If it took him this long to say this, either Boehner is clueless, or the guy is hero (or a traitor). I believe he exposed State Secrets, i.e., things the Ruling Party does not want exposed. I still don’t trust Snowden, but I trust the govt even less.

Traitor of the letter of the law, whether it be Obama’s whim or the misinterpretation of a slimy prosecutor and activist judge, is much, much different than a traitor to the spirit of the US Constitution. Anyone who hasn’t figured out that our government is our enemy is delusional.

I don’t know what Snowden did except confirm to the Nation what I have known. Of course, when I say it then I’m a Conspiracy Theorist, an Alex Jones nutjob.

So, let’s hide the ball and demonize the messenger. The real story is the FACT that our Constitution is being trampled on. That’s it and that’s all.

Have you heard any mention from our esteemed Congress critters about these programs being dismantled?

...”John you are the traitor here, we trusted you and you are simply turning us all in to your prey”...

Yes, what is he hiding?

The Scriptures which give me my faith and hope have this to say about the situations we are facing..
Ephesians: 5:11-14 “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. 13 But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, 14 for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

our people are supposed to keep government straight

So listening in on conversations within our borders is criminal? We tolerated it under Bush and the Patriot Act but not under Bummer. Hypocrisy! I certainly want to know if you are plotting an act of terror. We applauded such action under Bush.

Name me just ONE incidence where the government used what they overheard in an inappropriate manner. JUST ONE!

Until they do, I pray they keep up the good work George Bush started.

Oh I very much realize that, but I am tired of pimping a vanity post from several weeks ago....LOL.

Sometimes it take FR a long time to come around to realize what is happening. Often first in newsflash, but slow at times to put the big picture together.

The spirit of the Constitution is dead...if you haven’t figured that out yet...

And before you yell at me...read my tagline and go read some of my historical postings.

But we all knew for years the government listened in our conversations; they just refined how they did it apparently. Until there is ONE proven case of abuse, then I’d say the government is going a good job of protecting us.

The only way the GOP will replace the elitist big government types in leadership roles is if it crumbles. Boehner and friends are drooling over the prospect of winning the “prize” in 2014 and using it to their benefit. I was wavering as you are now, but Boehner makes it clear the GOP is an alternative to the Dems in terms of speed only. It seems to me the only principle he has is that he retains power.

I think we can survive two years of Democrats in Congress. It will make restoring limited government more difficult but those up to the challenge will have all the more credibility in 2016 and be in a stronger position to take over the GOP leadership. A defeat in 2014 is tolerable if it discredits Boehner and company and forces change in the GOP and changes in the country in 2016.

The way these people are acting makes you see that they are just pissed because the American people have caught them with their pants down. Both sides of the ruling class are working together.

Spying on the average Joe is traitorous when you have no reason to spy on them.

Boehner sucks.

The new definition of treason, according to the Obama Regime, is anyone not 100% on board with American Socialism as they define it daily by way of Democrat Party talking points.

This would be something like upwards of 90% of the American population, since even most Leftists are not fully with the Obama agenda 100%.

The observation that I have is that if the Regime deems a person a traitor already, and that individual, who is a traditional Liberal, has access to their NSA downloads and talking points, then why not go public while the Free Internet is in operation?

And maybe...just MAYBE...The public will realize it’s Endgame time for the Regime, and actually do something effect to stop the almost certain seizure of the American Republic by Progressives in a slow motion coup.

After all, you are doomed, a man who knows too much, you know DHS storm troopers will be coming for you some sunny morning in Hawaii with chains and locks, because NSA has provided them with ample evidence you had problems their version of American socialism.

Go read post #23 over here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3029384/posts?page=23#23

It might provide a bit more perspective.

If we don’t know this yet, this is a testament to the fact we have an imperial federal government completely above the concepts memoralized in the constitution. These concepts are just punch lines now.

So Mr. Bonehead, to whom is Snowden a traitor, the nation or to the ruling government? Careful now, they are not the same.

With comments like this, an ignorant electorate, and people throwing away their rights on the alter of security, Obama will look like a saint in the eyes of the public. Woe is us.
