Regarding Traitor by Arnold Ahlert:
Snowden may be a traitor or he may just be a dingus as mac in AZ said. He’s gone. The big deal is big government. There is no need for any “balance” between security and liberty. Those who would give up liberty for a little security deserve neither. There is never any need to trample the rights of the good guys.
The address on an envelope is not there for anyone to see. If you want to show yours on facebook, fine and dandy. I put my mail in the post.
Finally, My entire family and dogs went on a hunting trip. When we returned, I found the attic door askew. My wife immediately got a bug detector and located a bug. My good friend and former federal officer told me that in case of a black bag job they would have a certain amount of time to notify me. Not having anything to hide I looked at it as a joke at the time. But I was never notified. A year to the day later we went hunting again all together. When we returned, the doors were all locked in the open position. The bug was gone.
Snowden may be anything, but the government ARE the bad guys and we need to hold them accountable. Snowden is just small fry.
Update:
“U.S. Ambassador John Bolton puts that effort in the proper perspective:(from Traitor)
Number one, this man is a liar. He took an oath to keep the secrets that were shared with him so he could do his job. He said said he would not disclose them, and he lied. Number two, he lied because he thinks he’s smarter and has a higher morality than the rest of us. This guy thinks he has a higher morality, that he can see clearer than other 299-million 999-thousand 999 of us, and therefore he can do what he wants. I say that is the worst form of treason.”
Number one, name a pol who doesn’t lie. Number two, name a pol who has kept his oath. Number three, who is he describing? Number four, isn’t lying part of Bolton’s job? Number five, who gave Bolton the right to speak for three hundred million of us?
And now the government is touting a Chinese conspiracy theory. C’mon now, just yesterday you told us conspiracy theories were only for nuts.
