It doesn’t take a trained eye to read through this bogus headline:
Ill. town welcomes plan to house Gitmo detainees
By DEANNA BELLANDI (AP) – 57 minutes ago
THOMSON, Ill. — The White House decision to move up to 100 Guantanamo Bay detainees to this dying Mississippi River town has folks here seeing dollar signs, not suspected terrorists.
Many people in this rural community are hopeful that their willingness to house the prisoners in a nearly empty penitentiary will offer an economic boost — helping to ease steep job losses and dwindling tax revenue needed to fix roads and pay for schools.
“This is probably the economic-development opportunity of a lifetime for northwest Illinois, and we intend to take full advantage of it,” said Russ Simpson, who leads an economic-development group for a three-county area that includes tiny Thomson, about 150 miles west of Chicago.
Where are the interviews with the regular people in the town? I’ll bet this clown, Russ Simpson, is a democrat and doesn’t live within a hundred miles of the place. He probably plans to run for higher office and will get political favors to grease the skids.
There will be thousands of Muslims move there. A mosque on every street corner! There are only 167 students at the combined Thomson Jr Senior High School. That means this small town is being crapped on by the big ol’ Obamao.
Hey Thompson, IL. Hows That Hope and Change Working For You?
