I was composing something else earlier, but saw something on Facebook earlier that had me in a ranting mood. Specifically, this image on the Facebook page of Right Wing News.
I know that the Obama hate runs deep in 25 percent land. But good grief. They seriously think a bad day with a war criminal is better than any day with Obama?
One of my Facebook friends posted this on her wall, and I immediately pointed out that Bush was, by any standard, a war criminal. One of her friends replied that Bush was indeed "much better than Nobama." I replied that Bush lied us into a war and at the very least looked the other way during the torture of detainees.
This other guy's reply? Obama was worse because we traded a deserter for terrorists. Never mind that Bowe Bergdahl was NOT a deserter according to the UCMJ--as has been mentioned several times, he never intended to "remain away" from his unit "permanently." And he also claimed that terrorists have no rights under the Geneva Conventions--conveniently forgetting about the Fourth Convention.
These, ladies and gentlemen, are the people propping up a major party in this country. And this is why this country's political climate has become so toxic. When people think that a war criminal is actually better than Obama, something is very wrong.
