It's weird that you assume my POV. I have said virtually nothing about the NSA/Snowden thing. Research it if you don't believe me. I'm just watching it play out because it's still in progress as is my opinion.

That said, I'm just watching the chess moves on the board by those that covet the WH. I'll say again Rand Paul eyeing the WH creeps me the hell out. Just watching his moves.

I dunno. Americans don't really seem to care about the spying and both Pauls have done and said a BenzoDia Jul 2013 #12

"Support the 4th Amendment." "Defend the Constitution." It's that simplistic to you, right? randome Jul 2013 #59
