More "Bergdahl for Bombers" Swap
News
If Obama was in charge of making trades for a baseball
team, they'd lead the majors in strikeouts. Imagine if in 1944, FDR had
exchanged five Nazi generals or maybe U-Boat Captains for one Army "Sergeant"--who
was, at best, AWOL when captured. ~Bob

worked to free Bergdahl because he's gay. Watch the news...and remember you

Investigate
Bergdahl, Yes, But The More Important Man, Too. By Andy Weddington
Excerpt: Think about it, we're in a global war and our
enemy(s) proven our homeland is a battlefield - the 9/11 attack compelling
and still they scheme and try. What battlefield commander who has captured five
enemy generals swaps them for one noncommissioned officer who deserted his
unit? (My comment above was written before Col. Weddington's column came
in--Marines are trained to think of military options. ~Bob)
No Evidence of
‘Credible Threat’ to Bergdahl: Feinstein. By Kathleen Hunter
Excerpt: “I don’t think there was a credible threat,” U.S.
Senator Dianne Feinstein said in an interview yesterday for Bloomberg Television’s
“Political Capital with Al
Hunt” airing this weekend. “I have no information that there was.”
Excerpt: It is well established now that Bowe Bergdahl, the
Army sergeant for whom Barack Obama traded five top Taliban jihad commanders to
get him out of captivity in Afghanistan ,
is a deserter. But there are also numerous indications that Bergdahl is
something even worse: a traitor to the United States of America .
Freed Taliban
Commander Tells Relative He'll Fight Americans Again. By Mushtaq Yusufzai
Excerpt: Pushawar , Pakistan - One of the five Taliban leaders freed
from Guantanamo Bay
in return for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's
release has pledged to return to fight Americans in Afghanistan , according to a fellow
militant and a relative. (Shame on NBC for publishing this obvious lie.
Obama PROMISED they wouldn't return
to the fight. Period. ~Bob)
Behind the Scenes of
Bowe Bergdahl’s Release. By Aryn Baker
Excerpt: Asked whether the Taliban would be inspired by the
exchange to kidnap others, a commander laughed. “Definitely."
‘Lone Survivor’ Marcus Luttrell’s Response When Asked If He
Would’ve Wanted the U.S. Government to Trade Taliban Prisoners to Free Him. By Jason Howerton
Excerpt: CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Friday asked Luttrell
about the Obama administration’s decision to release five Taliban
Guantanamo Bay
prisoners for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, and whether he would’ve wanted the U.S.
government to respond the same way if he never escaped the Taliban. “Had the
situation with you been different, would you have wanted an exchange of
prisoners?” Cooper asked. Without hesitation, Luttrell responded, “No.” (He's a
man with courage, which is beyond the understanding of the left. ~Bob)

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/06/05/would-have-died-for-him-6-soldiers-who-served-with-bergdahl-seek-answers/
Excerpt: Six soldiers who served in the same platoon as Sgt.
Bowe Bergdahl in Afghanistan
expressed anger, sadness and outrage over what they said unequivocally was
Bergdahl’s willful desertion five years ago, with one telling Fox News’ Megyn
Kelly, “we would all die for him and he left.” When asked by Kelly on “The
Kelly File” if they thought Bergdahl had deserted their platoon, all six men
raised their hands. They also all agreed Bergdahl should be court-martialed and
tried for desertion, saying this is not about politics.
Sister of Soldier
Killed Searching for Bergdahl: Trade Was ‘a Slap in the Face’

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/06/06/Sister-of-Soldier-Killed-Searching-for-Bergdahl-Trade-was-A-Slap-in-the-Face
Excerpt: The story of Bowe Bergdahl is
also the story of six soldiers killed seeking a man who may have intentionally walked into the arms of the Taliban.
Krisa Murphrey, whose brother, Staff Sergeant Michael Murphrey, was killed on a
mission reports have linked to the Bergdahl search, tells Breitbart News the
swap was "ridiculous."
Bowe Bergdahl: Afghan
media wary of deal
Excerpt: "America
has released five dangerous terrorists from Guantanamo in exchange for the release of one
of its soldiers," write the editors of Arman-e Melli. "The
release of five senior and dangerous terrorists of the Taliban group was
unpleasant and disturbing news for the Afghan people." The editors of
Hast-e Sobh expressed surprise that,
after 13 years in Afghanistan ,
the US
no longer considers the Taliban to be "terrorists". "When the
Taliban see that America is
holding direct talks with them, opening an office for them and striking a deal
with them, such an approach by America
sends a message to the Taliban that there is no need for holding talks
with Kabul ,"
they write.
The Bergdahl Bounce

