAS FROM LARGE CORPORATIONS WANTING BAILOUTS AND HANDOUTS, AND NOW, AMERICA IS FACED WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY THE INTEREST ON THE TRILLION DOLLAR NOTES THESE IGNORANT 'FAT CATS' BORROWED FOR THEMSELVES, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF TAXPAYERS, AND THEY'RE NOW USING 'SCARE TACTICS' ON THE TAXPAYERS, SO THEY CAN 'STIMULATE' THEIR OWN DEEP POCKETS!' AMAZING? TAXPAYERS SAY '"KEEP 'GITMO' AS THESE 'FAT CATS' SHOULD BE CALLING THIS PRISON HOME!"
