I approve of what Snowden did. His actions informed the American people what their government is truly up to, and it harmed no one. If Snowden must stand trial in order to come home, then it is imperative that Jane Fonda also stand trial because what SHE did in Viet Nam is FAR WORSE than what Snowden did, and Americans WERE harmed because of her senseless actions. I will not sit still for him to be tried while Jane Fonda faces no trial.

I am sure that you prefer the vulgar slang meaning of Neocons, that being "White bible thumping trash" rather than the what the accepted definition of neoconservative. If you are a scholar of history, President Bush was not for larger government or for that matter war. It was not until after 911 that the United States was forced into war! The Patriot Act was necessary during this time because of the significant number of Muslin extremist living in the US. The need for surveillance on those factions that want the destruction of the US is still a valid concern. Having said that, I fail to see the need to spy on Americans, to include their email and telecommunications without reason. And typical of your entries, you are very disrespectful. President Bush may have had his fubars, mispronounced words, and gave the comedians many good first liners, but he is intelligent and always had the best interest of Americans in perspective.

If you are inclined to look at an administration that is truly communist in nature, you need look no further than Obama. The growth of the government over the past few years is staggering. His insurgence into the private lives of the Natural Born Citizens of the US is unparalleled in history. In short, he is a communist in all aspects of the word.

Because you have difficulty following the topics, the original article was Mr Snowden. I agree that Mr. Snowden acted in the tradition of civil disobedience. He should not stand trial. And, if I were Mr. Snowden, I would not return to the US until Obama is out of the White House. Many people have disappeared, died, or otherwise lost their ability to speak out about this administration in the last few years.

Selective amnesia is sweeping the ranks of those who want to turn back the clock. Snowden is hanging with the Russkis and you still back him over Obama. Racism is all you have left.

In civil disobedience, it is imperative to take whatever punishment is deemed appropriate for the "disobedience"--not to run or fight it.

You are correct. What I should have said is: Mr Snowden did nothing wrong and due to that, he should not be tried. However, if Mr. Snowden (in his perspective) acted in traditional civil disobedience, then he should not return home to the United States until Obama is no longer in power and Holder also leaves office. With them in power, he will be given the harshest punishment possible and that would probably include his death. Thank you for pointing out my error. I knew what I wanted to say, but was not on track due to the pompous as*hole to whom I was responding. I will be more careful in the future.

"


From: Inyourface (all from/all to)
Subject: Racist diatribes disguised as thoughtful opinion.


Do you consider yourself a racist? I'll bet not.You hate Obama,you back the Teaparty,and the GOP. You applaud the Zimmerman verdict and fear and hate Blacks. Baby that makes you a first class racist and not too bright I might add. I am going to enjoy heightening your contradictions. "

Never say or do anything in the shadows that you would not say or do in the light of day. You sent this the above message, quoted for the reading enjoyment of whomever wishes to read it.

You think that I am a raciest because I do not like your president. It is true that he is simplest the worst president this nation has known in the past 50 years. He is not eligible for the office. He is a Muslin who is determined to destroy the United States.

Yes, I saw the verdict in Mr. Zimmerman's case as justified and it was based on the evidence that the State and Mr. Zimmerman's lawyers presented.

I am a Republican and many of the Tea Party philosophies are in line with my personal convictions, such as honor, faith in G*d, and smaller government.

You make the wrong assumption that I have a fear of blacks. This simply is not true, even if I were facing down the barrel of their gun I would have no fear. I would simply "STAND MY GROUND." Take that anyway you please.

You also make a personal attack on my intelligence, that is of no consequence to me. I could take an elevator from a dignified position and tell you exactly what I think of you, but I like the view from above better than the subbasement.

I'd advise you to not invest too much energy with the person the above is answering. He is here to interfere with serious discussion. He's here to distract. Pay him VERY LITTLE MIND.

Thank you. I learned the hard way, he is now sending me personal messages. I have no intention of further dialogue with him. Again, I thank you for your advice.

Sadly Snowden was in a position of no choice in what he had to do. He could not go to another source with his concerns as he most likely knew how others were being treated by the Kenyan. Somebody in Snowden's former position knows much more than the general population. All the puzzle pieces go through his control and as such he got a full understanding of the Kenyan's actions.

The Kenyan is a TYRANT who believes in his own propaganda. The man believes he is some sort of God. Obama is the next Jesus Christ said the Reverend Wright. Just like every other communist dictator in history.,

Only the foolish, low information, stupid individual believes the Kenyan's DISINFORMATION (Propaganda).

Did Obama repeal the patriot act? Did Obama run on the promise of protecting whistleblowers? As of last week, the protection of whistleblowers was taken down from his original campaign website. Wow! Obama is so much better than Bush. HA, HA, HA.
