Palin to Obama: 'You Blew It' on POW Exchange, Destroyed Morale

On Monday, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin slammed President Barack Obama for trading five high-level terrorists for an American prisoner of war who reportedly deserted his troops five years ago and caused at least six soldiers to die while searching for him.

"You blew it again, Barack Obama," Palin said, slamming Obama for "negotiating away any leverage against the bad guys as these bad guys – Osama Bin Laden's partners in evil crime – joyfully celebrate their 'win' in the deal you sealed."

In a post titled, "Commander-in-Chief's Definition of 'Honorable Service' Includes Anti-American Actions While in Uniform; He Just Destroyed Troop Morale," Palin ripped National Security Adviser Susan Rice for saying on Sunday that Bowe Bergdahl had served with "honor and distinction."

"No, Mr. President, a soldier expressing horrid anti-American beliefs – even boldly putting them in writing and [unabashedly firing off his messages] while in uniform, just three days before he left his unit on foot – is not 'honorable service,'" Palin wrote ."Unless that is your standard."

When you are writing to reach the middle few - those that are not persuaded but are persuadable, you don’t use such rhetoric. You write in certain terms, but without the jagged edge.

Palin’s handling of her message on this will be more effective in reaching those that do not currently stand on the conservative side than the bombast you are demanding. Wisdom is more than a daily portion of red meat.

I regret my near decade of service to protect the liberties granted to us by God. We now have a society that is advocating for evil and a populace that confirmed their desire for such advocacy in November 2012.
