Wikileaks has been hurting the United States for months. The recent release of secret documents is not the first such instance that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has done this. Yet after months of being described by some as a bad guy, he has only faced serious consequences in the last few days. He has been arrested, and Barack Obama and Eric Holder are considering prosecuting him as well.
The question that needs to be asked is…why now?
Given that everything with Barack Obama is political, it should be no surprise that the Wikileaks situation is steeped in politics and liberal ideology.
Braack Obama and Eric Holder will never admit it publicly, but they had zero objection to the initial Wikileaks document release. It was, to quote a liberal slob in congress who should have some soap in his mouth, a liberal “wet dream.”
The original Wikileaks documents skewered President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and other Bush administration officials.
Conservatives need to understand that simply claiming that liberals hate America is not entirely true. There are plenty of left of center patriotic Americans. The far left in some ways may have some members that do love America. Yet the real issue is what matters more. The left loves America less than they despise conservative Republicans.
Given the choice between destroying the right and improving society (if those were the only two choices), the left would opt for destruction every single time.
The left hates the right with such ferocity that they will allow wanton destruction as long as it brings down the right. Again, they are verbal suicide bombers.
So as long as Julian Assange was skewering conservatives, he was quietly celebrated. While I am totally against Wikileaks, it would be delicious irony if a conservative organization leaked documents showing the White House egging Wikileaks on.
Julian Assange ripped the right, and was on his way to becoming Woodward and Bernstein all wrapped into one heroic leftist fuzzball. He was Michael Moore except that women were attracted to him rather than repulsed.
Then Julian Assange, like any terrorist, got greedy. Terrorists tend to do that.
Saudi Arabia was fine with spreading Wahhabism when it hurt the West. Yet when Al Qaeda began killing Saudis, then the kingdom cared.
When Zarqaui was beheading Jews and Christians, he was given shelter. Yet then he started killing Muslims, and people turned on him.
Julian Assange got greedy. With no further conservatives to embarrass (He should talk to Larry Flynt. That guy always has something.) and fame and celebrity going to his head, the only thing left to do was release more documents. Fame can be a dangerous narcotic, and it led to Assange humiliating the left.
If there is one commandment Barack Obama believes in, it is “Thou shalt never criticize Barack Obama.”
The American left has not been in this much of a daze since 9/11 when they had to choose between condemning Osama Bin Laden or George W. Bush. They hid in political caves just like Osama.
The American left is disgusted with Wikileaks. It was supposed to humiliate Republicans and conservatives. Now they have gone too far.
So why would Assange attack his ideological soulmates?
The answer is so simple that everyone to the right of Obama, Holder, and the Pelosiraptor can grasp it.
Enemies of America do not distinguish between Democrats and Republicans. Al Qaeda on 9/11 did not try to minimize their casualties by only killing conservatives. They murdered liberals as well with equal glee.
To quote Dennis Prager, “The world does not hate us. The world’s left hates us.”
“Us” does not mean Republicans, conservatives, and George W. Bush. It means all Americans.
No amount of liberals bashing conservatives will make the enemies of America like us.
If the left was accurate in their world view, Barack Obama was the best possible candidate the world could have asked for. He apologized for America, rejected American exceptionalism, and promised to “reset” and “restart” our relations around the world.
Anybody other than Obama sycophants know this has failed. The goal is not to be liked. It is to be respected, or barring that, feared.
Julian Assange and his followers despise America. They want us wrecked forever. Once their leftist tools like the Jayson Blair Times cease to be useful, the JBT will be cut off at the knees as swiftly as if they were a right-wing radio host.
Barack Obama needs to understand that he is not the president of the world. He has to stop being “neutral” and “fair.” He needs to only do what is best for America, nothing more, nothing less.
His government allowed Wikileaks to run wild. Maybe now that he and Holder have teeth marks in their hide, they will understand what Wikileaks really wants to destroy.
Barack Obama and leftists need to take the hatred they have for conservative Republicans and direct it toward our real enemies abroad. Otherwise, when they come for the liberals, conservatives will not be around to speak up.

Our relations around the world are very much improved. How can you say that Obama’s “reset” and “restart” has failed? And how on Earth could you say it’s the world’s “left” that hates America when the largest block of American enemies in the world are hard-right Muslims???

“And how on Earth could you say it’s the world’s “left” that hates America when the largest block of American enemies in the world are hard-right Muslims???”
I seem to remember you saying our largest block of enemies were republicans (kinda like Bambam said) and that terrorists were just unruly kids.
Anyway, I’m not hooked into Wall st. like Eric is but theres no doubt that Obama passing this legislation is like me, an alcoholic, opening a bar, and tending it.
First let me say this, two or four people posting does not make for an interesting blog. Yet, hundreds or thousands also are far too many to be feasible (NYTimes). There has to be a happy medium.
Generalizing, whether about liberals or conservatives, Republicans or Democrats, can be misleading. Enough said.
Obama has reached out to the Muslim world, and is partly successful.
After all, he did apoligize for al the US wrong doings over generations.
However, the Muslims will not love us anymore even with this President.
They are a smart lot, as Abba Eban said decades ago based on his
parrying with Arab countries over Israel. They do what is good for them, from their perspective.
Considering they launched several unsuccessful wars to destroy the little Jewish state in their midst, and still have the chutpah to threaten at the UN a reversal of history ( creation of a Pales state at the 67 borders and allowing 5m Muslims to live in Israel proper), they seem to still be winning.
In fact, more Muslims have been killed by other Muslims than all the Arab-Isralei wars combined. It is not well iknown, but a few thousand Egyptians/Syrians were killed in 67, the vast majorityh of the armies surivved to live and fight another day, which they did in 1973.
Over 20,000 Egyptian troops in the Sinai were saved by the cease fire, even though surrounded by the mighty IDF..which was not that eager to take them on an lose another 2,000 estimated losses. (2nd and 3rd Armies). Cairo was within a one day tank ride of Israel’s forces on the west side of the Canal.
Egypt has 90 m people, and Syria now has over 25m. Their losses were minimal, while Israel’s losses since 1948 are about 25,000 casualties.
Put into perspective, thats over 1m US. Think of it. We lost 35,000 in the Korean War and 55,000 in Vietnam over years of fighting.
Iran alone has over 10m soldiers, male and female, counting their
home guard, reserves, police, regular army and Revolutionary Guards.
That is why Ahmad clams in a war with Israel, Israel loses in one day.
Some say (Syria) Iran wont attack Israel for fear of killing Palestinians and Israeli -Arabs. Hey sir, fyi, 1m Iranians died fighting the Iraqis who lost thousands. The war lasted 9 years.
While Obama arms the LAF, an Israeli military leaders says in another war with Hez..Israel will have to taike out the Lebanese government and its army, or face impossible Hez losses, armed with 80,000 Iranian rockets.
Russia, accodring to my spies, is aiding Chavez build a missile base in
Venezuela..with Scud Ds and Cs and Shahab Missiles ( medium and lon grange Iranian missiles, which can carry a nuke warhead).
If true, within a few years, all of US will be in their rocket range and we know what that means.
Yet, Obama is still reaching out to Iran and Chavez instead of
telling them, “You have 2 days to stop the construction or else”, as he
did with Israel’s building of yeshivas, shuls, nursery schools and apartments for married religious students in East Jerusaelm before he
got smart that is, and realized it was all in vain.
Now, the Arabs are going to the UN to demand a state of their own, no matter what the Jews in Israel think…and a boycott if Israel shuns it.
They could care less about direct or indirect talks.
And I ask, will the EU be willing to take on the IDF? Only the future knows.
Oy vey!.
