I'll withold my judgement on Snowden's hero status until we find out whether he's helping the Russians and Chinese or not. But the fact we can't ignore is that he unveiled some very disturbing things our government is doing. I think we all have to ask ourselves whether it is possible for freedom and Democracy to live within a heavily surveilled state apparatus, where our government jails or kills whistleblowers and uses the IRS to intimidate political parties. Are we watching the end of freedom and Democracy as we know it? I don't know, but the signs are ominous. THings were bad under Bush Jr, where he did whatever he wanted to, legal or not. But now under Obama, we do the same things and worse, but they just happen to be legal. Is this what we get with a President who is a Constitutional lawyer? Just someone who more thoroughly covers his tracks from a legal standpoint? Shit. Where are the leaders who fight for our Constitutional rights? I don't think they exist anymore outside of Ron Paul, who's now retired.
