I don't like any of it, I hark back to the words of Benjamin Franklin, "Those who would give up liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety" or something along those lines. No, the scariest thing about what is happening is that they are developing the infrastructure of a police state. Granted that does not seem to be an immediate threat, but it is a switch that could be flipped at any moment. Have we so forgotten the incredible teachings of the founders of this country? Our entire constitution was written to protect the liberty of the individual and restrict the state to only that which was necessary to effect an orderly society, are we such a weak people that we would let those living in the Mountain villages, and deserts of the middle east take our freedoms and liberties from us via the fear they inspire within us? Have we become such a weak people that the killing of a few thousand of our citizens would make as cower so low as to forget the sacrifice of the more than half a million Americans who gave their lives in WWII preserving the very freedoms that we seem so willing to now give up with little fight?

No, I don't like it at all, I would rather that our government respected our liberties and our constitution, even if it means that we become more susceptible to attack... There was a time in this country when liberty and freedom was valued more than life itself.

I defended Snowden's actions in the beginning, I am not so sure I can defend his flight to China and Russia though, the two countries who seem ruthless in their dealings with the US and the two countries who seemingly pose the largest threat to the US both militarily and at least in China's case economically.

Not that I really give a hoot how many times Obama uses "I" as "I" am more concerned about him leading the nation, but let's look at the link submitted.

Someone claims they have sampled texts of weekly radio addresses delivered by Obama and George W. Bush, and 10% of Reagan's radio addresses. This someone than alleges he listened to the addresses, counted the total words (or used a program) and the number of "I's," and presto! He/She came up with a percentage for each man showing Obama used "I" the least of the three men. That certainly resolves it for me! :D
