Quote

There's a huge cost to freedom in letting people talk about how you print these plastic guns or letting them say these things about arming for tyranny. There's also a cost to letting the government say these ideas can't be expressed, this is treason. It's difficult.

They're called 'facts', and my role is to amplify those, not cheerlead. And I don't care at all what you think of my motives.

The single most remarkable (and revealing) fact of the Obama presidency may very well be the lack of a single prosecution of Wall Street executives for the massive fraud that precipitated the 2008 financial crisis.

Snowden has enough [sic] information to cause harm to the U.S. government in a single minute than any other person has ever had.
