Is it January 20, 2017 yet? No? Well hurry up! You see, we really, and I mean REALLY need President Pen and Phone to put his damn pen down! First we are blindsided by the commutation of traitor Bradley Manning’s sentence.
Then Obama pardons unrepentant FALN terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera.
“I am an enemy of the United States government,” he told federal judge Thomas McMillen in 1983. There is no evidence that he’s changed his mind.
During the 1970s and 80s, López Rivera’s FALN placed more than 130 bombs in American cities. Their goal was to destabilize what they called the “Yanki capitalist monopoly” and achieve Puerto Rican independence. Their method was terrorism.
What a super nice guy! I mean really, he only helped kill 5 people including an NYPD police officer and injure dozens of others over the course of 10 plus years. But that was then I guess.
Fact is, he had a chance to be pardoned several years ago. The reason why he wasn’t is…illuminating.
In 1999, President Bill Clinton offered to commute the sentences of 16 imprisoned FALN members. Most accepted, but López Rivera choked on the condition that he renounce his terrorist past. In 1998, he’d told a reporter, “The whole thing of contrition, atonement, I have problems with that.”
Wanna bet that renouncing his terrorist past wasn’t a condition of Obama’s pardon? Likely because Obama bought the line of garbage that Rivera supporters have been peddling.
“Oscar has never been convicted of a crime, Oscar has never hurt anybody, he was never involved in any action that hurt anybody, he strictly believed in independence of Puerto Rico, and he was jailed for his political beliefs,” she claimed at a June 2015 rally on the steps of City Hall.
Meanwhile, those who’ve been doing the happy dance since the pardon are a stellar bunch.

And then there’s this…
Thank you @POTUS for freeing #OscarLopezRivera. Congratulations to all who fought for this day, including Speaker @MMViverito.

Yes, you read that correctly. That’s the Mayor of New York cheering the pardon of a major terrorist. Cheering.
you know he bombed and killed NYC residents right? (That's the city you're mayor of btw)
@POTUS @MMViverito— Dave Gray (@docgray81) January 18, 2017
His FALN conducted four terrorist bombings of New York City, killing five New Yorkers and injuring 64 other residents.
Resign now.#PJNET https://t.co/U8auOwnl1c

Definitely a new low for de Blasio, Obama, and America. Obama, in fact, doesn’t care two hoots about America. Ben Stein was absolutely correct.

So is Andrew McCarthy. Obama has thoroughly embraced terrorists, communists, enemies of the United States, and traitors to our country. Criticize Obama? Potential jail or slammed by the IRS. Americans such as James Foley and Steven Sotkolf? Oh yeah, ISIS JV team – no biggie. How about these Americans?
Let’s blame it on a freaking video and jail the guy! Oh wait? It wasn’t a video? Who cares, when’s my next golf game?
Terrorists sowing chaos, fear, and death at Fort Hood, San Bernardino, Orlando, Chattanooga … Golly gee. Someone better get a handle on that pesky workplace violence stuff. Meanwhile, isn’t it time to fill out the sports brackets? Never mind…vacation time!
Think I’m being too harsh? Think again. Take a look at Obama’s track record of dealing with Cuba, Iran, Syria, and even Russia. Take a look at how he deals with our friends. Then take a very close look at how he deals with Americans injured or killed on his watch by terrorists. Charles Krauthammer is absolutely on point.

Once again, Obama’s hypocrisy is showing. This time he chose terrorists and traitors over his own country. Manning’s commutation and Rivera’s pardon is a disgraceful slap in the face to every American. January 20, 2017 can’t get here fast enough.
Oscar has never been convicted of a crime
WTFH?!?!? You mean he’s just in jail because he likes the 3 hots and a cot?
THIS, btw, is why the death penalty. If you kill those deserving of death, then you don’t have to worry about some anti-American a-hole letting them out of prison later!
Exactly what I thought when I read that!!
I’d say they think he’s just another misguided person who was …you know…community organizing something. Only with bombs, not words and protests.
I see now that Oscar was found guilty of sedition. They couldn’t quite pin the actual murders and bombings on him. So, he wasn’t convicted of a crime – except, you know, the crime of running a revolution to overthrow the gov’t of the USA.
Little Oscar…….another chance for Ozymandias-on-the-Potomac to shovel forth yet another B O L O G N A.
As for Manning….well…LGBTQXYZ trumps any-and-everything and MUST (dare I say, MUST, dahlink) be celebrated and affirmed above all else. Manning will be the toast of the town post-release and the poster child for Trannies everywhere.
Rule of Law….you’ve been Obama-ized yet again.
Friday’s coming!!!!!!
Tomorrow Bergdahl.
