Hump Day Pile of Prep-Who’s Surprised Obama Abused Powers In Bergdahl Swap?

Mandeville, LA – Mike Church‘s daily Pile of Prep, bringing you the day to day activity of the Constitution AND the Declaration of Independence and how it was framed in 1787. Plus the Bowe Bergdahl controversy demonstrates the real-world perils of our never-ending-war policy.  Read along with Mike’s historical viewpoint to help make sense of it all plus other [r]epublican stories used to perform the Mike Church Show on Sirius/XM Patriot channel 125. “The American government is plagued by systematic evil of mass proportions, but any tendency to peg the problem of evil as it is exhibited in The Hunger Games on American capitalism, American fascism, socialism, communism, totalitarianism, tyranny in general or simply “the State” is too easy. Too many Catholics attributed the evil they saw in these films to a faulty political system. We seem to want to politicize every problem in our society, but evil is a great and horrible mystery, not something we can vote away with a ballot or write away with a law or pin conveniently to an “-ism” — or even keep at bay through “vigilance.” – Ellen Finnigan

UPDATED: The WSJ claims a “secret video” was actually responsible for the urgency of the Bowe Bergdahl release

FLASHBACK: Bill & Slick Hilly Clinton conspired with then Attorney Eric Holder for the release of 14 FALN Terrorists in 1999. We know this because Dear Leader used this as one of the issue he beat Slick Hilly up with in Democrat debates in 2008

The din or our age is the din of ignorance as anyone can seemingly be induced into repeating something ignorant in the pursuit of Social Media glory. Case in point, I say DOZENS of people linking to THIS STORY purporting to “confirm” that Bowe Bergdalh left a note renouncing his citizenship and his “desertion” but…

Read this story and learn that there is no “confirmation” instead, the “officials” who anonymously squeel in the story only “suspect” that Bergdahl may have deserted. The entire story is dotted with non-conclusive innuendo amid regurgitations of what is already publicly known

LIB REVOLT: Obama is said to have exceeded even his expanded view of his own powers and that’s saying an awful lot since Obama knows NO limits to his power

The Gitmo Paradox: Want to make sure Obama can’t release anyone else from Gitmo without a pardon? Then CONVICT them of something

TAPPER: Fellow soldier HEARD Bergdahl ask for Taliban to talk to, days after he went “missing”

Patrick J Buchanan: All the Bergdahl swap does is continue the polarization begun so many years ago that is now seemingly unstoppable

How did the Founding Fathers deal with terrorists in their day – The Barbary Pirates – And what we can glean from those dealing

Why won’t Catholic media call out the evil that is prevalent in modern media/cinema like in The Hunger Games? Instead, the evil is not evil but the result of a broken political system and “corruption” but what is human corruption if not the staining of a human soul with spots of evil?

Here’s a homeschool course for teens who want to read the Hunger Games then gain a Christian review of the unjust violence it glorifies in the name of “love”

TIC: The degradation of the term conservative by those who attach commercial and political meaning to it is going to cause irreparable harm to the practice of conserving the good and beautiful and needs to be identified as a cancer and then removed

Even Keynesian, redistributionist hacks at CNN Money have to confess that the “recovery” of 2009-present has been the most lopsided in history with big finance, big stock and big business taking the free truckloads of Fed liquidity all the way to their 5th houses in the Hamptons

The BernYankMe/Yellin housing bubble is about to explode, will Boehner & crew be at the ready to hand out cry rags and TARP checks for those “too big to fail (FANNIE MAE)” this time? Answer=Yes, because for Fannie to fail is for the U.S. Treasury to fail

50 years ago LBJ had Hillary and company embark on “The Great Society”, the quest never delivered the sappy, not-detailed progressive schlock Johnson appeared to propose, or did he?

The State of Louisiana passes new laws to restrict spending the Great Society’s welfare benefits

Was Bowe Bergdahl a traitor or deserter? To use the term traitor as is fashionable to hurl at anyone who questions the warfare state is premature.

The Bergdahl digital paper trail, which is being heralded as proof positive of his less than heroic performance in the army in Afghanistan, is emerging and just as we talked about on today’s program, once your personal correspondence gets into the digital realm there is no putting it back

So you think the homosexual offensive against anyone who maintains their “lifestyle” is abhorrent or contravenes their religious beliefs is limited to photographers and cake salesmen? think again. The “couple” in Colorado that was “disrespected” is running around boasting and bragging that the cake shop must now “respect everyone” entering their cake shop. Who is being discriminated against now? David Mullins, the “disrespected” customer told CBS News. “That the canons of conservatism must beg to be defended against present-day pretenders who mask their ambitions and antinomies under the rubric of conservatism points to a rampant confusion in the ranks of conservatives. Indeed, some conservatives seem to be searching frantically for another word, another designation, that better defines and authenticates their conservative identity and allegiance. The damage done to the meaning of conservatism in the great tradition from Edmund Burke to T. S. Eliot, from Richard Weaver and Russell Kirk to Claes Ryn and George Carey in more recent times is inestimable.”

