Sorry, criticism and dissent are not treason. Leave censorship to the left.
It is treason when the other side is merely critical simply because they want a different position. They are kind of like a child saying no. If tell a child the sky is blue they say no. Simply because they can or they want to be stubborn.
Now I'm not saying we should throw them all in jail in the true sense of treason. But we have to be honest about the severity of the damage they are doing to us by always saying no just because.
Every second that people have the luxury to sit and debate the war is evidence that the Bush Administration is succeeding in protecting us. There would be no such luxury with bombs in our streets and knives at our necks.
Sorry, adhering to the enemy is treason.
This argument has been going around and around since the Iraqi invasion. I have a hard time with not being allowed to question authority but I also understand the need to have the enemy believe that, having started, we aren't stopping until they surrender or die.
Where I have finally come to with decisions of war is that the time to debate and dissent is up until the war is engaged. Once engaged we stop being two parties or 50 states or 100 special interest groups. Once engaged we become Americans, we become the enemy of our enemy, and the enemy knows that the jig is up. No turning to the left or to the right, just straight on 'till victory.
Shalom.
