The Real GITMO: Free Healthcare, Movies, TV, Video Games and Detainees Throwing Feces
Townhall.com ^ | February 25, 2016 | Katie Pavlich

For years President Obama and the progressives who support him have classified the prison at Guantanamo Bay, where the United States has housed the world's most dangerous terrorists and enemy combatants for nearly two decades, as a medieval dungeon rife with human rights violations and horrifying conditions. The prison is so bad, according to Obama, it must be shut down in order to protect U.S. dignity.

But the real GITMO is quite another story, with detainees regularly watching movies and cable TV, spending time outside, playing video games, taking advantage of their religious freedom afforded to them by U.S. values, being given medical treatment and more. But as they say, no good deed goes unpunished and detainees often times urinate on guards and throw feces.

My good friend Pete Hegseth, who served in the Army and was stationed for a period at GITMO, recently made a trip to Cuba to show Americans the reality of detainee treatment.

"Bare boned facilities have been replaced with first class accommodations. Their healthcare? Exactly the same as our troops. Plus a library of thousands of DVDs, videos games and over 20,000 books," Hegseth reports from inside the prison.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch reconfirmed Wednesday during congressional testimony that it is illegal to transfer detainees to the United States and said President Obama cannot do it without Congress changing the law.

I CALL BS!!

Detainees at GTMO do not get the same healthcare as troops. Their healthcare is SUPERIOR to anyone in DoD. They have healthcare on demand, to include any and all specialists. Anyone who knows anything about this issue knows it to be true.

One of those 9th Century pig fornicating knuckledraggers would only have to throw **** at me once before I'd make him wish that he had died as a child.

Remember when Trump said ‘beat the crap out of’ tomato throwers?

I can hear him now: ‘Beat the crap out of ‘em. I’m president now. I can pardon you. Waterboard them for information. Heck, waterboard them for the fun of it. It would improve your chances for a promotion. Get’em, boys!’

[But first I hope he videotapes their freakish behavior and broadcasts it to the world.]

A caller the other day on the Howie Carr show ( WRKO Boston 680 ) said something that was so prophetic that when even a grizzly old veteran of political shenanigans like Howie agrees it got my attention...

What the caller said was this.

Obama wants to bring them to the US so that he can Pardon them..

Howie retorted Ford Pardoned Nixon when he was not charged with a crime. If you follow that logic and a "Phone and a Pen" mentality, it is not out of the question.

If Obama gives Gitmo back to the Cubans when he goes their in a week or two, the US will have to take them.

Buckle up folks, their is no telling what Leer Deader will do...

“...over 20,000 books...”

There should be a maximum of 20,000 books allowed.

All of them bibles, of course.

The greatest generation is not in charge anymore. America is full of the same kind of people Germany was. People that think they are Christians in a Christian nation, but too afraid to speak out against their evil, racist, fascist leaders.

That kind of fear and ignorance destroyed Germany. and it will destroy America.

Remember Abu Graib? Well this is how it started, media accusations of prisoner abuse on the front page and in the news for months on end. IMO it became the beginning of the end for success in Iraq, it destroyed the efforts of the Bush administration, the media campaign worked, the public outcry of a Muslim with panties on his head. AND is why GITMO is today, a luxury prison in the Carriebean.

So we don’t have to ask, why is Obama doing this now? A gift to the democrats, along with Trumps Bush lied meme we are going to open the debate again.

These are not humans.

As a consequence of flinging poo, the should be subjected to an loud endless audio loop of Hillary cackling until they agree not to do that again. Backslide? The endless loop again....

Won’t take long to change this behavior.

I hear the several states in which Boobamba intends to release these freaks into the prison populations are up in arms and trying to stop it.

Sheriff Joe Arpio! Oh yeah.

He could plan their day. The excercize bike to generate power for their dinky black and white TV set. Peanut butter sandwiches. Yep. But then he could fly back to to his beloved home county.

Can’t yank that man away from there for long!
