Edward Snowden: Truth is coming, and it cannot be stoppedhttp://rt.com/news/snowden-edward-nsa-guardian-817/Edward Snowden kicked off the session by describing the targeted campaign by the US government to paint him as a traitor, “just as they did with other whistleblowers." The smear campaign, he argues, has destroyed the possibility of a fair trial at home. In this regard, his decision to leave the United States was not based on any desire to evade justice, especially since he believes he can “do more good outside of prison.” Snowden realized his choice of Hong Kong as a refuge would stir up anti-Chinese hysteria in the US media and be used as a tool to “distract away from the issue of US government misconduct.” He remained emphatic, however, that he had in no way shape or form acted on behalf of Beijing, saying that he “only works with journalists.” 'Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is highest honor for an American'Snowden further deployed his considerable wit to cast aspersion on members of the US political elite who had led leveled the traitor charge against him. “It's important to bear in mind I'm being called a traitor by men like former Vice President Dick Cheney. This is a man who gave us the warrantless wiretapping scheme as a kind of atrocity warm-up on the way to deceitfully engineering a conflict that has killed over 4,400 and maimed nearly 32,000 Americans, as well as leaving over 100,000 Iraqis dead. Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him, [Democratic Senator Dianne] Feinstein, and [Republican Senator Peter]King, the better off we all are. If they had taught a class on how to be the kind of citizen Dick Cheney worries about, I would have finished high school.” Lol at the Cheney part.

Hardly! 4 million Republicans stayed home. Romney had fewer voters than McCain did. If he'd simply MATCH McCain's tally, he'd be president right now.
One study claimed Romney would have needed 73% of the Latino vote to beat Obama, with the numbers he had among white voters. As for dramatic change since the 60s, did you forget that Reagan and Bush I won LANDSLIDE elections, despite getting no more than 35% of the Latino vote, on average?
Bush only got 30% of the Latino vote, DESPITE Reagan granting full-blown unapologetic amnesty to Latinos, just 2 years earlier.
It is about issues; it's about relating conservative principles and how they, not liberal ones, address those issues. Romney thought that just the economy being sorry was enough to get people to turn on Obama. All Obama did (with plenty of help) is con those people into believing that his failure to live up to his promises wasn't really his fault.
Plus, you forget that politics can change on a dime (as I learned some time ago). Go back 8 years. Did ANYONE believe we'd be where we are after Bush got re-elected and the GOP got more seats in Congress?
The Dems are all about amnesty, because the more broke Latinos we have, the more government-dependent they are; thus, the more they vote Democrat. If Latinos voted GOP, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et. al. would ROUND THEM ALL UP PERSONALLY and haul them back to Mexico/Cuba/DR on the first thing smoking.
You are saying the GOP voters prefer a black commie dictator over the republican alternative. If thats not a change in the voters i dont now what is.

Pakistani Jihadists Bomb Bus Carrying Schoolgirls, Launch Coordinated Attack On Hospital Where Victims Were TakenMilitants in Pakistan have bombed a bus carrying female students before attacking the hospital where survivors and relatives of the victims had gathered.
At least 23 people were killed in the twin attacks – including 12 women on the bus, travelling to a university in Quetta, capital of the troubled Baluchistan province. Eleven others died when a bomb exploded in the emergency ward of the city’s Bolan Medical Complex where the wounded were taken. The attack in resource-rich Baluchistan was Pakistan’s most lethal since the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif took office last week and followed earlier explosions in a nearby town that killed a policeman and destroyed a historic building. The gunmen remain holed up in the hospital building, with some attackers on the roof and others in the corridors. Some reports suggested that patients had been taken hostage. The hospital has been cordoned off by security forces, said Abdul Wasey, spokesman for Pakistan’s paramilitary Frontier Corps. “A bomb exploded in the emergency ward killing 11 people and wounding 17 others,” he said. “Militants are also hiding in different wards and firing is continuing. We are trying to clear the premises. We have launched an operation and an exchange of fire is still continuing between security forces and the militants.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/10122549/Gunmen-in-Pakistan-bomb-female-students-bus-then-attack-hospital.htmlWhat a disgusting ideology. For every c*nt that loves comparing Islam to the other religions out there, please show me examples of other religious groups doing this within the last few years. You won't find shit. Religion of peace.

