Calling for Obama's Impeachment

Over the years there has been the occasional outcry for the impeachment of the sitting president Barack Obama.  On multiple occasions he has overstepped the boundaries placed on his powers as president as he has taken it upon himself to both legislate and arbitrarily enforce laws as he sees fit.

We have seen him rewrite the Obamacare requirements time and time again when specific groups or businesses disagree with how it being implemented.  We have seen him push back deadlines for specific groups while enforcing the law on others. 

We have also seen Obama's complete disregard for immigration law as he has released tens of thousands illegal immigrant prisoners onto American streets, into towns and neighborhoods like yours mine.  He has also made a point not to enforce border law by putting restrictions on how our patrol is able to operate.  Most recently we have welcomed roughly 60,000 underage illegal immigrant children into this country and our president referring these children as refugees.  Refugees from what???

The last straw should be this recent release of five enemy combatants from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl. This was done with blatant disregard for the law, a law he specifically claimed would uphold!! We are getting to a point in which this president is taking on dictatorial powers as recently exclaimed when stated that he has a pen a phone and he will use it!

Mr. President This is Not Your Government, It is OUR GOVERNMENT!!

Did I miss something or is the government of the United States a government for the people and by the people? Well for some reason our president seems to feel otherwise he told Dan Rather in a recent interview on NBC.

In this interview the president explains that when a soldier that wears our uniform is captured behind enemy lines we do everything in our power to bring that soldier back home.  I could not agree more with that sentiment, but the questions remains at what cost.  What type of sacrifice must be made to bring home any soldier from behind enemy lines?


Apparently Mr. Obama feels that he has the right to act alone in determining what sacrifices can be made to bring a soldier home, in this case the release of Bowe Bergdahl. Obama went back on his word yet again as he circumvented congressional approval and put in motion the swap that landed five high level terrorists back in the hands of the enemy.







There are many questions surrounding this particular incident such as why were those five of the highest level terrorists that were being held in Guantanamo Bay released to a country such as Qatar?  Why was this individual, Bergdahl, held in such high regard even though so many of his comrades confirmed that he was indeed a deserter?

Mr. President we the people demand answers and we demand them now as to why every single American citizen at home and abroad, and every soldier around the world has been placed in increased danger as a result of this horrible trade. Additionally, this is not "your government" this is OUR GOVERNMENT, we elected you, we elect every single member of the House, and the Senate.  We do so in good faith that those who we elect will abide by the law and the Constitution.

Michael Hastings Death a Direct Result of Bowe Bergdahl Story!

There have been many stories throughout the past week regarding the recent release of Bowe Bergdahl, a supposed "POW" held "captive" in Afghanistan for roughly five years.

We have heard from his comrades, nearly all of which are saying the same thing. They are all coming out and confirming he was indeed a deserter and in effect a traitor. His desertion in turn led to the loss of innocent lives in the subsequent search for him once he left.

What if this could have been prevented? What if there was a reporter who was onto this story was indeed Michael Hastings and the government did whatever they could to cover it up?

The next day, American forces had a chance to free Bowe. The battalion operations officer, call sign GERONIMO 3, met with two tribal elders from the nearby village. The elders had been asked by the Taliban to arrange a trade with U.S. forces. The insurgents wanted 15 of their jailed fighters released, along with an unidentified sum of money, in exchange for Bowe. The officer hedged, unwilling or unable to make such a bargain, and no deal was struck. Instead, the Army ordered all units stationed in the eastern half of Afghanistan – known as RC East, in military jargon – to join the search for Bowe.

A brief excerpt of Hastings reporting goes as follows,

"On July 4th, the search effort got a break: Bowe was spotted in a village in Ghazni, about 15 miles across the mountains to the west. He was wearing khaki, with a bag covering his head, and he was being driven in a black Toyota Corolla, escorted by three to five motorcycles. But by the time troops arrived to investigate, it was too late. That was the last time that Bowe would be seen until the first propaganda video, released later that month."

According to Dean Garrison at DC Clothesline,

"Michael Hastings got Bowe Bergdahl’s fellow soldiers to speak upon conditions of anonymity while disobeying the “gag orders” of their superiors."

So the entire case surrounding the return of Bowe Bergdahl thickens even more. Did Michael Hastings know something the government didn't want the public be aware of? Was this a set up to provide grounds for the release of the five top level terrorists from Guantanamo bay? Let's hope we get the entire story sooner rather than later!

Bergdahl Declared Jihad While In Captivity

Traitor!!!! 

It's safe to say, at this point all fingers are pointing to the fact that Bowe Bergdahl was indeed a traitor as many of his former comrades are confirming. Reports suggest that he willingly left the base to take up arms with the enemy.  Shortly after he left the base it is also being reported that as many as six of our own soldiers were killed while attempting to recover him.


Fox News own Megan Kelly interviewed some of those very individuals that were part of the search and fought alongside him. Each of these individuals felt that Bergdahl should at least face a court marshal to bring forth what really happened while he was help captive. 

It is important we follow the rule of law and ensure that Bergdahl is indeed tried before a military tribunal.  Once the facts come out and we see exactly what took place he should face the punishment in accordance with the crime.

Questions Behind the Release of Bowe Bergdahl


The news has recently broke that our last service person held captive in Afghanistan has since been released back to the United States.  What isn't being reported on is the price we paid to bring that soldier back home. I more than anyone understand the significance of bringing home our service men and women from war, but the question remains at what cost.  To bring home our solder, our president released five, count'em, FIVE terrorists from our military installation in Guantanamo Bay. It has been reported that these terrorists will be released to the authorities in Qatar, but from there who knows where exactly they will end up.

What is even more chilling about this entire situation is the tweet that was posted on the Twitter account of Bowe Bergdahl's father Robert Bergdahl,





"@ABalkhi I am still working to free Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every Afghan child, ameen!"

This tweet has since been deleted. But the question still remains.  What exactly was behind the release of our prisoner and the subsequent release of the five terrorists back into the hands of the Muslim bortherhood.

Another question that must be addressed is why are we putting so much effort into getting this one particular prisoner back when we also have a marine, Andrew Tahmooressi, trapped in a Mexican maximum security prison for more than 60 days.

We currently have a president and an administration who is more concerned about political gain and political capital than the true security and safety of our service men and women at home and abroad.  The only time this president acts is when he can in some way, shape, or form benefit directly from the situation.
