Commander-in-Chief’s Definition of “Honorable Service” Includes Anti-American Actions While in Uniform; He Just Destroyed Troop Morale The Obama administration tells America this soldier served “with honor and distinction.” (http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/susan-rice-bergdahl-served-honor-and-distinction_794066.html) No, Mr. President, a soldier expressing horrid anti-American beliefs – even boldly putting them in writing and unabashedly firing off his messages (http://nypost.com/2014/05/31/the-bizarre-tale-of-americas-last-known-pow/) while in uniform, just three days before he left his unit on foot – is not “honorable service.” Unless that is your standard. Please use your White House Rose Garden to praise the truly honorable service of our good U.S. troops who were killed in their search for Sgt. Bergdahl (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/06/02/we-lost-soldiers-in-the-hunt-for-bergdahl-a-guy-who-walked-off-in-the-dead-of-night.html). Praise the soldiers who fought with everything they had to defeat Islamic terrorists, those whom you just freed from prison. Our men gave all. Our surviving combat vets will forever live with the effects of the missions they willingly engaged in to protect you, our country, and certainly their brothers and sisters who are proud to wear the uniform. You blew it again, Barack Obama, by negotiating away any leverage against the bad guys as these bad guys – Osama Bin Laden’s partners in evil crime – joyfully celebrate their “win” in the deal you sealed.
Six years later, Palin still can’t get over losing the 2008 election to Barack Obama. She has become warped by her self-pity and frothing resentment over not getting to be vice president. As the years go by, and she becomes an oddball historical blip among the list of losers, Palin has descended into completely un-American behavior. Sarah Palin hates the country that rejected her, and she sees President Obama as the personification of that rejection.
In a broader context, Palin is the parrot that echos the ugly feelings of the conservative movement. Palin attacked a soldier who was held captive for five years. That is really all anyone needs to know about Sarah Palin.

Palin as a political entity is nothing more than a noisy ghostly relic of the previous decade, but it is the people that agree with her that merit our attention. Those who believe in Sister Sarah’s style of traitor conservatism will be heading to the polls this November. These are the same folks who plagued the country with the dysfunctional tea partiers in the House, and they are looking to spread their disease to the Senate.
Pay no attention to Palin herself, but the vile cesspool that she is echoing is the reason why Democrats and Independents must show up and vote in 2014.
