freedom235 USN Retired This user account status is Approved Comments Comments Posts Posts Leaking hundreds of thousands of documents while being paid by the US government whilst a soldier ISN'T anything to be proud of, rather treasonous!!! Pardon Assange, pardon Snowden, these are patriots. Manning was a US soldier...thus, not cool. I'm quite sure that the Taliban was quite happy though. Now can we get back to liberating the Palestinians now folks and get off this nonsense??? On For Chelsea Manning — Freedom! It is escapes me, this idiotic notion that this sworn to oath US Army soldier would be considered a hero to anyone, especially by individuals who obviously have never spent a day serving their nation and probably have little respect for concepts such as honor, duty, esprit de corps, and loyalty. On For Chelsea Manning — Freedom! I guarantee that the dirt bags depicted here are the exception, not the rule. I could find dozens of examples of "deplorable" behavior of left-wing crazies...just visit any college campus or inner city in the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52KH2-rR3EE For every one of these racist knuckleheads, there are hundreds of thousands of decent, tolerant, hard working people who are tired of drowning in a sea of debt and "progressive" policies that further weaken our nation. I submit that If "Shillary" were elected we would be far worse off as she is beholden to everyone ACCEPT the American people and first and foremost to the likes of Soros and company that gave her campaign millions upon millions. I don't like Netanyahu or his cronies anymore than most of you do, but it's going to take far-and-away greater the notion of not electing Donald Trump in order to shake off Israel's influence and corruption. I'm not sure what it's take to do this, but I'm pretty certain it's going to take a great deal of bravery, humility, and resilience. On Day One in Trump’s America Kudos to the brave Ali we certainly need more of this on the public stage! I'd have liked to have witnessed this at the RNC in Cleveland as well. I will never understand how both the Dems as well as the Repubs got so corrupt, and the zionists so damn entrenched in this Country. Walking through the historical areas of Philly, one quickly realizes the depths of character - how great many of our leaders were in their drive to create a nation dedicated to the ideals of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", as well as the sacrifices made to do so. The sellouts, the corrupt, selfish, deceptive criminals that run this country - as well as their minions - have no where close the integrity and depth of character that it took to create this nation! Kurnaz had the stones to step away from the herd and follow his conscience. Evil forces wish to keep the status quo of the criminal, racist state that is Israel. God bless him, we in the US need more of this bravery desperately! On Meet Ali Kurnaz, young Democratic leader who lifted Palestinian flag on convention floor Bryan, when looking at the overall dilemma and utter disaster that the country has been put through with our so-called "representatives", you must assess several facts when looking at the lessor evils of the group of candidates: With respect to Bernie Sanders who would NOT be able to follow through with all that he promises - except possibly a balance to middle-eastern policy (I have donated to his campaign multiple times), as well as an egotistical, perhaps over-confident guy - Donald Trump, who can perhaps get the US out of crushing debt, but whom most every other dynamic of foreign and domestic quandary could be uncertain. Everyone else is a complete disaster - I don't see Hillary nor Cruz, nor Kasich, nor Rubio, nor any other Washington insider come even close to standing up to AIPAC or its operating wings - Democrat or Republican Donald Trump may be an unpredictable loose-cannon at times, vulgar, egocentric, brash, etc, but he's no insider and may actually be good for the Nation on several fronts; and Bernie may be uplifting in a lot of ways, but he can't win now. My point is that this country needs to change not only its political mindset with respect to our "shared values" with our so-called "democratic friend in the Middle-East" (which are laughable to me), but a complete change of leadership all together. On Palestinian astrophysicist arrested and jailed for second time in 15 months I was hoping that Donald Trump wouldn't have "drank the Kool-Aid" with respect to the U.S. corrupted political stance that the Palestinians are the aggressors and Israel can do-no-wrong, but with his foreign policy speech yesterday it seems clear that he no longer is interested in maintaining a just and balanced approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It further signals to me that a portion of the money that he is going have to raise to take on the Clinton machine after he becomes the Republican nominee will be coming from AIPAC and other foreign sources. If he wins the National election, how then will he be able to put "American interests first"??? On Palestinian astrophysicist arrested and jailed for second time in 15 months I just can't understand it: I spent 20 years in the US military, being taught concepts such as when and when not to use deadly force, and by the Geneva Convention when someone is no longer considered an active combatant, etc. About how we as American service members are held to a higher standard, and that we are expected to live up to that standard both in uniform and out. Then I watch a group of undisciplined thugs - cowards in uniforms, vehicles, and weapons (like the one I carried) that U.S. (my) tax dollars helped or completely purchased, summarily execute - murder a man who's humanity, who's life has been reduced to trash in their minds! I cannot understand how in 2016, this and similar barbaric acts of a society can go on, or worse yet - be rewarded through appropriations and a myriad of perks, favourtism status. Rest assured, if I or any of my comrades committed this cowardly act, charges of murder, war crimes, amongst others would be levied and QUICKLY! Fox News, CNN, and all the news outlets domestically and WORLD-WIDE would be all over it - guaranteed! I turn on the news here - no mention whatsoever - nor a story on Bing, Yahoo, MSN, nothing. Unbelievable!!! Apparently the atrocities don't matter, nor the conduct of Israeli citizens, nor the conduct of the settlers, nor the Israeli Government policies. The citizens and politicians that support these atrocities, ignore them, as well as the news agencies that censor them are complicit in these crimes! How is it that we servicemen are held to higher standards, our countrymen can and do criticize my government without being labeled as an "anti-Americanite", and that our news outlets would be quick to report any domestic slight (and beat it like a dead horse), but hardly anyone - including our corrupt politicians would dare criticize Israel (right, Ted and Hillary)!!!
