Free Thinking Army Officer Is Driving The Right Crazy

Reprinted with permission from AlterNet.

Second Lieutenant Spenser Rapone is, by all accounts, a contrarian. He was a free thinker at West Point, a communist in the U.S. Army, a soldier who reads Gramsci, and most tragically, a threat to the peace of mind of Senator Marco Rubio.

What second Lt. Rapone is not, is a threat to “overthrow the U.S. government,” a “threat to our safety,” guilty of “treason,” or “100%” certain to commit “mass murder in the near future.” This is despite what some may have read about him on right-wing Twitter and in the reactionary Daily Caller.

Fake journalist Mike Cernovich, a master of the non-sequitur, concludes Rapone’s heresies should convince you that the National Security Council is run by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Spenser Rapone is proof that cultural Marxism has taken over at West Point, still think that the NSC isn’t run by Muslim Brotherhood?

Now the Army is investigating Lt. Rapone, the veterans in the Democratic Socialists of America are defending him, and the social media hive is starting to buzz.

Truly Scary
