You mean his government.

No, I mean his country.

Civil disobedience or w/e against a surveillance state culminating in fleeing to Moscow says all you need to know about Snowden’s commitment to freedom and opposition to surveillance.

It tells me he's willing to risk his life and freedom, and take a big hit to his standard of living and lose a cushy job, and contact with most of his friends and family, to inform the American people of the crimes their government is committing against them.

You said he "sold" his country out, but you got it backwards. He didn't get paid for his whistleblowing, but did get paid to help break the constitution before that. It's those still working for the NSA that are selling you out.

I hope you don’t have any power over anyone. Your views are a combination of evil and stupid.
