They are part of the government, you are an individual citizen. Do you somehow not see the difference? Is this a difficult point for you?

When was the last time that you personally passed a zoning ordinance and fined people for not obeying it?
When was the last time that you personally arrested and imprisoned someone after their appeal to your personal court failed?
When was the last time that you imposed and collected taxes?
Does any of this ring a bell?

Until you can reliably discern the difference between the powers wielded by a government and you as an individual citizen you aren't really qualified to make any claims of treason.

What could possibly go wrong? And of course "black hat" hackers are not a problem in any way.
To the extend that you aren't "free" it appears to be mainly due to being captive to some crank ideas.

Unserious and apparently unmedicated.

Will your spleen be empty any time soon?

Maybe you could be so kind as to point out the "tyranny" being "loathed" in that post?

Lots of horses? I don't think so. Truly exceptional turncoats like that are once or twice in a generation.

Snowden is wanted as a fugitive from justice. He has refuge in Russia. That's about all there is to it, your theatre aside.

You seem to be building the case that he was a traitor, and embracing it.

You and your "hero" don't seem to either understand or support democratic governance.

Remember this statement?

Apparently it is a legitimate concern and your view isn't worth much.

BTW - That "single" incident resulted in two assassinated police officers.

You seem to have missed some news stories.

NYPD Cop Killer Used App to Track Police Movements Since Early December

Maybe you could explain why 911 isn't going to work but this phone app would?

The "nearest" police officer may not be available to help with your problem since she may be engaged in another issue. Is your plan to bounce from "nearest" police officer to "nearest" police officer until you find one available to go back to where you had an issue to help you? And that is an improvement on calling 911 how?

You're trying to put lipstick on a pig of an idea.

Even though the police are "public servants," that doesn't make you their boss.

Many people on Slashdot put far too much effort in trying to rationalize bad ideas.

FTFY

I looked for the words "untrue" in your post and didn't see them. That's the real problem, the reports are true, so you have to try to disparage the source.

And no, the Daily Caller isn't "extremist right wing." Forbes is an ordinary news source.

The problem is that you aren't concerned with truth, only political alignment.

You first.

Obama Administration REFUSES To Release Documents About White House Role in IRS Scandal

THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTS: IRS Gave Taxpayer Information To White House

In 'Lost' Trove Of IRS Emails, 2,500 May Link White House To Confidential Taxpayer Data

There is plenty more digging to do, especially given the stalling by the administration.

There seems to be a very large gap between your understanding of events and the facts. Here is a modest start for you.

IRS admits targeting conservatives for tax scrutiny in 2012 election

The IRS Scandal, Day 623

Lerner wanted to work for Obama activist group

So, you're here to "correct the record" and explain why the IRS really didn't do it even though they admitted it? Clueless and hopeless.

The question isn't "did they do it," but how much are they covering up and how close does it get to the seats of Democratic party power?

The IRS Scandal, Day 623

On that we can agree.
