Sending the Wrong Message With Bad Trades?

Al Ritter

It started in June of 2014 when then President Barack Obama traded 5 prisoners from Guantanamo Bay for a military prisoner of war Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Bergdahl was hardly the model military man, in fact he was a deserter and that’s how he was captured by Afghani forces.

President Obama broke the law with this prisoner exchange. He was supposed to consult Congress 30 days before the trade happened or for that matter to even discuss the specifics of the trade. Sadly that never happened and that started the precedence of dealing with terrorists.

In fact one of those released by Obama was the master mind in the attack that killed 13 service members on the now famous Joe Biden’s botched withdraw from Afghanistan.

What ever happened to the idea of “ No negotiation with terrorists”?

Obviously Obama took that genie out of the bottle and no nobody can put it back in.

Oh that’s just one instance you say, surely that won’t continue in the future.

On the contrary my friend, this has been continually getting worse as time progresses. Look at Israel right now, they are trading 3 Hamas prisoners per one civilian hostage. These aren’t just run of the mill Hamas prisoners but hardened killers bent on killing more Jews in Israel. The mastermind of the Oct 7 attack was himself a released Hamas prisoner in a past exchange.

So let’s recap a bit here…..240 kidnapped in Israel on October 7 now equals 720 released killers from Israeli prisons. Doesn't sound like a great deal, especially when Israel will end up paying in blood somewhere down the road for bad decisions today.

How exactly is this a good trade? I’ll wait!

My Personal Beliefs ( so you know where I'm coming from)

I believe, that the United States of America is the best country in the world bar none.

I believe, the founding fathers wrote the Constitution of our country based on their belief in Christianity, and encouraged the practice of all religions but not at the expense of the others.

I believe, the Supreme Court should interpret the Constitution and not legislate from the bench.

I believe, the Constitution is a legal document, and not a living document subjected to constant change.

I believe, the course to peace is based on strong military, strong principles, and not a pacifist denial approach.

I believe, the second amendment is the right of every citizen in our country, and people not guns are the cause of murder.

I believe, in the death penalty as a form of public compliance to our laws.

I believe, a declared “hate crime” should not just be limited to describe the victimization of one race, or religion, but should be applied equally.

I believe, taxes are necessary to run our country and benefit our citizens, and not to give to foreign governments to “buy” friendships.

I believe, the government should have no right to tax a dead man’s estate on money he has already paid taxes on.

I believe, the President should have the power of the Line Item Veto.

I believe, that Senator’s and Congressmen should have term limits the same as the other elected officials.

I believe, that Senators and Congressmen should eliminate the word “entitlements” from their vocabulary.

I believe, that taxation in our country is disproportionate according to annual salaries, and serves to polarize citizens within the system.

I believe, “Affirmative Action” is neither affirmative nor action, and should be eliminated, as it’s just another form of prejudice.

I believe, that “pork barrel” or “earmarks” should be eliminated, as they are detrimental to budgetary constraints of our country.

I believe, in a balanced budget amendment with the exception of a declaration of war.

I believe, that if it’s so easy to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for a Presidential Position that pays $400K a year, then the amount raised should be taxed.

I believe, in governing our own country, and never handing power of a New World Order to the United Nations for any treaty.

I believe, to insure the safety of our citizens, we need to secure our borders and enforce existing immigration, and hiring laws.

I believe, that English should be formally declared our official language, and should be used in business dealings at home, and English should be taught in school systems to mainstream students.

I believe, that immigrants to our country should be made to assimilate to our culture, and not the other way around.

I believe, global warming is a reality, but to declare that man made emissions are the main cause, based primarily on computer based models, is akin to believing that weathermen can predict next week’s weather based on a “preponderance of evidence.”

I believe in term limits for Congress.

I believe that lobbyists should be banned in our country!

I believe that campaign funding should ONLY come from within a Congressman or Senators' HOME state!

There is one areas I don't agree with the official Republican Platform:

I believe in Gay, and Lesbian Rights

I do not believe in same sex marriage though
