A lot is being said about the exchange of five high level terrorists for one Sgt. "Bowe" Bergdahl. Some claim that he deserted, and walked into the hands of the Taliban. Based on all the evidence presented thus far, the President broke more than one law in releasing prisoners. Judge Andrew Napolitano explains it to Shepard Smith of Fox News in the video:
But there were five others released nearly a year ago, that did not get mentioned on the nightly news! In late July of 2013 there was a release of 5 Guantanamo detainees as a good will gesture to the Taliban. In other words, they got five of their people back and we got the right to open peace talks with them. Do you find that the least bit submissive? It was not widely reported, because compared to the news of that time it seemed relatively insignificant. See: http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/06/02/ten-terrorists-yes-ten-one-traitor-release-didnt-hear/ Many are angry because there were many others who were wounded or killed in ambushes while searching for Sgt. Bergdahl.
Pictured above (from the Daily Mail) is one of the soldiers killed while searching for Bowe Bergdahl. The caption under the photo states: "Hero: Second Lieutenant Darryn Andrews died in a Taliban ambush on Sept 4, 2009, after he tried to save colleagues who had been injured in an IED explosion. Top brass had told his parents that he died searching a Taliban commander. Now former comrades have come forward to say they were really looking for Bergdahl."

The Dictator didn't stop there though.
It seems that Obama is going to by-pass the rule of law and have the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) write regulations that will cripple the coal industry if not completely destroy it, while not allowing the Keystone XL pipeline to be completed, and knowing quite well (he said so!) that it will force energy (electric) prices to soar. And that, he says will drive alternatives and efficiency initiatives. No, Barry. What it will do is create more unemployment and poor people. What it will do is make us even more dependent on foreign sources for energy. What it will do is deprive private industry of what control they have left, given excessive regulations, restrictions, and limits imposed by government, and done so by bureaucrats who know nothing about energy nor economics, and continue to erode freedom and free market enterprise.
What we have now is clear to see; there is an interloper holding the reins of the most powerful national military and he is aiming directly at the People.
Every now and then, I do run across someone who gets it. It's from one perspective and yet it does demonstrate how Americans are being fleeced of their property and liberty. Please share and give credit to Mr. Root and to FoxNews for telling the truth!

There are two major political parties in America. I’m a member of the naïve, stupid, and cowardly one. I’m a Republican.
How stupid is the GOP? They still don’t get it.
I told them 5 years ago, 2 books ago, a national bestseller ago ("The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide"), and in hundreds of articles and commentaries, that ObamaCare was never meant to help America, or heal the sick, or lower healthcare costs, or lower the debt, or expand the economy.
The GOP needs to stop calling ObamaCare a “trainwreck.” That means it’s a mistake, or accident. That means it’s a gigantic flop, or failure. It’s NOT.
This is a brilliant, cynical, and purposeful attempt to damage the U.S. economy, kill jobs, and bring down capitalism.
It’s not a failure, it’s Obama’s grand success.
It’s not a “trainwreck,” ObamaCare is a suicide attack. He wants to hurt us, to bring us to our knees, to capitulate- so we agree under duress to accept big government.
Obama’s hero and mentor was Saul Alinsky -- a radical Marxist intent on destroying capitalism. Alinksky’s stated advice was to call the other guy “a terrorist” to hide your own intentions.
To scream that the other guy is “ruining America,” while you are the one actually plotting the destruction of America. To claim again and again…in every sentence of every speech…that you are “saving the middle class,” while you are busy wiping out the middle class.
The GOP is so stupid they can’t see it. There are no mistakes here. This is a planned purposeful attack.
The tell-tale sign isn't the disastrous start to ObamaCare. Or the devastating effect the new taxes are having on the economy. Or the death of full-time jobs. Or the overwhelming debt. Or the dramatic increases in health insurance rates. Or the 70% of doctors now thinking of retiring- bringing on a healthcare crisis of unimaginable proportions. Forget all that.
The real sign that this is a purposeful attack upon capitalism is how many Obama administration members and Democratic Congressmen are openly calling Tea Party Republicans and anyone who wants to stop ObamaCare “terrorists.”
There’s the clue. Even the clueless GOP should be able to see that.
They are calling the reasonable people…the patriots…the people who believe in the Constitution ... the people who believe exactly what the Founding Fathers believed…the people who want to take power away from corrupt politicians who have put America $17 trillion in debt…terrorists?
That’s because they are Saul Alinsky-ing the GOP. The people trying to purposely hurt America, capitalism and the middle class…are calling the patriots by a terrible name to fool, confuse and distract the public.
ObamaCare is a raving, rollicking, fantastic success. Stop calling it a failure. Here is what it was created to do. It is succeeding on all counts:
1. ObamaCare was intended to bring about the Marxist dream -- redistribution of wealth. Rich people, small business owners, and the middle class are being robbed, so that the money can be redistributed to poor people (who vote for Democrats).
Think about it. If you’re rich or middle class, you now have to pay for your own health care costs (at much higher rates) AND 40 million other people’s costs too (through massive tax increases).
So you’re stuck paying for both bills. You are left broke. Brilliant.
