If somebody comes into your home on your soil with the intent to do harm to you or yours, do you do everything in the realm of possibilities to protect your family or do you worry about the law????

Makes it real simple doesn't it ???

Oh and one other thing please quit refering to Detriot as the Big 3, only 2 are failing, and got a bail out... Ford stands alone as of right now !!!!!

In that scenario, the Gitmo response would be to take the intruder, tie him up and lock him in the basement for an unspecified period of time with no real intent on ever calling the police....

Actually what we have been doing is more like going to a neighbor's house and taking his cousin who was accused (by parties unknown) of saying something nasty about us behind our backs and locking him indefinitely in a dog kennel on anther block because we are afraid that one day he may decide to come to our house and throw a rock through our window.

The problem I had with the original article is that it makes a completely false description of the President's intentions. Obama has never advocated nationalization of any industry. It was, in fact, Bush who started this process. This is typical right-wing debate tactics. They create a straw man, claiming all sorts of false intentions on the part of their opponents, and then use that to denigrate them. It's kind of like progressives campaigning against conservatives by claiming that they'll take people who disagree with them, load them on boxcars and put them in camps. Very inflammatory argument, but hardly true.

The article recites one of the more recent conservative themes -- the completely ridiculous notion that the New Deal actually prolonged the Great Depression. These right wing apparatchiks are nothing if not on-message.

The right wing folks really hate it that Obama didn't run from the far left. Right now, they feel the need to portray him that way, because they can't accept the idea that they've gotten their butts kicked for good reason. But their recent rhetoric, in which they express their intentions to block anything the Democrats try to do, is troubling. Their efforts to portray Obama's efforts to save the economy as "socialism" should be seen as what they are: a desperate effort on the part of adherents of a rejected ideology to turn the tide of their richly-deserved defeat.

If you want to know what Obama's intentions are, listen to Obama, not his opponents.

Yes, the big picture. Who helped Saddam arm his armies in the first place?
