(17,532 posts)They simply have a narrative, and then try to fit every thing into their narrative. It's the literary equivalent of mutual masturbation.
There is nothing "shocking", "appalling", "criminal", or even NEW in these latest "breath-taking" revelations, but since they already believe that President Obama and the "career" professional public servants in our security and defense department are ripping the "Constitution to shreds", no amount of reasoned response will get thru. If there is one thing we have learned over the years, it is that ignorance is not limited to "Teabaggers".
Don't ever let on that some Police Officers carry guns, or can use a computer to run your tags against a data base, because to the Snowden/Greenwald worshipers, that would mean that the cops are gonna' kill you, or compile a "secret" dossier they can use to "crush" you.
I mean, my gosh! It's perfectly sensible to believe a 29 year old who would seek asylum in such a "bastion of freedom" as Russia. He ought to try to get out of there with some of their T/S material and see what happens. I'm thinking Putin himself would "shear the little piglet".
