From your link....
Ron Paul said.....
“Manning did so for the purpose of exposing the “horrible things” being carried out by the US Government...“Should he be locked up and imprisoned?”..... Manning should be seen as a “political hero” and “true patriot who reveals what’s going on,” Paul said.
Paul believes that Manning is a “whistleblower” and his actions.... “are essential to the country.”
Ron Paul is a national security risk to this country...if he gets the Presidency you not only can kiss this country goodby...there won’t be one left standing to kiss goodby. The guy is insanity on steroids an dangerous!
