I, American Zealot

I am writing this post in response to an email I received criticizing Republican Representatives. The mailer’s idea was that our elected leaders shouldn't voice their opposition to transferring suspected terrorists from Guantanamo Bay to prisons in the United States and possibly Kansas.
The suggestion that not blindly following President Obama and Nancy Pelosi makes these Congresspersons “rabid zealots who would bring the USA to ruin" shows how juvenile and immature this person’s argument is.
A recent USA Today/Gallup Poll showed that 65 percent of respondents opposed closing Guantanamo Bay and 74 percent opposed transferring prisoners to the United States. Many of those respondents voted for Obama last November. Are the 74 percent who oppose the Obama/Pelosi agenda and want to keep America safe "rabid zealots," or is it just certain Republican Congresspersons?
Let's keep in mind that Obama keeps going around the world apologizing for America, which isn't going to do anything but embolden America's enemies. I am glad that some Congressional Representatives are standing up for America by standing against the out-of-control policies of President Obama and Nancy Pelosi.
