Sick and tired of the Snowden fanbase

63. The OP said

"He seems more like an anti-government libertarian hell-bent on making the United States "look bad"--
so I was responding to that comment.

You don't want to know what I think about what John Kerry has said about it--very disappointing, & certainly not diplomatic. But Kerry's "success" is not dependent on what I think. Washington does not respond on the issues that I care about.

I believe actually, that Snowden's release (what we know so far) ultimately helps the "cause of peace." I don't have time to write an essay on it, but that's my bottom line. This crypt needed to be opened. I hope this shakes up our diplomatic relations and so-called foreign strategies to the point where we lose the arrogance that makes us think we should store and control every byte or yottabyte on the internet. Where does America get off thinking we should have that much control? I wish you could see that this is has potential for a new day, a better day. I want America to be a force for good, not a totalitarian monster. America Uber Alles--no way, sorry.

Stereotypes of "Libertarians," "Chomsky crowd"--etc.
