Louie Gohmert calls Obama a "traitor"

Anyone know what PLANET Louie Gohmert is on?

Louie Gohmert: Obama Administration Is The 'Enemy Within'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 4/15/2015 12:05 pm

In an interview on Ohio Christian University’s “Faith & Liberty” radio program last week, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, blasted the Obama administration’s handling of the Iranian nuclear negotiations, claiming that the White House “betrayed” Israel “by showing their enemies their nuclear program.” “Those are the kind of things that an enemy does,” Gohmert said. “An enemy within. There will be consequences for the betrayals of this administration. As the leaders of our country, it is a little scary the kind of betrayals there have been.”

"enemy within" to Israel?
Allegiance is owed to one's OWN country, not to one on the other side of the world.
Friendship, yes; helping hand, yes but neither is an obligation, but a freely given form of friendship, which circumstances shown by the other country and change one's relations with that country. Israel hasn't shown the best of intentions lately.

We've been told that guns are going to be taken away; people are going to be put in FEMA re-education camps, and their children are going to be turned gay; that Obama is the anti-Christ which I would think would make them happy since isn't he needed to usher in the Rapture, or at least Armageddon, or whatever? We've been told this stuff for almost 8 years now. I'm almost beginning to think that maybe one side is engaging in hyperbole because they don't like President Obama.

If you love Israel so fucking bad, Gohmert Pyle, you should just move to it. Then we wouldn't have to listen to any of your stupid shit anymore.
