18. Yes, Snowden is a HERO for bringing this to light...

Jun 2013

most of us knew that the government was likely engaging in phone tapping, etc. in ways we thought were not allowed under our Constitution. I'm just glad we finally have someone who is willing to place his personal safety and security at risk to expose the corruption and fascism of our government.

We fought fascism from 1941 to 1945 but I guess we didn't learn a lesson from that. The U.S. government is now no different than the Nazis in terms of surveilling its own citizens, killing them at will and generally excreting on the Constitution.
