Snowden Stuck It to the Overclass - For All of Us

[Progressive dog]

30. I suppose if the US materialized from nowhere in the 1970"s

this stuff would make sense. We could just ignore the Robber Barons and their heirs, the ones who gave the US a steep wealth distribution, through most of our country's history.
The US kept women from voting until 1920, the black Americans theoretically gained the vote soon after the civil war, but until the Voting Rights act, 100 years after the civil war and 175 years after our country's founding, states and localities kept many from voting.
Now we have state governments aided by a RW supreme court trying to take us back to a complete loss of civil rights for blacks and other minorities, by stripping power from the Federal government. We have state governments who are trying to strip women's right to choose.
As to Snowden, he is not a traitor, but he is an alleged felon, who fled to avoid prosecution. He is either a tool or a dupe of the very people who want to shrink our Federal government, who want to equate our present administration with the outlaw Bush, and want to harm our nations foreign policy in favor of countries that can be more easily exploited.
