Sarah Palin stated yesterday we should hunt down Julian Assange like he is Bin Ladin. Should we? In the middle of the patriotic revolution in America known as the Tea Party, which Sarah Palin has pasted her face to, she would rather hunt Assange down like a radical Islamic terrorist rather than look at the insight provided by the document dump as to what is wrong with our (un)Constitutional form of federal government.
If you have been studying this weeks leaks posted on WikiLeaks, then you should see Assange went to some length to protect some national security documents. First off, he didn't post many of the important classified documents and kept to documents which are more gossipy in nature. Second, many of the documents are redacted in order to protect other important security points that should be protected as well.
For all the build up on the weekend, the actual leaks seem irrelevant to any serious form of national security. It's almost like a he says she says in many cases. It does show the unconstitutional quest for power the executive branch has led the Presidency to, and for that the Tea Parties, which Palin claims to be a part of, should be considering these documents to know what they are up against to restore the government into the vision of the founding fathers.
As Mike Church said today on his Sirius XM show, what Sarah Palin should be upset about is this will probably lead to a new form of bureaucracy. I believe the federal police force known as the Department of Homeland Security is salivating over the leakage of these documents knowing it's another chance to increase the American police state.
As an American, I am angry at my federal government after reading these leaks. They have a total disregard for the Constitution and they lack respect for the power the people grant them. The experiment of self governing is seriously in jeopardy, and that's what the WikiLeaks reveals. I said it yesterday and I will say it again. Rather than express anger in the WikiLeaks, patriotic Americans need to use these documents to demand accountability of their elected officials. They are out of control. Our Republic was never meant to be an empire like King George ruled over. We are too busy policing the world, too busy trying to control the world's food supply, and too busy in the affairs of matters our founding fathers would never considered entering, and that's why we need to consider the release of this information as a positive.
This talk of hunting down Julian Assange like he was Bin Ladin ignores the real truth here. The federal government, mainly the executive branch, is out of control.
