We Can't All Be Traitors, Can We?
American Thinker ^ | 25 Feb, 2022 | J.B. Shurk

Free speech certainly isn't very "free" when it can be targeted by the State as indisputable proof that its critics are guilty of treason.

The Democrats' favorite Harvard Law luminary, Laurence Tribe (the reigning godfather of the "living, breathing Constitution" lie that has justified its being regularly rewritten willy-nilly by an oligarchy of nine) took to Twitter to casually speculate that Tucker Carlson and "the GOP's Trump wing" are committing "treason" for being more interested in Biden's runaway inflation, unprecedented illegal immigration, and North America's rising police state than the local regional squabbles of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. So one of the left's most esteemed scholars of constitutional law has accused Trump-supporters of being traitors to the United States for...wait for it...not sufficiently caring about the borders of an Eastern European country Putin already invaded eight years ago while Obama and Biden were first in power.

It's amazing how easy it is to become an "enemy of the State" these days. Showing up in D.C. on January 6 to protest the multifarious yet unexamined instances of vote fraud in the 2020 election has been propagandistically framed by the national security deep state as an "insurrection" intent on overthrowing the government. Attending local school board meetings to voice disapproval of district mask mandates, pornographic library materials, or Critical Race Theory indoctrination has been sufficient evidence for the Department of Justice to label parents as "domestic terrorists." Hillary consigliere Marc Elias has spent the last several months attempting to kick Republican incumbents off midterm congressional ballots by invoking part of the 14th Amendment's Civil War–related language barring from office those who have engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" against the United States. How did the Republican congressmen engage in war against America?

The intolerance of criticism by their opponents and their tolerance of violence by their supporters is not enough hupocracy to embarras the left.

Larry Tribe has been a laughingstock for years now. Many years. Only Chardonnay Antifa and Cat Ladys listen to him.

I don’t believe in Their Democracy (TM), but rather in the Constitution-in-Exile.

Why should Americans fight at the bequest of some cabal for the "freedom" of a county halfway around the world, when our own Freedom is being taken away by this same cabal?

We're going to spill American blood so that what? We get to live under a Davos dictatorship?

Well I found out former Fox News and WNYN anchor Juliet Huddy is anti-Trump. I was following her on Twitter because I once watched her. It was a olda ccount I abnadoned till recently. She is messed up. I asked her what happened and got no reply. No wonder WABC-AM fired her after trying to use her on shows for 3 solid years. She attacked subtly Kimberly Guilfoyle’s speech at CPAC yesterday.

Is it any wonder Joe just makes up stories every week and spits them out?

“Adults are back in charge” - That didn’t age well.

“It’s amazing how easy it is to become an “enemy of the State” these days.”

Actually, the term is “Enemy of The People”, and most here will hear that term, as we’re being dragged off the DNC version of gulags. Of course that won’t happen if people on our side VOTE to keep the Democrats out of power, but just yesterday we had one Freeper here start a thread proclaiming he’ll vote Libertarian in 2024 because of Trump’s recent statements about Putin.

So we get that much closer to the jack boots coming to our doors.

Meanwhile, on the subject of traitors, there's our SS (and I use the two letter acronym deliberately)...

Secret Service unable to produce three years worth of travel records for Hunter Biden "These search parameters did not yield communications for the years 2010, 2011, or 2013."

I just finished reading the Gulag Archipelago again, and I believe Solzhenitsyn poses that very question multiple times in the book, when talking about those in the camps.

Never doubt that Democrats want you dead.

What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats will do to us.

That FReeper is probably a DU troll, government agent, or a NeoCon duplicitous c***.

To answer the headline - sure we can. Just check out the Twilight Zone episode “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street.”
