Earlier this week, West Point condemned one of their former cadets, who now serves in the military out of Fort Drum, for social media posts promulgating his communist viewpoints. A house divided will fall, and it appears the hostile takeover of our government is in a stage so advanced that it is out in the open with minimal public outcry. The problem here is not the communist student himself; the problem is that either the passivity of his peers or military administration allowed this to happen.
People knew. Given the facts now available to the public, one absolute is infallible: either West Point cadets did not tell West Point Administration about Rapone’s communist antics, or they did, and West Point ignored the information. There is also the question whether Rapone has a security clearance and if so, how he obtained one with these public posts.
In Rapone’s pro-Communism social media posts that have gone viral, dozens of fellow soldiers in uniform are standing next to him on the Academy campus, and a cadet who was in formation with him was the only person who could have taken those pictures.

Yes, don’t let off on the NFL until they fire everyone responsible for pushing this agenda. Same with ESPN. The Alt-left would do the same to us, this is how you win. Take back the NFL, take back ESPN, make the media normal again!
So many obtuse people voting for things like “time to give the black man a chance”......and damned be his qualifications......nobody looked to see that the man was a rabid Marxist. The populous is dumb as a post.
This all started when “diversity” became the focus, rather than training young MEN to be effective combat leaders. Get my drift!?
ThoughtCo: Obama Explains "Refusal" to Salute Flag in Viral Hoax
Exactly How Much Communist Exposure is at West Point?
Turn on radio or TV to news stations 99% have it.
“Historic moment” and “to show I’m not racist” were the refrains I heard from people during the run-up in ‘08.
If you think this started with Obama, you need to catch up on your history. Obama may have been the culmination, but he just followed a well-trodden path. (One built by previous Democrats and a majority of Republicans...)
Rapone was an enlistee who had combat experience in a Ranger battalion before securing a spot at the academy. So he entered West Point in his early twenties (you can be 23 and still be eligible to enter as a plebe) with experience that I bet most seniors couldn’t touch. It’d be hard to work up the nerve come down on a guy like even as an upper-classman if he otherwise kept it together.
Keeping it under his hat I could see. Being so flagrant about it is something else.
When I match-up Rapones antics with the female cadets who received cover for their “black power” salute in a photo some time back, I get the impression that harassing students for their political views by peers and upperclassmen is probably a no-go and formal reprimands have to come from the staff. If they don’t learn it about or don’t think the behavior rises to an offense then nothing would be done.
Rapone isn’t anyone I’d want to represent me, but I bet this guy is looking to be a Senator or President one day.

He’s eyeing John Kerry’s seat as elder leftist statesman.
Absolutely disgusting and infuriating, still I’m glad for the reminder of how horrible a president obama was.
Well if commies are ok, why in the heck not nazis?
We’re catching Rapone early. McCain went undetected until he was turned up in the Keating 5 scandal.
I’ve been to the big city and seen the elephant.
Just talking about this one particular situation that brought us the worst president in US history.
We can blame lots of things on Obama. Jeri Ryan being the prettiest reason. But their are so many and as my cynicism knows no bound.....i Include both parties almost equally.
Thanks.
That was in 1978. Things might’ve changed since then.
