DISTRACTING US WITH GI(HAD) JOE

Original Content | June 2, 2014 | By Laz A. Mataz

This weekend, Obama swapped five dangerous Taliban commanders for one questionable American soldier.

The five Taliban commanders are: Mullah Mohammad Fazl (Taliban army chief of staff), Mullah Norullah Noori (senior Taliban military commander), Abdul Haq Wasiq (Taliban deputy minister of intelligence), Khairullah Khairkhwa (Taliban governor of the Herat province and former interior minister), and Mohammed Nabi (senior Taliban figure and security official).

In return, we got one America soldier who, his peers write, abandoned his post to join the Taliban, and who's Islamic-beard-adorned father has worked tirelessly to release more terrorists.

Immediately after this, we have Hagel and Rice 'gaslighting' us with absurd statements, Hagel claiming we did not negotiate with terrorists, when negotiating with terrorists to secure the soldiers release, and Rice claiming that a soldier who deserted his post to join the enemy served the United States with honor and distinction.

It appears that the Islamic-supporting Obama administration gets a three-fer on this one. They get to release five of America's most dangerous enemies; free a radicalized American soldier; and distract from the looming scandals of Benghazi and the Veterans Administration veteran deaths. The Obama administration also gets people talking about this, rather than the new, radical EPA anti-constitutional 'Carbon Cap and Trade' scheme.

This appears to be the modus operandi of the Obama administration: Commit as many scandals as possible, to overwhelm the public and keep a constantly-shifting target. One cannot properly investigate one act of outright treason with this group, because they commit five more acts of treason before nightfall, and freely publicize them so that you are too outraged about those acts, to pursue the original one. We cannot allow Obama to distract us from other scandals by waving around his GI(had) Joe doll.

This is the Cloward-Piven strategy, of overwhelming the system -- but instead of applying Cloward-Piven to the economic state of the country, Obama is applying it to the legal system and enjoying acts of treason.

What is the solution to this Cloward-Piven treason-overload? Pick the very worst act of treason, and pursue it until prosecution is complete. When in front of the press, speak to no other issue. Do not answer the press's questions on the topic at hand, but direct them back to your investigation of treason.

Nope! He has violated so many laws that one more won’t make a difference. If we had an opposition political party, it may be a horse of a different color, but as long as there only Democrats and Republicans he is safe.

It is what homos do. Given the choice between male and female, they take the male.

In the history books Nixon will still be vilified beyond reason, and Obama will be championed beyond reason.

Obama should be such an embarrassment to Blacks.  He's the worst president in our Republic's history, and it isn't even close.

Our biggest mistake, was thinking Manchurian instead of Muslim.

Yes, once we take the Senate.

Bwahahaha...!!! Some of us are old enough to remember the 1990's. And that was before the GOP had a firmly entrenched establishment that hates you. So you guys go ahead and "take" the senate (snicker) and see how quickly you get patted on the head and told to shut up and sit down...again. I'm sure Lucy won't pull that football trick again this time Charley Brown.

[Lazamataz]

Your thoughts are not without merit, but I would hope that the House at least goes on record.

For Obama to commit over 20 acts of outright treason, and not have it even RECORDED as such, then ....

..... well then the country is simply finished. The subsequent Presidents can commit any act of treason, up to and including turning the Nuclear Control 'Football' that targets and launches our nuclear weapons, over to Al Qaeda.

[Orangedog]

This has gone way past the point of anyone voting their way out of this. The best I’m hoping for is to hunker down out of arms reach of the lumpen when the EBT cards quit working and the social security checks stop going out.

I used to fear the looming breakup of the United States, because then the Constitution and Bill of Rights would then be rendered meaningless.

I no longer have that fear. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are almost rendered meaningless already.

We know what side our dear leader is on.

They have largely been reduced to ceremonial props that politicians and bureaucrats pay lip service to.

.... or lately, condemn outright.

Orangedog does have a valid argument. It was a Republican Senate that failed to find Clinton guilty, and that was BS. Clinton was guilty as sin, but the next turd to hold that office wants to be able to use previous precedent to get away with the same thing.

OTOH, the military side of me does support what obama did by gaining Bergdahl's release. We don't leave our troops behind.
Any mis-deeds will be brought out in the ensuing investigation, and this won't cover up prior scandals for long.

[Orangedog]

And we've watched it happen in large chunks over the last three decades. Each decade had it's own theme:

1990's : "...for the children."

2000's : "Why do you hate American?"

2010's : "Only racists question the government."

Something equally trite and insipid will be used in the next decade, but I'm thinking the PR campaign will be over before then.

Ah, for a light hearted thread this certainly became series and huge all of a sudden. Not wanting to add to the angst and seeking to place the thread back on a lighter note ... am recommending pork fer supper. Bacon ... oh the horror.

[Orangedog]

The House doesn’t get a pass on slick’s intentionally botched impeachment. They could have impeached him on real charges but went for the blue dress bullshit because it was a better for fundraisers. The hacks on talk radio were more than happy to go along with that because sex sells and translates into ratings. But hey... Ken Star got a nice gig after it was all over.

2020's: Bacon, Bratwurst and Beer!
Bring on the killer B's?

Bomb, Bomb, Bomb ...
Bomb 'em all?
Could happen ...

????

What makes you think this was a light-hearted thread?!????

This is a very serious thread about how Obama uses the next scandal to distract from the previous scandal, all in rapid succession.
