Why are democratic women such warmongers?

Clinton, Feinstein, Rice, Powers .. all rival, and even exceed the war speak that comes from the likes of Bachmann or Palin.

Is this what liberation looks like?

Are antiwar women considered soft?

It is unfortunate, I have often wondered myself, what is it? Is it the classified stuff that they get to read? Is it dealing with the very Patriarichal governments in the world?

Clinton at one time, or I thought, was very anti-war, not sure what has changed unless it was her seeking national office.

I am glad you gave your opinion since you are well read on women issues, have been around the political scene for at least ten years and you are a woman, so I guess you are an expert ;)

No, Rand Paul, Justin Amash, Thomas Massie and other libertarians have come to his aid. A long list of CONSTITUTION BURNING FACIST (sic) Republicans (Peter King, Cantor, Mike Rogers, Thune, Kevin McCarthy) and Feinstein have called for his head.

I believe he was a network administrator hence he would have known the ingress and egress traffic from the firewalls through the routers and switches. He was paid around $200,000 per year which means that he was pretty high up in the technical pecking order.

Not hugely important, but Booz Allen says he was a contractor being paid $122,000.

Good pay for a 29 yr old; they say he was on contract for 3 months with them. But not $200K. And probably not all that high up - although yes, as n/w admin he has a lot of access. But I'm betting he was NOT involved in setting up PRISM (and I'm not saying anyone here said he was involved). I don't know how long he was with the NSA before the 3 months with Booz Allen though.

Reminds me ...years ago ... big reorg going on... IT guy with access to n/w servers got into all the files and found out all about it. Well, then he hung around in the hallways right before the reorg and made it obvious he knew what was going on. He got fired.

He wasn't a whistleblower because the government did nothing wrong.

Political correctness is synonomous with social consciousness, I understand why you have problems with it.
 
Alot of women in this thread and im kind of intimidated I hope they dont collectively rip me to shreds. Im below average intelligence and quite afraid of violent females :)

Snowden was given a position of trust. He had a secret or top secret clearance. To get that clearance he signed that he would NOT divulge any classified information that he came in contact with. He was Briefed and Rebriefed and he had to Swear to that silence more than once.
A whistleblower is someone wh SEEs a crime committed and reports it. A traitor just gives up classified information. Snowden for all intents is a Traitor and I believe there will be no where for him to hide in the long run.

Why the right on some forums are worked up to a frenzy and making Snowden a hero like hes personally saved your Personal Privacy.
Are they serious? First of all any old enough to remember or have knowledge of J Edgar Hoover knows the govt has been spying on individuals FROM DAY 1. Hoover had files on damn near every prominent american in Govt and civilian including movie stars. Elvis Presley was one of J edgar hoovers snitchs.
THe intent to invade your privacy is the same today as it was 50 yrs ago, what changed is the technology that gives them the ability to do it more extensively more efficiently faster and more insidiously. Remember however,
YOU every one of YOU willingly have given your personal privacy away and you give it away everytime you stick that cellphone to your face that your so addicted too.
The tech companies, Apple, Samsung, Sony etc gave the govt the technology and if you think those tech companies are data mining you, you live in lalaland yes its for a different purpose than the govt BUT ITS THE SAME THING.
Now the real bad news, none of us will ever have true privacy ever again. The technology is just going to get bigger and better all the time. As long as you are all addicted to Iphone and Galaxy you might as well bare your butt and walk backwards you are that exposed anyway. You gave your privacy away the govt nor anyone else has taken it from you.
Lastly Snowden is a traitor and should spend 22 out of 24hrs a day in cell until his heart stops imho

Sounds like all of the conservative men who post here. Are you a conservative man? You will have plenty of company.

I suspect this is Superfreak with a new name. Trying to hide from DH. Certainly sounds like him!
