Yes, I used to think that our Intelligence and Defense agencies needed to be enabled to have access to this type of VAST raw data to be able to detect and track our enemies. But that was back in the days when I trusted the members of our Intelligence and Defense forces.
In recent days it’s become clearer that there has been a sea change in the character of these federal forces. It’s now evident that they are WILLING and EVEN EAGER to abuse their powers and access to oppress (and destroy where “necessary”) the perceived enemies of the “progressive” forces in our country. Military officers are now willing to obey unlawful orders to oppress anyone that is perceived to be opposed to the liberal/homosexual agenda. The corruption of our institutions has spread even into the institutions where duty, honor and integrity used to be the hallmarks of their culture.
These institutions can therefore no longer be trusted with access to the vast quantities of data that they have been afforded and this data should no longer be available to them—even at the cost of the loss of some small measure of our security.
When most of the Media, the Democrats, and many Republican politicians are on the same page, you know something stinks.
hmmmmm
Wonder what other ‘documents’ and data Snowden has? And who might it implicate?

If one throws a rock over a fence into a pig pen, the pig that squeals the loudest is the one that got hit.
There’s a whole lot of squealing going on.
Wow, Rush hit the nail on the head.
Thank you Rush.
With the amnesty bill on the agenda, Limbaugh is wasting his time talking about this. He needs to be hammering home to his audience the need to impress upon the pols that they will be held to account if the amnesty bill goes through. The bottom-feeding GOP dirtbags in DC are edging towards letting amnesty through by letting the bill out of committee and giving amnesty the opportunity to pass by letting the Democrats muster the majority for it. The GOP dirtbags who claim to represent conservatism will then feign piety by voting against the bill even as it passes with Democratic votes and a few dozen GOP turncoats who don’t even care about appearances.
Snowden belongs on Mt Rushmore! He was the last American that could stand up to Domestic Tyranny, and he DID!
I was always under the impression that the libs worshiped the ground whistle blowers walked on. Oh, wait... that’s only if the perp is a conservative.
I'm in the "don't know yet" camp. Amazing 85% of respondents are ready to commit already.
Lots of questions still to answer. Why the deception of his bosses? Why'd he go to Hong Kong, which makes him available to the PLA to pick up and interrogate? Lots of odd factoids at work.
But Rush seems to be right about an E-smear in progress aimed at the guy's rep .... All the RiNO commentariat like Gallagher are lining up behind the Official Line and the intel establishment. It's Rush and some local Tea Party guys who are trying to spit out the bit.
