    As a registered Republican until age 33, didn’t like it that one had to be of one mind or else labeled a RINO.  Don’t like ideologues in the Democratic Party either.  I have several PURE “progressives” as Facebook friends and have to be neutral since most of my family and childhood mates tend to support the Tea Party.  I joined that social site to see pictures of friends’ growing families and keep up with their careers and not to have some use MY page to preach their politics or religion.  I’ve already been “unfriended” by a “brothers forever” pledge brother of 55 years because he deducted from a statement I must have made that I am no longer the YAF member he remembered from college.  I have never seen such a partisan divide in our nation in my lifetime living under 13 presidents now,  It didn’t seem to be this bad even in the tumultuous 60’s.  I am finding as a Democrat now, you either take the “right” side on issues like GMO’s, Keystone pipeline, drones and now Snowden or you are NOT a REAL progressive in the minds of some.  As far as Snowden, as a child of the 1930’s I am glad he wasn’t around during WWII or else we might all be speaking German or Japanese now.

    Adding to my list of “loose lips” is former Sec. of Defense Bob Gates.  In an atmosphere of hoped-for bipartisanship, Obama elected to keep on a left-over from the Bush administration and it has backfired. Hate seeing people leaving a high paying job to then turn on their former bosses, revealing privileged information best kept until they are out of office.  I am sure Karzai knows that he was not a favorite of President Obama, but probably didn’t expect to hear it from a big mouth out to make a buck from a book.  Gates did no favors for Hillary Clinton nor Joe Biden, either.
