Natural Alliances Forming

The real alliances are forming in the wake of Edward Snowden's whistleblowing.

Notice the establishment is closing ranks with guys like Boehner and Rove backing the President while calling him a "traitor" and pundits and commentators like Beck and Moore calling Snowden a "hero." Citizens of all stripes on one side, and the government on the other.

Tyranny in the flesh. What's that movie again?

I don't get Obama's take on things. In his last speech he claimed the war on terror was over - remember Al-queda was "on the run?"  -  but claimed security measures like NSA spying on millions upon millions of people is necessary to...get this....fight terrorism?

How about stop dicking around and go to the source Mr. President - Muslim radicals. I think the government is more than capable of focusing on the ONE group committing these acts. The juvenile antics of Obama and his 'leadership'  of blaming videos should be enough to shame them. Speaking of which, the man who did jail time for it (sorry, violating probation), vows to finish the film.

I'd be fuming too.

Anyway. Right. Racial profiling and political correctness. So let's violate the rights of all citizens!

From Politico.

Politico's comment threads are a little more balanced I find. Far more than ThinkProgress or Huffington:

"Hmm, somehow, so-called classified information, namely, that our country is treating us like the enemy and spying on us, is something that should be exposed. Not "classified" in order to keep us from knowing about it. What is so hard for you to understand here? Just because committing Treason is being classified doesn't mean one becomes a lap dog. It means you atleast growl, or show your fangs as per Eric Snowden.

Let me put this another way. Remember the Boston Marathon bombings? Holder and the Prez were/are both on record as thinking that the perps were probably people who didn't like to pay taxes---it happened in the context of that yearly April event we all face. Remember? Now we know that the IRS was not only going after Obama's political rivals who want less taxes and less BIG BROTHER GOVT, but was extracting personal, private info and then passing it on to Obama's political supporters like George Soros et al. Remember how the Prez's people, like Salon.com writers who openly almost got down on their knees and prayed about it publically,"O Lord, let the terrorists be Tea-baggers! dear God!"

Well, it was committed by the very ones who Russia revealed were going to do just that. About a year before the fact. But we know that just like snail darters, Islam is a protected species and it is now a crime to even talk about them unless we agree with them that they are THE religion of peace."
