I have mixed feelings about Snowden.

BTW, what exactly did he “sell” and to “who” , “when” ?

Please tell me the proof you have that he sold secrets?

The fact that the evil Rove, Beohner, the left and most of the RINOs call him a traitor tells me quite clearly that Snowden performed acts that will help awaken people to the evil tyranny from D.C.

Again, please tell me what proof you have that he sold secrets?

Also, please provide your opinion(s) of what he could have sold that would be traitorous.

Do you not understand the the Marxist president is purposely trying to utterly destroy our Republic as founded. The GOPe and the evil left are p*ssing on our Constitution daily.

Until absolute evidence is otherwise presented, I will firmly view Snowden as a Patriot.

“he was a traitor”

I reckon the concept of “innocent until proven guilty” is a part of the rule of law that you find it convenient to ignore...

Let me guess...you weren’t doing anything wrong so you had nothing to hide from the government while they recorded all of your emails and phone calls...right?

I consider Karl Rove and John Boehner more traiterous than Snowden.
They are complicit in the'take over'/coup of the Republic , and the creation of the VICHY GOPe

If the Administration said it, then is is a LIE.

I don’t believe ANYTHING this man says, and I don’t believe anything the big computer companies say, either.

Ever.

To quote Dan Rather on Election Night 1994: “This is horrible. Just horrible. Not a single open seat for the congress or senate has gone to the democrats tonight.”

It is worse than I ever imagined!

Et tu, Snowden?

A quick perusal of the GOP-E Luminaries and Democrats who have lined up to call him a Traitor will tell any thinking individual that you are on the wrong side on this issue.

I trust Putin more than obama at this point. This government has zero credibility.

"Snowden answered the hero or traitor question during an interview with the South China Morning Post. He admitted that he sought a job with the NSA in order to collect information about the United States'surveillance activities. This contradicts the initial indications that he became disillusioned with U.S. programs after working for the NSA. Instead, it indicates that Snowden had a plan from the beginning to collect information on U.S. surveillance and to expose that information to the world.

Not only is Snowden a traitor but he is also a very naïve traitor.
