  1. I think I may finally understand the leftist viewpoint:

    In a perfected, Utopian world, what this guy is saying is right and correct. When the whole world joins hands around the campfire to sing Kumbayah, and all the swords everywhere beaten into plowshares, and everyone gave willingly from their rice bowl to others less fortunate but still trying, and the lion and the lamb lay down together ... then no, you don’t need borders. You don’t care about government secrets because there is no government, or perhaps only one, but it’s hardly necessary as everyone is so moral and good-natured and loving anyway ...

    But such a perfect Christian world (except the Left’s version has no Christ in it) will never exist. The world is filled with crazy, violent, nasty, selfish, evil, hateful, abusive, envious, cunning, jealous, psychopathic, rat bastards just itching to pull down anyone and everyone who has made the effort to make their lives even a tiny bit better than someone else’s. So you need countries. With borders. And secrets. The Great Game goes on forever; it’s always been with us and it will never go away. You are a citizen of some country, and in exchange for sharing in whatever public beneficence your nation provides the expectation is that you will be loyal to that nation. This idea is about 1000 times more important if you belong to that nation’s military or government. The most simple idea of honor and honesty and nationalism: don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

    And so Bradly Manning is a traitor. One without honor who purposely betrayed his country.

    And should be shot. To death.

    He is no hero.

    But to the Left, acting as if Utopia already existed helps bring it about. So they applaud that level of naivete, or underhanded actions that can pretend to be so. Actually, they’re ALL TRAITORS in the Jane Fonda mold and worse, and the ONLY thing that they can “grasp” in their inside out minds is “US BAD, shithole-istan tyranny dung-heap disease-ridden flyspeck country GOOD”, so they ALL actively act against the existence of this country as it is. So of course Manning is a hero to them. As is Obama, the Irrelevance Of The United States, IOTUS (which also acronymically co-monikers him close to “iota” a Greek word meaning “just about nothing"), who promised “in 5 days when my rule begins” to “fundamentally transform” this country, and is doing his best to do so.

  2. The more I learn about Bradley Manning, the more I come to realize that he was a mental misfit who never should have been in the Army. 

    When I learned that he suffered from gender dysphoria (he thinks he’s a girl), my jaw dropped.  What place did he think he had in the Army?  The stress created for him by his presence in the military under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, would have rendered him dangerously unstable at best.  That assumes that he personally was comfortable with the conflict between his mental image of himself and his physical being. 

    For that matter how did someone 5’2” tall manage to pass the physical requirements?  I’m going to guess that he qualified under the reduced, unisex requirements of our forcibly politically correct military.

    Bradley Manning’s trial is a perfect example of Liberal political correctness and its consequences.  I know perfectly well that Manning is not the first U.S. Soldier to suffer from gender dysphoria or to be homosexual, but before Manning, they understood going in what they would have to deal with.  There was no nudge and wink that they thought might cover them.  In one sense at least, they manned up before signing their papers and in general, served honorably.  Manning was relieved of that understanding with horrible consequences.

    As far as his act itself, I’ll admit to a certain amount of conflict.  I despise government secrecy in general, but I also understand the need for secrets to be kept.  In Manning’s case though, there was little public benefit and a huge amount of harm done.  Unless some serious facts emerge during his trial that exonerate him, I’d vote for prompt execution.  Let the next misguided quasi spy think about that before he compromises the security of the U.S.
