Democrats and treason

Call me this generation's Joe McCarthy; I really don't care – I'm tired of watching people hold back in their assessment of what Democrat Party leaders are doing with regard to our troops and their missions in the war on terrorism.
A number of Democrats are engaging in actions that seem to me to be nothing short of treason against our nation, and it's time they be held accountable for their actions.
Yes, I said treason.
According to Dictionary.com: Treason is any attempt to overthrow the government or impair the well-being of a state to which one owes allegiance; the crime of giving aid or comfort to the enemies of one's government.
Right now we have almost 200,000 American military men and women serving on the frontlines in the war on terrorism against an Islamic terrorist network that has attacked our nation repeatedly over the past 20 years. As chairman of the nation's largest grass-roots, pro-troop organization, Move America Forward, I work hard every day to help show support for these American heroes.
Each day Islamic jihadists are trying to kill and injure our troops who stand in the way between the jihadists and we, the American people, or in the lexicon of the radical Islamists, the "infidels."
Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has just returned from a trip to Syria that she took in defiance of the U.S. commander in chief and United States military officials, traveling during a time of war to one of the world's chief sponsors of Islamic terrorism.
Syria has sent thousands upon thousands of Islamic terrorist fighters across its borders into Iraq to injure and kill American and Coalition troops.
And this is what Nancy Pelosi had to say for herself as she visited one of the nations in the "Axis of Evil":
We came in friendship, hope, and determined that the road to Damascus is a road to peace.
Nancy Pelosi says the road to appeasing terrorists is the road to peace.
On Wednesday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Pelosi was next considering a trip to Iran, the other leading member of the "Axis of Evil."
Even more galling, Pelosi's travels to appease the forces of terror took place just days after the Democrat-led House of Representatives and Senate voted to call for the surrender of U.S. troops fighting Islamic terrorists in Iraq by 2008.
Democrat Senate leader Harry Reid, who is not commander in chief and who does not have the authority to send American troops into battle or call them home, nevertheless has announced that he will lead the fight to deny funding to U.S. troops if they do not surrender to the forces of terrorism and evacuate from Iraq by March 31, 2008.
Reid cannot even attempt to pretend that this was a principled stand to lower American causalities in one theater and fight the war on terrorism on another front.
Less than five months ago – on Nov. 30, 2006 – Reid sent a note to his fellow Democrats in the Senate that said: "We're not going to do anything to limit funding or cut off funds."
Sen. Reid knew better then and he knows better now.
Reid has chosen to undercut our troops with the knowledge that his actions are emboldening Islamic terrorists to kill more U.S. troops and to launch more brazen terrorist attacks against American civilians here at home.
Meanwhile, in California, Democrat State Sen. Don Perata has announced that he will push for a referendum on the 2008 California election ballot to send a message to the troops that Americans do not support their missions in Iraq.
Perata's calling it the "Vote Us Out of Iraq" measure, and he hopes his efforts to undermine the missions of U.S. troops will spread to other states. The ballot measure won't alter U.S. foreign policy at all. It merely is a propaganda tool that would hurt U.S. troop morale and embolden America's enemies.
Even the liberal California media has found Perata's actions inexcusable.
Democrat State Sen. Don Perata paints a target on the backs of our troops.
The Stockton Record questioned whether the Democrat lawmaker's move was a "stunt" or "grandstanding" and concluded with the admonition that they didn't support "state funds being wasted to accommodate what is essentially a meaningless gesture."
The San Jose Mercury News speculated about whether "Sen. Don Perata's proposal for [a] ballot measure on the Iraq war just a political ploy."
The famously liberal L.A. Times published an editorial titled "Frivolous balloteering?" that lambasted the "Vote Us Out of Iraq" ballot measure. "Asking California voters to weigh in on military policy is like asking Congress to give advice on filling potholes," said Robert Greene of the Times editorial board.
If even the anti-war, old-line media recognizes that the actions of Democrats like Perata are for purely political reasons, then how can we pretend to look the other way and not confront these awful people on what they are doing to our troops and this nation?
These Democrat leaders are literally helping to kill U.S. troops and endanger American civilians simply so they can try to score political points in the middle of a war.
I'm sorry, but if that is not treasonous conduct at a time when our military men and women are fighting for America's safety and security, then I don't know what treason is.
OMG, I was thinking it when I wrote my reply but I didn't even have the intestinal fortitude to "speak" it. I do feel it may well come to that. We are losing so fast. I'm wondering if Pelosi is more dangerous than Hitlery. Is that possible? Does it matter? I'm truly scared.
If I was 40 years younger I would not even consider having children. The legacy we are leaving them, if things stay on the current track, is bitter and not much sweet.
(Reid)...nevertheless has announced that he will lead the fight to deny funding to U.S. troops if they do not surrender to the forces of terrorism and evacuate from Iraq by March 31, 2008.”
The commie is declaring war on the U.S. military.
To deny funding is to get our troops killed.
Reid and Pelosi, in a sane world, would be hanged by the scrawny necks.
hildabeaste is a socialist who will do anything to gain power.
pelosi is a megalomaniac who already thinks she's more powerful than the beaste.
Does it matter? 'Only if you forget to reload' ................ FRegards
BUMP! BUMP! Am I gaining some degree of hope? This is TREASON...the world witnessed it! Where is the Justice Department???? Time to email the Justice Department, until they get with the program! We certainly cannot trust the main stream media to do their jobs. So it is time for us all to get busy. Bitch…Bitch…Bitch….did you write your Senators and Representatives this week? WE THE PEOPLE must at some point take a stand…or we will get run over by the liberal media!
You're deluded. The Saudis are the largest providers of funding for islamo-terrorism in the world.
The royal family there is wahabbis because the country is, and just in case their natives turn on them, they have a fleet of private jets, big jets, fueled and at the ready, to fly them to their many distant palaces in many Countries.
There are more than 4000 members in the family, they're in it for the money, and they've done well. They snubbed our President recently on a State Dinner. They get away with their insults and terrorist activities only because they sit on 40% of the oil in the Middle-East.
The kindest thing they've done recently is call nancy pelosi a 'Whore'! .............. FRegards
“Peloser should be exiled to Iran. Then we should shoot her with a ICBM.”
Yes, I agree and can “We the People” make it a flight of two with Harry Ried in the formation?
Funny how you, Michael Moore, Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein (piss be upon him) and the Iranian gangster mullah regime all consider the Saudis as enemy #1.
As for me, I’m sticking with my President and our allies.
Sounds good, but let's hang them first. Then we can exile them to Iran and shoot them with a ICBM.
islam is the problem, and it comes in the two basic forms, sunni and shia.
All the various sub-groups are still problematic, but the majority of the funding is Saudi.
Hope this link works:
Stay well and well armed. We’re still in a fight ........... FRegards
Sure, some Saudis fund the bad guys but that does not mean we have to go to war with Saudi Arabia anymore then Great Britain had to to war with the USA just because some Americans sent money to the IRA.
