Palin Facebook Statement - Bergdahl
Facebook ^ | 3/26/15 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 03/26/2015 8:12:14 PM PDT by Resettozero

When President Obama traded one deserter for five evil terrorists hell-bent on destroying America, rational people did not believe the Obama administration’s claims about this traitor’s “health crisis,” or claims that he served “with honor and distinction,” and certainly not President Obama’s claim that this was a good deal for America.

After putting the country in danger, President Obama celebrated Bergdahl in our Rose Garden, arm in arm with his smiling father greeting Americans in Arabic and Pashtu, as our loyal troops cringed. In fact, in the days that followed, the Obama administration actually smeared the vets who came forward to tell the truth about Bergdahl’s traitorous desertion.

Now finally public disclosure tells the truth – that Bergdahl is a deserter. In my book, he is a traitor. Also, reports show the majority of the terrorist leaders Obama set free in exchange for this deserter have taken steps to hook up with the enemy – their Taliban pals in Afghanistan. As rational Americans predicted, the prisoners didn’t see the light while being freed at Gitmo, instead they burrowed further in the darkness of jihad, laughing all the way back to the battlefield to rejoin their death cult in the fight against U.S. troops, for when they are soon released from probation in Qatar, nothing stops them.

President Obama’s prisoner swap clearly undermined our forces during a time of war; he violated law by releasing terrorist prisoners without giving Congress the required 30 days’ advance notice; he created more distrust among our allies; he disrespected our loyal and sacrificial troops by actually honoring a traitor; and most significantly, our own Commander-in-chief endangered America.

Congress, if putting our nation in danger doesn’t rise to the level of “high crimes,” then nothing does. But since you’ve unequivocally and inexplicably taken impeachment off the table for anything Obama does while on your watch, what do you intend to do about this? If you do your job as balancers of power, we can surely expect repercussions, correct? While you're thinking about your responsibility, consider the men who DID serve with honor and distinction, but of course were never celebrated in our Rose Garden. These men of courage and good character were killed while obeying orders to find and protect the celebrated deserter Bergdahl.

Mr. President, if you can pull yourself away from your all-important basketball brackets and buckets of popcorn, you too should take a good look at these selfless young troops who gave all for their country. We await your explanation on all of this; certainly even a complicit media deserves it. More importantly though, the families of our fallen heroes deserve the most heartfelt apology.

Really?

This isn’t enough for you?

“Congress, if putting our nation in danger doesn’t rise to the level of “high crimes,” then nothing does.

But, of course, if Ted Cruz had said half of this it would have been Holy Writ, am I right?

BTW, has Cruz commented on this?

Or, you know, done anything about it from his current position as Senator?

“I’ve been thinking about Obama’s legacy and I don’t know how he’s gonna live with it after his term is over. He’s a fairly young man and is going to have to live with decision like this one for a long time.”

To the people he cares about, this makes him a hero. He managed to get five taliban “heroes” back into the fight for one American deserter.

Look at his other accomplishments:

Set the stage for Isis with his support for the overthrow of Assad and the removal of American troops from Iraq.

Destabilized Libya, and turned it into a place of contention for Islamic Jihadists.

Attempted, and almost succeeded in turning Egypt over to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Succeeded in opening a new front against the west in Ukraine and all the former East Block, by reniging on our commitment to put in a missle defense, on the eve of it being implemented.

Isolated Israel and has given signals that the U.S. will not support Israel.

Kept anyone from stopping the Iranian nuke project, gave up valuable intelligence to the Iranians about how we stopped them in the past, and is on the verge of lifting sanctions so that they can continue on unimpeded.

Heck, those are just off the top of my head.

Our slovenly swine of a president is a chunk of human waste. "Giving the finger" to the camera in a supposedly innocent offhand gesture is one of his favorite tricks... one that most males outgrow by grade school.

This little boy, however, never grew up. His filthy slattern of a mother (who displayed a similarly weird proclivity for "dark meat," especially given the racially-charged times during which she sucked-in her multiple swarthy suitors...) had at least as little intelligence, though even she seemed mature and thoughtful when compared to this petulant, snot-faced, fly-strewn toddler we have "playing president."

Brokeback O'Bunghole is the worst joke America ever played on itself. His "legacy" of sitting there making vulgar gestures at America for the camera says it all.

BO is a pile of putrefacted human snot, may he forever roast in Hell. IMHO.