Forcefully round them up and drop them off back where they came from. They'll quickly realize what dumb fucks they are, and what the word "opportunity" really means.
It is the second and third generation Muslims that are often problematic. Their fathers and grandfathers came to these countries for better economic opportunity, in addition to fleeing dictatorial oppressive regimes.
The offspring quickly become arrogant, spoiled little shits, and use retarded 8th century spiritual teachings to justify their anti-social, lazy leach criminal behaviour.
You also have to investigate social engineering policies, more precisely, individuals or groups that are directly responsible for formulating and proposing "multicultural" approaches to economic sustainability and growth.
Who are these c.unts, and why are they allowed to impose radical social engineering strategies?

Where did I say that???
Right here: have you looked at countries like brazil and the gun violence rate?
tell me how taking guns away from the law abiding citizens while letting the criminals keep theirs is going to help the situation?
What situation?
what youre moronic ass is advocating is taking guns away from good ppl b/c bad ppl are irresponsible and violent. Do you understand that?
We are all good people. Until we are not anymore. Requiring a permit will keep guns somewhat out of "bad" peoples hands. So i see you are in favor of background checks? Keeping the guns out of the hands of the "bad" Guys?

really have you looked at the areas in the US with the strictest gun control?
have you looked at countries like brazil and the gun violence rate?
you obviously have done no research what so ever on this subject and are simple spouting off liberal talking points
Yup if only Brazil had NO gun control they would not have problems. Are you really that dumb Tony?

nice melt, this generally happens when someone faces facts they cant argue against
never lived in a trailer park not that there is anything wrong with it.
Im well educated, well employed and also well travelled including my last trip to Brazil. Where gun laws are very strict and they still have gun problems....
"Gun control works" doesnt mean gun control will solve all gun problems. It means it will reduce them so by that definition it works. So its a lie it doesnt work. Is the benefits worth effort? Thats another debate. It might not be worth it but then take that debate instead of repeating that NRA BS.

