72. You are a dissenter to a mock question?

What organization are you with? Really. I think you are more of a troll that has nothing to contribute.

The entire thread was in jest.. a friend asked me to post the question and we wanted to see how many pro-Snowden, pro-Greenwald, anti-Obama, anti-US, the end of the world is coming, posters would reply. Like moths to a flame. And always the same people too! Basically a group of unhappy people pissed off at the world.

I find the statement from Greenwald today referring to the US as a "lawless, rogue empire" as hair on fire, over-the-top unprofessional journalism. Someone who can't be trusted as a source.

And then go read the posts in this thread that go out of the way to say how "bad" the US is... when the NSA scandel first broke, I was told that the US is now like when Stalin reigned! omg... or was it Hitler!
