A MODERN AMERICAN DECLARATION OF LIBERTY

The fleeing man’s whereabouts are unknown. What fate should befall him when he pops up is an open question depending on whom you ask. “Hero. Traitor. Whistle-blower. Spy. What to call NSA Leaker Ed Snowden?” asked ABC News on Monday night. The battle lines are being drawn in the scandal over the National Security Agency (NSA) vacuuming up private information on millions of ordinary, everyday Americans. Unlike most controversies in the nation’s capital, the belligerents in this showdown don’t fall into predictable partisan camps.
Liberal California Sen. Dianne Feinstein sounds outright hawkish when she declares of Mr. Snowden that, “What he did was an act of treason,” and insists of the NSA activities, “It’s called protecting America.” This is novel positioning for a senior member of her party. In recent decades, Democrats have typically defended those who divulged government secrets at the expense of defense and intelligence operations, and that is still – for the most part – true. Today, however, the lion’s share of overt intra-party division on the leaking issue is on the Republican side of the aisle.

Just exactly whom are they trying to protect us from? Sure doesn’t seem to be from Muslim terrorists.
We are so much in need of a revolution. OOPS! HELLO BIG SIS. Hello AG Holder.
Could be why they’re stocking up in the govmint.
Past time for a revolution.
soon ... and we will know what we have to weather ... lots of fog.
DiFi is, as usual, exactly wrong. Snowden was protecting America (a constitutional republic, not a toy for petty tyrants like Obama, Pelosi, and DiFi). The unconstitutional NSA data collection was the act of treason, as was the IRS targeting of conservatives, the IRS seizure of millions of medical records, ATF's Fast and Furious, EPA's leakage of conservative data to liberal action groups, and the passage of ObamaCare.
Way pass time for a revolt.
I see no justification for it. Our borders are wide open, we willfully import people from terrorist producing regions of the world, and we can’t seem to stop terrorists even when we receive dossiers about impending attacks through FedEx.
Abuse of power can come in many forms. While claiming
National Security depends on programs like this, it makes the IRS vote suppression and electoral rights abuse more likely to make one be suspicious of a program like PRISM, especially when it is affiliated with the same idiots that missed the Boston bombers., brought us Able Danger, and condones the FT. Hood massacre perp’s actions thru the excessive delay and obfuscation of duty in treating that act lone as an act of Terrorism.
Should people be suspicious of the regime? You make up your own mind the next next time you call someone you love.
The only revolution that we need is to start electing federal lawmakers who will actually respect the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, particular those powers listed in the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I.
Am amazed by all on this site of FR ... whisper in the dark. It feels like the first time every time.
whisper ... the fog is only there for those seeking to see it.
I've encountered a few people on FR who absolutely agree with her on this one.
There.
Fixed.
Kind of like ... Bless the Broken Road.
and what dark chill
is gathering still
before the storm?
