I think I understand how our culture functions.

Let's review:

Traitor Jane visits N. Vietnam, mingles with its soldiers, and has her picture taken sitting in the seat of an anti-aircraft gun that is used to shoot down our soldiers. Our country takes no action against her, ostensibly since war was never actually declared by Congress as decreed in our Constitution. No big deal.

General Betrayus (Petraeus) has an affair outside his marriage and leaks classified information to his mistress. He retires as a four star general with little to no punishment, just some public embarassment a la Bill Clinton, and is in the running for a Cabinet post in the incoming administration. No big deal.

Hilary Clinton uses a home-based private email server to mis-handle, allegedly, over 30,000 emails, more than a few of that number containing classified information. No big deal.

Army private now Chelsea Manning, after a taxpayer funded sex change operation, is locked up for something like 30 years for releasing hundreds of thousands of classified documents. This apparently IS a big deal, because little privates are the only people in our govt. who should know better. Big Deal.

The Deplorables as usual must toe that line. Only the Little People pay taxes. If you think you are somebody, or your company is pretty big, you can do, say, go wherever and whatever you want, and the Law will look the other way.

Got it.
