Does it help you when other countries start banding together against us and create international problems? Not to mention undermine our efforts at quelling dangerous terrorist cells. Our main weapon against terror is being a better country for our citizens. People coming out and contributing to the idea that we might be just like muslim regimes, or reinforcing their belief that we are evil does not help. It hurts...a lot.

I was unaware he went to HK. That's fine with me.

Well it was quite a revelation to the Russians...great job. Glad to see our foreign relationships are threatened by these AMERICAN HEROES.

A Patriot would do what is best for the country. Exposing military secrets and secret intelligence to enemies does not help. Enjoy more of your taxes going into NSA and military so that we can now protect ourselves from new enemies.

So, you think supporting the criminals in charge is the best for the country? The people demonstrating in the arabian spring were doing not the best for the country? Russian opposition that fights for gay-rights or freedom of press is not the best for the country? All dictators and criminals around the world are thanking you for this line of argumentation.

And don't come with terrorism. Far more people die of traffic-accidents, obesity or smoking than from terrorism. Terrorism is only used as a cause to justify pissing on basic rights of all people. We also know already, that Prism and similar programs aren't used against terrorism. The last reveal was, that it was used against Megaupload. Not that this helps to create a valid case, so far the founder Kim Dotcom is and stays free and sued the country of compensation for the closing of Megaupload.

wtf are you talking about? You're just saying things nonsense. It's like if I said I support the rights of all people, you would turn around and say "oh so you support the rights of serial killers". Listen to yourself. You're engaging in enemy creation 101. You're generalizing arguments and calling me an enemy. Your post is so full of vitriol it makes me sympathetic for anyone who has to engage in conversation with you IRL. You think you're being a leader, but in fact you're just being a bully.

Also, FYI We've also spent billions on car safety, smoking cessation, and obesity and created lots of laws to help protect our citizens from outside forces that might introduce these things on us unwillingly. Excellent fucking point.
