Snowden is a poopy head

[Pholus]

137. The opposite of your Cheney-lovin' heart thankfully.

Wow, you start with a nuanced argument by trying to draw a distinction to give yourself some aires of superiority and then in the very next sentence completely try to blur the lines between Snowden, Rove and Cheney to try to "score" a cheap point. Simply laughable and the debate style of a tosser.

And as far as putting people in "camps" I guess that tracks with my thoughts that you do love Dick Cheney's worldview.

But to be serious I know, buddy, that you want soooo bad for me to be some big bad-old libertarian but sorry to disappoint -- not true.

But it does raise an interesting question about your lexicon.

I think that the government has absolutely no right to collect and analyze data pertaining to my associations and my activities unless they are able to describe in advance why MY PARTICULAR data are relevant to the investigation of a crime and why I IN PARTICULAR should be considered a suspect.

It is obvious that the NSA "collect it all" and "let computers look for patterns" strategy circumvents that, and it is simply a statement that I think the fourth amendment applies here. And you CONCLUDE that makes me a libertarian?

Given your history of binary thinking and "camp" sorting, the corollary is that you must believe that Democrats stand for the opposite. What a sad version of the Democratic ideals you espouse.
