Some right wingers and talk radio pundits are extolling the horrors of President Obama's recent Christmas golfing vacation in Hawaii with his family. Why are they so against the President taking a vacation? Where were they when Bush was out of office so much and gave his infamous 9-1-1 sound bite that was used in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911". Though much of the film was entertainment, that WAS a valid, unedited shot of President Bush. Why is it that Limbaugh can be an entertainer mixing in HIS truth while others like Moore get skewered for it?
I hear talk radio and others decry the upcoming trials for the terrorists saying they shouldn't be afforded the same rights as Americans. While I agree, I think we as Americans can lead by example and try these combatants in our court system and let justice prevail. We have to put our money where our mouth is on this one, folks

I disagree for the most part. The thing about our court system is that even against overwhelming evidence, testimony, even CONFESSION, the 'perp' may still walk according to our precious and fragile legal system (OJ Simpson- sans confession). It happens here locally all the time. American citizens are either born or jump through a lot of hoops to be Americans. Those who destroy or seek to destroy America and our (sometimes twisted, nearly always imperfect) ways or way of life should be dealt with "by the sword".