IF THE GOP IS THIS STUPID, IT DESERVES TO DIE June 12, 2013
Share on facebookShare on twitterShare on emailShare on printMore Sharing Services1.8K
Democrats terrify Hispanics into thinking they'll be lynched if they vote for Republicans, and then turn around and taunt Republicans for not winning a majority of the Hispanic vote.
This line of attack has real resonance with our stupidest Republicans. (Proposed Republican primary targets: Sens. Kelly Ayotte, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio.) Which explains why Republicans are devoting all their energy to slightly increasing their share of the Hispanic vote while alienating everyone else in America.
It must be fun for liberals to manipulate Republicans into focusing on hopeless causes. Why don't Democrats waste their time trying to win the votes of gun owners?
As journalist Steve Sailer recently pointed out, the Hispanic vote terrifying Republicans isn't that big. It actually declined in 2012. The Census Bureau finally released the real voter turnout numbers from the last election, and the Hispanic vote came in at only 8.4 percent of the electorate -- not the 10 percent claimed by the pro-amnesty crowd.
The sleeping giant of the last election wasn't Hispanics; it was elderly black women, terrified of media claims that Republicans were trying to suppress the black vote and determined to keep the first African-American president in the White House.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, 10 percent more blacks voted in 2012 compared to 2008, even beating white voters, the usual turnout champions. Eligible black voters turned out at rate of 66.2 percent, compared to 64.1 percent of eligible white voters. Only 48 percent of all eligible Hispanic voters went to the polls.
No one saw this coming, which is probably why Gallup had Romney up by 5 points before Hurricane Sandy hit, and up by 1 point in its last pre-election poll after the hurricane. Only two groups voted in larger numbers in 2012 compared to 2008: blacks aged 45-64, and blacks over the age of 65 -- mostly elderly black women.
In raw numbers, nearly twice as many blacks voted as Hispanics, and nine times as many whites voted as Hispanics. (Ninety-eight million whites, 18 million blacks and 11 million Hispanics.)
So, naturally, the Republican Party's entire battle plan going forward is to win slightly more votes from 8.4 percent of the electorate by giving them something they don't want.
As Byron York has shown, even if Mitt Romney had won 70 percent of the Hispanic vote, he still would have lost. No Republican presidential candidate in at least 50 years has won even half of the Hispanic vote.
In the presidential election immediately after Reagan signed an amnesty bill in 1986, the Republican share of the Hispanic vote actually declined from 37 percent to 30 percent -- and that was in a landslide election for the GOP. Combined, the two Bush presidents averaged 32.5 percent of the Hispanic vote -- and they have Hispanics in their family Christmas cards. [b/]
John McCain, the nation's leading amnesty proponent, won only 31 percent of the Hispanic vote, not much more than anti-amnesty Romney's 27 percent.[b/] Amnesty is a gift to employers, not employees.
The (pro-amnesty) Pew Research Hispanic Center has produced poll after poll showing that Hispanics don't care about amnesty. In a poll last fall, Hispanic voters said they cared more about education, jobs and health care than immigration. They even care more about the federal budget deficit than immigration! (To put that in perspective, the next item on their list of concerns was "scratchy towels.")
Also, note that Pew asked about "immigration," not "amnesty." Those Hispanics who said they cared about immigration might care about it the way I care about it -- by supporting a fence and E-Verify.
Who convinced Republicans that Hispanic wages aren't low enough and what they really need is an influx of low-wage workers competing for their jobs?
Maybe the greedy businessmen now running the Republican Party should talk with their Hispanic maids sometime. Ask Juanita if she'd like to have seven new immigrants competing with her for the opportunity to clean other people's houses, so that her wages can be dropped from $20 an hour to $10 an hour.
A wise Latina, A.J. Delgado, recently explained on Mediaite.com why amnesty won't win Republicans the Hispanic vote -- even if they get credit for it. Her very first argument was: "Latinos will resent the added competition for jobs."
But rich businessmen don't care. Big Republican donors -- and their campaign consultants -- just want to make money. They don't care about Hispanics, and they certainly don't care what happens to the country. If the country is hurt, I don't care, as long as I am doing better! This is the very definition of treason.
Hispanic voters are a small portion of the electorate. They don't want amnesty, and they're hopeless Democrats. So Republicans have decided the path to victory is to flood the country with lots more of them!
It's as if Republicans convinced Democrats to fixate on banning birth control to win more pro-life voters. This would be great for Republicans because Democrats will never win a majority of pro-life voters, and about as many pro-lifers care about birth control as Hispanics care about amnesty.
But that still wouldn't be as idiotic as what Republicans are doing because, according to Gallup, pro-lifers are nearly half of the electorate. Hispanics are only 8.4 percent of the electorate.
And it still wouldn't be as stupid as the GOP pushing amnesty, because banning birth control wouldn't create millions more voters who consistently vote against the Democrats.
Listening to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus burble a few weeks ago on "Fox News Sunday" about how amnesty is going to push the Republicans to new electoral heights, one is reminded of Democratic pollster Pat Caddell's reason for refusing to become a Republican: No matter how enraged he gets at Democratic corruption, he says he can't bear to join such a stupid party as the GOP.
This is good.

Ron Paul: I’m worried that the government might kill Edward Snowden with a drone
During an interview with FOX Business, former Rep. Ron Paul explained that he was concerned about the well-being of National Security Agency whistle-blower Edward Snowden.
“I’m worried about somebody in our government might kill him with a cruise missile or a drone missile,” Paul explained. “I mean we live in a bad time where American citizens don’t even have rights and that they can be killed, but the gentlemen is trying to tell the truth about what’s going on.”
Paul added that there were no signs of Snowden defecting to a foreign country, which meant that he was not really a threat.
“It’s a shame that we are in an age where people who tell the truth about what the government is doing gets into trouble,” he concluded.
That would be cool. Crazy but cool.

I didnt say you couldnt speak on it only that your opinions dont mean shit, and they dont.
plenty of countries show that gun control doesnt work...
you ask why always schools, b/c they are gun free zones...tell us all again how creating a bigger gun free zone is going to help.
fuking moron
My opinion matters a helluva lot more than someone who has never left the trailor park bitch. I have traveled the world and seen places unlike you. Thats means i can form an educated opinion something you will never accomplish. Go back to sucking dick for money homo you will never get an education or a decent job anyway
