Putin and Snowden: July 4 thoughts

The USA was established to secure the blessings of Liberty for the People. You're one for pat answers aren't you? Let somebody else do the thinking, then spit out their thoughts as if you've been gifted with profound insight. Look into how T. Jefferson of the flowing words was drafted into writing the Declaration and you'll realize there were dozens, even hundreds, of founding fathers, each with his own ideas as to the basis of our revolution. Jefferson could just say it more elegantly. The same applies to the phrasing of the Preamble of the Constitution. These are rallying cries, not reality. As to whether Snowden needs to be prosecuted, there's little doubt about it. He did us all a service, and the legislation that was the basis for all this is and was an atrocity. But there were thousands of ways for this information to leak out, especially by ordinary citizens working for Google and Verizon and anywhere else a Patriot Act or FISA order was directed, without a trusted employee of our espionage agencies becoming a turncoat and delivering documents he was entrusted with into foreign hands, and doing so in ways designed to cause as much damage to American foreign policy as possible. Let him become a citizen of a tinpot dictatorship. That's where he should be. And he should shiver in his boots at the thought of coming anywhere near anyone with the wherewithal to whisk him away and deliver him to Washington for prosecution. |

Why should we be loyal to those who rule us through atrocities? We should not. One day the Snowdens of this world will have the power to arrest and punish the monsters who illegally rule us from Washington. And I hope it will be exemplary punishment indeed.

They don't know how to manage power. They wish to undermine power. If they should topple Washington, there will be politically adept individuals with a hunger for power, who will take the place of those deposed. But it will not be the Snowdens of the world. Regardless of ideology, power is first about power. All other priorities are the means to that end. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. |

What about Google,Yahoo and others? Precisely my point. I bet you don't even stop buying products from these traitors. I quit using Microsoft junk back in the double naughts when I first discovered Mr. Softie's back door. Which side are you on, Peter? The fascists or the freemen? |
