Glenn Greenwald

[jehop61]

and his anti American retoric is getting tiresome and boring. I love my country, despite its flaws.

[Hissyspit]

1. Yawn.

Ad Hominem. Blind Nationalism. Either/Or Fallacy.

Possibly Greenwald wants nation to live up to its standards?

[Cooley Hurd]

2. ...said the happy National Socialist.

...right before being led to the edge of town.

[11 Bravo]

18. Godwin called. He said to tell you that you lose.

[Cooley Hurd]

19. I knew that even before I posted...

[tblue]

3. Okay.

[Thinkingabout]

4. We should not allow a few scumbags to destroy our way of life on the US, love us or leave us.

[Harmony Blue]

6. If your way of life entails

broad, sweeping spying programs no thanks.

You can have it if you love it so much.

[Thinkingabout]

17. I do not have a problem with my phone call records being collected but I do have a problem with a

Spy having diarrhea of the mouth and releasing information he did not have authorized to copy and disclose to anyone. If you don't like me the collecting of data you should be totally pissed at Snowden for having files in his possession which just might be your records.

8. John Birch Society in the 1960s, is that you?

What a joke of a thing to post.

[Skidmore]

10. The John Birch Society is alive and well and its flame

is being carefully nursed by the Koch brothers and the teabaggers in the bosom of the Republican Party.

[Hissyspit]

13. Yes, but the saying is from the 1960s.

Archie Bunker stuff.

Post must mean it as satire, surely, right?

[Skidmore]

14. I would assume.

[WilliamPitt]

11. "We should not allow a few scumbags to destroy our way of life on the US, love us or leave us."

[Hissyspit]

12. "Love It or Leave It," really?

Seriously?

[bahrbearian]

16. Yes I love driving my HUMMER were ever I like

[avebury]

5. It is hardly anti-American to tell the public what our

country is doing to our own citizens as well as the rest of the world. We have lost the moral high ground and have a government that becomes more and more authoritarian as time goes one. This country is run for the benefit of big corporations and the 1% and is no longer a country of the people and for the people.

There have been whistle blowers who have tried to work through the system to report abuses by those within our government and have had their lives trashed and nothing changes. We have a corporate run media which makes true investigative reporting rare, particularly with the recent loss of Michael Hastings. We have a country where the 1%, big business, and many within government can act in a manner so destructive to our country and citizens without facing the consequences of illegal/immoral activity.

I refuse to tar and feather people like Glenn Greenwald and Edward Snowden. Our government has no right to whine about what has happened because it has failed to due its duty to the people for way too many years. Ford pardoning Nixon was the first lesson in the higher you up in the food chain the easier it is to get away with criminal activity. Obama and the Democrats giving the Bush Jr. government a pass for all their crimes perpetuates that belief that they are above the law.

It is truly a sad era when we have to look to social media to hold anybody up to the light of public scrutiny because the main stream media and government certainly no longer does it (unless you are the sacrificial lamb served up for punishment or a whistle blower).

7. Other people follow the news for information, not entertainment (nt)

[WilliamPitt]

9. Oh for the luvva crumbcake...

[olddots]

15. America fix it or forget it

the love it or leave douche bags from the 60s helped destroy what was the start of a pretty good country .
