(2,730 posts)Manning as a whistle blower. You know, I have to agree with everything he said. The Government has went too far to the right. They are prosecuting people for illegalities, but the government is not a good example of doing things legally. They are also hypocrits. I just shake my head when the President of China and the United States gets together, on some ranch in California, pointing the fingers at other countries, for the same things they are doing. On the Nuclear issue, China and the U.S. both have large stockpiles of nuclear weapons. China got them to defend themselves against the U.S. When North Korea asked the Chinese to help them with a nuclear program for the same reasons, China refused. Now that North Korea obtained the technology on their own, the Chinese wants to dictate to them. If you want to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, then set the example yourselves. The U.S. needs to remove nuclear weapons from Turkey and all their allies. China needs to start destroying their stockpiles. It seems when people get to a certain status, they change and become part of some elite club. President Obama was elected for a reason, and he should respect the people that voted for him. If you cannot respect the people who voted for you, then don't ask for their votes. they did not vote for you to enact the same Policies of the other side. Everybody heard what Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan had to say. They were rejected. There was no need to call Mitt Romney to the White house because you thought he had good ideas. If that was the case, then you should have drop out and conceded to him. The country did not vote for compromise on anything. They voted for someone, they thought was going to fight for their issues.
