Those folks wanted to secede to form their own country. these folks simply want to tear ours down around us in the name of their selfish party and their lust for power.

The Rosenbergs and Alger Hiss wanted to secede? I missed that. I thought they wanted to tear us down in the name of their selfish (Communist) party and their lust for power. To do so, they passed vital secrets to the enemy. THAT is treason.

What do you call it when the most powerful and visible Democrat in Congress with a military background announces to the world that our soldiers and Marines have failed in Iraq, cannot win, and must be withdrawn immediately?

- When he further says, "they" (meaning our soldiers and Marines) "have become the enemy" and that terrorism actually started with their deployment to Iraq in 2003?

- When the evidence is actually quite to the contrary, that our soldiers and Marines have performed magnificently in achieving their objectives, that the insurgency is on the ropes, and Democracy is taking root in the Middle East in consequence of the brave and faithful efforts of our soldiers and Marines?

- When the natural tendency of such words is to undermine the morale of our soldiers and Marines and to enocurage the flagging spirits of the terrorists who kill our soldiers and Marines?

If not perfidy or treason, what do you call it? What politically correct euphemism do you prefer?

Sure is. And so is encouraging the enemy and trying to destroy morale on the homefront.
