There are none so blind as those who will not see.
So lets recap;
Activly encouraged our enemies... Sounds like treason to me.
Took money to influence US policy... Sounds like treason to me.
Undermined US policy and leaders...Sounds like treason to me.
Took positions that were very damging to the US...Sounds like treason to me.
But maybe he is right, and we are all just a bunch of right wing whackjobs. After all, who are we to say that Iran going to the Mullas was bad? Or that Saddam was in fact a nice guy after all. Or that the USSR had the right idea after all?
Oops, thats right, history and common sense.

P.S. What say the Brethren ?
Satisfactory my friend. Isleton doins ... March 4-6
Hindsight is 20/20. Quality Americans built up Saddam before we had to take him down; it would have been hard to know the future. Good Americans supported Afgan rebel fighters; it would have been hard to know some of them would come back at us. Good Americans made decisions in Lebanon that did not work out so well....selling arms to Iran might not have been the best idea either, but nobody thinks there was treason involved..
This is my last post on this topic, its pointless to continue beyond one more summary:
Carter was a crappy president and has shown himself on the wrong side of history more than once. By no account does he not care about America and her well-being; his ideas about it are not great, but he is not a traitor, and all the ranting in the world won't convince a substantial number of people that he was. Every president makes mistakes- every single one- and treason is a filthy word that should be used carefully.
