Lately I have noticed there are two types of posters here in the case of Snowden. The thought out, reasoned arguments and the other side: "Amurica, F-Yeah! Get that traitor!"
I think that is quite narrow in your interpretation. There are many who question Snowden who are not "Amurica!" and not "thought-out". You frame your arguement into this narrow box that there are only two types of people. Expand your mind.
The emergence of whistleblowers like Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and now Edward Snowden means the world will have an increasingly clearer view of the actual state of affairs...
The only true whistle-blower is Snowden here. Assange and Manning blew the whistle on nothing in my opinion save underlying diplomatic dealings that have been happening since the dawn of diplomacy.
You have Bradley Manning and they throw him on ice, basically naked in a cell for a couple of years and threaten him with the death penalty. After him you have Assange and now you have Snowden and I only hope more will come out and people will start to listen here in the USSA Stasi 2.0 and grow a pair of balls to do something about it.
Nothing to truly verify the above, but it doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Manning, in recent photos doesn't look like someone who has been rung through the ringer.
In the end lets not forget that in this dictatroship, with a bunch of congressional high paid whores as window dressing, Warbama is running around frantically trying to plug the leaks on the dam that's about to burst.
he's running out of fingers and toes. The people of America have a right to know what their gov't is doing to them.
What dictatorship? We do have a power-hungry Executive (but it isn't limited to the last 5 or 20 years...) but we also have an abdicating Congress willing to go along with the plan -- elections are coming up soon ya' know.
Anyone else here suggesting otherwise is the true traitor to our lost nation.
Dissenting your opinion isn't traitorous. It is called freedom of speech.

Yes, things I never knew - maybe more to the snowden story than first observed.

I agree with you - How do we harm the elite?
I think it's coming - we will all be in a place to not pay our credit cards and mortgages - what will they do?
I know - they stop food supply. Then what? I think they're getting nervous about martial law/eviction - what else could they do to us?

How did they stand up to it in 1776? How do they do it now in other countries IE Egypt, Syria, Turkey. I hate to say it but at some point if we want change we have to get the party started...
