Which of course is a major annoyance for the Security State Defenders.

Personally, I prefer the freedom I have.

Especially given the cruel and unusual punishment doled out to traitors like Bradley Manning. If your choice is that airport, or an all concrete cell in a supermax, take the airport.

WASHINGTON -- Former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) warned Tuesday that the U.S. government may use a drone missile to kill Edward Snowden, who recently leaked classified information on National Security Administration surveillance programs.

"I'm worried about somebody in our government might kill him with a cruise missile or a drone missile," Paul said during an interview on Fox Business News. "I mean, we live in a bad time where American citizens don't even have rights and that they can be killed. But the gentleman is trying to tell the truth about what's going on."

So I'll go with that.

Maybe I'm confused.

Useful media diversion while the wealthy elite and their political envoys continue to ram it to us

Somebody is using him.

Sheesh, who'd athunk it.

I think Obama should fall under the first option.

It's about Mickey Mouse.

... in your flamebait poll that accurately describe someone and it sure as fuck isn't Snowden.

That makes it pretty worthless.

Keeping the eye on the ball, you aren't, as the story of "Snowden" has over-shadowed what we should all be talking about, which is the story of how the United States is nothing to those who value individual rights, including the right to privacy.

Why don't you do a more useful poll on how well we value that right?

and I'll show you the 4th amendment again.

Why don't you just admit you couldn't be bothered with such a poll, as the subject is not in your interests.

How's that nose ring fit? Did you get measured for it?

"The Fourth Amendment only protects you against searches that violate your reasonable expectation of privacy. A reasonable expectation of privacy exists if 1) you actually expect privacy, and 2) your expectation is one that society as a whole would think is legitimate. "

Is it news to you that we expect privacy under the constitution and that "we" is a society as a whole?

WTF?

... "the Courts" that made Dubya, President?

That tells us corporations are people?

That money is speach?

That let O J Simpson walk for murder?

That just gutted the Voting Rights Act?

That those wonderful "more than one Court" you are talking about?

Oh, and btw, virtually EVERY tyrannical, murdering dictator in recorded history, had "the Courts" to justify every thing they did.
