The way the question is phrased, I don't think it means what you imply.

Of course, I'm not sure what you implied.

In America, if you make public your opinions, your audience
is going to label you a liberal or a tea party type.

The news media and the politicians have cranked up the idea
of party differences to the point where people can't be civil.

So, there are a lot of places I wouldn't discuss Snowden.
But it's not the government I'm worried about.
