During an interview with FOX Business, former Rep. Ron Paul explained that he was concerned about the well-being of National Security Agency whistle-blower Edward Snowden.

“I’m worried about somebody in our government might kill him with a cruise missile or a drone missile,” Paul explained. “I mean we live in a bad time where American citizens don’t even have rights and that they can be killed, but the gentlemen is trying to tell the truth about what’s going on.”

Paul added that there were no signs of Snowden defecting to a foreign country, which meant that he was not really a threat.....

Maybe you need to step back and consider the company you’re keeping when you stand beside the above and point someone out as a traitor. Careful, because labels can follow you around for awhile ‘round these parts...

"But I believe 'silencers' in this country are illegal, no??"

No.

I have several friends with them, all legal.

“I’m worried about somebody in our government might kill him with a cruise missile or a drone missile,” Paul explained

In China or Russia? You're not doing your son any favors, Dr. Paul.

[montanajoe]

China and the other enemies of this country are coming your way pal..count on it.

And they are being aided by the likes of Ron Paul, Snowden and their supporters.

There is a big difference in specific and "for cause" surveillance of potential terror suspects versus our government's wanton and comprehensive snooping of our all of our population. How do you know the NSA doesn't have the same scope and tactics as the IRS?

You sir, don't sound anything like a conservative. If you were, you would value your freedoms and rebuke the intrusive nature of our rogue government.

[Lexinom]

Yes, precisely: One side is not playing by the rules.

The Hacker-in-Chief is exploiting the weaknesses in the system (i.e. conservatives' penchant for following rules) to accomplish his own ends.

In the case of Snowden, we simply have one patriot who is willing to apply Alinksyite tactics to the other side. He's a man with, as far as I can tell, altruistic motives that transcend traditional left-right politics and go the heart of our personal freedoms as Americans. JMO.

[Thane_Banquo]

Yes, because it is important for the NSA to be reading the emails of all American citizens. And there’s no way Obama would ever abuse that information to, I don’t know, sick the IRS on everyone who has criticized Obama in an email. And it isn’t like the Obama administration would ever label pro-lifers, conservatives, and Bible-believers as terrorists....

Wait a second...

[diogenes ghost]

"He was hired by the NSA...."

Uhhhh, no.

[yadent]

I’m in California. We here think CA IS the whole country. Need to get out more....

[District13]

I hope he gets away and is safe and sound. He’s a hero to me!

[montanajoe]

Snowden is a traitor. If that gets your panties in a wad there is nothing I can do about that..

[muawiyah]

Not 'obama government' ~ use 'current ruling obama regime' ~ else you abuse language.

Instead of 'regime' you can also use the word 'clique'

[null and void]

Exactly who do you define as “the enemy” and who as “your friends” here?

[manc]

he;s a loon but on this I would not trust obama and his thugs on anything right now nor should anyone unless they are the ruling elitist class and the side kick thugs from Chicago.

[Tau Food]

Why couldn't Government Computers be programmed so that any email criticism of Obama automatically triggers an IRS audit, with a preliminary waterboarding? Why must bureaucrats be involved?

[muawiyah]

Don't tell him ~ he probably thinks he can see Mongolia from his bedroom window.

This is called shrunken brain syndrome.

[manc]

yep you keep taking those talking points in and concentrate on this guy instead of the obama Govt which is breaking all sorts of laws, the 4th amendment and we’re all being spied on, hope you can remember what you said in private on the phone last year or last month.

[nomad]

They didn`t have the right to obtain that data, unconstitutional and therefore ILEGAL, plain and simple.

And don`t give me that "Patriot Act" horse shit. The Patriot Act IS NOT a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, or is it? IF not, then this part of it is blatantly illegal as it violates the 4th amendment and any orders derived from it are also.

The man is a hero and if he does get arrested and not murdered by your buddy O`Bozo, I will gladly donate for his defense fund.

[manc]

really, OK there is the talking points byuthe elitist ruling class now answer this

what secrets has he given away, name 3 which has put in harms way and helping to destroy the country.

I await with much anticipation because I know he hasn;t done anything , how about looking an oabma Govt which is out of control, breaking the law, 4th amendment, oh wait you watch and hear their talking points and repeat it but never question

[montanajoe]

I have nothing in common nor much respect for the Liberaltarians here who call themselves Conservatives.

The enemy I refer to is the folks throughout the world who will fight a hundred years war to destroy the USA. Its not really that hard of a concept but I never cease to be amazed by the number of folks who cant grasp that simple fact.
