A City Council in Montana voted 5-0 Tuesday in favor of a proposal to house terror suspects currently detained at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay in their city’s empty jail.
President Obama has 240 terror suspects he has said must be moved out of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, within a year.
Seems like it all fits perfectly. But there’s going to be a storm over this which we’ll cover later. For the sake of argument, let’s say that Montana is going to house the (alleged) jihadists.
One of the nice things about Gitmo was that it’s right on the shores of shark infested waters and therefore escape wasn’t a high priority.
But if this Montana prison begins housing detainees, the inmates might be alerted to the fact that while there are not a lot of sharks in Montana they’ll be surrounded by…something slightly more dangerous.
The guards should make it clear to the detainees that they’re not protecting the Montana populace from the detainees, they’re protecting the detainees from the Montana populace. This video from Al Jazeera should be required viewing for all former Gitmo detainess before their move to Montana.
After watching that, the detainees will be asking the guards to make sure the gates are locked.

Oh yes!! I know now where I’m moving. I hope Obama takes them up on their offer.
Two problems: First, the “brainiacs” from DC will want to sneak in their henchmen with their soon to be signed and adopted “international gun treaties” and tell these good people that they will have to turn in their guns.
Secondly, if the jihadists know they are surrounded by citizens with guns, they (and their ultra-left friends) will say that “knowing” that constitutes “torture”.
Now, if these great and heroic patriots of Montana can fight off the tyranny of the Obama regime and actually pull this off without losing their rights, I will be hitching up my UHaul and finding me some land and a Latin Mass nearby.
You see, I’m a pragmatist and an optimist. Practically speaking, if the jihadists decide to be foolish enough and make a break for it, the citizens then can defend themselves and our country.
Optimistically speaking, if they escape and make it as far as my place nearby that Latin Mass, they just might be converted.
After all, remember that the Latin Mass had been described as the most beautiful thing next to Heaven. Didn’t these characters say that they are doing this to get to Heaven? Well, bring it on guys, we’re ready.
DOMINUS VOBISCUM!!

why I love Northwest Montana. Hope I never have to leave it! But we have to be vigilant in keeping liberal wackos from taking over here as well. They would love to take away our guns.

If the US ever asked its citizens to turn in firearms en masse you would see a revolt rather quickly.
Too many people on both sides of the democrat/republican line believe in dire need of the 2nd amendment.
A interesting contrast would be two large cities, Chicago (no carry) and another large city with a large population of gun activists who can carry firearms. Check the crime rates.

That’s very funny; because unlike temporarily reformed St. Joe frat boys, the poeple of Montana are murderous fanatics. How old do you kids have to be before they can run away from your home?
