    It's amazing how rare it is to find a US politician who sees the obvious truths and issues with the WikiLeaks situation. Ron Paul is the man.

    I love it when Canadians comment on our politics in the US. Do you really feel you are qualified to let us know what "the obvious truths and issues" are with the leaks? Give me a break. Yes, it's great that Manning and Assange disclosed confidential US files, including the locations of US critical infrastructure sites. :rolleyes:

    But isn't USA's incompetency at protecting such confidential files a bigger issue?

    ? Yes, it's an issue that Manning disclosed this stuff. It's also an issue that clowns like Assange get their jollies from providing a medium for the world to read these files.

    It's also an issue that US soldiers in an apache helicopter are shooting down camera-carrying civilians and laughing about it - thinking they're terrorist-killing heroes...

    lol the lecture from the Candians. Yes, I'm sure your troops are without blame in anything. :rolleyes:

    It's just a matter of time before we annex your country, anyways, so you may as well warm up to your neighbors to the south, bro

    Jack Hunter -The Conservative Purpose of Wikileaks

    Why conservatives should be championing Wikileaks and defending its founder Julian Assange.

    What qualification do you need? LOL. American politics have an influence on a global scale so I don't think its too hard to imagine people being interested. We both have access to the same news outlets, so what makes you have better qualifications on commenting about US politics? Nada.

    Also, since there are wacko's like your girl Sarah Palin who might start WWIII I think everyone needs to give a ***** about what goes down in the US. Your fellow right wingers are getting scarier each day.

    If the US does not meddle in World politics and did not invade Iraq or Afghanistan than you might have had a point that the rest of the world should not comment on the American politics (just as you would never comment on injustice that happens in other countries :rolleyes: ). But unfortunately that is not the case

    That's why I quoted the statement that you made that was an unrelated diversion, instead of quoting the video, eh.

    Really, this board gets tedious sometimes.

    As for the video, it was a good presentation of one side of the argument. I like Ron Paul, I don't know that I agree with him on half of what he says, but I like how he goes about it, generally.

    Both videos were great. But once again the messages come down to trolls and feeding trolls. Not too much debate ever happens here.