The History Channels quasi-documentaries on “The World Wars” is filled with non-scholar “experts” like Dick Cheney and other endless war-advocates. To get a grasp on the real history of the complex events that led to the Soviet Union, the German rise of Hitler and the  eventual start of WWII, check this piece and the six part BBC series “Behind Closed Doors”

Only libs in media could bemoan the trend that more women are becoming stay-at-home moms because “there are no jobs for them”

Spyin’ Eyes – The NSA is collecting over 50,000 facial images per day, cataloguing and storing them for future use meaning to match you to a location in the past or present

Culture of Death expands. Robert Reich thinks that insane people like me, who think all life is precious and should be protected AND desire to keep what I have earned through my own labors, are literally killing women who are being forced to have babies they should have been able to abort or use contraceptives (subsidized by me) to prevent altogether

Reich’s May 14 column is titled “Right wing policies are literally killing women.” First off, the term “literally” should be used to define something that is done in writing, second

What happens when a society attains the ability to pretend that its citizens can actually know things they have no actual knowledge of? Then again who needs to read great books when you can read what someone else has written about the work by doing a google search?

Will “gotcha” journalism’s epidemic, which has now infected “bloggers” in MS who support Chris McDaniel, cost McDaniel in his bid to unseat incumbent U.S. Senator Thad Cochran?

What does this mean? “Putin is a wake up call for what a post-America world would look like”? You mean what a post-American MILITARY occupied and directed world would look like?

Srdja Trifkovic delivers a point by point rebuttal to Dear Leader’s speech at West Point, a MUST READ for those who have unquenched thirst for robust, non DeceptiCON, Obama bashing

Obama’s plan to defy Posse Comitatus, Article I Section 10 of Constitution by self appointing military action against American citizens to surpress rebellion or citizen unrest. BEar in mind that the Constitutional power at issue requires the “executive or application of the legislature” of a state, request the federal assistance

ABBEVILLE: Brion McClanhan’s wonderful essay on the life and times of Patrick Henry as the real federalist beau ideal, not the derisive “anti-federalist” title his jealous enemies tried to hang on his legacy.

Mordor on the Potomac, the vampire feeding off the wages of the rest of the continent only this vampire is breeding itself a ruling class growing more fat by the year while everyone else gets the Nutra-System treatment. The author suggests cutting spending but that will just send the louts to regroup for the next assault, the only real solution is to disssolve the lair and disperse the human parasites to try their hand at feeding off revenue taken-taxes-not borrowed

While we’re on the subject, just why does Mordor need to build an additional 10 nuclear attack subs seeing as how we already have 70? This $18 BILLION hole in the water we’ll poiur resources into is the reason the “durable goods” number spiked last month. Nothing to see here citizen, eat your Michelle Obama approved food purchased with printed/borrowed money and move along…toward that 2800 ft tall cliff straight ahead

I wonder what John McCain would advise President Obama to do if a Syrian citizen donned a suicide vest and blew up a CIA building in Dallas? Of course, when an American citizen dons that vest and blows up a government building in Syria he gets an “attaboy” from McCain et al. Will Assad get the joke?

America-Secede Or Die. The Great State of Jefferson is about to become a reality if NoCal voters approve the measure to go to the next step (likely). Will Sacramento send in troops to put down the rebellion?

PagaNation: For you who remain unconvinced that the war we are most urgently going to be fighting, very soon, is for the very souls or souls of our civilization. The SSM, “there can be no rules based on Faith in professional life” crowd has just won the day in Britain where Catholics training to become M.D.’s in OBGYN are told they are better off EMIGRATING than trying to gain a license in the U.K. This is coming to the U.S. and anyone who thinks the Tea Party or the “grass roots” is going to stop it is woefully mis-informed.

PagaNation II: The Pagans are back and they are angry. Now comes a pair of homosexual activists at UVA who file a FOIA request for a professors cellphone records and travel records because…wait for it… he openly opposes SSM

Scratch Governor Bobby Jindal off the [r]epublican list (if he was ever on it). The geniuses in the LA Legislature, who have presided over the evisceration of private property and low tax integrity (LA is in top 10 for declining median income since 2001) now want to try their hand at “fixing the healthcare system” while guaranteeing coverage for pre-existing conditions. That’s a fancy way of saying that everyone who is healthy is guaranteed either A. higher premiums or B. Reduced benefits under current premiums

NEW – If you wonder why I refuse to deviate from the opposition to our bellicose foreign policy and all that it conjures up, read this most important essay about the effects of “War, Power and Supremacy” Here’s an excerpt. “Except for the inhabitants of certain former states of the Confederacy, particu- larly Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia, Americans have no experience at the other end of the process of radicalization. They have not suffered the fate of having been demonized, followed by savage in- vasion where no quarter is given, commu- nities laid waste—and that succeeded by a period of occupation replete with the usual antics of unscrupulous exploita- tion and further brutalizing acts. Lacking such a historical memory, finding it easy to dismiss the Southern experience, and, furthermore, being inclined by nature and education to discount history in general, Americans lack both the internalized ex- perience of the vanquished and the incli- nation to suspect a political establish- ment that promotes such barbarism as a new principle of global supremacy.”

The Fame of Our Fathers: What makes a famous Founder famous and why are so many, once famous, now not known at all? The answer lies partly in the fickleness of any given age and what it needs to exalt itself, the rest comes from the Founders own pursuit of Fame as I chronicled in Fame of Our Fathers. Here’s an audio sample explaining “conditores imperiorum” and you can buy the 3 CD set there
