New York Rep. Peter King slammed Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Sunday for praising NSA leaker Edward Snowden.
“When you have Rand Paul actually comparing Snowden to Martin Luther King or Henry David Thoreau, this is madness, this is the anti-war Democrats in the 1960s that destroyed their party for almost 15 years,” King said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I don't want that happening to our party."
King also blasted other Republicans for voting to defund the National Security Administration last week, calling the move “disgraceful.”
“I thought it was absolutely disgraceful that so many Republicans voted to defund the NSA program, which has done so much to protect our country,” King said.
King called the recent streak of anti-NSA moves an “isolation” in the GOP, long known for strong stances on national defense.
“This is an isolation streak that's in our party. It goes totally against the party of Eisenhower, Bush," King said. "I mean we are a party of national defense. We're a party who did so much to protect the country over the last 12 years."

How did NSA help security under Obama? He missed the Boston bombers, and who knows who else? It was one program under Bush, but Obama turned it on Americans and ignores Muslims and their mosques. Peter King is way off base with his wishful thinking.

A reminder that there are big-government Progressives in both parties. McCain and Graham are two other GOP examples.
They crave power and control as much as any Democrat, and are willing to use the rationale of "national security" to achieve their ends, which have little to do with keeping Americans safe.
Our enemy is not "terror" or "terrorism", as is currently pretended, but radical Islam. Building a massive data collection infrastructure that captures nearly all private communications and stores it exclusively for government use in undefined ways is not going to do a goddamned thing to defeat the enemy. That would require identification, intelligence gathering, and infiltration of the enemy, not innocent Americans. Let's start with the Mosques known to house and train members of radical Islamic groups and known terrorist training camps right here in America
It will, however assist in the domination and control of the American people from our overlords in Washington, DC. If Peter King was serious about national security, he might begin by asking what a major Islamic training camp (http://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2013/04/islamberg-usa-the-muslim-only-town-where-residents-learn-guerilla-warfare-tactics-2624514.html) is doing in his home state of New York.

There's no need for any high-tech snooping. Just good old-fashioned human field intelligence work: observation, infiltration, recruitment, training... Of course, the current DCIA is reputed to be a Muslim convert, so that might be a problem...
