‘Snowden is not the problem’ Palin says
The Daily Caller ^ | June 16, 2013 | Breanna Deutsch and Sarah Harvard

Posted on 06/16/2013 4:38:44 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sarah Palin energized a group of social conservatives at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference Saturday, blasting the Obama Administration’s apparent lawlessness, calling the current state of America “Orwellian,” and urging the United States to stay out of Syria’s chaotic and brutal civil war.

In comments to the Daily Caller, the 2008 candidate for vice president also declined to join many of her fellow Republicans in condemning National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, saying the real problem was the government’s violation of Americans’ rights.

In her speech, Palin called the current political atmosphere, rife with scandals, a “a symptom of a bigger disease,” expressing outrage over the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative nonprofits.

“You don’t marginalize everyday, average Americans. Those, who are part of the Tea Party, that want to protect the constitution,” said the former Alaska Governor. “The IRS can’t figure out how it spent $4 million dollars on a training conference because it lost its receipts… really?”

The 2008 GOP Vice-Presidential nominee said President Obama has lost the trust of the American people.

“Like the other day,” she said ”[Director of National Security Intelligence James Clapper] bragging that they used the ‘least untruthful statement.’ Now, where I come from that is called a lie. Yes, the officials lied and government spied — and in Benghazi government lied and Americans died.”(continued)

On Fox there’s an article about Cheney calling Snowden a traitor.

I saw that interview today. I was sad. either cheney is truly part of a one world government conspiracy, or, he comes from a time and place from days past where men could not believe that someone like Obama would use this information to “transform America”

As always Norm you overreach and resort to insults because you can’t debate without it. How many of your perfect candidates have won an election in the last 20 years?

I think he’s part of the one world movement, which is why Bush selected him for VP.

Can I hold you to that? Because I get the feeling you’ll pop up again on another thread pushing the same crap.

In my view, the patriots are the people who are not praising Obama and this overreach of the NSA... which I think is illegal ( a unconstitutional action). The funniest thing is seeing the left supporting Obama now that he's went further than Bush did with the snooping/spying on all of us. The most apparent thing is finding how who really protects our constitution. That has been horrible to realize through this entire saga, of so many of these so called republicans and democrats violating their oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution first and foremost.

I'm fairly sure I'll survive that.

What I won't do, is ever, ever compromise my principles.

Totally agree. And that is exactly why we have to stop the insanity of electing people who can ‘win’ with no thought at all to where their principles lie.

Obamacare, American drilling for two.

I don’t believe Romney would not have stopped obamacare despite what MA got.

I cannot imagine Romney would have been as fiscally insane.

And yes the GOPe sucks but Romney wouldn’t, couldn’t have been as bad as zero.
