In reply to the discussion: Is DU really as "divided" when it comes to NSA spying as some say? [View all]RC
(25,592 posts)You think NSA spying is wrong.
You think Snowden is a traitor for exposing the extent of the NSA overreach .
You think Snowden's intent was to damage the Obama Administration.
Do you think that if Snowden had waited and done the same thing during a Republican Administration, then that would have been a good thing? Or not?
Do you think illegal and unconstitutional actions should go unreported because there is presently a Democratic President?
Do you think that if Snowden had done nothing, except his job, and let the illegal and unconstitutional hoovering of our communication data continue, everything would still be just fine?
Why, if the NSA spying is wrong now, should Snowden have waited till the possible Republican Administration to act? Would that be fine with you, if he would have?
What if there was no Snowden and "They" decided they had all they needed to lock down this country shortly after the next national election?
Aren't illegal and unconstitutional actions, illegal and unconstitutional actions, regardless of who is in power? You seem to be saying they are not. It depends on who is in the White House.
Me thinks you need to find a "Critical Thinking 101" class and take it.
Wrongs of this magnitude are wrong, no matter who is in charge. If Obama is letting this go, he needs to take his lumps, just the same as anyone else.
