Never Let The Facts Get In The Way
Dumb and Dumber
You may recall that a few weeks ago, President Obama spoke of three former Presidents making prisoner swaps at the end of wars that took
place on their watch, "much like this swap" he said convincingly.
CNN carried this quote, "This is what happens at the end of wars."
President Barack Obama boasted Tuesday when he was asked about swapping American Army Sgt. Deserter for five vicious Taliban terrorists. "That was true for George Washington...That was true for Abraham Lincoln and that was true for FDR. That’s been true of every combat situation, that
at some point, you make sure that you try to get your folks back...
And that’s the right thing to do.
Really?
That statement blatantly demonstrates that the most powerful man in the World and two term President of the United States lacks even a grade school level of knowledge of American History; specifically, history as it relates to three of our most famous presidents and it demonstrates again that we have essentially elected a foreigner who has no understanding of the very country that he reigns supreme over.
Then again, he was educated at an Ivy League school so you can't expect too much.
What's wrong with his statements?
Let's keep it simple-- EVERYTHING is wrong!
1. George Washington did not become president until six years after the Revolutionary War ended in 1783. By 1789 there were no longer any prisoners for him to exchange.
2. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in mid-April of 1865. The Civil War ended the following month. He was still dead at that time. No deals were made to exchange prisoners after the war. All prisoners were simply freed.
3. FDR died of a stroke before the end of WWII. Like Lincoln, he stayed dead after the war so he couldn't do what this jerk says he did. You'll recall that Harry S. Truman made the decision to drop two nuclear bombs on Japan, ending World War II. He made no deals for prisoners. We went in and released them when necessary.
4. None of the Presidents that Obama noted were in office at the ends of those wars, making it impossible for them to make any sort of prisoner swaps, let alone the 5 for 1, plus unspecified cash, for a deserter and traitor by our "57 States" president.
5. It should be pointed out that countless deserters and traitors were shot or hung during all three of the aforementioned wars.
What amazes one even more than the ignorance of the President is that he has managed to surround himself with a staff that is just as clueless?
... or willing, as the media are, to cover for his dumb, lying rhetoric and behavior!
P.S. Obama mentioned while being interviewed on Super Bowl Sunday while in the Whitehouse kitchen, that George Washington drank beer in the White House when he was president .
George Washington never lived in the White House; it wasn't built yet

I'll have you know Zero is an advanced mathematical concept - unknown to the Greeks and Romans and - unlike Barak - absolutley essential to the modern world.
Zero, nil, void, null, .. similar but not identical.
May I suggest 'Blank' in this context?
However I give you the millenium celebrated one year early as the not so shiny but accurate example of duuuuhhhh. The entire planet.

History is a weird thing, and unless we record and teach it truthfully, there will be nothing we will ever learn from it. I can point to the Middle East Wars as a result of the lies taught about Vietnam.
True story; as a kid on the farm in Newburg, Wisconsin I learned first hand not to step in horse shit, especially when it's fresh and still steaming. So now what should I teach my grandchildren about it? Should I lie and let them experience it themselves, or should I tell them the truth. That's what history's all about.

Sometimes I have to wonder if i am somehow missing some important piece of information that everyone else knows....

Romney failed to differentiate between the state-based healthcare plan of Massachusetts and the Obama ideal of a Federal healthcare plan. Oh, and the rampant voting fraud.
I really hope Walker, Cruz, or Paul make it through - they are my first, second, and third choices for Presidential candidates because I think they CAN differentiate themselves.
informed, low-intelligent voters, we got saddled
with a Puke-Producer-in-Chief. GOD save
America!
1. His birth certificate looks like an amateurish forgery.
2. His father was a British colonial subject of what was then British East Africa and is now Kenya.
So by the criteria set forty by Emmerich de Vattel, he does not qualify as a natural born citizen.
I think I read that only one American soldier was
shot for desertion in World War II-Private E.D.Slo-
vick. (At least, formally. On the field, I don't know).
And I think I have read that there were none in
World War I. (But about the Navy and the Ma-
rines,Coast Guard, and Air Force, I don't know).

One of my sisters, a staunch progressive who rolls her eyes at the mention of socialism, once stated very plainly:
"Of course he lies, he has to or he won't be able to get anything done."
This is an intelligent woman who has held high positions in well respected national organizations. This exemplifies, to me, why the government and media are able to do the things they do.
Moral relativity.

I recently posted a video in which the Liar-In-Chief stated that we (really he) had won two wars.
Guess it was the tail end of that alternate universe fantasy when five top Islamic fanatics were traded for one cowardly deserter, who was immediately deemed worthy of Superman DC Bizarro Planet White House praise.
Now it is said this was no Obooboo. King Barry knew otherwise.
The Constitution is just a GD piece of paper.
So that's 58 states, not counting Alaska and Hawaii, or a total of 60. The nonsense should be attributed to our "60 States" president.
Actually, the video to watch is the President grinning ear-to-ear while Sgt Deserter’s scruffy father intones Muslim religious doctrine in the White House Rose Garden.
The homeboy and his advisers are not dummies. They cynically take advantage of the fact that more than 50% of the voters do not know the facts of those situation (government educated!) and believe that since he did what three other famous presidents did, he is doing exactly the right thing and thus they would vote for him again.
People get the governments they deserve.

transgressions of a few -- but the few manage

The principle I quoted, I believe, rests on to things. First, governments stay in power supported by the choice of the majority of the voters. Second, governments also stay in power with the majority refusing to rebel. If one does not rebel, one in fact accepts. An individual, if unwilling to accept the status quo, has two choices: to join the rebellion if one is in the making or to leave for better pastures. In my mind, the originality of shrugging is that it is a combination of a rebellion of people hopeless of the possibility of inducing a majority to join the rebellion and the emigration of a special kind.
Just my opinions.
All the best.
