Megyn Kelly’s stunned reaction to this news pretty much says it all.

You really just have to shake your head and wonder what is going on here. Somehow, we have $750,000 available in the budget to spend on a soccer field for our captured enemy combatants at Gitmo. At the same time, Obama is proposing to jack up the cost of healthcare benefits for our troops – because we don’t have the money for that, apparently. Truly outrageous.

    I thought O’ closed that place. Just kiddin’. His mouth was moving when he said that. It was also moving when he complained about the temporary spike in gas prices under Bush. Though it wasn’t moving at all when he promised to cut the deficit in half was it? That was Biden displaying his venerable ventriloquist skills…with Obama as his dummy.

    That’s whatchacall a double-dummy scenario :-)

      Music, entertainment, enjoyment, singing and sports… it’s all haram (forbidden) in Islam. Therefore they should be declared apostate and subject to beheading for violating basic mohamaden tenants of Islam should their flabby muslim asses set foot in the rec center or on the soccer field.

      I just hate having to use muslim terminology for anything.

      But Meagan Kelly is never “haram” in my books. I never tire of her reports. Never!

      One more shinning example of why Government needs to be cut off at the knees, wait, no make it cut off at the waist. How in the hell can they justify building a 3/4 million dollar soccer field for our enemies? Unreal! The political correctness has climbed to insane levels in our bloated fat cat government and this has to stop!

      Honestly, how can anyone expect people in this country not to snap and go ballistic over ridiculous spending of our tax dollars like this. This is an outrage and I believe it was done to piss off the people but for what reasoning I can’t understand.

      Ocandyazz said he was going to shut down Gitmo but instead he makes it a 4 star resort for our enemies? God do I despise this man, his administration and his sick ideology.

  • Nukeman60

    Come on, people. The soccer field didn’t cost that much. You all should know that.

    What cost so much was the rows of prayer rugs lined in gold, the soccer balls engraved in gold with sayings from the Koran, and finally, the escape tunnel to Havanna. Do you know how much it takes to dig that far. Really, now!

  • http://www.facebook.com/susan.leach1 Susan Leach

    Some days I wonder why we keep trying to stop this insanity. They DOD wants active duty families and retirees to pay more for their medical insurance because they are so broke, but they had the better part of 3/4 of a million dollars to spend on MURDERS. No wonder the jihadi’s laugh at us.

    And they spent in on a flipping soccer pitch? The one game that the vast majority of American can’t stand and they spend our tax dollars. Don’t jump on me you few soccer fans out there. The it is boring and when they start with the vuvuzalas…..shudder. Like being inside a swarm of bees. And…if you want to see a tackle, check out Ray Lewis, that is a tackle.

  • unclesamnephew

    will this new field have skyboxes, jumbo tron, and food vendors (serving pork based foods)? will there be tv revnues of the games broadcast?

    • KenInMontana

      I think if we asked them real nicely, we could get those Marine EOD guys at Gitmo to hide some landmines in the field, just to liven up the game a bit. ;)

    Every American enslaved by Food Stamps and Welfare needs to know about this.

If they knew about this would they continue to vote for the slave master (aka the Food Stamp President)?

      Do you suppose the Jihadi’s want to send their kids there for the summer? Paid for by a government grant, of course.

        I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if we are paying for their college courses and degrees too over there at The Gitmo Hilton Paradise. With our Government capable of these kinds of assinine actions I really do wonder if it isn’t already too late to save our nation, just complete insanity.

        • Is_Sense_Common

          Of course we are paying for those things. We really don’t want to know all we’re paying for. So as our budget for the enemy rises, somehow the only budget in the US gov’t that can be cut is for our Military. Hmph. My head is just spinning with this insanity.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1497076194 Travis Pierson

    If Gitmo has provided the incentive to become a jihadi the way Obama has claimed, it can only be because the prisoners there have little they have to do and still enjoy a much, much higher standard of living than the average citizen in any Islamic country… and this just increased the odds of more young men lining up to get nabbed.

    • http://no-apologies-round2.blogspot.com/ AmericanborninCanada

      I’d say they have a higher standard of living than many of the new poor dear leader has created. But good point Travis.

  • TPDanbo

    This is just another fine example of Obama looking out for his friends and allies!

  • Sober_Thinking

    They are prisoners. War criminals. Suspected terrorists. Lock them each up in a small cell, isolate them, feed them (because we have to), and ensure they remain locked up and guarded. As far as criminals in the U.S., same thing… they are all in jail for a reason. Stop pandering to them. Quit treating them to a “resort” existence. Don’t make it pleasant for them. The world already thinks we’re being inhumane, so quit making it politically correct and plush for these criminals and animals! They are being punished NOT rewarded!

    How hard is this for the government to figure out? Idiots!

  • Sober_Thinking

    Actually, save the tax payer money. If they are known terrorists and you caught them red handed, fly them out over the Atlantic ocean and drop them in for a nice refreshing swim… 150 miles off the coast.

    Wait a minute here. How come Gitmo wasn’t closed within the first year of Obama’s presidency as he promised? Personally, I knew he was lying about that one, but still. Now, we are improving the facility? Is it even possible that the left in this country doesn’t notice this? Or are they so pathetically democrat that they pretend not to notice? Seems to me that only the right in this country holds its own to the values it holds dear. Apparently on the left, bags of crapola just swing around and wherever they hit on the wall, that’s where the values are.

    She said one of the reasons they wanted to build the soccer field is because it encourages the detainees to follow the rules or be highly compliant, I think that guns and tazers can do that at a much cheaper price.

    $750,000.00, that’s the initial cost. Of course, being a government project, we should expect overruns. Who knows what the actual cost is going to be, and then you have to put into the budget an annual maintenance expense, not cheap. Oh, I forgot, we don’t use a budget anymore, not really needed.

    $750,000.00 for a soccer stadium? Big freakin’ deal. We’re lucky the hundreds who were innocent, but detained for years and tortured everyday can’t sue our bleeping asses for a thousand times that much. When are Americans going to stop behaving just the way the Founding Fathers didn’t want us to? Arrogant, believing there’s nothing to improve, and we’re always right. Don’t blame Obama for the shitbag treatment the soldiers are getting. Look at the voting records of our flag waving, support the troops driveling, republicans like McCain, and see what they’ve done for them. Hypocrites.
