Yippee – Gitmo Jihadists will be living in Michigan?
Thanks to the wisdom of our great leader Barack Obama, Jihadists who were once living in the comfort and safety of Guantanamo Bay, may now be living in your backyard!… Especially if you live in Standish, Michigan.
News reports have been coming out this last week stating that Michigan is a prime place to put these terrorists. Yippee!
I guess this is the icing on the cake for Democrats who have run Michigan into the ground financially. Its bad enough they have one of the highest unemployment rates in the country thanks to their fiscal mismanagement, corruption, and cult like dedication to the welfare state. They now want to put terrorists in within their boarders too.
Can you think of a state that is a bigger circus?.. Maybe California.

The battle over whether Michigan should accept — if offered — Guantanamo Bay terror suspects continues at a town hall meeting Thursday in Standish hosted by critics of the idea.
One of the chief critics of the idea, Rep. Pete Hoekstra of Holland, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, will be there to repeat his warnings that taking the prisoners would make the community a magnet for terrorists. Hoekstra is running for governor.
The Obama administration is looking at the maximum security prison in Standish that Michigan is shutting down as one possible place to move the detainees once Guantanamo Bay closes. President Barack Obama is hoping to close the military detention facility by early next year.
The possibility that Gitmo detainees will be housed at Standish increased after a similar plan to take prisoners from California fell through…
…Also participating are David Littman, senior economist at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy; Thomas Kerrins, chief steward of the Standish corrections officers union; and Debra Burlingame, Founder of 9/11 Families for a Safe and Strong America. Burlingame is also a former attorney, a director of the National September 11 Memorial Foundation and the sister of Charles F. “Chic” Burlingame III, the pilot of American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.