Branch” (e-mail subject line: “Kidnapping for Prisoner Exchange”) which states
that the risk to U.S. Soldiers of kidnapping in the wake of SGT Bergdhal’s
prisoner exchange has increased. The message is issued as a result of “new
operational hazards that pose a threat to [] personnel” with the following
internal subject line: Subject: Terrorist groups call for kidnapping of
westerners and in particular U.S. Military members, combined with the recent
release of U.S. Army Sgt Bergdhal increase the threat of kidnappings of

directly to Mullah Omar. The Shura oversaw the Taliban's military and
intelligence operations, as well as other activities.

Recruit Depot Parris Island Sergeant Major Arrested. By Andy Weddington
Excerpt: Sergeant Major Paul T. Archie, U. S. Marine Corps,
presently assigned as the Depot Sergeant Major at Marine Corps Recruit Depot
Parris Island, South Carolina, was arrested yesterday. For those
unfamiliar with his assignment, he is the senior enlisted advisor (he, too, a drill
instructor) to the commanding general. Sergeant Major Archie was charged
with third-degree assault and battery. Theft should have also been
charged. In short, a Marine (no longer in a duty status - in other words,
a "civilian") identified as Ethan Arguello was, outside the confines
of the depot, protesting President Obama's decision to swap Sergeant Bowe
Bergdahl for five top Taliban commanders imprisoned at Guantanamo
Bay. Part of Mr. Arguello's attire was the distinctive campaign cover worn
by Marine Corps drill instructors (he once a drill instructor).
The Liberals' "War on Women": Shooting An Elk Is Worse Than Raping A Woman: In Boulder Shooting An Elk Gets You 6yrs, Rape-30, Days
http://clashdaily.com/2014/06/shooting-elk-worse-raping-woman-boulder-shooting-elk-gets-6yrs-rape-30days/#
Excerpt: According to The
Daily Mail, a police officer in Boulder, Colorado faces up to six years in
prison for shooting an elk in the community: ... A former Boulder Area Realtor
Association board member convicted of raping his children’s 20-year-old
babysitter was spared a potential life sentence Thursday and instead will spend
30 days in jail and 20 years on probation after the judge in his case voiced
concerns about Colorado ’s
sentencing rules.
Colleges become the
victims of progressivism. By George Will
Excerpt: Colleges and universities are being educated by Washington and are
finding the experience excruciating. They are learning that when they say
campus victimizations are ubiquitous (“micro-aggressions,” often not
discernible to the untutored eye, are everywhere), and that when they make
victimhood a coveted status that confers privileges, victims proliferate. And
academia’s progressivism has rendered it intellectually defenseless now that
progressivism’s achievement, the regulatory state, has decided it is academia’s
turn to be broken to government’s saddle.
Excerpt: This week the
Republican controlled House passed a bill that would have reformed the VA
Health care system, allowed vets to go to doctors outside their system if their
treatment was delayed, increased audits of hospital performance and give the VA
Chief the power to fire anyone who has been found abusing our vets. The
Democratically controlled Senate killed the House Bill immediately. Led by the

