19. It's OK to criticize Jesus Christ, even if you're a Christian, in my book.

But w.r.t. Snowden, I prefer to focus on the facts that he's revealed.

If someone else wants to smear him as a person, that's their right.

But then, I think the WOT is a POS used for over a decade to fuck us over. And I think the WOT is getting so out of hand under Obama that neocons must be envious of his methods. I don't believe a word that comes out of an american politicians mouth anymore, whether "progressive", "liberal", "conservative", "tea-party", or "middle". Not one word of it has changed a bloody thing, however nice the sound byte.

I don't want to hear any more peachy keen rhetoric, I want to see people in politics making sacrifices and taking risks in attempts to actually fix the mess, and I don't see that.
