Truth and Treason – Edward Snowden
In this recent article on the Post I was reminded that Snowden did more to defend liberty, the Constitution and his oath than it seems our Congress has done in my lifetime. Perhaps that will change after his stand.
When you take that oath, it’s not private interests, the NSA, the DHS, the police or even the military that you serve. It’s the people and their law of liberty. You are pledging allegiance to what our banner means. To the freedom and justice it was made to represent.
Consider this man who laid his life, his liberty and his honor on the line to expose TRAITORS and uphold his oath to defend the Constitution. Those traitors still walk free while he hides. But the conversation has been started. Will WE demand justice.
I don’t know all the good and bad of this man. We are all human. But from what I can see, his actions exemplify a patriot who stands for liberty. Liberty that is more important than your job, your big TV or your football.
“Truth is treason in am empire of lies” – But a traitor to that tyranny is a friend to people of liberty. Our Congress should be standing up for this man. How much their silence says. My prayers go up for him. Thank you Edward Snowden for your service.
