Politics & Racism as Hollyweird Left is Out to Destroy American Sniper


This past weekend, records at the box office were broken as the TRUE story of an American PATRIOT and HERO opened in theaters nation wide.

Warner Brothers is reporting that American Sniper is set to post a Friday-through-Sunday of $90.2M with a cume ( "cumulative audience", is a measure of the total number of unique consumers over a specified period). By tomorrow, with the MLK holiday, the Village Roadshow co-prod cume is looking to post a four-day of $105.2M and an overall cume of $108.6M. Unheard of for any wide release at this time of year. What record did the movie American Sniper NOT break?

THE LEFT ATTACKS AN AMERICAN PATRIOT AND HERO

While American Sniper was breaking box office records, multiple Academy members had been passing around a recent article by Dennis Jett in The New Republic (a liberal American magazine of commentary on politics and the arts published continuously since 1914that attacks the film for making a hero out of Kyle, who said: “The enemy are savages and despicably evil,” and his “only regret is that I didn’t kill more.” Kyle made the statements in his best-selling book, American Sniper, on which the film is based.

YET as Dennis Jett who enjoys the freedom of speech that Chris Kyle and many others have defended, he does admit, "I have not seen American Sniper" seemingly basing his opinion on the official trailer. ...OM

As Jett continued in his article which was written in the safety of his Ivy Tower and having never seen combat, "For him, the enemy are savages and despicably evil. His only regret is that he didn’t kill more. He laments that there were rules of engagement, or ROE, which he describes as being drafted by lawyers to protect generals from politicians. He argues instead for letting warriors loose to fight wars without their hands tied behind their backs. At another point, he boasts that the unofficial ROE were pretty simple: “If you see anyone from about sixteen to sixty-five and they’re male, shoot ‘em. Kill every male you see.” (Does Jett see anything wrong or condemn the current Drone attacks by our Clown in Chief. I doubt it. The IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE is that Chris Kyle could make the last minute to shoot or not. Unlike a drone attack, Chris Kyle would take one shot and get one kill while a drone attack can kill 50 civilians for every terrorist target. How about our Clown in Chief's current air campaign, does Jett complain that without "boots" on the ground to direct the air strikes, civilians are killed? I certainly doubt it. Thank God for heroes like Chris Kyle and other snipers out there who have the training and common sense to decide whether to shoot or not to shoot...OM)

May I also remind Jett of WW 2 and the depiction of the Japanese.

         

Of course there are those that have no idea of the horrors of combat, the training involved and most importantly the idea of PATRIOTISM and PRIDE that underlies our military and the American people.

One such "protected" writer is Lindy West who wrote an article for The Guardian asking, “The real American Sniper was a hate-filled killer. Why are simplistic patriots treating him as a hero?” One answer to that question: Because many Americans are unable to accept that nothing was won in Iraq, and that the sacrifices Kyle and others made were not worth it. More fundamentally, treating Kyle as a patriot and ignoring any other possibility allows Americans to ignore the consequences of invading a country that had no weapons of mass destruction, had nothing to do with 9/11, and had no meaningful ties to Al Qaeda (our invasion, of course, changed that) 

Hey Lindy, hate to break it to you, BUT nothing was won in Iraq as the off spring of al-Qaeda, ISIL (ISIS) is on the move. By the Lindy, WMDs were found in Iraq as reported by those outstanding conservative stalwarts U.S. News & World Report and New York Times...OM

Another Academy member, who had not yet seen the film but had read the article, told TheWrapHe seems like he may be a sociopath.

Then of course there is that HUGE unamerican Michael Moore, an Oscar voter and former Academy governor from the Documentary Branch, who tweeted on Sunday, “My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren’t heroes. And invaders r worse.

Moore needs to be reminded, the use of snipers has been around since the beginning of warfare, in fact the British used snipers during our Revolution, just as we used them. Ever hear of Sgt York?...OM

Is this a campaign by the Left to degrade this movie because Selma was snubbed for best picture and ensure that American Sniper and Clint Eastwood does not win Best Picture.

Or is it like, about six months after 9-11, the left saw America coming together, united against a common enemy and celebrating America and had to do all they could to divide America in order to continue their Socialist agenda. Are they using the same tactics as they once again see Americans coming together to celebrate an American Patriot and Hero and will do all they can to destroy and degrade Chris Kyle.

Are YOU going to allow them or are you going to support American Sniper.

You decide and let me know what you think.

Semper Fi!

Deserter Bowe Bergdahl: Continued Pentagon Cover Up

Nearly five months after the release of Taliban prisoner Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl (Calling him Sgt is an insult to ALL who have EARN the rank...OM), the military has yet to release a report on Bergdahl leaving deserting his Afghanistan post in 2009 that also makes recommendations on whether he should be punished. (If he isn't punished, that would mean ANY member of the military who decides to desert his post would / should go unpunished, an extremely bad precedent will be set or has that precedent already been set some 20+ years ago with the case of Robert Russell Garwood, another case that it my opinion had political overtones considering we had a Draft Dodging Commander in Chief in the White house...OM)

The Pentagon says it is not holding up the decision, though the review by Army Gen. Kenneth Dahl was finished in early October. (Waiting for Boo Boo's intervention? ...OM)

Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, recently acknowledged the report has been completed and said it is under review.

