While some might say that technically Snowden is a traitor, I would say that a person who exposes government corruption and tyranny is a true patriot, not a traitor. What say you?

And what are you gonna’ do about it, Crybaby Boehner? Huh?

You’re all mouth and worthless. I can’t imagine what you’re putting our country through by refusing to withhold funding from scores of illegal programs.

No what this is all the politicians who are in the spot light in the passed few weeks who are involved in those other scandals are defecting attention into this guy so they won’t be seen not doing their jobs of getting to the bottom of these other scandals.

I am as straight arrow as they come, however I just do not like the direction this government has taken.

I have nothing to hide with the exception of youthful mistakes we all make.

It makes me uncomfortable knowing when someone types, speaks or writes something purposefully or not might it be used against them when it was completely innocent.

That is in my mind the crux of this issue...

Lets not kid ourselves. We knew what this guy was years ago.

As far as I am concerned this qualifies him to be a traitor, but then his efforts at legalizing tens of millions of foreign nationals on our soil was the act of a traitor also.

All those who advocated for registration and legalization were traitors.

Here we are kiddos. It is what it is.

I say this: if the government is not bound by the supreme law of the Land (The Constitution for the United States) then how can any of the laws passed by congress, including those concerning treason, sedition and/or top-secret information be valid at all? They cannot, for by rejecting that which gives them authority they cut off their own authority. This is what is at issue here: those who claim that this breach of security is terrible are unthinking loyalists (to the structure of the government) who grant the government carte blanche to do whatever it wants — it is these people who will make Ruby Ridge and Waco into common events, and they will sit in smug self-satisfaction as they rot out all liberties and replace it with utter tyranny.

“Traitor”???

LOL

He’s an invention and a shiny object.

Kind of a sleight of hand...

People! People! Look over there!

No way this guy exists.

Not even qualified for Top Secret.

The clue is his bio.

No high school, college. That right there doesn’t even get your resume on anyone’s desk.

He’s a distraction.

"Boehner went on to say that (selective members of) Congress was (were) briefed on the programs that were being used and that attorneys were always present to protect the privacy of Americans find loopholes in the law.”

Boehner is an important part of the ROTTEN ESTABLISHMENT.

He views his job as NOT UPSETTING THE APPLE CART which is what Snow den did.

I think Snowden is far from a traitor...I would reserve that label for the current occupant of the White House. Keep in mind that Snowden did not leak the content of what was being collected, merely the fact that data was being collected illegally on US citizens. This is far different than Bradley Manning and Wikileaks.

Pot, meet kettle.

You are a vile little human being, boehner. Does Obama have dirt on you too?

Dianne Feinstein and John Boehner agree. Forward, comrade!

I would say that a person who exposes government corruption and tyranny is a true patriot, not a traitor.

And then flees to China for refuge? This is a complex story with much yet to be revealed. For instance, the reporter responsible for the story says he was working with the leaker before he joined the NSA contractor. How? Why? I'm not ready to jump on any traitor vs. patriot bandwagons yet. I want to see more of the hidden part of the iceberg.

Boehner is in a position to do SO MUCH GOOD for America, and he avoids doing 99% of it, and now this ?

By calling Snowden a Traitor —Boehner is saying he agrees with the wire tapping the tracing of calls and the violations of the Constitution.

We won’t see this scandal amount to anything because the politicians are all for it.

Now we know who the Traitor is, He is sitting in the Speakers chair.

I’m not ready to call Snowden a hero nor traitor. I ask, what critical secret is he really divulging? If his intent was truly malicious, people would be dead around the world.

I bet the people calling him a traitor just loved NDAA, that’s the means of tyranny. Hardly a peep on this site. NDAA provided for black hood rendition of citizens to a dark cell in Poland. Let’s all sing God Bless America.

I think I’m very comfortable with the statistical terrorism risk associated with entirely less security of this kind.
