I am grateful to Snowden that he revealed the spying on Americans by our government. He is both sinner and saint. I need to read Jay Epstein’s book about Snowden, I’ve heard it is well written. I honestly go back and forth on Snowden and what, if any, charges he should face.
I think telling the truth should get him leniency. I am troubled by his other actions, that is why I am torn. There is charges that he was a spy and that is why I need more information.Pointing out that the government is secretly abusing the citizens, is operating outside of the Constitution, is just like telling the truth in an argument.... it is always a "Get out of jail free" card right?
How can there be any argument that Snowden should not be charged at this point?
Those who support the Constitution against its abusers are heroes.
RIGHT?
String him up!
he's a hero.
so is assange.

Dont you like the way he thinks?
I listened to the whole Rogan thing which I rarely do....I mean he is not as bad as Harris for sure but damn it takes so long to get anywhere on average....give me Peterson or Paglia or Rubin anyday.....but almost all the way through I was like "This guy is my twin brother, why did I doubt him! ".
it's hard to unplug from the hive mind, and to go against authority figures with guns.
ive always known I will be persecuted for my beliefs.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

God Damn.......there are not many of us left.
2 timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
The absolute cherry on top is that Snowden revealed government spying, yet, after everything had blown over, the government was still spying on Americans.
