First I want to say that the NSA spying is still a emotional issue for some I will agree, but with me the reason why NSA Spying isn't as big of a deal is because I am Pagan. Not only am I Pagan, but I am Druid as well. People have no idea what it is like being part of a Clan or groove.

As a Modern day Pagan I have given up more rights then I had to because I believe in my spiritual path. First let me say the one thing I can give out is i am a Druid of the Light so all my dealing is with the path of Light. What this means is not only are my views Progressive in natural, but I follow a higher calling set by the Gods and Goddesses. I believe in peace, but if you threaten someone that doesn't mean I wont' stand up and defend my loved ones.

There are certain lines drawn even with Pagans that people do not cross. One of those lines though that we give up is some of our rights and freedoms because our path is one that helps the Groove, Coven, or clan. We are also being watched by members to make sure we aren't telling important secrets.

I think a understand most of the points of view, but I am still torn on Syria. First let me say I am progressive when it comes to my politic views. I do believe Alan GRAYSON

GRAYSON: No, because we still haven't heard anything that would explain why there's a vital U.S. national security interest in attacking Syria . that's the bottom line here. I feel bad that this attack happened, but it wasn't an attack against Americans. It's not an attack against anything that resembles an American interest.
We can't be the policemen for the world. We have to pick our fights.
The country is incredibly war weary at this point and understandably so. We should tend to our own garden first.

I agree with Grayson we shouldn't be the world Police, but what are we as a nation this is the tough part. Read More

First of all let me say I wasn't born a Pagan I was raised a Christian, but never felt Christianity held the answer. I truly do believe there was a person named Christ, but I believe that he was trying to do something similar to what other peaceful religions were doing. The actual Christ was a reformist who became a Religion by the people who wrote the New parts of the Bible. I respect the man who was Christ I have no issue with Christianity I do know that Christianity stole a lot of our ideas. One of my favorite stories of this is the Goddess Brigit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/...

Saint Brigit of Kildare (Irish: Naomh Bríd; c. 451–525), also known as Brigit of Ireland, is one of Ireland's patron saints along with Patrick and Columba. Her name is also variously spelled as Brigid, Bridget, Bridgit, Bríd, and Bride and she is sometimes known as Mary of the Gael. Irish hagiography makes her an early Irish Christian nun,[2] abbess, and founder of several monasteries of nuns, including that of Kildare in Ireland, which was considered legendary and was highly revered. Her feast day is 1 February, formerly celebrated as the Imbolc quarter day of the pagan Irish year, which marked the beginning of spring, lambing, lactation in cattle, etc.

While I am upset my Goddess was stolen here is something I do respect below Read More

I know this is most likely not my place and I know people have deep ideas about what is going on with NSA, but first let me say I'm a REAL PERSON. I'm also not a fascist. I'd love to take the time to introduce myself since I have been grouped together into something only because I posted a comment. I came here because I like Politics, but I do not know how well I will do in the current climate. Apparently lines are drawn between Dems.

I would like to state I am a progressive Dem. I'm not fully happy with all the things Barack Obama has done, but I think between Obama or Romney I am still glad I supported Barack Obama. My first choice was John Edwards after he dropped out it was between Obama or Hillary. Honestly I think either or would have been fine as a President. There is a lot of stuff Bill Clinton did that I didn't like either, but that is part of the Pagan in me.

You see as a progressive I am not a single issue voter. I believe in changing NSA, but I do not believe in how the story with Snowden is. No offense to those who support Snowden I just do not believe the story has been handled well and that is a media issue on my part. I do not like the total drama or on going Soap opera effect. This whole Episode is confusing. Below the jump I'll explain more
