“I do not consider this man a criminal.”
“I consider Obama, Holder and the people violating my Constitutional rights the crimials.”

BEARS REPEATING !!! To the Chicago thugs, Whistleblowers are heroes; unless the whistle is being blown on THEM! Note that the MSM talking heads have reported it AS ORDERED, as usual.

Speculation about what Reagan would do ? He wouldn’t! Because he wouldn’t allow government sticking its nose into everybodys business.

The difference here is, Snowden would have felt perfectly comfortable approaching Attorney General Edwin Meese. Can you imagine the different response he would have gotten from talking to Meese's assistant Mark Levin?

This would be implying that Reagan would support spying on all US citizens....because every anti-Snowden wank supports the spying...and Obama...too

Just like Obama Eligibility.....the Obama Supporters once again surrender liberty to cover for Obama

Interesting perspectives here. The two men who assassinated the Roman emperor Caligula were put to death. Not that everyone wasn’t grateful, but they didn’t fancy letting a couple of regicides get off scot-free. It didn’t set a very good precedent.

But don’t you remember how Ronnie had that big S on his chest, and bullets bounced off from him. Oh wait. Never mind.

I love how people place Reagan in different times and suggest what he would do.

He was a great man. We have none of them any more. But you are correct, there is no way he would shoot down a Russian aircraft.

Hard to do when the flight from HK to Moscow goes over China & Russia (and possibly Mongolia) and the plane belongs to the Russian flag carrier.

“We did it all off the cuff.” But he said the mission was an outstanding example of the power of naval aviation to “make things happen.”
More like an exmple of having an outstinding man as president...one we knew we could trust.

Shoot the scumbag when he exits the plane.
Snowden's not the scumbag in this scenario.

Under Obama, whistle blowers are the criminals.

The situations are not the same.

When I think of this darn data collection and putting it together in usable format, I think of Admiral Poindexter.

And then I think of the men and women who fought against communism. And then I think of what is in the White House today using the tools of patriots against them. :(

No kidding, I reject the entire premise:

No such activities, as described by Snowgren, would be in operation under a Reagan administration. And if it were, those involved would be in prison for their acts against the Constitution. IMHO.

Snowden crossed the line when he started exposing Chinese operations and should be taken out. Some act as if one has to take sides - NSA vs Snowden. There are no heroes or good guys here. All should be held accountable.

Wrong!

President Reagan would not be for everyday Americans being spyed on by their government like it’s 1984. President Reagan was 100% against that.

Reagan would pardon and protect Snowden. Then arrest all those involved installing the Communism spy grid you apparently love.
