The NSA has been spying on Americans forever. Have you not done your homework? This has been going on with consent from both parties.
Here is a different way to look at it. Everyone has that family member that they have a difficult time getting along with, however, when a outside force trys to inflict some kind of pain on them you often react with nothing but love and support for that family member, sort of like brothers that beat each other up but nobody else is allowed to touch them.
Snowden is a coward giving comfort to our enemies, this is the kind of issue that should of been handled inside our government, or at least by Snowden on our soil giving up generalities rather than how it was getting done. He’s no hero, and like I said it’s easy to imagine being a Russian spy to get us involved in beating up our own brothers rather than looking at the non family member that wants to kill us.
So you're like a child of big loving, all caring government Ms. joy...Government is like your parents...All one big happy family!
And they have to bug your phones, computer and seize your records to keep you safe and coddle you...
It's all because government loves you and supports you Ms. joy.
Have you thought about having your straight jacket loosened?
