Hope and Change?
The Obama administration needed something to take the Media spotlight off Benghazi, NSA, the VA and all the other scandals, so they released five Taliban combat commanders to get back Bowe Bergdahl. PFC Bergdahl allegedly: (1) wandered off ‘intoxicated’ with his Afghani friends in search of more intoxicants; (2) deserted because he disagreed with the war, or (3) deserted to intentionally collaborate and aid the Taliban. In 2010 he allegedly converted to Islam and declared ‘Jihad’, and has been accused of deliberately teaching the Taliban fighters about US tactics, weapons, and explosives.
Not only did Obama trade the Taliban five of their best ‘generals’ for a traitor, but broke a law that his party endorsed and he signed, as well as over 200 years of American tradition of not trading with terrorists. Another “phony scandal”, or blatant disregard for our laws, Congress, the military, and the American People? And why was this deserter promoted to Sargent, for ‘time served’? Why does Obama give Bergdahl’s father media focus for being pro-Taliban? Is this just a way to empty Gitmo and make Obama (and the Taliban) look good? Isn’t this going to encourage the Islamists and other criminals to kidnap Americans? More “unintended consequences”? Duh? Even Democrats like the Uber-Lib/Prog Diane Feinstein question this flagrant usurpation of power.
The other thing that The Bergdahl Fiasco is over-shadowing is the enactment of reams of bureaucratic regulations that are intended to enforce some “Cap and Trade” Executive Order in B. Hussein Obama’s personal jihad against The American Economy for the “Global Warming” hoax. They were forced to admit that the economy is shrinking in the first quarter of 2014, and then blamed it on the exceedingly harsh winter.Washington dingbats are committed to “Cap & Trade” at all costs and refuse to recognize that any time the real ‘economic growth rate’ does not significantly exceed the real ‘inflation rate’, the economy is definitely shrinking. And it has been for this entire Administration! (It started under Bush, but the underlying cause was the “Mortgage Meltdown” caused by Liberal Democrat policy. As a young man, Obama was the ACORN attorney in Buyuks-Roberson vs CitiBank that was a major cause in the unsound mortgage practices that led to that massive failure, so he is directly, hands-on responsible for it.) This new attack on our economy and energy production will cost about $2 trillion in the GDP, add scores of new taxes and ‘hidden costs’, and directly cost us about $2000/year per household. This is an “Obama Recovery”?!?
This will cause more Federal debt and deficits, more money ‘created’ by the FED with nothing to back it. Obama has made the “Full faith and credit of the United States” into some twisted joke. If we lose World Reserve Currency status for the dollar, it will soon be become little more than elaborately engraved pretty pictures, like Liberal magazine covers, and about as valuable. You may think I’m a panic-mongering doom-sayer, but economic history is on my side. No currency or country has long survived such debasement. We have only gotten away with it this long because of our unique status as a superpower and the World Reserve Currency. the ‘superpower status’ has been intentionally destroyed and the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, & China) and other developing nations do not want to sell their products and natural resources for inflated and failing dollars. Is this from Obama’s incompetence, blind adherence to failed ideology, or the triumph of the Cloward-Pivens Strategy?
We are seeing thousands of illegal aliens caught weekly, including unaccompanied children, because of Obama’s ‘Dream Act’ and non-deportation policies. This is causing a huge shortage of facilities to house, process, and especially care for the children. Michelle Obama has declared a ‘Hashtag” war against Boko Harum for capturing Nigerian girls and marrying them off to their jihadists, but cares nothing for the thousands of girls being raped and many forced into prostitution here by the Cartels and coyotes. As horrific as the Nigerian girls’ situation is, at least they get the ‘respect’ of a Muslim marriage and presumably only one abuser/rapist. Is this ‘New Emergency’ just another ‘unintended consequence’? If so, Obama and his minions are totally incompetent! Practically anyone that lives in the Southwest knew that the promise of amnesty and easy welfare with no real threat of prison and deportation would bring a flood of illegals. This surge also helps to hide the dozens of enemy Islamic Jihadist agents that are coming here to do us harm.
A young Marine, a wounded combat veteran, is imprisoned in Mexico for getting in the wrong lane near the border and having his guns in the car. Our government can do nothing? How about closing the border from the Pacific to the Colorado River except for Mexicans going home? Cut all aid to Mexico? Start deporting every Mexican in the country illegally? The Federales would get him to the border and release him fast enough then. Ten million Mexican illegals for a USMC Sargent, now that is trade I could support!
Crazy people commit crimes with guns and the Lib-Progressive answer is always to disarm the law-abiding people. And the Libs say, “Crazy people must be “mainstreamed” not “warehoused”, it’s their RIGHT!” We NEED the right to fight back, and have the Second Amendment to back it up.
Hope and Change? Not hardly, more like Hoax and Chains!
