No Hoekstra in Illinois

The hate Bush/America crowd that worked up their base into a frenzy, managed to get Barak Obama to promise if elected, to close Guantanamo (Gitmo) prison within a year. We have learned now, that Obama believes that the government should run like a community organization. He, as the community organizer should simply be able to give a motivational speech, and others should be inspired to follow his dream. Well, wake up. This is reality. Obama never really had a plan as to what to do with the prisoners. He assumed that other people would volunteer to solve the problem. That’s what happens in the NGOs and other organizations that Obama has a history with. In fact, the ideal solution to all public policy issues is to first have a community organization get its network to find a voluntary solution. Likeminded, loosely connected organizations that all favor a socialist (progressive) agenda are able to find someone for every particular need. Don’t be offended by this idea. The Christian Church was founded on this principle. If however, the voluntary solution proves limited or slow in results, then legislative action is pursued. Finally, if that fails, then a direct appeal to the judicial activism will trump all.
The Obama administration honestly believed that they merely had to speak to closing Gitmo and liberal states would step up to the plate. This did happen. Many states like Michigan volunteered to take the problem off Obama’s hands. Then we the people spoke. It became apparent very quickly that most Americans had a problem with bringing terrorists to the states and treating them as common criminals with the protections of the constitution. After being shot down in all other states, Obama returned to his home state, where politics is done with twisted arms and purchased favors, to find a solution.
Congratulations Illinois. Your former senator, now president is gifting you with the lowest and most dangerous type of humans; those that take innocent life with pride. Michigan citizens should feel great pride in themselves for standing up and resisting. But even more so, they owe a great debt of gratitude to U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra for fighting so aggressively to keep Michigan from being the volunteer to solve Obama’s Gitmo problem.
