I've been reluctant to use the word treason, but I just don't what else to call it anymore.

There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate

He is there illegally!

WAKEUP AMERICA!

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3 (1868)

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress,
or elector of President and Vice President,
or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States,
or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath,
as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States,
or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer
of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States,
shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same,

or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The FBI has proof of his giving aid and comfort to the enemies

Hanoi Kerry Timeline of a traitor
includes FBI files

May 1970
Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

It's treason.

[Richard Axtell]

Murtha cleared the path, but Dean and Kerry crossed the line with their most recent comments. Treason is certainly what I would call it, what else can one say, other than "TRAITOR"!?

[NormsRevenge]

Sure makes ya wonder when the AG gets off his ass and starts doing his job and starts leveling charges at all the a'holes in government and the streets who are no friends of this nation but operate openly to provide aid and comfort to our sworn enemies.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, we are at war.

It really makes you wonder if he and others in high offices can see the threats they present to our survival.

[VaGunGuy]

It's a shame that W isn't as great a President as Lincoln was. I give you Lincoln's words on the subject: "Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged." He backed it up, too.

Article 3 Section 3 also includes the word "adhere". The question of if they are providing "aid and comfort" is moot, because they certainly are "adhering" to America's enemies.

If these people had been around during WWII and there had been a Republican in office, they'd be advocating "strategic redeployment" of our troops out of North Africa during Operation Torch. They'd be pointing to US casualties at Kasserine Pass as being too high a price to pay for oil, and they'd be screaming about how Tunesia had never attacked us.

[Enterprise]

I want to help too: It's called:

TREASON

[redrock]

No...it's not treason.

But the Democratic Leadership DOES remind me of watching the chimps at the zoo...slinging shit everywhere...and rolling around in it....and even smearing it on their faces.

He nailed it in that article

[Chena]

Treason, sedition, evil...it's all the same to me. Good post, smoothsailing. :)

[de Buillion]

In only a technical way, I believe that it may not be legally treason, because the congresscritters have not passed a "Declaration of War". In every other commonsense way, it truly IS Treason. Please, veterans, remember your oath. "All enemies, domestic and foreign". Took mine in Aug, 1964.

[Petronski]

Yes.

[JohnBovenmyer]

There's actually very little difference between the position of the most Freepers and most Democrats regarding the war. Both favor a traditional American war ending, unconditional surrender. They only disagree on which side should surrender.

It's a shame we can't have a phased double surrender. First let just the libs surrender to the jihadists. Let them get the full Sharia treatment. Then have the jihadists surrender to the rest of us. We'd then have grounds to treat them mercifully.

[Blind Eye Jones]

"Is It Treason Yet?"

Yes, it was always treason! Americans don't want to see it for what it is. It's "Falcon and the Snowman" or a variation on that theme, to be picked up by Hollywood, to be adored in a Michael Moore movie, to be prettier than CODE PINK... loserville, man!

[R. Scott]

If our Congress Critters would actually make a formal declaration of war it would be treason. Without it treason would be a difficult charge to prove. WW II was the last time we had a declared war. The Korean War, Viet Nam War and now the Iraqi War were undeclared – and treason was rampant and not prosecuted.

I've been reluctant to use the word treason, but I just don't what else to call it anymore

An opinion shared, apparently, by President Bush and Republican et als. . .

Truth is. . .it has been 'treason' for a long time now. . .and I absolutely do hope that this essay expresses the sentiments and beliefs of GOPUSA and of the whomevers left in our Congress that has the fortitude for genuine patriotism and the responsibility that their elected office demands.

[Jim Noble]

I don't think it's treason, it's better called wannabe treason.

The charge of treason is hedged about by Constitutional language, and for good reason. It was a principal weapon in the hands of the King to deal with his enemies, and in 1648-9 it was used by Parliament to kill the King.

The essence of a treason charge is the aid or comfort given to the "enemies of the United States". It's my view that only the People of the United States, acting through their representatives in Congress assembled, can define their "enemies", and the only way they can do that is to use the power granted to them in Article One, section 8 to declare war on them.

Any other construction enables the commander-in-chief (who will not always be GWB) to turn someone or something into an "enemy of the United States" through his own military powers, and that opens up the vista of treason prosecutions which the founders never envisioned.

It's yet another reason that Congress' abandonment of OUR (not their) war power is so bad.

If the People of the United States had declared war on the al Qaeda organization and Iraq, Michael Moore would be in prison right now.

It's a shame that our representatives failed to do so.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

"Treason doth not prosper, for what's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it treason."

[Buffettfan]

As Rush says all the time. What's good for the democrats is bad for the country and what's good for the country is bad for the democrats. The democrats will stoop to any depth to regain power including rooting for the enemy.

[TigersEye]

You damn betcha it's treason!

It's time to reinstitute the death penalty for it too and have a few public hangings for it.

[Alia]

It is treason. And I think the Dems are "outting" themselves, perfectly. They've been given a long rope by which to hang themselves. And they are. And Repubs doing a "bloodless" coup. We don't behead people in the US. The Dems support suicide. They are doing it to themselves, and with a glad hand from compassionate conservatism. Hot coals on the heads.
