Quote of the Day. 6.18.2013 - Edward Snowden

"Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him ... the better off we all are." - Edward Snowden; NSA Whistleblower

Fear becomes us; Government response is we cant keep you safe unless we take away.

Talk about a speech to insight FEAR among us. We cant PROTECT you UNLESS we STRIPE you of some of your PERSONAL FREEDOMS...

Im worried how easily we are falling for this line of BS in this country. Terrorism, Terrorists, are part of everyday life in most BIG CITIES in America. But all of a sudden we need to lose freedoms for our Government Agencies to do their jobs efficiently.

Now for those of you who will say or question that people in Big Cities, and in smaller ones and rural America too, are NOT living with Terrorism in their lives everyday...what do you think the GANGs are? They do random acts of violence, hold hostages, sell drugs, blow up cars, shoot innocent people, etc. I think this by definition is terrorism. I havent seen anything out of our Government that would justify listening in on EVERYONE in order to catch a few; or has our CIA, FBI, etc, become inferior and incompetent that they can no longer trace or track those people on known terror lists? I mean we let the 9/11 hijacker have VISA's into our country. They were on WATCH lists. We, our government ALLOWED them into our borders. They were not American citizens trying to do this. So now, all of a sudden we have to listen to everyone to follow just a few...for shame that we find this acceptable.

Where is our wake up call???

Our fear is allowing us to become a Police State. Its sad that they have bred us to fear everything and everyone; through this fear, we line up like sheep and allow these things to happen. Corporate Freedoms are increasing and civil liberties are dying. Our Nation has been through so many adversities without allowing this to happen, so why are we allowing this now?

There have been many acts of terror in our Nation and we didnt allow ourselves to lose so much civil liberties in order to bring about justice on just a few.

We all should be ashamed. And to those of us, on the LEFT, who stand by this Administration, because you fear accountability will allow the RIGHT to seize control once again....you are wrong. If this was the RIGHT doing this, you would be screaming for JUSTICE and for heads to roll. We are supposed to be a party of PROGRESS; this is NOT progress. This is not Social Justice. By allowing this to happen, we are eroding the core fabric of our ideals that we hold dear to us...and our becoming like the Extreme Right.

Our Nation, seems to be facing a moment of 'Dark Ages.' Find your voices once again, take to the streets and protest, write letters to your Congressman/women, cast the first stone....but dont sit by and just let this happen.

Find your Path once again America.
