This person is an Obama supporter. A liberal.
The most dangerous threat to this country is not the CIA monitoring telephone numbers (though it IS a threat)
The greatest danger to this republic is pervasive liberalism and the accompanying socialist and Marxist underpinnings. Those underpinnings will destroy this country more thoroughly and completely than any monitoring program possibly could.
Monitoring programs and invasion of privacy can be stopped via oversight if there is the political will on the part of the citizenry and the government to do so.
Advocating and supporting liberal left policies that have as a goal the destruction of property rights and the ability to keep the fruits of your own labor will demolish the “political will on the part of the citizenry and the government” because destroying our wealth is the equivalent (with respect to freedom) to a farmer destroying the seed for next years crops.
Once that is gone, liberty and freedom go with it.
Because this person Snowden is like a blind squirrel that finds a nut by accident isn’t going to make me support or admire him. I think it is a fine circumstance that he did see fit to spill his guts, but I wouldn’t trust him or admire him.
I view him the same way I view an enemy traitor in a time of war who provides my side with information. The traitor may have all kinds of reasons for his actions (I felt I wasn’t getting the appropriate recognition or promotion, I didn’t agree with the direction of the war, etc) but he still supports the basic beliefs of the side he betrays.
In this case, the guy may be a disenchanted Obama supporter, but by all accounts, he still believes in everything a radical Obama believes in, and that makes him my enemy.
Such a time we live in, where I have to admit to myself that I can view some Americans as enemies, but it is true that I do, as in “Enemies Foreign and Domestic”.
Surveillance will be harnessed to subject everyone to unending leftism.
So take care what power you allow in anyone’s hands.
If you are referring to Snowden, he contributed to Ron Paul more than once.
I think he’s more of a Paul-ite, with liberal tenancies. He went third party, but was hopeful Obama would right the wrongs of the past. That’s a total definition of the Ron Paul anti-Bush feelings of 2008.
To a degree it's possible to evaluate someone in terms of what they don't disagree with. I think he's a hard core Maoist.

After watching him, I find him to be authentic, committed to the rights of US citizens not to be infringed and a person of immense courage and authenticity. That is enough.
His sacrifice for the American people is immense and valuable.
Actually, Snowden was a Ron Paul voter.
