Of course the NSA can read your stuff. The question is, will NSA be able to read your stuff /without you being specifically targeted/. There is a MASSIVE difference between getting caught in the global dragnet and being specifically targeted with nation-state malware and hardware hacks.
Don't expect that just because you are using PGP for email or OTR that NSA can't read your shit if they put their mind to it - but it's extremely unlikely that they will, and nothing would protect against it. It's a noble cause to use encryption, to stop yourself from intentionally giving data to anyone with a promiscuous WiFi card and broadcasting "please steal this" to anyone that can. You are choosing to give the NSA all your data.
Using an encrypted alternative to Skype also prevents Microsoft from Big Brother-ing you, too. It's not just the NSA, but Microsoft selling personal information to advertisers or collecting analytic data that you have every right not to provide.
