This is a good way to get bogus hostage situations as well as real ones... wink wink wink (not me, them)
reward hostage-takers...
that will result in more hostage-taking of course
ISIS tips its hat towards the whitehut.
Ever since the commie ‘RAT politicians “evolved” into sexual deviant admirers, it’s like they’ve all received a frontal lobotomy. How ‘bout a refresher for the turds on Capitol Hill? If you negotiate with terrorists and agree to pay ransoms, YOU ONLY ENCOURAGE MORE HOSTAGE TAKING YOU ***holes!!
Finally, a way for the left to directly fund activities they support! Now they can hand millions to ISIS and others without having to account for their actions.
Thinking about the movie Captain PHillips, I remember the lead character says that the US would rather sink the boat they were in than let it land - pointing to the way that countries have long known there must be no reward for piracy or hostage taking - none. Potential captors should see death and destruction - not a payoff - when contemplating a heist.

Meanwhile, the government will scale back its efforts to rescue hostages and combat terrorists and instead encourage families with kidnapped loved ones that don’t have the scratch to raise funds via social media—and keep track of every penny raised and turn over records to the IRS.
This will endanger the life of every single American abroad. Of course obama approves.
It was the taking of Americans for ransom that caused Jefferson to send the Navy and Marines over to squash the Barbary pirates (muslims). He had the Koran that Ellison used for his swearing in to try to understand his foe.
Jefferson had no admiration for muslims.
“to the shores of Tripoli” is in the Marine Corps Hymn because we had to go over there and kill a bunch of them.
if anyone gets killed Obama can Blame it on them
They will just have to pay a gift tax.
Another way for Hussein to support America’s enemies and encourage their activities.
his only problem with either ISIS (Daesh) or the Mad Mullahs is that he is convinced that HE is the caliph.
But how about answering the question we ask leftists all the time: what clause of the U.S. Constitution allows the Federal government to prohibit this??
And if you cite the war powers clause you are going to have to show me a declaration of war, and evidence that we are actually fighting a war.
