John Kerry for saying American soldiers "terrorize" Iraqis and violate their customs.
The New York Communist Times for revealing the existence of the NSA wiretapping program.
The Catholic Church, labor unions, Big Business, and the liberal media for inciting an illegal immigrant invasion.
George W. Bush for refusing to deport any of the 20 million illegal aliens.
George Clooney for his blatantly anti-American movie, "Syriana."
Unfortunately, one could go on forever.
Is this treason? Can treason be ok if it is morally justified? Is it no longer treason?
1) The Benton area of Northeastern Pennsylvania is very conservative. During the Civil War they sympathized with the South, and received the name "Fishing Creek Confederacy." Some of them actually went and fought for the confederacy. One young person told me about his great grandfather's diary. The ancestor was a teenager who joined the confederate army and committed homosexual acts. After that point, they stopped reading the diary. Was this treason?
2) Were some southerners were executed as traitors? Were the southern confederates treasonous?
3) "George W. Bush for refusing to deport any of the 20 million illegal aliens." Really?
4) The British considered the American Founding Fatehrs treasonous to the oaths they swore to the crown.
5) Thomas Paine supported the French Revolution. Were the French Revolutionaries traitors?
6) If French Intelligence has information on Saddam's Iraq (or another country) and gives it to US intelligence without permission because he knows it is necessary for the US army's success, is it treason?
7) If a citizen of a democratic Latin American country gives US intelligence secrets and there are hostile relations between the countries, is it treason?
Thank you.
