Edward Snowden Had Better Never Come Home

[Mani]

Do you know who your company is doing a survey like that for?

That would be a tidbit of interesting information...

Dept. Of Homeland security. LOL.




I'm sure if the Poll asked about who Miley or Beiber or a Kardashian the response would be much more informed and indepth.

A lady that I know was excited that the Pope was Time's person of the year and in the same breath expressed that she was disgusted that Snowden was a fellow nominee. When I compared Snowden to people like Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine, she didn't know who they were.

People know what they hear on TV. That is all most know.

 

[muh_roads]

People don't care about what is the right thing to do. They only care that their sports team "won".

I sometimes torture myself by lurking the democratic underground and there are so many people over there that dislike Snowden. It's really fucking sad. If this happened under Dubya's watch democrats would pounce all over it.

I guess one thing is for sure, Republicans are consistent with their fascist embrace. Hopefully Rand can change some minds.

 

[frodus24]

TV is the biggest distractor in this country. In my opinion, it has single handily ruined people's ability to think!

 

[Philhelm]

Ugh...execute him based on vague assumptions inculcated by propaganda? "Rome is the mob."

More like execute him for admitting what everyone other than complete and utter morons already assumed was happening.

 

[Thor]

Baaaaaahhhhhh... Hillary, Hillary, shes our man, if she can't do it, Christie can!

Did you see the game last night...

Burp.

I work in a telephone call center doing phone surveys. (Yeah, I'm one of THOSE people.) ...

Oh, you are one of THOSE people I hang up on in the first five seconds of the call. I wonder how many liberty lovers or supporters of Snowden would even give a telemarketer the time of day, let alone discuss politics with them. So I am sure your numbers are skewed; however, I do find it disturbing that a large number of people are so ignorant.

So true.

I also wonder how the questions lead the person to their answers?

Good grief, people are not only stupid but heartless. Why would someone want to hang a guy if you're not absolutely certain about what he did?[/i]

Cocoa, your perspective is really right on.

My take is that he was used. A puppet. He did not compromise national security. He was used to distract us from more important things, but mostly to make us afraid to share information needed to unify in defense of the constitition and resist NWO, federal infiltration.

 

[Cap]

Why am I not surprised?

Because this is human nature, this ability to be both cowardly and bloodthirtsy, stupid yet cunning.

Jesus understood this.

Hobbes understood this.

Jefferson understood this.

Mencken understood this.

The fatal vanity was that, as Americans, we somehow thought we were "better" than that.

I would add to the list:
Stalin
Hitler
Mao
and Our current overlords.

By the very same token, if you take control of the narrative, you can control them as easily as well. That's why I'm not worried about being outnumbered. The sheep will eventually fall in line as they desperately clamor for that shepherd. We need to be the shepherd. That's the lesson here.

Valid point.

I think what needs to be understood is that there will be no large scale "awakening", no resurgence of liberty and humanity in the human breast of Boobus.

 

[AnarchoCapitalist]

They want fed and entertained. After that, most couldn't care less about what happens.

So Snowden was a government stoolie?

Not afraid, my data mining friend, the word is cautious.

History will end up proving us to be the very worst.

I agree with the OP...Ed, if you happen to read this: STAY AWAY!

Boobus will kill you for trying to set him free.

My theory is that most people don't want to be free, they want to be taken care by someone else that they believe is smarter and stronger than they are. Humans flock to what they percieve as protective father figures. A strong state fills that need for many.

I would guess it is a more older crowd too, just land lines, right?

I work in a telephone call center doing phone surveys. (Yeah, I'm one of THOSE people.) This past little while we have been doing a survey about political subjects, one of which is people's opinion on Edward Snowden. We call all across the country, in every time zone, in every region. And by far Americans as a majority seem to have demonstrated two things to me and my colleagues.

1. Americans know very very very little about what Edward Snowden did, what he did and did not reveal, and what it tells us the government is doing to us. Their ignorance was astounding.

and

2. They still want him to hang for it. By far, most people wanted him tried for treason, which carries the death penalty. Some volunteered that they thought he should be executed for his crimes, even though that wasn't specifically asked for on the survey.

So, Edward Snowden, if this every reaches you-Don't come home. Not now at least. The American sheeple do not understand what you have done for them and would see you imprisoned, or worse killed, for telling the truth and revealing the government's corruption. Sadly you are safer and freer in a place like Russia than you would be here.

Maybe he should run for Congress.

[jjdoyle]

Maybe he should run for Congress.

I don't know. It seems like he actually took his oath very seriously, protecting against "enemies foreign and domestic".
Well, assuming he took the oath....

But, everything I know of him, and what he did, and what he continues to do/say, seems spot-on. A quote about the recent breaking news about the CIA spying on Senators/staff.
"Snowden, who is in Russia on temporary asylum, added: “But it’s equally if not more concerning that we’re seeing another ‘Merkel effect,’ where an elected official does not care at all that the rights of millions of ordinary citizens are violated by our spies, but suddenly it’s a scandal when a politician finds out the same thing happens to them.”"

He should be hired by a political firm, to make talking points and quick responses to current issues like this. Freaking destroyed them on the hypocrisy. Completely destroyed.

This seems like a lousy place to come to and post threats against Mr. Snowden.

I surprised the statement still stands.

It looks to me like the poll of this thread and Edward Snowden's actions would warrant him a Congressional Medal of Honor. That is if there was any honor left in Congress.

In the very least you'd certainly be welcome as far as I'm concerned.
