Quite right. This whistleblower was biding his time and analyzing his next moves, all while continuing to do his job. That is at the apex of professionalism IMO. These RP types are just soaking in the information and not performing any action. They are what we call "tier 2" whistleblower defectors. Look for more to copycat if the gov't is stupid enough to crack down hard on people.

If anything has been learned over the last month or 2 with all of these scandals that have come to light, it's that "the government is out to get all of us" in some way.

Remember back when people like you made fun of Tea Party members claiming that they were paranoid when they claimed that the gov. was too big and that groups like the IRS were out to get them?

The NSA dealy is quickly becoming a wedge issue. Unlike the IRS that only targeted tea party groups, the libs don't know who's data has been mined.

They have your voting record now.

With paper ballots gone there is no more confidentiality of who you voted for.

They know all now.
Remember you sign in and they give you that little 4 coded slip of paper.
Now you point and click to vote.

They don't have to fire you. They'll just watch you a little closer maybe.

I don't think they'll go that far. They'll just see if you're registered Independent, flag that, and then find out if you contribute to C4L or any other RP sponsored outfit.

Don't give to third party folks directly (always through an intermediate who doesn't need a clearance) and keep on the DL regarding any outlier opinions. Watch who you associate with.
