Manning should be stood up at a wall and shot 'til killed dead.



And Ron Paul does not deserve to be dogcatcher after calling him a hero.

Yup. Let every Ronbot you know know about this.

I gave up on the presidential election a long time ago. Better to just give up on this one and start getting ready for 2016. We just fucking ran out of time, I guess. It's hard to tell what happened. I guess I always thought that a quality candidate would jump into the field. It never happened.

I'm not a Ron Paul supporter at all. I don't support the actions of Bradley Manning either. I was simply pointing out the obvious, there, bud. You're being a little ridiculous now. Like a parody of yourself.

I agree, but Ron Paul was never a friend of America. His foreign policy and anti-military stance shows that.

I'm not really liking the options of who the top guys for the republican primary at the moment. To be honest if I knew that the conservative supreme court justices could hold on for four more years I'd rather have Obama in then Romney or Newt, at least all laws would be deadlocked.

Both Newt and Romney give the conservative/republican a bad name. Why do the Democrats ALWAYS get the most liberal mother fuckers in but we can't get someone who even leans center right?

No kidding.  Although perhaps the answer is that the Republican Party has on the aggregate become centre-right at best.  



I found it interesting that Irving Kristol stated that the goal of his political movement was to convert the Republican Party and Conservative Movement against their collective wills to be, in essence, progressive and that his political movement (neoconservatism, a name chosen apparently to take advantage of conservatives) seems to be predominant among the party leadership.  It is essentialy a temperamentally conservative progressive movement and belongs on the Left side of the political spectrum.

I still support Ron Paul.

Manning isn't exactly my idea of a hero, but some of the activities that were exposed in his leaked information weren't exactly honest or proper, either (assuming the info was true).

He leaked the frequencies to the jammers we use to jam IED's. This led to the deaths of US troops and allies. He also leaked names of our allies and informants which led to more deaths. Ron Paul is aware of this yet he calls him a hero and true patriot?

That's okay with you?

Please cite what good things he leaked.

Paul has made yet another bad decision here...

Manning has balls in doing what he did. That said, he released information, during time of war, that seriously compromises aspects of US national security.

He's a traitor, albeit a brave one. Bravery does not make his actions right or legal though. It actually kinda makes it worse, IMO. He managed to muster up the cojones to sell out his brothers and sisters in uniform. There is no lower pit of hell than for traitors.

As a buddy of mine said when asked about him, "He can push ex-Maj. Hassan's wheelchair when they both go to the gallows, for all I care."

Lying about civilian deaths?  Looking the other way when Iraqi soldiers and policemen allegedly tortured, raped and killed people?

I'm not a Manning fan and have no problem with our .gov "throwing the book" at him, so to speak.  But the information he leaked suggests that this same book needs to be thrown at some other people, too.

If that's in fact his rationale (because it's a shitty excuse for a "reason"), then my initial statement is a grossly inaccurate assessment.

Assuming you're right about the why, that removes any possible quality to Manning as a person. Betrayal is bad enough––but if it's done for honestly held reasons, I can credit the traitor for at least standing tall in his beliefs. Now, if the reason is something petty and spiteful, well, then that removes even the small, unalloying bit of credit the person may have received.

What oath did they take?  Even if they had, they were openly supporting a rebellion to a nation they no longer felt loyal to.  If that's the comparison you are basically giving a pass to someone that has called a traitor to the same country he wants to be president of a hero.
