The New Mumia

[Geee]

American Spectator:

The left has found a new face for the "injustice" committed in America's name: Pfc. Bradley Manning, the Army private alleged to have provided WikiLeaks with hundreds of thousands of State and Defense Department classified e-mails. Manning is now the focus of a campaign that accuses his jailers of torture.

Liberal core values -- to the extent that liberals have any values at all -- proceed from two assumptions. First, that American criminal law must be unjust because people are not prosecuted -- or protected -- on the basis of their political beliefs. Second only to that, is that America -- and by derivation, its secrets -- are not worthy of defense.

Pity Wesley Cook, the Philly cop killer also known as Mumia abu Jamal. For decades, ballads to Mumia's "innocence" were sung, t-shirts printed and protests made loudly in his name because, to the left, he was a victim of racism, not a murderer. Now, still rotting in well-earned imprisonment, Mumia is passé.

Enter Bradley Manning, a more fortuitous blend of modern liberal values. Pfc. Manning is gay and was for months characterized as having leaked the classified documents because he was angry at the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law which prevented him from proclaiming his homosexuality elsewhere than his Facebook page. Manning, who allegedly copied the vast quantity of classified material onto "Lady Gaga" rewritable music disks, has been in custody since May.

So the left wants to make Manning the poster boy for Gays in the Military?

Folks so unstable because of their sexual preferences that the dump mountains of classified information for the world and our enemies to see... not knowing what was contained or who could be killed or injured by their act.

 

If this is the narrative that the left embraces... we should believe that these "soldiers" would do the same or worse if the military issues them olive drab boxers rather than stylish spandex guy thongs.

 

Repression at its worst...Oh the humanity!

NCTexan! Well said!

 

The left lives in a perpetual daydream of molly-coddling. It is a fantasy life, without any real consequences.

 

Need money? We'll take it from someone else & give it to you.

 

Angry because you don't fit into normalcy? We'll legislate approval & make sure you don't pay any penalty for your actions.

 

If you are so bold as to insist that others accept.....or absolutely approve of your life-style....then you should be willing to act as a responsible adult; or accept the consequences for your actions.

 

Hang him, he's not worth a bullet.

Seem to me this guy is getting of easy

 

Ethel Greenglass Rosenberg (September 28, 1915 – June 19, 1953) and Julius Rosenberg (May 12, 1918 – June 19, 1953) were American communists who were executed in 1953 for conspiracy to commit espionage. The charges related to passing information about the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union. This was the first execution of civilians for espionage in United States history.[1]
