"As a reminder, President Obama once called a newborn baby a "fetus outside of the womb," and voted in Illinois multiple times against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, legislation that requires doctors to give babies who survive abortions medical care and full protections under the law." Yes Katie and as a reminder we elected Obama twice as President so what does that tell us about the majority of Americans?

"charities"

It is disturbing how many of these bad chaities are Law Enforcement related.

Obamaphobic = Patriotic American that would certainly include me.

It is ludicrous that Holder and Obama's children can receive benefit from race based admissions but not a poor white miner's children from Appalachia. Race based admissions should have been struck down decades ago.

Joseph64, if Snowden is such a hero why is he in China? Of all the countries he could have sought asylum why China?

Conservatives need to be very careful treating this Snowden like a hero. There were much better ways he could have raised suspicion about the NSA program. Snowden acted the same way Private Manning did and most Conservatives correctly condemned Manning"s actions. If we believe in the rule of law we need to be consistent. Remember John Adams defended and got off the British soldiers who committed the Boston massacre. Supporting those who break the law because we believe the end justifies the means will bring anarchy.

If Congress knew it makes what Snowden did even more heinous because obviously there were some Conservatives that were aware of this program but were good with it.

Manning and Snowden are both traitors.

I am approaching this as a 27 year military officer with a Top Secret Security Clearance. You don’t go outside the Government until you have exhausted all other avenues and then be prepared to pay a huge price for your convictions. It is hubris of the highest level to believe that you have the right to make the judgment that this program or this information should be leaked merely because you think so. This information is protected for a reason and very often leaking it can mean the death of loyal Americans. If we as Conservatives call Snowden a Patriot then we need to call Private Manning a Patriot, I respectfully choose to call them both traitors.
