It would be a disaster for American-German relations if Snowden came to Germany and publicly testified before the Bundestag. What Green MP Christian Ströbele ultimately is hoping for after his surprise visit with Edward Snowden in Moscow would be a nightmare for Stephen Szabo of the German Marshall Fund, as well for the Obama administration.
The relationship between the two countries is headed towards a deep, downward spiral, says Szabo. This must be stopped. If Snowden were to come to Germany with official blessing, the situation would escalate further, warns the long-time Germany expert and vice-president of the German Marshall Fund in Washington.

Obama has escalated surveillance 4 fold and he started with the American people.
Obama loves him some spys, but of course he knows NOTHING
To me, conservatism is the least ideological philosophy, because it primarily looks at actual results and bases its positions on common sense and practicality. Both liberals and libertarians get caught up in bumper sticker beliefs and try to reshape reality to fit their beliefs instead of focusing on what actually works.

“This country has a 13% flat tax, no capital gains tax, soldiers on their borders, and no fággots in their army...”

According to the Wikipedia, Wild-eyed Cindy is RC.
Which part of their ideology do you think conflicts with human nature or practicality? Conservatives obviously don’t completely agree on the details of implementing their idelogy, e.g. the fair tax vs. the flat tax. But the idea of lower taxes and smaller government is based on years of observation about what seems to most benefit an economy. Likewise we support constitutional principles because they worked to make us the most successful country in the world. I think conservatism is more tuned to human nature than any other political philosophy.
Fair enough, but how did we get here?
And how do we get America to a 10% flat tax??
There is only one way, and Obama knows this
You have to make the old system collapse.
Alinsky and Obama went a step further.
They said use the system to BREAK the System.
That is what they are up to
Ted Cruz is use the system to DEFEND the system, and here is the real rub, the moles in the system are fighting him from our side of the aisle
I am taking notes while Ted gets the cockraoches running.
Whoo!! Bad post.
Bedtime for bonzo
There is only one way, and Obama knows this You have to make the old system collapse.
Except Obama thinks collapse == socialism && therefore he wins!
We must ensure the opposite outcome! 10% flat tax and America rebuilt on the ashes of the collapse!
Ted Cruz was called a terrorist for trying to stop Obamacare before it started. But the establishment Republicans opposed him and said they wanted Obamacare to take effect because it would cause Americans pain which would benefit the party politically. So which one is really the terrorist?
Definition of terrorism:
noun: terrorism
the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.
agree!
But you do understand that the only way to implement a 10% flat tax is to abolish the IRS as we know it.
They are to big, to fat. To many people make a living off of the complicated tax code
Now here is another rub,
Obama has expanded the IRS while getting people to think that he is trying to simplify thien lives
He is getting away with murder
Getting back to Snowden.
I think this guy is on Obamas payroll.
What are you defining “human nature” as?
I think he was a Russian spy all along.
Valerie Jarrett is an Iranian spy.
