Here Is Edward Snowden's Christmas Message

[sabrina 1]

117. Whatever it is it could not be more misguided and just plain wrong. It doesn't matter who the

person is who has the courage to tell the people when they find out that their Government is violating their rights. And this Government has been exposed, starting with Bush using 9/11 to do so, with violating people's rights, which is a CRIME under our laws, and not only was it NOT stopped when WE elected Democrats to do just that, it has ESCALATED.

Ron Wyden has tried to warn us but was constrained by his position in the Senate. And I TRUST Wyden who has ALWAYS stood up for our rights, often a lonely voice during the Bush administration.

And I trust Snowden's revelations because there are backed up with EVIDENCE and confirm Wyden's warnings.

But what else could you expect when most of Bush's Loyal Buddies in Private Security Corps who were then appointed to high ranking Intelligence positions in our Government, talk about revolving doors, are STILL THERE, five years later.

When you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas. And I'd much rather do that than associate with, in any way, ANYONE connected to those War Criminals. But here we are and now we see what happens when you leave such people in power especially after it was clear that the people wanted them GONE.

But that's why Republicanism (at least as currently practiced) needs to be stamped out.

I thought we did that in 2008! Of course they need to be stamped out ESPECIALLY anyone remotely connnected to the Criminal Bush Administration. But despite all the work it took to stamp out of power, we were to be very disappointed as now we know so many of them are still in power.

This is not a question of loyalty to any person, it is a question of loyalty to THIS COUNTRY. It is about issues, serious issues, not about any individual. But we DO owe a debt of gratitude to all those Whistle Blowers, going back to 2001 who desperately tried to warn us, all of them risking their OWN freedom.

I asked, but didn't get an answer, did you support these policies under Bush?

But what you are defending THEIR policies. Which unfortunately are still in place.

Democrats SHOULD be outraged, BY THE REVELATIONS, not by the messenger.

We are learning an awful about our Party and by defending Bush policies, you are certainly NOT 'stamping out Republicanism', you are doing the opposite, you are promoting it.
