Yeeeaahhh!
Anyone who looks way back in this blog will see that I supported Obama (this was before he reneged on his promise not to assault my 2A rights and when the other choice was Mitt Romney). Clearly there are those who have spent Obama's whole time in office finding the hints here and there of what is, at best, naivete and, at worst, Muslim sympathizing. I will admit that I have often seen that talk as more than a bit "tin-foil hat" like.
Well, now it would appear that those very issues are on full display in the case of trading Taliban detainees to bring home deserter Bowe Bergdahl. I will not go into full rant and outline mode over this, but will simply summarize and refer the reader to the many blogs that discuss all the problems with this case. No matter what, Obama has gone from a man with potential, to a bumbling unqualified idiot, to a malevolent actor who is really out to do harm to this nation, its military and it values. And, again, I say this as someone who was capable of supporting him when it seemed he meant well even if he was not effective.
So, let's see:
1. Bergdahl is a "hero"? I will simply pull up one of many links where one can read about his "heroism". Hero my ass! No one believes this, but the administration wants to use it. They must have known what a piece of human filth they were trading for. Yes, we don't leave a fellow soldier behind. But when he deserted he was no longer a soldier who was taken, he was a coward who walked into the enemies arms. We can debate whether he even is a man. In any case, this is not a hero marching home from gallant service, not a hero like those who were wounded or lost their lives trying to find him. Now that he is coming home the hero's welcome he deserves is to stand court martial for deserting his unit and collaborating with the enemy and a cell in Leavenworth.
2. Obama broke existing law in order to make this trade. Man, I remember the good old days when we all tore into W for such shit - signing bills into law and then adding "signing statements" that he would ignore them. But, hell, this is the O-man, we were going to have transparent government, no more abuse of power. He can do no wrong apparently. Well, right after we court martial Bergdahl, I would say that impeachment seems a good approach to setting the record straight - we may have let W get away with it, but that has to stop somewhere. Democrats likely let W get away with it, because they would commit the same crimes later.
3. Bergdahl's father has made numerous pro-terrorist and anti-American tweets. He is apparently a whore who will be whatever he needs to be to get his deserter progeny back. In all of this, he decided it was important to praise allah in his White House appearance yesterday and got a nice smile from Obama for it. An Islamic blessing in the White House might be appropriate at some other time, but this is a deserter who abandoned his post and fellow warriors, many of whom ultimately died trying to find him, to go live among and collaborate with Islamic terrorists. This glorifies an enemy's ideology. It is an extremely stupid time to smile at someone standing in front of the people's house, praising allah - only slightly less stupid than it would have been on 9-12. His father is welcoming home a hero of the Taliban to America and the White House. That isn't a smiling matter Mr. President - that was when a president who made an honest mistake would shit himself.
4. Susan Rice cannot be viewed any longer as only a mouthpiece sent out by the administration to make up shit about Benghazi. She now has to be rightfully seen as a truly stupid person who doesn't know shit and is willing to say anything. Sorry, but when we have so many true heroes to honor and some of those saying Bergdahl deserted his post and that good soldiers died trying to find and rescue him, then her report that he "...served with honor and distinction" smells foul - it almost requires tar and feathers. To call him a hero, to call his service honorable and of distinction is to belittle every soldier who ever served, much less stood a post, took fire, hated war, but held strong. Even more so, it dishonors those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
This whole occasion saddens and sickens me as someone who thought Obama had the potential years ago to be a good President. His decisions since re-election, to ignore the law, to push certain rights over others, to use the deaths of children to attack my rights and apparent willingness to break the law, support and promote deserters and their terrorist sympathizer parents has really changed my mind. Once all of the criticism of him and his fake birth certificate and muslim education and leanings seemed like political and partisan bull shit; it now seems much more valid and of an existential nature. He is either stupid or criminal, naive or malevolent - or maybe all of the above.
I suspect this will and hope that it does blow up in Obama's face.
