I know this is obvious, but it pays to remember that in order to be a patriot, it is necessary to be loyal to the Constitution, not the government.
And to be a "traitor" is not to expose the evil done by the government and its minions...but only to betray the spirit and letter of the Constitution.
What Edward Snowdon did, it seems to me, is blow the whistle on the big-bloated-snooping-dangerous government. And it is the government apparatchiks who are calling him a "traitor".
Wow. There's a surprise.
I believe that he is a patriot seeking to expose the flagrantly unconstitutional behavior of the government so that The People can take back the governorship of the nation...and take it out of the hands of a corrupt, out-of-control, oppressive, leviathan government.
Will that take more than just an election?
I hope not. But I fear so.

I fear our own Government. IRS attacking political enemies, doctors asking patients if they own firearms (a req. of Obamacare), NSA, and no accountability.
ReplyDeleteImmigration reform is further evidence that the interests of the American people are subservient to corporate and foreign interests. A flood of foreign workers in a period of high unemployment....how does that help the middle class?
Neither party is on the side of the American people.
The only response are States to assert 10th Amendment powers, and nullify Federal law and rulings as unconstitutional. Problem will not be solved in DC, which is totally, un-repairably corrupt.
Agreed. I have come to the sad conclusion that there is no Party that represents the Constitution or We The People. I used to think it was the Republicans, but I now realize the dividing line is not between Dems and Repubs but between anyone in Government and the rest of us.
