First off, this administration makes both bushes and Nixon look like true statesmen. Second, where did all the protesters go when bush left office that were protesting wars, wiretaps, and granting the executive branch powers they are not entitled to. When will we as a nation become aware that there is a continuity of agenda, WMDs in Iraq, love bombs in sent to Libya etc. the R's and the D's at the higher level are on the same team. Our country has been in some type of war my entire life. It's time to stop jamming sticks in other countries eyes and do a little spring cleaning of our own country. Both dems and repubs are being played against each other for the illusion of choice. Snowden and the reporter are now traitors according to the big shots in both parties, if I remember correctly he was in the military for a short stint then injured, and took an oath to the constitution " In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act." is telling the American people they are being spied on a crime? We need people who will be honest with us and telling us that are alphabet agencies are being turned inward is not a crime. Everyone was so angry that bush was using wire taps, and they went to the streets I'm anger, now a joe blow tells us we are all being tapped and its time for a treason trial. The majority of our representives said they were not informed of this and even if all of them knew about it, it would still be illegal, where's the probable cause. To mangle a qoute if you give up a little privacy for a little security you wont get either. Think how much power someone could have with everyone's communications, mine, yours, congress, supreme court, etc. read the bill of rights and find one that has not been jacked with. I am not a rep., dem., conservative, or republican. I just want our children, grandchildren to live free and not be subject to a police state. Sorry for the rant and any misspelled words were put in for those who fill more intelligent by being a human spell check.
