The drone program alone makes me question all my previous assumptions about this president -- not to mention Guantanamo, Assange, Manning and Snowden. What kind of belief are people following? "If the President does it, it is not illegal"? Where have we heard that before?clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006229490840930891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-62081778498669519062013-06-30T21:09:21.709-08:002013-06-30T21:09:21.709-08:00The response to the Snowden leaked information fro...The response to the Snowden leaked information from many on the left all over the country has stunned me. The attack on Glenn Greenwald has been revealing. Many on the left are just as controlled by propaganda from the MSM as the right is. One reason for the attacks against him are his shining excellence in telling the truth while the news media works with and is controlled by the government. He makes them look bad, so they are attacking him in a personal way. Isn't it also surprising to realize there are so many authoritarians on the left?Celia Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733639730157569439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-28864993121433248132013-06-30T09:07:08.520-08:002013-06-30T09:07:08.520-08:00As to Wright being a bit removed — I am referring ...As to Wright being a bit removed — I am referring to his being involved still in the NSA. That involvement does imply he feels separate from we mere civilians. And this is the crux of the problem with NSA: We citizens feel at a disadvantage and scared that our military/government is spying on us. Our military is supposed to be apolitical and this does not bode well in maintaining that very important wall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-41852808162798598012013-06-30T08:44:41.463-08:002013-06-30T08:44:41.463-08:00Despite Wright’s authoritarian streak I find him i...Despite Wright’s authoritarian streak I find him interesting. He does seem a bit removed from real life though. I often wonder if it is because he is military - or typical of a personality that is drawn to the military? On the base near my home I also notice all the televisions are set on Fox News. Is this a case of intentional indoctrination or are military types drawn to Fox?

Sadly i only read him every so often. Has a gift for writing! His turning skills i could spend time talking with him about.<br /><br />IM is not worth my time, gave that up a few years ago. Wonder if i am still banned?<br /><br />Yes Alaska blogs have sure changed. Waiting to see your next Saturday spawnup--Heh had to try that. AKjah,homeroid<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
