Whoa, Hedgie! You and I actually agree on something.
However, would you still share the same sentiments if his whistle blowing was done with conservatives in charge? Just curious.
Peace!
He sure wouldn't have the FULL SUPPORT of the LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA, that's for sure.
:shrug:
Nice sidestep. Just answer the question. Would you feel the same if a conservative government was exposed of wrongdoing?
Are you pleased because he actually did the right thing? Or do you only agree because it was against a government that you despise?
Peace!

:facepalm:
that was right after 9/11 we were in a war with al qaeda, it made sense then
Do we know for sure that the Tea Party does not have affiliation with Al Qaeda? Maybe the Tea Party is group paid off by the Taliban and the IRS needs to audit them just to make sure, monies are not going from the Party to the Middle East? :shrug:

Got it. There is a right time and place to violate citizen's rights. Fuck you are an idiot.
This chart and corresponding article basically explain why political debates with most supporters of one of the two major parties feels so pointless to me, at times.

""When the pollsters at Pew asked Democrats in January 2006 how they felt about the NSA's surveillance programs, 37 percent labeled the programs "acceptable," while 61 percent said they were unacceptable. Today, those numbers are exactly the opposite: 64 percent of Democrats now think the NSA's surveillance programs are acceptable, while only 34 percent say they're not.
Republicans polled much the same way (in reverse, obviously). Back in 2006, 75 percent of Republicans supported the NSA "scrutiniz[ing] phone calls and emails of suspected terrorists." Today, only 52 percent of Republicans say such actions are acceptable.
Could it be that sharing a party ID with whoever's in the White House is a better indicator of one's opinion on major civil liberties issues, than, say principle? I AM REALLY STARTING TO THINK SO.""
