I think that it
is sad that the nation’s people focus all their attention on the trial of man
who shot and killed another man, a sad but rather common occurrence in the US
rather than the far more important trial or court marshal of Bradley Manning.
The Manning court marshal is so shrouded in secrecy and the MSM seemingly so
uninterested in it, that we find ourselves forgetting the monumental import that
the outcome of this trial will most certainly have on our lives and the futures
of our children and their offspring.
Obama's relentless efforts to cut us off
from learning, through brave and heroic citizens like Manning and Snowden,
about the criminal activity our government undertakes here and abroad, will
have dire future consequences for us. These brave whistleblowers broke the law
and their oaths knowing they were facing life sentences, lifetime in voluntary
exile from their beloved country and even the death penalty as in Manning’s
case to leak classified information as it was their patriotic duty to the people. They followed their conscience; they believed they had a moral and
ethical DUTY to inform us of dirty little secrets about our government that we have every right and reason to
know. It should please those who support the president that
whistle blowers are in fact serving to aide Obama in his pledge to be the most
transparent administration ever. Punishing them for giving aide to
the president is the most egregious case for “Damned if you do and double damned
if you don’t”
Are these brave
and honor-driven Americans not the type of men and women that we actually long
to have as leaders of this country? Are we not done yet with the slippery liars
and corrupt deceivers who treat each and
every one of us as public enemies and terrorists? If we allow these whistle blowers
be punished as traitors, are we not betraying the fundamental principles of our
nation? Are we then complicit in the crimes of the Obama administration...can
we live with that? If men like Snowden and Manning are willing to risk their
very lives for our once beloved principles, what then are we willing to risk? I
think it would be a simple thing to try to, at the very least, keep our eye on
the ball. No, not the tennis ball playing out in the other courtroom but the wrecking
ball playing out in the Manning Court Marshal.
Obama wants us distracted from
the important issues so the media aggressively covers the murder trial that has
the juicy racial connotations. Obama and his minions know that we like DRAMA
and that trial has plenty of that to keep us placated and occupied. Come on people, whites and blacks
kill each other sometimes, it is not a new story, therefore, it is far from “news”. While
everybody wonders if the blacks will riot or the whites protest after the
verdict Rome continues to burn. Let’s not show them our stupid sheep butts, let’s
show them our mule asses as we stubbornly stand behind, support and protect our
few remaining, courageous heroes! If we do not pay attention to what really
matters we will be sorrier than we can imagine.The ball is in our court now.
