Problem is...a lot of people on this forum also support the traitor Snowdon.
Count me among them please. I don't give a damn about his motivations. The fact is, he has brought to light some very important things that needed to see daylight. The surveillance state is not your friend.
Add me to your list as well. As I see it the real problem is that there are a lot of short sighted people here. They can't seem to see that under Obama the NSA’s mission has evolved from National Security to collecting vast amounts of information on absolutely everyone to be used by the left for nefarious political purposes. Every totalitarian regime collects as much information as possible on its own citizens to control them. This is the path we are currently going down. If Snowden’s disclosures somehow derail this then he is a patriot not a traitor.
I'm one of them. Really the problem is all of the fake patriots who are just fine with the police state because they think they have nothing to hide.
