WHICH SIDE ARE CONSERVATIVES ON?
Are conservatives on the side of freedom or of fascism?
You'd think that would be a no-brainer, that of course they're on the side of freedom. Yet in the last few days, a number of prominent conservative thinkers and leaders have had such a strong emotional reaction over Edward Snowden that they've allowed their amygdala to seize control of their prefrontal cortex.
It's a temporary condition, and they'll soon be thinking rationally again. Yet as TTP is "The Oasis for Rational Conservatives," let's assist them in doing so.
First, some examples of conservatives rushing to defend Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Party from Snowden's whistleblowing. Then we'll ask, What conservatives haven't drunk this Kool-aid? (Hint: Rushbo is one.) Then we'll get to the bottom line:
Rather than condemning Snowden, we should be celebrating him. He has not done the slightest bit of damage to our real actual national security. In fact, he has enormously enhanced it, and in two enormously important ways.
