Bush, Paulson and others should be tried for treason and hung.

Save our country from socialism.

God save our republic.

Cut it out!

Quit blaming Bush, solely.

Clinton planted the seeds.

And this bitter harvest is being reaped under a Democrat Congress!

“Bush, Paulson and others should be tried for treason and hung.”

**************************************************

Have you ever read the Constitution? If not, I’ll help you out.

The U.S. Constitution specifically defines the crime of treason:

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”

Can you explain how the actions taken by President Bush and Secretary Paulson, and others fits that definition? If you can stretch that constitutional definition into fitting the current situation you would be stretching the constitution even more than Ginsburg, Souter, or Stevens do on their most creative days. I always thought that true conservatives were deeply committed to strict construction. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe we conservatives are given the license to read it however we want to when it suits us.

And on top of all that, you would be stretching the definition so as to deprive people of life. Is that what you really want to do? Or are you just venting?

I may not like the government actions taken, but I think that some of the comments being raised are more than a little over the top.