2. ObamaCare was intended to wipe out the middle class and make them dependent on government.Think about it. Even Obama’s IRS predicts that health insurance for a typical American family by 2016 will be $20,000 per year. But how would middle class Americans pay that bill and have anything left for food or housing or living? People that make $40K, or $50K, or $60K can’t possibly hope to spend $20K on health insurance without becoming homeless.
Bingo. That’s how you make middle class people dependent on government. That’s how you make everyone addicted to government checks. Brilliant.
3. As a bonus, ObamaCare is intended to kill every decent paying job in the economy, creating only crummy, crappy part-time jobs.Why? Just to make sure the middle class is trapped, with no way out. Just to make sure no one has the $20,000 per year to pay for health insurance, thereby guaranteeing they become wards of the state. Brilliant.
4. ObamaCare is intended to bankrupt small business, and therefore starve donations to the GOP.Think about it. Do you know a small business owner? I know hundreds of them. Their rates are being doubled, tripled and quadrupled by ObamaCare.
Guess who writes 75% of the checks to Republican candidates and conservative causes? Small Business.
Even if a small business owner manages to survive, he or she certainly can’t write a big check to the GOP anymore. Money is the “mother’s milk” of politics. Without donations, a political party ceases to exist. Bingo.
That’s the point of ObamaCare. Obama is bankrupting his political opposition and drying up donations to the GOP. Brilliant.
5. ObamaCare is intended to make the IRS all-powerful.It adds thousands of new IRS agents. It puts the IRS in charge of overseeing 15% of the U.S. economy. The IRS has the right because of ObamaCare to snoop into every aspect of your life, to go into your bank accounts, to fine you, to frighten you, to intimidate you. And Obama and his socialist cabal have access to your deepest medical secrets.
By law your doctor has to ask your sexual history. That information is now in the hands of Obama and the IRS to blackmail GOP candidates into either not running, or supporting bigger government, or leaking the info and ruining your campaign.
Or have you forgotten the IRS harassed, intimidated and persecuted critics of Obama and conservative groups?
Now Obama hands the IRS even more power. Big Brother rules our lives. Brilliant.
6. ObamaCare is intended to unionize 15 million healthcare workers.That produces $15 billion in new union dues. That money goes to fund Democratic candidates and socialist causes -- thereby guaranteeing Obama’s friends never lose another election, and Obama’s policies keep ruining capitalism and bankrupting business owners long after he’s out of office.
Message to the GOP: This isn’t a game. This isn't tiddly-winks. This is a serious, purposeful attempt to highjack America and destroy capitalism.
This isn't a trainwreck. It's purposeful suicide.
It's not failing, it's working exactly according to plan. Obama knows what he’s doing. Stop apologizing and start fighting.
Oh and one more thing…Conservatives aren't “terrorists.” We are patriots and saviors. We represent the Constitution and the Founding Fathers. We are the heroes and good guys. Unless you get all this through your thick skulls, America is lost…forever.
The Constitution for the United States of America is a contract of consent by We the People to form and administer a representative republican system of federal governance among the many sovereign States in union. It is by our consent and within the limitations of the Constitution that we allow ourselves to be governed. Included in that consent decree are Amendments that describe some of the rights of the People and the rights of the States. The Second Amendment clearly states that the "right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." How can it be more plain than that? Laws that infringe on the rights of the citizens to keep and bear arms are by definition unlawful. Now some will say that it is up to the States then to make laws regarding gun control. Not so fast! The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution also makes it clear that those powers not granted to the federal government and not prohibited by the Constitution are reserved to the States and to the People. Because the Second Amendment clearly prohibits restrictions on weapons (arms) that means that even the States cannot enact laws that infringe on the People's rights.
I have heard mention on this ongoing debate about gun laws, "Well that doesn't mean that anybody can buy an cruise missile or a tank. Actually, it does mean that! Yes, if you can afford to purchase and maintain it, you have a right to own and keep it. All of this gun talk in the wake of these tragic shootings at cinemas and schools is knee-jerk reactions to a problem that has nothing to do with guns at all. But that is a topic outside of the Constitution and the limits it places on government involvement into the private lives of citizens.
In his farewell address, former President Dwight D.
Eisenhower warned of the Military Industrial Complex but most Americans had no
real idea of what he was warning about. The term was not ubiquitous to most
Americans and it was only those who were knowledgeable in the affairs of state
who really understood his warning.
Most Americans were just happy to be working and paying
their bills, still capable of saving for an annual vacation with their
families. Jobs were plentiful, men did most of the labor while women were
satisfied being wives and mothers. Some women did work, but like my own mother,
stopped working when raising children was more important than having money to
buy luxury. That was only for the wealthy or those who wanted to have the luxuries
of the wealthy, and they usually bought those things with readily available
credit offered by merchants or the banks.
Even a good education was available to the “middle
class” in the best colleges and universities at the time. I myself was offered
and promised scholarships to some of those great institutions of higher
learning. I even attended some lectures when I was bored with my high school
classes just to see what it was that was so special about attending college.
Mainly due to how much it was drummed into my young mind that a college degree
was a sure ticket to prosperity and a position of distinction in life.
But the usurpation occurred slowly. It reached quite a
high as President Eisenhower left office and I was made shockingly aware of the
impact when I read a document called the Report
from Iron Mountain.
"), and in hundreds of articles and commentaries, that ObamaCare was never meant to help America, or heal the sick, or lower healthcare costs, or lower the debt, or expand the economy.