Hold: How Democrats put their union allies before the well-being of veterans.
By Kimberley
Excerpt: The Bush administration worked to keep federal
union excesses in check; Obama administration officials have viewed contract
"negotiations" as a way to reward union allies. Federal unions can't
bargain for wages or benefits, but the White House has made it up to them. Manhattan
Institute scholar Diana Furchtgott-Roth recently detailed Office of Personnel
Management numbers obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by
Rep. Phil Gingrey (R., Ga.). On May 25, Ms. Furchtgott-Roth reported on
MarketWatch that the VA in 2012 paid 258 employees to be 100%
"full-time," receiving full pay and benefits to
do only union work. Seventeen had six-figure salaries, up to
$132,000. According to the Office of Personnel Management, the VA paid for
988,000 hours of "official" time in fiscal 2011, a 23% increase from
2010. Moreover, as Sens. Rob Portman (R., Ohio) and Tom Coburn (R., Okla.)
noted in a 2013 letter to Mr. Shinseki, the vast majority of these
"official" timers were nurses, instrument technicians pharmacists,
dental assistants and therapists, who were being paid to do union work even as
the VA tried to fill hundreds of jobs and paid overtime to other staff.
Here's What They Didn't Tell You About the Jobs Report. By Mike Shedlock

accounts for nearly all of the declining unemployment rate.
Sharyl Attkisson on Journalism’s Very Dangerous Trend. By Rob Bluey
Excerpt: “There’s a tendency in the news media, on the part
of some managers, to censor or block stories that don’t fall in line with the
message they want sent to the viewers,” Attkisson said in an exclusive
interview with The Daily Signal. “I think that’s really a very dangerous
perspective to have.”
The Closing of the
Collegiate Mind. By Ruth R. Wisse
Excerpt: There was a time when people looking for
intellectual debate turned away from politics to the university. Political
backrooms bred slogans and bagmen; universities fostered educated discussion.
But when students in the 1960s began occupying university property like the
thugs of regimes America
was fighting abroad, the venues gradually reversed. Open debate is now
protected only in the polity: In universities, muggers prevail. Assaults on
intellectual and political freedom have been making headlines. Pressure from
faculty egged on by Muslim groups induced Brandeis University Del )
National
Association of Scholars: ‘much of the U.S.-sponsored research behind the
“scientific consensus” on global warming may be less rigorous than its
advocates would have the public believe.’ By Peter Wood,
Rachelle DeJong. National Association of Scholars
Excerpt: How reliable are the scientific findings on which
the Environmental Protection Agency bases its proposed regulations? According
to a new research report, many of the findings connected to the EPA’s attempt
to regulate greenhouse gas emissions may be compromised by a
short-circuiting of peer review. That question and that answer may seem far
afield from NAS’s usual concerns, but there is an important connection. Or
actually three important connections. Much of the science involved is
university-based research. The problems surfaced by the new report reveal
weakness in academic peer review. And NAS is engaged in an in-depth examination
of the campus sustainability movement.
ObamaCare’s Rosa
Parks
Excerpt: Maryanne is the perfect symbol of everything that
is wrong, immoral and corrupt with ObamaCare. At the very heart of her
courageous battle against the city of Detroit
lies one simple question; Who “owns” the individual citizen? Under ObamaCare,
absolutely every human action, or non-action, can and will be argued
to have a direct cost to society, based on each action or
non-action’s potential impact on healthcare costs. Because our
federal government has now claimed financial responsibility for every
American’s healthcare, they will also claim total dominion over all citizen’s
actions and non-actions.
You’ll Never Guess
What Obama Supporters Now Say is Racist
Excerpt: One of the natural consequences of the Left’s
obsession with abusing the race card, attempting to silence any opposition or
disagreement with their communist, totalitarian ideas, is that eventually the
terms “racist” or “racism” become marginalized and meaningless. Nothing is
racist and everything becomes racist, while real
racism, like Democrat leader Harry Reid’s assertion that Obama was
electable because he didn’t have a “negro dialect,” goes untouched.
A perfect example of this is
a video produced
by Mark Dice, showing Obama supporters agreeing that if Republican John Boehner
doesn’t like Mexican food, he must be racist and should be removed from
office.(Scroll down a little to see video on the left. --JB)
Excerpt: Shortly after Dykes on Bikes rumble across the
starting line of the Capital Pride parade in Dupont Circle on Saturday, an
expected 150,000 spectators should witness something never before seen on an
American city street — a U.S. Armed Forces color guard marching alongside
rainbow flags in a gay pride parade. (I have no problem with "Gay
Pride" parades or any other free expression of political opinions. But it
is a political event. Thus the military should be able to march in uniform in a
Tea Party parade. ~Bob)
