Gitmo to Suburban Virginia?

Who could have predicted this? Who indeed. Clueless Democrats in newly Blue State Virginia are perturbed that Gitmo detainees may be sent to their backyard. I've said for a long time liberals view their conservative neighbors as more suspect than terrorists, alleged or actual. But now they may be mugged, or worse, into reality. The Patriot Room, "Gitmo Detainees Coming to Virginia, Local Dems Freak":

Rich, thick irony. Normal people think it's a good idea to keep terrorists on a faraway island, in a prison controlled by the United States military. Liberals disagree, for no readily apparent reason, and want Gitmo closed. So President Obama says he will close it next year.

But closing the base raises the question that any grade school child (but apparently no liberals) might ask; what do we do with the terrorists who want to kill us and destroy our cities? Barack Obama (in another manchurian president decision) thinks we should bring them to the United States to be nearer to our people and population centers. The administration has previously floated the idea of bringing them to South Carolina, but the left didn't care about that - after all, South Carolina is a red state.

But this morning, the liberal Democrats who run Alexandria, Virginia open their beloved Washington Post to find that their beloved president wants to bring terrorists to Northern Virginia. And the wailing from the NIMBY lefties began.

An outcry is growing in Alexandria over a prospect no one seems to like: terrorist suspects in the suburbs.

RedState with a pithy comment.
