Ted Cruz's Orwellian Slip Is another Snowden Moment

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz's slip that may have revealed a classified N.S.A. program to check out every American's phone calls wasn't necessarily a bad thing; he may have inadvertently perped a Snowden moment, or perhaps a Patrick Henry sort of thing where a politician says he may give at least one truth for his country.

So Senator Cruz is not much to blame for being plain about the endangered status of American individualism, privacy and security from corrupt government that regards public affairs as its own proprietary turf to profit from. State terrorism is historically as great or greater of a danger as foreign invasion. With the incredible electronic surveillance capability of modern nations along with corrupt and incompetent political leadership it is remarkable that Americans remain moderately free. If or when the switch to martial law occurs it won't be easy to turn that power off.