“As you know, in this building that can sometimes take a while, especially for major investigations like this," he said. (Considering that the Pentagon has become more about politics then about defense. ...OM)

Desertion in the military is technically punishable by death. But given the circumstances of Bergdahl's case, such a sentence is essentially out of the realm of possibility. (Why?...OM)

Editor's Note:

ARTICLE 85. DESERTION

Did Bergdahl

(a) Any member of the armed forces who–

(1) without authority goes or remains absent from his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent to remain away there from permanently; YES.

(2) quits his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent to avoid hazardous duty or to shirk important service; or - YES

(3) without being regularly separated from one of the armed forces enlists or accepts an appointment in the same or another on of the armed forces without fully disclosing the fact that he has not been regularly separated, or enters any foreign armed service except when authorized by the United States; is guilty of desertion.

(b) Any commissioned officer of the armed forces who, after tender of his resignation and before notice of its acceptance, quits his post or proper duties without leave and with intent to remain away therefrom permanently is guilty of desertion.


(c) Any person found guilty of desertion or attempt to desert shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct, (WAS AMERICA AT WAR...YES! DID BERGDAHL LEAVE HIS POST WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION?...YES! Whats the problem?) but if the desertion or attempt to desert occurs at any other time, by such punishment, other than death, as a court-martial may direct.

Bergdahl, the only American prisoner in the war deserter in Afghanistan, could face a lesser administrative punishment including forfeiture of back pay or even jail time. But Army officials are acutely aware of the potential political backlash that could follow severely punishing a prisoner of war  deserter. (Since when does "political backlash" have any influence on the Military Justice system?...OM)

Meanwhile, Bergdahl is still serving as a sergeant(Be interesting to hear him giving a lower rank instructions / orders...OM) at Fort Sam Houston in Texas. He has a desk job with the Army after being held captive for roughly five years, much of that time spent in a metal box (Where's the proof? Considering there are photos of him holding a weapon and playing soccer. Isn't the first duty of an American POW as explained by Article 3 of the Code of Conduct:



Article III
a. If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy. ...OM)

Bergdahl’s May 2014 release, which was secured by exchanging five high-value Taliban detainees from the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, has sparked widespread controversy.

Soon after President Obama announced the exchange, many of Bergdahl’s former unit members spoke out, calling him a deserter, saying he put fellow soldiers’ lives at risk. (Accessory before and after the fact?...OM)

At least some Republican lawmakers think it was a bad deal. (So do a lot of the American people....OM)

Sen. John McCain referred to the prisoners as “the Taliban dream team.”

"These are the worst of the worst, the hardest of the hardest,” the Arizona Republican (And former REAL POW...OM) told Fox News. “I can't tell you how dangerous these people are."

Now, California GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter, a former Marine (HEY FoxNews, There is NO SUCH THING as a FORMER MARINE...OM), wants to know whether the swap included a ransom and if the United States was swindled. (And the American people and the Critters will never know, just like Benghazi, Fast and Furious, IRS targeting scandal and the list goes on and on ad nauseam...OM)

"It has been brought to my attention that a payment was made to an Afghan intermediary who ‘disappeared’ with the money and failed to facilitate Bergdahl's release in return," Hunter wrote Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in a Nov. 4 letter.

The alleged payment, Hunter says, was made in February through the Joint Special Operations Command and might have exceeded $1 million.

“Number one, you can't pay ransoms,” Hunter told Fox News. “Number two, if there is an exceptional case when you can get an American back, then there ought to be some oversight and there has to be some congressional purview over this -- and there hasn't been. I mean the (Defense Department) can't break the law and have no repercussions whatsoever.”

The Pentagon told Hunter on Friday that no money was exchanged and that paying ransom is indeed against the law.

“There was no ransom paid,” Kirby told reporters. “Nor was there an attempt to do so that failed.”

Hunter’s office still alleges that FBI operatives and members of the Army’s elite Delta Force orchestrated a botched cash exchange and says the congressman will request a formal investigation of the matter by the Defense Department’s inspector general.

The deal purportedly involved Delta members giving the money to an informant who disappeared instead of giving Bergdahl to FBI agents at a predetermined spot inside Afghanistan, on the border with North Waziristan.

Concerns about the circumstances of the prisoner swap have increased in the wake of the Islamic State executing five Americans in the past four months.

The president has ordered a review of how American hostages are handled by the U.S. government. (In other words, Boo Boo wants America to START negotiating with terrorists...OM)

Families of the beheaded Americans have issued complaints about how their sons’ cases were handled. However, the White House says it has no plans to allowing ransom to be paid for hostages. (YEA RIGHT,,,OM)
