What Exactly Do People Think #BringBackOurGirls Will Accomplish?
Pundit Press ^ | 5/12/14 | Aurelius

Posted on 05/12/2014 10:14:17 AM PDT by therightliveswithus

For years, the terrorist organization Boko Haram has been murdering people throughout Nigeria. Last year in July they killed 42 children in an attack on a school. Two months later, they murdered another 40 people at a college. Hundreds have been massacred by these disgusting excuses for human beings for years.

Today, and for the past few weeks, the Twitter "hashtag" #bringbackourgirls has been sweeping the site. Just a simple Twitter search of it will turn up thousands of tweets saying the same thing.

Possibly the most famous of these tweets was First Lady Michelle Obama tweeting out a picture of herself frowning, holding a card that reads, "#BringBackOurGirls:" Michelle Obama Bring Back Our Girls

But what exactly do people think such things will accomplish? Are they aware that simply writing on Twitter will not physically remove girls from the grasp of Boko Haram and deliver them safely home?

Boko Haram will not be checking how many "re-tweets" Michelle Obama will get and, if she eclipses a certain number, they will release their captives. Boko Haram does not care that several thousand Twitter users in San Francisco wrote "#bringbackourgirls." None of these people will physically do anything to force this terrorist organization to actually do anything at all. In fact, it's more than likely that Boko Haram hasn't even heard of this campaign.

Years ago, "KONY2012" took Twitter by storm. And what has happened because of all of those tweets?

Nothing at all, but they think it makes Moochelle look like she cares.

I assume she doesn’t care that Pastor Saeed is still in prison in Iran, though. But he’s white.

Another attempt by liberals to show the world that they care more than anyone else.

This is just another smoke screen. (think demonstration video), to keep the truth of Ben Gazzi out of the news.

They have been converted to Muslim by the terrorists. So what do we do? Bring them to the US. NO! Return to their parents? YES! That’s it. We cannot save the world be we can liberate these girls and destroy the terrorists.

This will embolden the terrorists to see that this is the only reaction to their acts.

It will accomplish nothing at all except it will make Mobama feel as if she did something positive.

If the Obamas really want those girls returned, Barak should tell Goodluck (ironic name?) Jonathan that he needs to make membership in Boko Harum a capital crime and that we are willing to send troops who will help him kill or capture members of Boko Harum provided Mr. Jonathan and the courts give those pigs a fair trial, sentence them to death, smear them while still alive in bacon fat, and then execute them.

But none of the Obamas and none of the Jonathans have the cajones to do that.

The twits might not matter a hill of bean to Boko Haram, but
a potentially displeased and militant Michelle Obama might
give them pause. That's a scary woman.

It is designed to distract everyone from the Bengazi cover up. Obama doesn’t care what Boko Haram does.

What a load of self-serving CRAP that will not accomplish a damn thing.

It’s pathetic the most powerful man on the planet can only send out his angry wife to post twitter pics on this subject. Lame losers.

What does it accomplish?

It shows Boko Haram that the First Lady is thisclose to unfriending them on Facebook.

Only designed to make people feel good about the first lady. It shows she cares and by proxy, those who support her.

1st off, these are Nigeria’s girls. Using this horrific tragedy to promote the one-world agenda is disgusting.

Of course we should help and we should act, but we should not forfeit our sovereignty in the process. That would appear to be Ms. Obama’s primary objective.
