The National Defense University will present Hillary Clinton
with its American Patriot Award for being a leader who has “strengthened
America’s strategic interests and advanced global security” in
November. She has also dined privately
with Barack Obama one day and Joe Biden the next this week in Washington. Some people in the know forecast a $1 billion
campaign bankroll by 2016 and the Democrats are planning on controlling the White
House into 2024.

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What do you think of the Bradley Manning decision and how
do you compare him to Edward Snowden? (Hermann
~ Shasta Lake City, CA)
A. If you’re to believe what Snowden says, his purpose in
coming out with secrets was to let the American people know what information
the government is gathering on us and how they are using it; in that sense, he’s
sounding the alarm and sees himself as a patriot. Frankly, I agree with that. Manning, on the other hand, had no good
motives. He may not have seen his leaks
as going directly to help the enemy, but he wasn’t just leaking methodologies
either; he leaked some pretty sensitive stuff.
Neither of them deserve any journalistic protection because they were
not journalists. Manning deserves a
good, stiff sentence and Snowden deserves a standing ovation.
Q. The Pew Research Center conducted a recent poll that
reflects Americans want our government to keep its nose out of other
governments’ businesses. Do you
agree? (Georgia ~ Belen, NM)
A. Yes. That’s why
they refer to each one of our countries as “sovereign nations.” We have no business “helping,” “aiding,” “providing
assistance to,” “directing,” “coercing,” or otherwise interfering with any government unless they ask us to or
the U.N. passes a resolution asking us to.
Q. I just read that police killed a 95-year-old man who was
a resident of an assisted-living facility near Chicago. He was tasered and shot with bean bags and
died the next day of internal bleeding from blunt force trauma from the bean bags. This man was obviously out-powered by police;
this is a killing that should never have happened. Why isn’t it being made into a major story
like Trayvon Martin? (York ~ Helena, MT)
A. Probably because he was not black and served no political
or racial purpose for Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and Barry Obama. I'm also going to venture a guess that the police officers are black.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns
away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in
a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.”
~ William S. Burroughs
