I have nothing in common with you and your Libertarian friends who insist on calling themselves Conservatives. Libertarians are not Conservatives and its useless to pretend otherwise....if you cant accept the security of the Country comes first and you are unwilling to have this traitor make his case under the rule of law..then I simply cannot suffer such foolishness..

So you actually believe that collecting “metadata” on every law abiding citizen in the country and recording every phone call, email, and every other form of electronic communication makes the country more secure? Because that is where we are headed with this thing. Because I do not believe that mindlessly accepting this unimaginable violation of our 4th amendment rights makes any of us more secure.

Exponentially increasing the amount of data collected on absolutely everyone does not make it easier for law enforcement, intelligence agencies, or the military to do their jobs. Massive amounts of data is no substitute for common sense and good intelligence or police work. What massive amounts of data is useful for is oppressing political opponents. We have seen in other recent scandals that Obama and his cronies are willing to use data collected by government agencies against their political opponents... and they already have.

Your position is not that of a conservative who believes in the constitution and opposes tyranny. It has more in common with low information Obama supporters.

its a shame many calling themselves Conservatives don't have the same disdain for Snowden as Obama..

Excuse me, but it was corrupt sick government, not Snowden who was bugging, monitoring, wiretapping, seizing phone records and hacking the Internet/emails of tens of millions of law abiding Americans, turning the Constitution and Bill of Rights on it’s head.

Excuse me, If he anything but a traitor he would come back to the US and present his case in a government court.

Ya, that would work out great for him!

if you cant accept the security of the Country comes first and you are unwilling to have this traitor make his case under the rule of law..

You demand he comes back to a corrupt government to try him in a corrupt government court? You're joking right?

National Security?

As a conga-line of millions enter the country illegally from God knows where during wartime, as your government winks and nods while aiding and abetting them?

You're joking again right?
