(45,984 posts)ProSense has been a member of DU for about eight years and has thousands of posts, unlike many establishmentarians/authoritarians here who have been members of DU since about the time Greenwald wrote his first piece on the Snowden and the NSA and have dozens of post and all have similar talking points. While it wouldn't surprise to learn that some of the pro-snooping sentiment here is organized by forces unsympathetic basic human rights, whether inside or outside or even hostile to the Democratic Party, I do not suspect ProSense or any other long time DUers of being part of any organized effort tp disrupt the board or otherwise attempt to bully those of us who aren't buying it that the National Security State is the wave of the future -- and doing a dreadful job of it.
ProSense, Sid Dithers and others may be wrong, buy they're wrong on their own terms and we owe them the benefit of that doubt.
