House Speaker John Boehner today called NSA leaker Edward Snowden a traitor who put Americans at risk by releasing classified information to the media. Hes a traitor, the highest ranking Republican in the House of Representatives said in an extensive interview with ABC News George Stephanopoulos. The disclosure of this information puts Americans ... continued here

He’s a HERO!
Boehner, are you outraged that the American people are being spied on? If not, shut up.
John Boehner just sealed the deal: I am officially as hostile to the Republican Party as I am to the Democrats. Whatever lingering attachment I still had to the GOP is gone.
But then, I’m sure Uncle Sam already knew that.
No such illusions are possible here in Maryland. Single party state.
Our only effective method of protest is to shop on the internet (out of state ) and a number of GOP traitors in the Senate actually voted FOR that Dem bill to collect those (6%) sales taxes for our Democrat Mommy-state masters use.
I am amazed at the morons here buying state run lottery tickets.
>>And this information has helped us stop countless terror attacks Oh yeah? Name some. Prove it. <<
Exactly. And even if it has, so what? Then let’s remove the Fourth Amendment entirely, and monitor ALL speech. Just think of all the terror attacks we could stop!
But then we would be facing a whole new enemy. Which is not a NEW enemy at all. Tyranny.
>>Here the government is only collecting information that the phone companies, etc. are themselves collecting.<<
Are you living under a rock????
What you said isn’t even CLOSE to the truth.
I agree 100%!

I went to college there 50 years ago and I have family members who moved there due to employment. I feel like I’m behind enemy lines whenever I visit.
I am now thinking that we have two parties with slight differences and all those in power care about is their own power and money.
Us schmucks vote them in , either party because we think we have a choice but in the end they in power collect our info, know when we leave the house, watch us drive thr road, know where we shop, how much gas, and then go home to see what we watch in TV and the idiots out there on our side , a couple even on here are more pissed off at a guy who has said the obama Govt is spying o us all and yet he has not done one damn thing to hurt this country and if so for anyone name it .
They’re more mad at this guy for telling the world and that si all he has done than being mad at our rights and law being broken.\
The state was Dem when I moved here Decades ago but since then the Dems managed to take over some solid GOP counties through land (housing and apartment) development, lots of immigration and section 8.
What we have now is a Balkanized citizenry of sheep who have no trouble with wave of tax increase after tax increase, rule after rule. After all the Great Provider is nearby.
Not a peep of rebellion here that I can tell.
please please tell me you are being sarc.
Name one thing which this guy has done to hurt the country, NAME ONE?
All he has done is to tell the world that the obama Govt is breaking the law and taking our rights away and we’re being spied on and then they save the data to maybe in the future to make their enemy list.
You think you have done nothing wrong, how about talking to a friend about your health problem, you might have said that you cheated, you might have a yeast infection it could be anything personal even to living on the toilet a day because of your bowel.
You get up and turn the TV on and they know what you watch, you leave your house and they watch you drive down the road, you get gas and they know how much gas and you go shopping and they know what you buy
Even if you think that is alright then check the law and the 4th amendment because obama is breaking it and people like you sit there hear the elitist talking heads and then repeat those talking points like a good sheep
It’s not mine to share. And if the release is elsewhere, it’s for FR’s safety.
The gop just called me... I told them what I have been telling them for 3 years... that I am done donating to the party... only CONSERVATIVE candidates will get my support... they tried again and I referenced boehner on this and his pledge to make 40 million illegals citizens. I also referenced the lying rubio.

Thank you for your wisdom Mr. Gore. Any other inconvenient truths you’d like to go away to assist in your liberal ranting? Cause that dead CIA asset thing is very real.
Understand, and I don’t need to know. :)
Safety first!

Those who have been violating out 4th amendment rights with impunity are the traitors; Snowden is a whistle blower reporting them.
So you argue that the conspiracy is legal by quoting the conspirators. Interesting tactic.
I however, am endowed by my creator with certain unalienable rights...
And also:
To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
